BInuketing Horses.

1t is not unusual for over kind and
very careful people, in very cold wealth
er, to put on a heavy blanket under the
harness of their horses when about to
drive to town OF to church. This prac-
tice, although intended as humane
one, is by no means tn he recommended.
While the horse is performing his work
there is no danger that be will suffer
from the severest cold, or that his ma
tural clothing will not be enough. In
deed, unless his work is very slow, per-
SEPARATION will be excited, and the moiS-
ture thus arising would be retained by
the blanket, instead of being immedi-
ately dissipated into the air. The con.
sequence is, that, the moment we stop,
our horse stands in the cold winds, with
a wet blanket over his whole body, the
effect of the evaporation of the water
being to make him much colder than he
would be if the blanket were taken off
The true plan is, in cold weather, never
to blanket a horse while he is taking
his exercise. and never to allow him to
stand a moment without blanketing
with a dry blanket, when his exercise
has ceased. So true is this, that the
most careful and experienced owners
and drivers of fine horses find it advan-
tageous to remove even the heavy coat
ing of hair that nature supplies for the
winter season, so that there may be no
accumulation of moisture about the
skin in consequence of heating work;
and TO supply its place, at all times,
when the animal is at rest, by ample
clothing.
