Cara of Horses in the Spring.

Many young horse will take his
place IN harness at hard work at the
pillow this spring fer the first time,
and upon the care and skill with
which he is handled for the next
three months, will largely depend
his usefulness tor the remainder Of
his life. If possible let him be
worked at first by the side Of gen
tie, we'll broken mate. Let his har-
ness fit exactly and be strong and
secure in all its parts. Wherever
it touches and especially of the
collar, pads, belly band and breast
straps, the leather should be soft,
plant and clean. A decoction of
white oak bark may be used with
advantage on the parts which are
likely to become chafed, and an
exact adaptation of the collar to
shoulder and neck is the best safe
guard against injury. Remove all
dirt from the collar bearings and
wash the shoulder at least every day.
Feed moderately and give a bran
mash once in three or four days.
Offer your team water whenever
there is an opportunity. Founders
come from over draughts after long
abstinence from either food or water.
No horse ever becomes SO warm but
that he may drink a little water with
safety, and it is cruelty to refuse it
for hours in hot weather.
Do not ovor-task; clean with q
brush thoroughly every night, and
bed down with plenty of bright
straw, as you value the horses
health or a sound sleep with clear
conscience for yourself.-Prairie
Farmer.
