Fit Collars to Horses shoulders.


1t is very Important to have col
Lar. fit nicely and snugly to the shout
ders of the horse. 1t enables him to
work with a great deal more ease,
and to apply great deal more
strength. 1t prevents calling and
wounding. as the friction is avoided.
Collars are so made, or should be
made, as to throw the chief force on
the lower part of the shoulder. The
horse can apply but little strength
on the upper part, and for this rea-
son breast collars are coming greatly
into vogue, as the strength is exert
ed on the lower part of the shout
der. To make a new collar fit the
shoulder of the horse. the collar
should be purchased Of the proper
size; just before putting it on the
first time immerse it in water, let
ting it remain about q minute, and
Immediately put it on the horse,
being careful to have the names so
adjusted at the top and the bottom
as to fit the shoulder, and then put
the horse to work. The collar by
being wet will adapt itself to the
shoulder. and should dry on the
horse.
When taken off it should be left
in the same shape it occupied on
the horse. and ever after yon will
have a snug-ftting collar and no
wounds aliey Farmer.

Those persons Who sdesifS % imskS Mn
Walsingham look gloomy, do SO by re-
ferring to the fact that her husband il
an ingenious man. WsJsingham, It. ep-
pears, thought il would5 bef1 1ios to have
his baby's carrisge propelled by Some
other power than nuFse,girl. 30 he
bought Newfoundlapd dog, fitted a
harness to him, and trained the animal
to draw the coach, which it did very
nicely. One afternoon, however, while
Mrs. Walsingham was ont with the dog
aud the baby, the dog saw another dog
In which he felt interested, and he i'm
mediatcly dashed over to Che stranger,
for the purpose Of taking few sociable
snuffies. The exact point upon which
the two differed will probably never be
revealed; but before Mrs. Ws!singhsm
could get across the street, tho doga
were engaged in combat of the most
frightful character. Mrs. Walsingham's 8
baby, it is supposed, had no especial
lyearning to participate in the conflict.
and yet thero that unfortunate infant
was mixed up with the dogs, and appa-
rently regarded by them as entitled to
an equal share Of the bites which were
being banded round. Whenever one of
tue 0oB5 nupPeueu 10 get ulnaelI 1ntO
such position that the other dog could
not obtain n comfortable place for his
teeth, both dogs would knock off for o
moment. and join each other in taking
u few promisouous nips out of Mrs.
Walsingham's baby. The more Mrs.
Walsinghnm screamed and poked into
tho fight with her parasol. the more the
dogs tried to swallow each others legs,
and the more they tangled their toeth
with the baby. Aud at last, when the
Wulsinghn,n dog retreated, aud attempt
cd to jump through the fence, in which
he was caught by the coach and firmly
held, Mrs. Walsingham picked up that
bleeding and mutiiated child of hel

OF asking Walsinghsm if lie thought hit
