Useful E;ats,

"A saddle put on loosely with slack
girth is very irritating to horse. and
soon produces sore back.
"A harness kept soft and pliable with
meats foot oil will last almost lifetime.
1t is stronger because slightly elastic.
and will seldom wear off the hair.
"A horses shoe will hold much lon
ger il the clinches are not weakened by
the file in finishing. Insist that the file
does not touch the end of the nail where
turned down.
A horse left uncovered when not i'm
exercise will soon grow a heavy coat of
coarse hair. This becomes hindrance
to rapid motion, and should be prevent
ed by judicious blanketing.
