Working horses, 25 years oIl, are

may be vigorous and useful. The dr.
ration of II horses life is so years, il
he is we'll cared for, and in his old age
moderate work may be expected from
him. A large proportion Of horses are
ruined before they are five years old
by overwork, improper feeding, ne
elect, and abuse. Neglect and i'm
proper feeding find more victims than
over.work, for if horse in his prime
is properly fed and cared for he can
scarcely be hurt by steady work.
Feed should be given regularly as
to time and quantity. A horse has "a
comparatively small stomach. Five
pounds Of cut hay, and three quarts
of ground feed, should make a full
feed for a large horse. Horses that
are worked on the road at more than
walking gait, should have the hay
reduced to three pounds and have
four quarts Of the feed. If the feed
is noistcned with water, give nc

rages more injury by greasjng toe
plentifully than in almost any other
way. A we'll made wheel will endure
common wear from ten to twenty i've
wears, if care is taken to use the right
kind and proper amount OF grease
but if this matter is not attended to,
they will be used up in five or ten
wears. Lard should never be used on
a wagon, for it will penetrate the hub
and work its way round the lemons OF
the spokes, and spoil the wheel. Tai

enough grease should be applied to
The spindle Of a wagon TO give it a
slight coating; this is better than
more, for the surplus put on will
work out at the ends and be forced bv

boxes, To oil IN iron axle tree, first
wipe the spindle clean with a cloth
wet with spirits of turpentine, and
then apply few drops of castor oil
near the shoulder and end. One ia

whole. Let the fifth wheel of the
