DrduJhts Of Coid dir ia the
Stable. Horses are quite sensitive
TO chilling draughrs OF air blowing
upon them, and especially upon their
heads hence, 10 the construction of
stables this sholld DO borne 10 mind
Many stables have the horses face an
alley along the sides of which are
doors, or large space is left entire-
open 10 such cases, Whenever the
rear stable door aud the one leading
out Of the alley arc open, the horses
stand 10 a chilling draughI, from
which they can not escape. Horse-,
like m,ny pc pie, can stand muc"
wind in 40 open field, but will catch
cold while in draugh, onlys = short
time. With proper ventilation, the
doors Of the stable should be KEEP
closed in cnld weather, that ~
