Great care should be taken at this
season of the year, TO keep horses from
taking cold, which is liable to occur if
they are lett standing in storm or cold
drafts after being driven. The better
the horse the greater the care, with

care of, whether good or poor.

as regularly as q person, and needs 1T
Just as much. 1t won't do to leave
your horses stand in their stable one
week. and take them out and over
drive them or over work them, and

mand. To do this, the selection of the
jacks is of the first importance. He
should be at least fourteen hands tall,
have good length of body, deep
chest, with upright ears. good tenn
per and sprightly appearance, and,
above all, a good sound condition.
