Putting Horses to Work.

A good many young horses are usually
drawn upon to he lip out with the spring
work, says the Live Stock Journal. very
good practice to adopt. provided the labor
required of them be selected with discre-
ton and dealt out in moderation. 1t is
particularly unfortunate when a farmer
considers himself compelled to depend
upon young horses for his necessities, and
the natural anxieties that come of the US
ual delays, if much land be under tillage,
is quite likely to result in putting more
work upon the young animal than he can
safely perform. Particularly is he liable
to be injured if htched beside horse hav-
ing age and firmness OF joints and mus.

diments of injury embodied in it. The
