CARE OF ANIMALS. IN SUMMER.-The
American Humane Association presents

CARE OF ANIMALS IN SUMMERTIME
American Humane Association presents
the following suggestions relative to the
care of animals during the heated tsr:n.
Provide water-fresh, pure water. The
active dog requires drink frequently dur
ing the hot day, as does also the cat; anu u
dish of fresh water should stand :" here they
can have access to it. Hydrophobia ls al
most unknown in those localities where dogs
can drink when they wish. Give tho horse
frequent opportunity to quench thirst at
times when not too much over heated, and
before eating. To drink freely imm ediate-
ly after eating prevents digestion of food.
If the pasture ia not provided with shade
trees, in a convenient locality set four, elk
Oh. eight supports, across which place straw
and grass, and thus, in brief time and with
little labor make shade in which animals
can rest from the heat of the su1. Remove
the harness from the horses in the hot day
whenever YOU desire to give them full,
free rest and once during the day, preiera-
bly, at night, a thorough currying and
grooming will not only give rest, but VIII
do about as much towards improving the
animals condition as will the oats. Blinds
check-reins and ciuppers are Simply Tor
turing contrivances, serving no useful pu'-
pose. Take them all Oft Keep The stable
vel! ventilated and free from the strong
ammonia, which is Injurious to he eyes:
Assist the animals TO protect thtmselVed
against flies, feed regularly, Fitch III the
shade, and remember that tho care which
will give comfort to the lower animals Will
make them doubly profitable to their own
ers. aside from the humane bearing upon
the subject.
