The neglect of stock in the spring
entails heavy loss all through the sum-
mer: especially is this true with horses
that have to carry the burden of spring
work. Without making superfluous
flesh. they should be gradually fed up
and kept at work sufficient to harden
them, so that when the plowing has
to be done, they will be in good work

The practice of hanging up harness
on hooks back of the horses is very
Objectionable. If any trouble occurs in
the nightOsome of the harness will
probably be found in the morning
under the horses feet soiled If not
broken. Besides, just behind the horses
the harness is exposed to all the odors
from the manure, and this alone is suffi.
cient to rot it rapidly. The ammonia
from horse urine is especially destruc-
tive. A separate room for the harness
will avoid this. 1t will cause some
more trouble and expense, but it will
