More than half of the diseases so
prevalent among farm horses are due
to improper attention to the common
laws Of sanitation, and farmers would
save many times the expense of pro
perly constructed stable were they to
try the experiment. The animals that
are so closely connected with the sue
cessful working of the farm assuredly
deserve better care and attention than
is usually given them. The humane
man will therefore see that they have
light, roomy, we'll ventilated stables,
where disease will be far less likely to
enter.
Dusty hay should always be we'll
shaken. If this cannot be done it
should be dampened, For horses no.
thing but clean hay should be used, or
the result will be heaves, disease
which is seldom cured. The straw
may be economically mixed with hay
if this mixture is passed through a
cutter. The best method of feeding
ground grain is to mix it with cut
feed. Damaged hay may be best uti-
lized as bedding, as it should not be
fed at all.
