TO DRIVE A HORSE.

The whip a Cause of Hrettins to Lively
Animal
The health, length of life and use
fulness of horses depend largely upon
the manner in which they are treated
AIT the start it is important that the
owner or driver should thoroughly UNI
derstand the disposition. condition and
Bbility of the animal that he drives.
Some men can drive a horse 80 or even
40 miles at a good rate of speed and
have the animal in better condition at
the end than another after driving the
same horse Eve miles. 1T is not by amy
means driving fast that Injuries a horse
So much as improper driving Often
more strength and vitality are taken
out of a horse in two miles of frettlng
through the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of the
driver than la going several times this
distance with proper care.
Some men cannot drive without a
whip la their hands. whether 1T is need
ed or not, and while there is no doubt
bat that ia some cases the whip is nee
essary yet 1t Is often the cause of more
fretting on the part of a lively horse
than any other one thing.
The driver who thinks that because
his horse is fresh lac can stand it to be
driven fast at the start for several miles,
ing slow. or one who drives fast for
awhile and then slows down To walk
in order to rest up ready for another
squirt, viii not get the best speed out of
a horse with the least waste of vitality,
especially in going long distances.
1T is a steady gait that counts most
and wears the horse least. Give him a
chance to get warmed up first, and then
let the gait be a steady one.
Another item is not to feed too heav-
lily before driving. A light feed of oats
viii be far better than heavier feed of
a more bulky grain. Exercise or action
too soon after eating retards digestion
and the animal that must travel at a
good gait with loaded stomach cannot
but show the effects and if driven rap
idly for even a short distance after eat
ing q hearty meal there is considerable
risk Of the collie
Watering properly is fully as impor-
tant as feeding. When a horse is being
driven on the road. he should not at amy
time be allowed to overload his ston-
ach with a large quantity of water. So
far az IS possible tho rule should be to
give water frequently, and while he
should have all that BE viii drink 1T
should be given IN small doses.
"A horse in good health can stand
more work and more driving without
injury than one that is in amy way out
Of condition. The feed and care should
be such as are best calculated to main
tain health and thrift, and then, when
on the road, care must be taken to use
this strength and vigor to the best adj
vantage
The good driver can tell by the way
/ his horse goes the amount of work he
should have.-Cor. ST. Louis Republic.
