Hints on Horses.

1t is perfectly awful the way some
folks treat their horses. l don't won
der they have trouble with them.
just for style they have their heads
checked up so that it's marvel there
are not more runaways.
I will never go tearing down hill.
I'd rather gallop up, it isn't half SO hard
on the animals.
Just for the looks of the thing, if for
no more humane reason, go down a
hill moderately, for nothing makes a
horse knee-sprung so quickly as the
habit of rushing down.
When you take your horses away
from home and put them in strange
stable, under the care of strange men,
as very often happens, when you dc
your own driving, it's very wise indeed
to cool them off before you get them in,
for the stableman may be wanting to
| get home, and he don't wait, but waters
them at once, and when the poor beasts
are foundered, you wonder why.
Speaking of horses makes me want
to say how glad am that some one has
had the courage to lift up a voice and
protest against the heartless fad ot
blocking"
It's perfect torture to me to sit be-
hind creature so MANNED.
OF course, if horse is "rein catch.
er" it is necessary to have the tail band
aged.
I wonder some sympathetic stable
man hasn't invented an adjustable tail
to be worn in the stalls in fly time.
believe it could be done, and I'm no
joking, either.-N Y. Recorder.
