WATER WITH THE HAY.-It is
said that in Norway when a horse is
given his hay he also has bucket of
water given him. and he will take a
mouthful of dry fodder and then a
mouthful of water, as deliberately as
some people take their biscuit and
tea. Such thing as a breken-wind-
ed horse is seldom seen, and if this
were a universal habit among the
horses, it seems as if collie cases
should not be plenty
