Overlooking TEAMS.
II Is Cruelty TO Animals ami a Great
Waste of Time.

Waste of Time.
\ great man. men who use animals
for labor are neither careful nor skill
full drivers, ami because of their want
of care and skill they fail to obtain all
the service which their teams are
capable of rendering. The animals not
only regularly fall below Il proper
standard of efficiency, bat they are also
especially liable to suffer from acct
dents and injuries
One of the most common faults of
men who use teams injudicinIsly is
OverlOading From this various evils
result. II the animals are young they
are likely 10 become either discouraged
or vicious. After repeated experiences
with loads thai are too heavy for them
the teams get balky. and vii! often re-
fuse to move loads which they could
draw without undue cXcrtion, and upon
which they never would have thought
of refusing to put forth their strength
if they had not previously been unduly
loaded. And when the habit of baking
has been formed ii IS exceedingly diff
cult to overcome. This is one of those

worth more than any quantity Of cure.
The attempt to make a team draw
IO0 heavy loads i a great waste of
TINE Three trips with moderate loads
might be made in the time required to
deliver two very heavy ones. More work
would be accomplished in Il given time,
and both team and driver would be
saved 4 good deal of very decided I'M
picasantness. The risk of injury to
the animals by ovcrstraining and 10y
fractions efforts, which is very decided
when the loads are too heavy, is also
avoided when there is a proper adjust
ment of the load to the strength of the
team. And a last, though it can
hardly be accounted the least. reason
why overlooking of teams should be
avoided is found in the fact that such
a course will remove from the drivers
