word for it. Your eye is your market.
Don't buy a horse in harness. Un1litch

can see it. Let him so himself away and
If he walks right into anything YOU know
he is blind. No matter how clear and
bright his eyes are he can't see any more

show their weaknesses or tricks in that
way when they don't in any other. But,
be as smart as you can, you'll get caught
sometimes. Even the expert gets stuck.
A horse may look ever SO nice and go
a good pace and yet have fits. There
isn't a man who could tell it until some

he stops on the road. After q. rest he
starts again, but he soon stops for good,
and nothing but a derrick can start him.
The weak points about a. horse can better
be discovered while standing than while
moving.
If he is sound he will stand firmly and
squarely on his limbs without moving

poised: or, If the foot is taken from the

nothing in the business to call into play

factories of the country move in the

and when we recall the brief period

encouraged at their great success.

AN EXPERIMENT IN FEEDING.

To test the relative merit of crushed
VS.. whole oats IN feeding horses one Of
the great London omnibus companies
some years ago conducted an interesting
experiment OF the 5000 horses in the
company's employ one-haIf were fed on
crushed oats and cut hay and straw, and
the other half on whole oats and hay.
The ration allowed per day to each
horse according to the one system was:
Crushed oats, 16 pounds: cut hay, IL
pounds; cut straw, 2is pounds.
The quantity allowed according to the
old system was: Whole oats, 70 pound;
uncut hay, Is pounds. a daily saving Of
six pounds of food was thus effected, and
this saving was not merely in the quantity
but in the value of the materials en-
ployed, for straw in the former case was
substituted for hay in the latter.
The advantage of one kind Of feeding
over the other was far more apparent
when reduced to money value. The saving
by using the crushed oats and cut hay
was nearly 215 pence per day for each
horse. which was equal to f62 los. per day
for the 5000 horses.
