CARE OF HORSES ABROAD

At recent committee meeting of
the humane society Professor Harry
Wheaton Howard gave a short sketch
of his experience and observation in
regard to the treatment of horses.
as noted during his residence abroad
at Berlin for five years, in Paris one
year, and in London six months.
He stated that in London horses are
treated best, and in Berlin the worst.
In Berlin small public conveyance,
holding four persons, is very largely
used. They are all numbered, one as
high as 1890 having been observed.
This style of vehicle, somewhat like
a hanson cab, is drawn by a single
horse, which is generally poor in flesh,
and is constantly whipped by the
driver. The asphalt streets are kept
wet by frequent washings, and this
causes a continual falling of the
horses. In view of this one always
allows extra time for probable delay.
When down the horse is quickly re-
leased by an ingenious arrangement
of harness and shafts. Each side of
the shafts is hinged Independently of
the other, and the harness can be re-
moved without cutting. In Paris, he
said, the treatment of horses is about
the same as in Berlin.
In London the horses are cared for
better than anywhere else in the
world They are all kept we'll
grOOmAd The overdrawn ohooL ro;n
is never seen, but frequently the
horses tails are locked and the names
cut, and binders are used. But they
are never touched with the whip, al
though one is always carried. Even
n driving horses attached to the over
crowded omnibuses the whips are only
cracked. The driving is perfect, and
compels the admiration of strangers.
