CONCERNING THE HORSES.

Be careful how you turn horse
that has been accustomed to dry
stable out to grass in the Autumn.
He is poorly prepared to stay out
in the cold rain, much less to lie
on the wet ground.
The exposure is too great and can
only work harm; lung troubles may
follow.
Nothing improves the coat of
horse so much or so quickly as a
little ground flaxseed with his daily
grain ration.
Never feed or water a tired horse
until he has rested at least an hour.
Sponge out the mouth and nose
with cool water and rub the legs
and body we'll as soon as the stable
is reached.
If water has been withheld for
long time give only few swallows
at time.
AS heavy work slackens, slacken
on the heavy feed. Thousands of
horses are ruined every year by
overlooking while on light work.
1t is never well to give animals
impure or muddy water, but the
horse is especially apt to be af-
fected badly by that practice. In
fact, horses will not drink such wa
ter if they can help it. DO your best
to help it.
Shoe every horse as lightly as is
possible for the labor he is to per-
form and thus avoid needless con-
cussion and jar to feet and legs.
After removing saddle apply
plenty of cold water with sponge.
This closes the pores and no injury
or swelling will follow.
1t is good plan to girth a thick
