Far better to rig up a pine-brush

shiver during bitter cold night in

storms are brewing see that all the

The Shoulders of the Horse.


Coming now to what is meant by
"harnessy" shoulders in saddler, the
term is more or less erroneous, for
the reason that the position of the
shoulders should be oblique in har-
ness as well as in saddle horses.
Those who use the term mean to con-
vey the idea that the shoulders are
more or less upright and the withers
more or less thick and meaty. This
formation, as already detailed, pre-
supposes short neck and a stilted
way OF going, both of which are very
bad faults in saddler. A certain
amount of jerk-and-slam action may
go with straight shoulders, but all
the most accurate actors in the high
stepping classes have possessed slop-
ing shoulders; indeed, very decided
slope is necessary to enable any horse
10 show the correct sort of action,
which may be described as that the
fore foot should apparently be follow
ing the circumference of a rolling
wheel. Forest King was the greatest
actor we have ever had in this coun-
TRY. Anyone who remembers the set
of his shoulders will grasp the point
sought to be made instantly. when it
is stated that the truest and best ac-
tion is never associated with straight
shoulders. At that, however. much
straighter shoulders will do for
ordinary harness uses than for the
saddle. for in the leather they have
not to sustain the superimposed
weight OF the rider. Hence the appli-
catlon-or rather mlsappllcation--of
the term "harnessy" IN describing
or discussing tho shoulders OF saddle
horses.-Breeders' Gazette.

Inc very great decrease In typhoid

is not the only carrier. The same au.

the disease may be spread by the
agency OF files, personal contact, shell.

or vegetables raised in polluted soil.

industry has reached such an extent that the
annual average yield OF honey now amounts To
