HORSE WISDOM.

Weeks before field work is pos
sible every young horse intended
for service next spring should be
broken to dependable quantity.
Except in unusual cases Of rush
work the teams should cease

AZURE Of evening.
The buyers demand style in
drafters as well as weight.
Farm horses that are not to be
used through the winter should
have a roomy paddock in which
to exercise every fair day.
One of the most important

unresponsive horse.
When you begin to handle the
colts keep it up every day.
