Don't Sell Your Old Horse.

A writer in the November Farm

worked-out horses. She says:
Perhaps to the average farmer,
sentiment and success are not SYM
onymous, yet am often amazed at
the indifference displayed when it
comes to disposing of the surplus
members of the barnyard family
especially the faithful horse that has
become too old and feeble to be of
active service.
4" Dobbin has been a mighty good
horse in his time, says the farmer.
If he were ten years younger
wouldn't sell him at any price, but he
is beginning to play out A. has
been wanting him for some time, and
j think the wisest thing to do is to let
him go now while he will bring a
reasonably fair price ,"
