SPRING CIRCULAR :
BY the Boston Work Horse Relief
Association.


Association.
l. Do not fail to provide clean,
warm quarters in which your cows,
ewes and mares can bring forth their
young. Navel i'll comes from dirt.
2. It is dangerous to expose young
stock, especially foals and colts, to
spring rain-storms. A days ex-
posure, If not fatal, may stop .
months growth.
8. It is bad policy to turn the stock
to pasture before the grass has well
started, bad for the pasture and bad
for the stock.
4. When the pasture season begins,
turn the stock out at night, instead
of in the morning. Then they will
feed through the night, and not lie
down until the sun has warmed the
air and the ground.
5. Get your horses into condition
for spring work,-the young horses
especially. Many colt has been
ruined by being put to hard work
without preparation. 1t is the same
with green horses.
6. In warm weather, thorough
grooming is almost as important as
feeding. Without it, dried sweat,
dead skin and dirt clog the pores,
make the horse uncomfortable and af-
feet his health.
z. Look out for the sore shoulders
and backs, especially in blowing. Be
sure that your collars fit. A collar
too big is as bad as one too small.
If the collar rides up, use martin
gale, or a girth running from trace
to trace, back of the forelegs.
8. When the horses are at work on
a warm day, lift up the collars now
and then to cool their shoulders, and
wipe off the sweat and dirt with a
bunch of grass.
9. Wipe off the harness on your
horses when you stop work at noon
and at night, and clean the inside of
the harness, the collars especially.
The salt sweat, drying on the skin
and on the harness, is what makes
