In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can purchase raw linseed oil at cricket stores, sports stores, and online. Raw linseed oil will help the wood in your bat bind together and expand, which will prevent cracking as you knock your bat in. Other oils will not work. Do not get boiled or cooked linseed oil because it's not as effective. Pour 1 teaspoon (4.9ml) of raw linseed oil directly onto the flat side of the bat. Then, use a clean rag to rub the oil equally over the face and edges of the bat. Do not apply over 1 teaspoon (4.9ml) of oil on the bat or you will over-oil it. Over-oiled bats will look dark, feel slick to the touch, and will smell of linseed oil. The bat should get slightly darker once you apply oil to it. Do not rub oil into the handle, toe, or rounded backside of the bat. The oil will absorb into the fibers of the bat. Repeat the process with the linseed oil over 2 more days to ensure that the bat is completely oiled. Multiple applications will allow more oil to be absorbed by the bat.
Summary: Purchase raw linseed oil. Rub 1 teaspoon (4.9ml) of oil into the bat with a clean rag. Let the oil dry for 24 hours and repeat the process 2 times.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A horse must become familiar with the weight and sound of a saddle on its back. Just like with a halter and bit, spend a few days getting the horse used to the sound of the saddle, how it smells, and how it looks. After the horse is used to the sight of it, hold the saddle over the horse's back without touching. After the horse has gotten used to seeing the saddle, place the saddle pad/blanket on the horse's back. Leave it on for just a few moments. Then, if the horse responds well, take it off and reward your horse. Repeat several times. Do this on both sides so the horse gets used to you doing this from both sides. If the horse becomes very frightened, more than is controllable, quickly remove the saddle pad/blanket and return to a more familiar task like rubbing with the blanket or leading before you try again. Distract the horse by patting it and be sure to release the pressure quickly. Leave it on for a few minutes, then remove it. Do this from both sides of the horse. Make sure you remove the stirrups and leathers while saddle breaking a horse. Do this very slowly. Tighten the girth little by little each day, especially if the horse seems skittish. If the horse seems too scared, stop and keep getting it acclimated to the tack. When your horse allows the girth to be tightened all the way, lean gently on the horse's back. Next, longe with the saddle on and the stirrups down. This helps the horse get used to things by his sides and legs. Also, start placing the leathers back onto the saddle. Do this slowly over the course of 1 to 2 weeks. Only introduce one new element at a time. Let the horse lose his fear of the item before introducing it to something new. Walk the horse around with the stirrups on after it has gotten used to the way they feel. This will help to get the horse used to the feeling of the stirrups bumping against its sides and the feeling of the tack on its back. When the horse can wear the saddle for longer periods, start longeing around the arena with the saddle in place.
Summary: Introduce the saddle. Place the saddle pad (English) or saddle blanket (Western) on the horse. Introduce the saddle onto the horse slowly. Fasten the girth on the horse. Get the horse used to stirrups. Longe with the saddle.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Using too much Vagisil can lead to severe side effects, so only apply a small amount. The amount of Vagisil cream that you use should be about as long as your fingertip (about one inch long). Do not insert Vagisil into your vagina. Only use it on the parts of your vagina that are outside of your body, such as your labia and vulva. Use your finger to rub the cream into the outer areas of your vagina to help soothe itching. Do not apply Vagisil to large areas of your body. Applying Vagisil to large areas of your body may cause severe side effects, so only use it on the affected areas of your vagina. If your itching extends beyond the area that a small amount of Vagisil will cover, then call your doctor or gynecologist. The product works by blocking the nerve signals that cause itching. This will provide some temporary relief from vaginal itching. Just keep in mind that it might take a few minutes for the medicine to work, so try to be patient. You should not use Vagisil more than four times per day. If you still have symptoms after using Vagisil, then contact your doctor or gynecologist. You may require a prescription strength medication.
Summary:
Use the smallest amount needed. Apply Vagisil to the outside of your vagina only. Allow your skin to absorb the Vagisil cream. Reapply three to four times per day.
