242 MOUNTED INSTRUCTION 



All paragraphs covered in these lessons are of the utmost importance. 

 Much assistance can be given the class by picking out the "meat" of 

 each paragraph and covering the same by a question and answer. 

 These questions and answers may be printed and a copy given each 

 member of the class. Illustration : What are the three principles of 

 feeding? Answer: 1 — Water before feeding. 2 — Feed in small quanti- 

 ties and often. 3 — Do not work a horse hard immediately after a full 

 feed.
