376 AGRICULTURE ON THE PACIFIC SLOPE 



To atheletes in training plenty of rare meat, coarse 

 bread, eggs, vegetables, and fruits are given, so as to 

 make muscle; pastry and fats are hardly given at all. 



Care of animals. Animals need regular exercise. 

 They should not be confined in close quarters if it can 

 be helped. Too much and too violent exercise is very 

 bad for them. 



They should be kept as clean as possible. Pigs 

 should have pens with plenty of water in which to 

 bathe; they are naturally cleanly animals. Horses 

 should not be shut up day after day without exercise, 

 and they should be well groomed. 



The food of an animal should be proportionate in 

 quality and quantity to the amount of exercise it takes 

 (page 348). 



We have now learned something about how animals 

 live and how they should be cared for. We may now 

 study the different kinds of farm animals.
