To prevent, by every poiiible means, the 

 hazard of fuch inconvenience as muft evi- 

 dently enfue from treatment fo very impro- 

 per, horfes fliould invariably, when the fea- 

 fons and the flate of thofe feafons will per- 

 mit, be watered abroad at either pond or pool 

 of foft and well-lheltered water; as greatly 

 preferable to the harfli and chilling frigidity 

 of thofe we have defcribed. But even in 

 this mode, a horfe fliould never be per- 

 mitted to glut himfelf to the leaft degree 

 of fatiety ; for having no regulator but ap- 

 petite, no guide but inclination, they very 

 frequently (under management of the inad- 

 vertent and inconfiderate) drink to an ex- 

 cefs, occaiioning the moft excruciating pain, 

 and no trifling degree of danger and dif- 

 quietude. Six or feven quarts need never be 

 be exceeded to horfes of this clafs at one 

 time, and that as regularly divided in re- 

 fped: to the equal arrangement of time as 

 circumftances wall permit ; to be repeated 

 twice in twenty-four hours, at nearly the 

 diftance of twelve from each other, to avoid 

 the frequent folly of having water twice 

 in about eight hours, remaining sixteen 

 without.
