of mercy and justice to our faithful servants, a sav- 

 ing to tlieir owners by preserving tlieir horses' health 

 and usefulness, a saving in straw and harness, and a 

 benefit to the inhabitants living near stables. 



May this appeal to the sense of justice of horse- 

 owners, not go unheeded for the sake of the ill- 

 judged saving of a few dollars. Every horse-owner 

 can afford that small outlay. 



Iron drains can be had at any iron foundry at a 

 cost of about fifty cents a piece. Hard w^ood laths 

 about ten cents a piece.
