These two things are essential to his 

 well-being : pure air to breathe and a clean 

 stall to stand in. 



It is not my intention to describe, mi- 

 nutely, how a stable should be built. The 

 details of this must depend on varying 

 and varied conditions. It should, however, 

 be supplied with plenty of windows, but 

 without any glass in the sash. Wire 

 screening, of about one eighth inch mesh, 

 is much better, as it lets in both light and 

 air, and at the same time shuts out the 

 larger flies and other insects, and protects 

 the horse from annoyance by children and 

 other thoughtless or malicious persons, 

 and causes the air to come in slowly and 

 steadily, without much blowing. There 

 should be no shutters on these windows.
