disinfected lest its previous occupant may have left the seeds 

 of glanders or some other disease behind him. Care should 

 also be taken to see that the animal is properly secured, as 

 sometimes the railway servants who are responsible for this 

 duty, though on the whole a most reliable body of men, 

 fail to do all that is required. The subject of ventilation has 

 also to be considered, for whilst the horse must not be half 

 stifled by the absence of air, draughts should be excluded 

 as far as possible ; hence some discretion should be exercised 

 when deciding which ventilators are to be kept open and 

 which shut, everything depending upon the temperature and 

 direction of the wind. It is a good plan for the man to take 

 a collapsible canvas pail with him if the journey is a long 

 one, as he can then water his charge on the way without 

 incurring the risk which attends his drinking out of an 

 infected pail, whilst it often happens at a railway station that 

 though water may be plentiful a bucket may be unprocurable. 

 Excepting in the very warmest weather a horse should wear 

 his day clothing whilst on a journey, hood and all, and even 

 in summer a linen sheet should be worn. Knee-caps should 

 always be worn and a tail guard also, as preventions against 

 accidents or minor blemishes. (See Clothing^
