HOKSE FORTH AITUBE. 



not before the end of the week. I believe you know wnat 

 to do in the interim, and I shall not trouble you with any 

 commands, as I want to see how you will get along by 

 yourself. There is nothing like proving theory by 

 practice, and nothing will improve an individual like 

 having to depend on himself. 



PUPIL. I feel much more confidence in myself, which 

 is one point gained, and I hope that I can go along in a 

 manner that will justify my self-laudation. Before you 

 go, I would like to know if there is any difference to be 

 observed in giving the horses their water. 



PBECEPTOK. When you finish driving, and the horse is 

 unharnessed, give him a swallow or two of water, to 

 moisten the lips, throat and tongue, and after he has been 

 clothed and taken out to walk, give a few swallows more, 

 finishing with the usual quantity at feeding time. I have 

 also changed from former practices in this respect. My 

 custom was to " walk the water into a horse," by keeping 

 a bucket at the walking ring, and every few minutes giv- 

 ing a portion of it, till the fifteen minutes' walk and the 

 water came to an end at the same time. I think it is a 

 better plan to wait till the circulation is quieter, before the 

 stomach has much fluid put into it. We will give the 

 subject of drink our attention hereafter, when we will 

 have more time to discuss it. In the brush you give 

 Never Mind to morrow, do not exceed three hundred 

 yards. Watch May's action very closely, so as to report 

 any changes, and should any of them show any symptoms 

 of rebellion, treat them with increased kindness.
