92 Horses on Board Ship. 



A box has a door at each end, so that the 

 animal may be able to go in or out of it which- 

 ever way it is turned. Instead of straw 

 padding inside the box, I would recommend 

 the employment of large pieces of felt, to be 

 secured by being laced through holes bored in 

 the planking, so as to dispense with the use of 

 nails of any kind, next to the horse. Each 

 side of the box, at different ends, should have 

 a small door (Fig. 15) through which the 

 animal's dung may be removed. The box 

 shown in Fig. 14. is not provided with this 

 convenient door. Figs. 12 and 13 show a 

 rope which passes through the sides of the 

 box and across the horse's back, so that, when 

 it is drawn tightly, it will keep the animal 

 down, in the event of his struggling to get 

 out of the box.
