HORSE MAXIMS. 



John Tucker says : 



The way to lift the mortgage is to hitch two good breeding 

 mares to it and bid them go. 



The difference between a good horseshoer and a poor one : 

 the one is a thinker, the other a tinker. 



A clean stable is like a clean heart. It means better 

 things. 



Cast-iron rules will not do iti horse management any more 

 than in the family. 



What is a horse good for 7vithotit sound feet ? 



Some horseinen will lie, and about horses, too. It is mean, 

 hut it is so. 



It' s poor policy to be mooning round in the barn with a 

 lantern. 



Nobody is fnore fully humbugged than a farmer 7vho 

 swallows the pedigree of a mongrel stallion. 



Bragging does not make a good horse. 



The frog in a horse" s foot is a buffet against lameness. 

 Don't let the smith cut it. Let it be as large and as low 

 as possible. 



Light shoes are better than heavy ones for most horses. 

 Calks are often added when they are not needed. Don't tise 

 them if the horse can do without the?n.
