THE DRAFT HORSE 77 



The Horses' Plea 

 Please give us water often. 



Please give us a moment's rest on the way up the hill. 

 Please do not overload us. We are doing our best. 

 Please do not use the whip. It is seldom necessary. 



FIG. 26. FOUB FAITHFCL FKIENDS 



Please remember that we will respond to a word as 

 quickly as to a blow. 



Please look out for our health, and don't work us 

 when we are sick. 



Please see that we are properly shod. 



Please be sure that we have enough to eat, and that 

 we are fed regularly. 



Please see that the harness fits, and does not chafe 

 sore or tender spots. 



Please remember that two weeks' vacation each year 

 will make us more serviceable and valuable. 



Remember, we work hard for you.
