lines I have laid down, they will find they will have far 

 less expense in buying fresh horses, but it will be conferring 

 a great boon on the poor animals. Do not wait till the 

 horse goes wrong in the legs before adopting the water 

 plan — "prevention is better than cure." 



I have given an illustration of a horse's front legs 

 on a previous page, shewing how they appear after a long 

 spell of work without relaxation, such as I am advocating. 

 These legs would never have been in such a weak and 

 strained condition had proper care been taken before they 

 had gone so far. 



FINIS.
