PRATTS POINTERS ON THE HORSE 



riANQERS 



Horse owners disagree about mangers; 

 some prefer oak, while others give prefer- 



ence to galvanized or 



enameled iron. The 



most convenient, 



whether made of iron 



or wood, are those 



that contain hay rack, 



corn manger and 



water trough in one. 



These are very neat 



and easily cleaned. 



The diagrams show 



exactly how they are 



constructed. Wood is cheaper, but is apt to be gnawed ; 



while the iron ones last 

 forever, and are easier 

 cleaned. The wall 

 above the manger can 

 be either boarded or 

 tiled. Have two rings 

 in the manger and one 

 in the partition higher 



up. Never have the hay fed from an overhead rack, or 



from a chute, which fills the stable with dust. 



BAD HAY RACKS.
