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 Jieart. It means better 

 things. 



Cast-iron rules will not do in horse management anv more 

 Jhan in the family. 



What is a horse good for without sound feet ? 



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

 but it is so. 



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

 2antern. 



Nobody is more fully humbugged than a farmer who 

 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 use 

 them if the horse can do without them.
