108 PUTTING INTO CONDITION. 



As to the considerate Christian, who, after a hog- 

 hunt, or long day's journey, will carelessly hand his 

 faithful steed over to an ignorant syce, perhaps to 

 be tied up and left in the not unfrequent position of 

 a bullock at the slaughter, the hind-legs being tugged 

 a foot too far backwards, and the head pulled down 

 to the tent-peg, and he march off to fill his own greedy 

 stomach may nought but hot beer and tough meat 

 welcome his palate for dinner, and the night-mare, 

 in a buggy bed, be his only nocturnal repose! 



" THE HOUSE TO HIS MASTER. 



Take care of me a mile out, and a mije in. 

 Up the hill spur me not, 

 Down the hill push me not, 

 On the plain spare me not, 

 In the stable forget me not."

The whole to be finely pounded, and baked up 

 with gram flour and ghoor, into a thick ap. A little 

 ghee or fresh butter can be added, if the horse is

 will frequently be eaten with a relish, if the horse is 

 accustomed to bread and they are given fresh. 



When a horse drops exhausted, bleeding three or four quarts is rec 

 mended, giving also a pint of wine or beer, to enable him to crawl home 

 after an hour or two of rest. When home, treat as above, with bran mash, 

 emetic tartar, &c.
