Note to the Teacher.—In caring for animals there are 
several simple accomplishments that are of importance 
and value. These are learned by observation and prac- 
tice. No farm youth should neglect the opportunity of 
becoming proficient in taking the pulse, or temperature, 
or in following the movements of breathing in health or 
sickness. The post-mortem examination to locate the 
source of the disorder is always advisable. Each of these 
paragraphs in this lesson is important and should be well 
learned for the subsequent value in later years.
