Man's Influence. 



In prowiup horses, as in growing 

 other kinds of live stock, the most 

 potent factor is the man. Some 

 men shonld grow draught horses 

 only. Some men sliould grow 

 only trotters. The many should 

 raise the former, as they are so 

 much more easily grown. The few 

 should grow the latter. The men 

 who can grow;good trotting horses 

 of really superior merit are few 

 and far between, while those who 

 can also deyelop them are fewer 

 still. Some men should not grow 

 any kind of horses, as thev will 

 not make a success of it. They will 

 not make a success of it because 

 the.y do not understand it, or for 

 both reasons. No one should en- 

 gaire in growing horses who does 

 not take kindly to the work. And 

 no one .should engage in growing 

 any particular kind of horses, or 

 any class of the same unless his 

 tastes run in that line. However, 

 if one understands his business and 

 grows that class of horses in which/^ 

 he is most interested, there is but 

 little doubt that he will succeed 

 in the work. — Orange Judd Far-

Care of Horses. 



The feeding and watering of 

 horses should always be done at 

 the same hours everv day. This 

 regularity soon establishes regular 

 habits in the horses, which give 

 increased ability for work and 

 general comfort. It is always de- 

 sirable to feed earh- enough in the 

 morning to allow plenty of time 

 for eating, because the food is 

 more thorouchlv chewed and much 

 more easib- digested. Not lesfe than 

 one hour should be allowed at 

 noon. That time not required for 

 actual eating will be spent in quiet 

 rest, which restores muscular 

 strentrth, and allows digestion to 

 get a good start before field work 

 begins again. The total quantity 

 of feed required in the twenty-four 

 hours va-ries widely with individual 

 horses and their surrounding condi- 

 tions. The division of the total 

 qiiantitv of feied into three parts 

 that will be easiest to digest, al- 

 low the g^reatest comfort while at 

 work, and not diminish strength, 

 will be found best and most eco- 

 nomical. 



Every practical man knows how 

 stains, bits of straw, and the 1 ke, 

 adhering to woo!, spoil its appear- 

 ance, and, worse still, lower its 

 price. The wi.se flock-master will, 

 therefore, see that his wool is put 

 into thei bale free from these blem- 

 ishes.
