Horse Notos. Of all the fools who drive horses the ones who rush a horse downhill are the worst It weakens the tendons and nerves, jars the shoulders and springs the knees. A mare of any type bred to a horse of an entirely different type may produce a good colt, but the chances are against it. Teach the colts to walk fast The walking gait is the best gait. It takes much patience to teach a horse seven or eight years old to do new kinds of work, but let patience have her perfect work. The horse is not so much to blame, after aIL Shelter the Flock. During the winter months after the flock has been taken in from the field a good, roomy yank that is high and dry and sheltered from the west and north winds is a good place in which to allow the sheep to pass the . most of the days during pleasant weather, says a Wisconsin dockmaster In National Stockman. Feed troughs for grain and racks for coarse fodder are indispensable in the yard. Sheep seem to relish feed better out of doors than when fed inside the shed. After having passed the day in jthe yard they are ready to go into the shed for the evening feeding of hay and enjoy a quiet night Comfort and enjoyment are essentials that should always be considered.
