Rough on the Horse.
The joke Is on an Auburn (Me.) man who mixes up bran for his horse every night and who also uses sawdust for bedding. It seems that his wife, who sometimes assists in the care of the horse, changed the barrel containing the sawdust to where the bran barrel had been standing. The husband, not noticing the change, fed his horse with sawdust and bedded It down with bran.
