PITY THE HORSES.

By Geo. T. Angell

[Geo. T. Angell, in Our Dumb Animals.]
On a very hot day keep a sponge, a towel, or your handkerchief soaked with pure cold water on the top of your horse's head.
If your horse's back is sore, use pure cold water on it freely every time the saddle is removed.
In hot weather tell your herdic or cab or carriage driver to drive slowly, especially up hills, and give him five or ten cents extra for doing it.
In hot weather be sure your check-rein is loose and your horse frequently watered.
In hot weather a mouthful of grass, or a piece of bread, or a cracker even, will help your horse wonderfully.
