Give Work-Horses a Fair Rest at Noon

“The work-horse should be permitted to have a fair opportunity to rest,” says the Michigan Farmer, “during the hour or so at noon, when the man who works him is resting. This he can not do if he is turned in to feed with the harness on. Strip him when taken to the barn or feed-lot; let him have a little water, cleanse his shoulders well, and give him enough grooming to remove the soreness of labor. When he has cooled enough, let him have what water he wants, and feed him where he can stand in comfort.”
