HOW TO HELP HORSES ENDURE THE HEAT.

By Geo. T. Angell

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 the driver of your herdic, cab, or carriage, 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.—Geo. T. Angell.
