HORSES.
For steady draught, large, slow-moving teams do the work more economically than quiet-moving ones. It is far better to go once with a heavy load than twice with Ijo-ht ones. It is the comparatively small, quick-going nervous horses that balk. A heavy horse will rarely refuse to draw. If a horse hurt iu any place where it is difficult to put on a bandage, instead of a sticking plaster, which does not hold well, use some strong glue to make a circle round the wound, then glue on this some cloth and to that sew, paste, pin, or in any other way fasten anything in the form of liniment or the like. It is no way necessary to cut away the hair as with sticking plaster. To remove after healing use a little warm water.
