John Tucker says: Proper food and lots of sentiment will make ivith good blood a good horse. The brush 7uill save oats. There is a great deal of saving in a 7valk. It is all right to feed the horse hay only t^oice a day and the most at night. Find sofne way of keeping the horses busy all 7innter. Thus only 7vill they keep sound and be ready for hard spring ivork 7vhen it coj)ies. It is expensive to 7uarm ice'7vater inside the stock. Horses eat dirt and gna7u their ifiangers froyn habit and because they 7udnt to. Ask the horses if they can^ t help out the hay mo7o by eating the straw sprinkled 7uitJi bran. If you niust put frosty bits in some mouths^ let it be your 07vti. Sufferi^ig begets sympathy. '.V,'..!, „*='.»t:js^
