Deane's New. England Farmer says, To fit
horse for journey, he should not be suffered to
grow too fat and gross. He should be kept in the
Stable rather than in the pasture. and fed mostly
with provender; but rather sparingy if inclined
to be fat. He should have exercise daily to harden
his flesh and keep him in the habit Of travelling.
He should be shod some days before he begins
Journey, that the shoes may be well settled to his
feet, and the nails little rusted at the points, that
they hold the faster. And the pads Of the saddle
should be WE'LL fitted to his back as to fill the
hoows, and bear equally on every part. And
while he is on journey he should be stabbed eve
ry night. 1t is very destructive To expose horses
to the dampness and cold Of the night after severe
exercise
