The other end passes l)otween her fore legs and through the ring which is suspended from the surcingle. The l>olo should be long enough to allow her to extend her neck and liead without pulling it out of the ring; but as a further precau- tion, a strip of leather may be wound around the lower end, and nailed so as to form a slight knob too large to pass through the ring. The harness docs not interfere with grazing, lying down or getting up, but she cannot suck herself. " T.
