This device is necessary in some cases, and is effective. IN THE STABLE AND AT WORK. 47 There is a great difference in methods of managing horses to get from them the best and longest service. Some men invariably drive rap- idly, regardless of the condition of roads; others not only drive with con- sideration, but continually guide the team so that the wagon will avoid all stones and heavy ruts, making it a constant endeavor to husband the resources of the horses. Rapid, careless and often inhuman driving will wear out the best pair of horses in one-half the time they will serve efficiently and profitably in the hands of a rational man. Better go twice than to overload the team. This over- loading is a most frightful cause of unsoundness. When loaded, stop often.
