Show A. C. U. NOTES The care of horse collars It is always best, says Prof. H -phries of the Farm Mechanics dement, de-ment, to use a full leather collar ' preference to the canvas ones, a"r;d 1 is also a good plan to have an extra c ' lar-for each horse smaller than regular size in case the horse sr.o.'. ' get thin and the regular collar n,t - ! well. In this case a cheap collar ' do very well. The inside of the oil i ' where they rest in the shoulders sh . ' be washed each evening and dried : ' with a cloth. A little. harness oil i: 1 plied occasionally greatly adds to 1 life of the collar. If sweat pads '' used they, too, must be kept perfc: ' clean, but the value of their use is q. . ' tioned. They scarcely ever do any i ' in the way of preventing or curing 1 shoulders. They are a nuisance to t the teamster and the horse. Ifth: lars get too large to fit well, better: a new collar instead of using a pad. |
