Show Cold ISridlo Bits. During th bitter cold weather in winter win-ter much suffering is thoughtlessly inflicted in-flicted on horses by putting cold bridle bits into their mouths. If the person who does this will apply his tongue to a piece of iron on a frosty morning, he will understand at once what the suffering to the poor brutes is. To slightly warm the bits before putting them into the horse's mouth would require only a small expenditure ex-penditure of labor. This can be done by rubbing them with a blanket or other cloth a moment or two if other means of warming is not at hand. The beneficial results in the gentleness of the animal will amply compensate it. Detroit Free Press. I |
