H ' TDJE METAL HORSE-COLLAR. H It is a mistake to uso a very soft H collar on a horse. Tho collar Bhould H' be as Arm as It can posslblj bo made, HJ and if of leather, tho surfaco should Hl ., bo smooth, hard, and tho .collar itself B 1 evenly stuffed with tho best of hair, H ' I ; or othor fine resisting material, Tho man who works hard with his hands t covered with soft gloves, usually finds I 'at the end of a day or two that his hands aro soft, and often bllsterod. I A horse's flesh is no difforont from a ' man's, in this respect, and whenever it comes in contact with a hard substance, sub-stance, it will, in timo, hocomo galled, tough and able Uo resist continued pressure, without injury. The metal horse-collar is in great favor with many horsemen, for this reason, They claim that it is always cool; the draft Is adjusted to tho wholo neck Instead of pulling most whero tho tugs aro attached, and tho horse's shoulders never becoxno galled. .
