When a horse is kept continually in stable, he has to be given a mash of bran or meal and roots, once a week. To make his coat shine we sometimes give him a little crushed flax-seed.

   Out pigs are kept in a "cro," or "sty." They have to be kept very clean, and their house should be cleaned out every day. To prevent their turning up of the "bed," put rings in the tip of the pigs' snouts. Pigs thrive best on cooked foods, such as potoes, roots, vegetables, and grain or meal.
