FOR A HOLIDAY.
HORSES ON" VACATION. All truck and delivery horses owned by the city authorities of Berlin were given a three weeks’ vacation on a 300-acro municipal horse farm. Officials in charge of the place, formerly a nobleman’s estate, say it pays the city to give horses a rest by the same token that it pays to give human beings a vacation. The animals get all the oats and hay they can eat, and prance around the meadows or 101 l in the shade under the trees. Many private business concerns are adopting the idea, sending their horses to the same farm while the drivers afe on vacation.
