VENTILATION OF STABLES.--Horses are liable to
consumption when kept in badly-ventilated stables; and we
are informed by Mr. Edwin Chadwick that a discovery was
only lately made as to the effect of defective ventilation on
the cavalry horses in some of the Government barracks in
England ; and it is stated that a saving of several thousand
pounds per annum was effected by an easy improvement of
the ventilation of the barracks near the metropolis.—Tae
