THE FRENCII CAVALRY HORSES.--The French
Minister of War some time ago appointed a commission, of
which M. Maqndie was president, to report upon various
questions relative to the treatment of cavalry horses in the
army. The commission has just sent in its report. One of
the questions discussed was as to the effect of salt adminis-
tered with the food. The commission, after long and careful
experiments, rerorts that salt has no beneficial effect what-
ever, but, en the other hand, causes no injury. on the ques-
tion. of digestion, it is decided that horses in full exercise di-
gest their food much more rapidly than when they remain
idle. As regards the mortality of cavalry horses, 11 Is__l(!sued,
that within the last few years it has considerably decreased,
owing to more judicious treatment.
