enlargement cannot deprive the animal
his food since it is not in the least sore
or shows any signs of sensibility on pres
sure. And again, it is we'll ascertained,
that the palate is not i'll the least con-
cerned in the mastication of the food,
the maXlllary teeth and tongue being
the only instruments engaged in the per-
formance of this function.
1t is true that the front teeth and
tongue have to draw the hay out OF tho
rack, and also cut the grass when graz
ing: but this office is SO easily done, that
the horse could do it without any teeth
at all.
1t is not fact, known to every one,
that horned cattle, such as oxen, cows
sheep, &c. draw the forage out of the
rack, and cut their grass, though they
have no front teeth in their upper avs.
We may therefore reasonably onclude,
that this error as well as many others, in
respect OF horses, proceeds, from the
want of knowledge of the different states
and progress of the parts which consti-
tute the animal mac hine together with
the unaccountable obstinacy ofthe stabu-
larian philosophers, the generality of
whom are too ignorant to be convinced,
and no reformation can be expected in
their internal system Of qoackery unless
gentlemen will condesccni with authori-
ty, to abolish custom, Of the impro-
prieiy, of which, the judicious and en-
llghtcned viii agree in opinion for the
operation OF cutting and burning the pa
late with red hot iron, does not only
prevent the animal from eating his food
for some weeks, but is frequently attend
ed with the most serious consequences
by opening OF the falatine artery, which
has bled many horse to deaf Tor want
OF proper assistance. On this account,
therefore, l feel myself perfectly lustif-
ed in recommending most heartily to
every gentleman owning horse or pos
sesSlng the least attachment for their
species, never to suffer that cruel and
barbarous operation to be performed for
he reasons before mentioned; as the
spunging substance of the root of the
mouth is natural to every colt under the
age OF five or six years, and may be al
ways removed as before mentioned. If,
however, the parts are very red, and ve-
ny swollen also, you may just scarify
with the point of large penknIfe, or
prick it with large darning needle.
After this it continues TO fatten, as tho
teeth grow, without any other inconve-
nience to the animal.
These are facts can venture 10 as
sert, both from the experience, as we'll
as practice Of many thousand instances.
| shall now beg leave to close this sub.
ject, by The following remarks, viz.
That the cutting and raising the frog
frou1 the ground 10 keep The foot in
slth--the cutting out the haw of the
eve, to cure inflammation and lock Jaw
and the operation of burning for the
Lampas, under the idea OF curing dis
case THAI never exists, can by 10 meana
DC reconciled to common sense.

CURE FOR FoUNDERED HORSES.
By q Surgical Liberation.


"The operation has succeeded adj
mirabiy, and will probably lead to a
similar practice in the human subject.
1t has hitherto failed frequently in tho
Tic D0ioureNn and other diseases, citizen
from the regeneration of the divided
nerve producing an union and restora-
ton of sensation, or from the effect being
produced by the swelling OF the ends Of
the cut nerve sufficient to effect the
union. But the excelsior of two inches
in length effectually prevents such a re-
s,oration of feeling. Mr.. Sewell, the
well known assistant professor at the
Veterinary College, who has the exciu-
sive claim to this improvement, in the
course OF the last 8 months, performed
this operation on above 100 horses, with
uniform success, except perhaps two or
three cases, in which there was great
organical disease OF the foot. Although
the operation requires the skill Of Mr..
Seweil, it is very simple. 1t consists in
cutting down upon The trunks of tho
nerves which enter the foot in contact
with the arteries, on each side of either
the small or large pastern JOINT, and then
removing piece OF the nerve. A few
minutes after the operation, the animal
walks and trots like a sound horse, which
just before could scarcely move at all,
and then in extreme pain. The princi-
pie is obvious-it is that of removing tho
conductors of sensation from the seat Of
the disease TO the brain. The division Of
the arteries accompanying the nerves is
carefully avoided"

sarily involves the cner making, on
which you have very excellent papers.
From what understand of the making
of cider, it appears that the later the APP
ples hang OH tke trees the more power
full will be the cider; hence the cider OF
France and othe9 temperate countries, is
said to be more powerful than ours our
summer apples, therefore, would not
make good cider for bottling, because of
their quickly arriving at perfection.
The cleaning Of the liquor from the
pumice is the main thing, when good
sound late apples are used. 1t appears
that cider made from sweet apples is
much more apt to abound with pumice,
whilst the acid and ascerb retain their
pumice in the press, hence some very
bad eating apples make excellent cider.
The attention to this subject, i. e. the de-
falcaton, is all important, especially the
first, if well timed and complete, the fu-
ture fermentations will be moderate and
the racking effectual. Blankets have
been used with success 70 get of much
ofthe pumice; they should be spread on
the bottom of flat b sket, and that
placed on the head of the cask. All
strainers will require oftn washing out,
and therefore two or three are necessary,
all of which may be made from one
stout blanket. But an satisfied dat a
few hair sleeves of different fineness, with
the coarsest uppermosi, placed under
the run would separate quantities of
pumice; they would also require shift
ing with a second set, md constant at
tendance TO wash them out the size Of
rain sitters would answer, after these the
blanket strainer would reader the cider
so pure, that the fermentation would be
gently and easily managed, SO that the
first racking and the ishg,ass would
finish the Gning. Yours, &c.

FROM THE VILLAGE RECORD.

Among the various arts which engross
the attention Of men, there are none
more substantially useful than A gricul-
,urc. To It's followers it is the great
source Of independence, and to nation
the only permanent basis ofopulence and
power.
REGARDED in national point of view,
the farmer is unguestionably in the most
useful class of mankind. None but the
vain and superficial can view him with
| contcmpt, and he who estimates thin%s
by their intrinsic worth alone, will place
him in the foremost ranks of our repub-
lican citizens. From the produce of his
lands we derive our support, and the
very existence Ct society depends upon
his Iabors.
Bat independent of his usefulness, be-
side his, there is no emp oyment that has
ever engaged the attention OF mankind
more exempt from bewildering perplexi-
y or care, none which affords SO eminent
an opportunity for enjoying the solid
pleasures Of sublunary existence.

Free from the smoke and pestilentiaI
air ola crowded city; he is also free from
the coatagion Of its vices. Pampered by
no delicacies, his health is firm; ener-
waited by no luxuries, his mind is vigor-
Gus and active. Unaccustomed to range
beyond his native hills, and domiciled to
the soil which feeds him, he becomes
closely attached to the" land ofhis home,"
and loves his country with the zeal Of a
patriot.
Before him the charms of nature are
every where displayed, for his delight
and instruction, and he enjoys the beau
ties of the several seasons with the relish
of a poet. With what an eye of virtuous
pride does he look upon his fields of
waving grain, and with what emotions of
gratitude does he behold in his abundant
crops, the rich reward of his labors. His
state approaches that Of the noble sim
