 most induced to believe it species of Chnle- ra. It is infecting horses, cows. oxen. sheep, and even the feathered t:ibe. It is d species of putrid sore throat or cankcr rash, eating off the roots of inc tongue, and furning it black, at the same time dseasing the glands of the throat. Cleanliness of racks and managers should be preserved. and as preventive. salt is said to he excellent. A piece of gum assa fGtida placed in each manager, and another fastened in the water bucket, are indispensa- ble to the health of animals about these times. Another preventive used in large stables in this town, is putting composii"n of tar and camphor on a piece of cloth and winding 1t round the bits. Fine salt thrown into the mouth and sulphur scattered in the manager occasionally are useful.-Northamp. Cour.
