In bringing horses or oxen from tho eli
mate of Kentucky and Tennessee TO that
of Louisiana, it is we'll known that the
process of ncclimating must take place,
but this process in the horse appears to be
accomplished without much danger, while
in the OK it is frequently fatal. Why this
should be the case, has not yet been OK.
planned, nor indeed have the causes of tho
difficulty Of nccIimating either yet been
understeods Hence, the methods of treat
ment to effect this object have been various
and capricious, and seldom pcrsevered in
with that steadincss end constancy which
can alone ensure success s~z r.l
An examination Of the ~atterial system
of the OK will, [ conceive, most materially
contribute to instruct us in the predispos.
ing causes Of disease, and consequently,
in the most proper manner Of preventing
and treating it. The average pulse, of the
OK, in a cold climate, is stated to be about
forty* in n minute, and when the rulsa-
tons are more frequent than this, the AMI
NAL is supposed TO be in a state of fever.
This, it is most singular to state, is not the
case in the climate of Louisiana, the pulse
of the OK being there in its natural state.
sixty-eight or seventy-6ye, and rising, on
the slightest excitement, as high as eighty.
What may be the cause of this ipcongrui-
ty of the pulse in different climates, W.
do not pretend to know but such is GER
tainly the fact, and the knowledge of it,
we conceive, will be found Of vast value
TO these who arc e~ndeavoring to improve
the race of cattle in that State.
+, 1t is evident that the system Of an ami,
NAL must undergo a most violent change,
and one which under circumstances the
least exciting, may prove fatal, if it be
taken to a situation which requires that
the hearts action shall be increased more
than one third in a given space If time
it is also evident that any thing which has
a tendency to increase a disposition to
that action should be most carefully avoid
ed, SO that tbe requisite change on the
system may be produced as gradually end
imperceptibly as possible. This increased
action of the heart the system of the OF IS
