STABLEs.-As all farmerskeephovs6
they should know how; to lodge ,hen,
and do il well. We propose 10 give
views, Of what should be good sllbe.

cannot endure light, when exposed nl
and he longer the confinement the ga !
ter he inability, but it is equally inpa
tant TO light properly. Many hon
has been blinded by the improper d
mission or light, or lis exclusion. Ifs
window admitting it should not %
placed before the horse. A stream q
light coming in through small aperture
and especially If from The sun, tries ite
eye most severely-the smaller the VH'
dow and the larger the stable the Wofa
the effect. 1.-THE light come in directly
in front, then by contrast the space ts'
fore the horse on which the light da
not fall is dark, and the eye is RENDERED
incapable Of adapting itself TO the taini
light on The place where the light does
not directly fall, by the reason oflbs
contraction Of the pupil. In the drkG
twilight, the pupil is dilated, i1&&
it is contracted, and the more ntense ihe
light, the greater the contraction. Fof
these reasons, the light shoudnOt strike
the eve in front when the horse is IN the
stable. Iflhe window be in front Of tho
horse, be is continually gazing out, ana
thus prevented taking his rest properly
Again, the light should not come 10 from
one side, as one eye is dilated and lla
there contracted. THIS in the end eas
to different capabilities Of the Two sJaa
The light should enter the stable a. ~
rear ofthe horse. In single rowed saoa
this is very easily arranged where y
stable will admit it, by bringing v
light from the opposite side lhs sll.5
but this cannot be done in doubled f0's
stables. Ia such there is but one ViJ%
