When breeding horses, We left the door Of the

built IL this should be deep loan, or Of a
ciaysy texture, then remove the soil about two
feet deep, and replace IL with sand, OF the finest
gravel TO Be obtained. Colts should also be let
out 10 exercise in yard, or open space. every
day during the winter, when not particularly
stormy; and IN this yard there should not be
older horses, or any horned animals which can
do them injury. Being very playful, they are
more apt TO provoke attacks upon them than
other animals.

Thisis best done by placing q ventilator AZ the

Recollect that pure air is composed Of -
parts Of nitrogen, mixed with p parts Of oxy-
gen, and an indefinitely ANAL quantity Of car
bOnic acid; that this air 10 constantly losing its
oxygen in the process Of breathing, and car
bonic acid is thrown out in its place. An undue
quantity Of carbonic acid in the atmosphere dis
places proPortiOnats quantity Of Oxygen, and
thereby diminishes the healthfll properties Of
