The Stable.

The mercifu! man is mrrcul to his beast. lint
horses arc often very numerically treated by their
owners ls generally admitted, but our criticism is
for the most part confined to the cruelty with
which they are overworked and half starved. The
importance Of judcious attention to the stable is
seldom consideIe ed. The lrjutles resulting to the
eyes and feet of horses, from the neglect in this
respect, are almost lncalculabA. Ophihalmia is
ascrlbed in nine OF ten 10 accident, or
some M ste rious "weakness, and there various
absurd theories TO account for diseases oil the hoof
and l. gs; yet we venture 10 say that in majority
of instanc-s these diseases directly or Indirect
Iy induced by the dark and dirty stall 10 which
they are confined.
The eye oi the horse is as tender as tha, Of man.
What wonder is it, then, hat when this noble ami.
NAL is cnoped up for days at a time in "a dungeon,
with a rack full Of dust al his nose, he comes on,
into The glare OF day with eye that cannot bear
the light OF the SUM- or that he starts in alarm al
every uhi"ct before hun A child will do the
same. In strong light TO which the eye is un-
accustomed nothing can be distinctly seen. and
the ina ginarion, whether of the child or the horse,
invests every thing obscure with the myster'ous
and the terrible.
Distinguished veterinary surgeon ascrlbes
those nhamatory diseases of the feet of the horse,
which render SO many fine animals useless for
life, 10 the accumulation Of hot manure5 IN their
stalls, and the cauStIc nature of the ammoniacai
vapor which it rxhales. There can be little doub.
OF this suggestion. The hn"f buried for many days
and nights in rot bed must necessarily suffer
from the heat and Ih- irritation oil the ammonia.
and it would be surprising it they wero not nJur-
ed.
In view Of these obvious considerations,
would urge upon our farming friends. and all 9TH
who keep valuable horses upon their premises.
the importance of giving them plenty of light III
their stables, and of removing from the stalls,
carefully and regularly. the manure that is aP' TO
accumulate under their feet. Let them stand
high, dry. and cool, and let the hoo be frequently
cleaned, SO that the pure air may reach the ten
der surface of thu frog This sort of attention
will certainly pay we'll for the trouble it may cost.
