The Detroit Free Press tells a
pretty good rat story. A young
and inexperienced fellow ran up a
board which rested on the edge of q
tub half full of water, and while at
tempting to drink, fell in. Of course
he had no chance Of getting out,
which an enormous old and sagacious
rat perceiying, made some frantic eff.
forts to reach aud claw him out.
These having failed, however, be fair

firmly into the board, extended bis
caudal appendage down into the wa.
ter, thus forming a means Of escape
which the rat in the water quickly
availed himself of.

HORSES--STABLES.

4
Most stables are constructed in
direct violation Of every law of ma
ture. They are made to slope from /
the hay rack back to the bells Of the
horse, when ii horse natural posi-
ton is with tie fore feet longest.
The hay rae.l is SO high the horse is
compelled TO re oh up to get the
hay. His natural position while
feeding, is With his head down to
the ground The stalls are SO high
he capnot see his companions, while
he is naturally gregarious and loves
company. In tn. stable he stands
on floor; naturally on the earth.
In his natural wilds, he is a racing
animal; in the stable be is 50 conlin-
ed that he cannot lie down, and
scarcely turn himself.
Is it wonderful, then, that near.
ly every horse is unsound? Stan
ding with the fore feet the highest
throws the weight and the strain on
the heXor tendons, and destroys the
back. Turning the nose unnatural
ly upward, strains the tendons of the
neck whilst he is eating, and is often
the cause of poll evil. High and
separate stalls destroy his natural
social qualities, and make him seur
and morose; and a hard plank floor
on which he is doomed to stand fol
twenty and twenty -four hours lit q
time. will produce ring bone.
Another defect in many stables
is that they are too tight, with {
NOW of hay over them. The am
monia arising from the urine has nj
chance to escape; the horse is con
tinually breathing it; it penetrate'
the hay and he is continually eating
it. How often do we enter stable
in hot weather, when the ammoniaca
air is so pungent that We can scarce
ly breathe it; and yet the horse j!
compelled to stand it, and breathe it
aud eat his food that is completely
saturated with it. Can we wonde
that the horse is subject to unusua
and sudden acute fatal diseasesi Iii
more to be wondered that he live
at all und0 such circumstances. :
Hay sboulleeyer be placed over
stable, so as to receive the ammor
iacal gas; but stables should be vel
tilated above SO as TO let the gas an
foul air escape.
Another errorin the constructio
of stables is the openings for throw
ing out manure and ventilation. |
most stables the openings are f
the two,fcld purposes. In the fir
place, the openings are too low, an
allow the current Of air blow on Il
horse. The effect is the same as
current Of air Cd human being, pr
ducing cold, fever, cough and co
sumption. Norris this all;this current
air, which is ali the good air the hor
has, comes in from the manure hea
and is but adding more poisonous g
to that already existing.
1t is wrong morally, as econon
cally wrong, thus to treat hor
one of the best and noblest of t
brute creation.
