DOG POETRY.

DOG POETR Y
iAfew days since we published
very fine piece Of poetry, embodying
u noble sentiment, contributed to the
New York Evening Post, entitled,
"The Uuder Dog in the fight" A
correspondent of the Boston Post
perpetrates the following clever paro-
dy on this poem:
To the Upper Dog in the Fight.
BY JOHN SMITH.
The world likes success, and the mighty great
world
The peasant kicks, and caresses the king:
don't care a dime what other men say,
This is the song to sing.
The world gives applause to the man who
succeeds,
And awards him honor and place;
So let us fill to the brim and shout with
strong lungs
To the rider that wins the race
The world hates the fool, the sniveling fool,
Who scars but falls in his flight;
And talk as we please, we all hurrah
To the uppermost dog in the fight
What right hasa dog, the great world says,
To allow himself under at all;
He disgraces his race and deserves to be
kicked
To permit himself meanly to fall.
1t might appease the great world, the might!
great world,
And keep everything well balanced and
right,
Were there no upper dog and no under dog,
Could both equal be in the fight.
But for me, will shout with the strength Of
my lungs
Nor for cavilirg fools viii stop,
For the dog of success, that glorious dog,
Who looks sharp TO keep upon top.

The Outside Dog in the Fight.

I'VE have had the under and the
upper dogs, and now somebody gives
US the out side dog in the fight:
You may prate of your upper and bottom dog
And blow an alarming sight,
But as I've found the safest dog
Is the outside dog in the fight
He never desires to be counted in,
Thus showing an instinct bright;
He saves his grinders for polishing bonea
Does the outside dog in the fight
Mr. Heenan may try as long as be likes
To damage his foeman's sight,
But the pleasant position of looking on
Has the outside dog in the fight.
Utterly needless is he in the strife,
The might prevail or the right;
The appetite's good and tranquil the life
OF the outside dog in the fight.
When danger threatens, the rapid way
That he runs is refreshing quite;
And simply evinces the sound good sense
Of the outside dog in the fight.
Then here's to the health and happy days,
Luck send him abundance of prog,
And drink to the hero of private life,
a health to the outside dos

Horses Too well Fed.


The following remarks Of a skill.
lul practitioner and close observer
are worthy of attention. DR.. Dadd
has been, however, more uniformly
fortunate in the horses which have
passed before his eyes than some
others. Houses are often overfed
with grain, but we never knew one to
cat too much hay or grass when it
WAS Supplied regularly. They are
rarely attacked with disease when
little or no grain is given them, or il
gwen, when supplied in small and
regular quantities. The most fire.
quent causes of disease are high
and irregular feeding, hard and irreg-
uiar working, and exposure and wa
ter when warm by exercise. = Country
Gentleman.
A great proportion of our horses
are too we'll fed-o obtain more food
than tbey-require. In this land of
plenty most of our valuable horses
are overfed, and more especially
does This happen among animals own
ed by wealthy and liberal individuals
The impression which we wish to
convey to the mind Of the reader is
that the food of such is not proper
toned to labor--in other words,
there exists dispropertion between
the amount of carbon taken in the
form of food and the oxygen received
In the pocess Of respiration. Now
10 illustrate this, We viii suppose
that a man engaged in mercantile
pursuits owns one or more horses; he
has no. the time nor the inclination
TO give the one or the other the nee
<essary amount Of exercise; they
stand up to a full crib from day tC
day, enjoying or rather gorging
themselves with Ger: ain amount o
fodder over and above what they &C
tually require, and much more thar
they really need; the surplus is Of
ten stored up in tie form of fat, aut
this induces acute diseases, and thej
die Of too much food and care. i
Is very rare that we have occasion
to recommend man TO feed BIZ
horse more literally, bot almost al
ways the reverse. Starvation is sai(
to be the cause Of many equine dis
eases, but so far as our experience
goes such cases are in this country
very rare. We conceive the tern
starvation to be libel upon civilizs
ten, end 30 infrequent is its applcs
ton among a nation of husbandmel
that il il omitted in our dlctlouarie
A map on barren rock or a horse
10 the deserts Of Arabia might prob
ably starve, but the idea. of the lat
ter starving in the vicinity Of q vel
stocked barn or stable-witbin strik
ing distance Of land Of plenty
seems to US very absurd conclusion
There ore enough Of horses to b
found dressed up in the garb 0
starvation, having tight skins, prom
inent ribs, and cadaverous counte
nance, living, yet half dead. Blu
they know nothing Of the 'famin
in Egypt they get enough, but to-
much of the same kind.

KICKING Cows.--I had heller
that kicked badly. CURED her in
few weeks by the following method:
take up the right fore foot, doubling
the knee as closely as possible; then
slip strap over the knee, and put
a small stick through the hollow of
the joint below the strap, to prevent
it slipping eff. When having the
use of but three legs, she has enough
to do to stand without kicking.

Al evening, just before supper, he calls bis
