Prevention Of Cruelty to Horses
"A BaulkY Horse.

<1 ouUANS AVASS.
The diseases of the horse are not
yet thoroughly understood. Mankind
have acquired the habit Of accepting
words without insisting that tho ideas
of such terms depressed should be
strictly defined. No word is more
common than Clubbing" or "baulk-
ing" Thus q horse which is unable to
start is called a "jibber" or a." baulky
horse" a very high authority on the
management Of the horse, (Mayhew)
in writing upon this disease, says:
Jibbing of every kind appears to
be no vice, but a nervous disorder-a
sort Of equine epilepsy. A word spo'
ken sharply can summon the attack,
which generally deprives the animal
of all power OF motion, or forces it to
move in direction the opposite ofthe
road on which it wishes to proceed.
The movements are independent Of
the will, and any person will atten.
lively inspect the counteqsnce OF the
horse when in the act Of "jibbing"
or "baulking," the author imagincs
the real character Of the supposed
twice" must be recognized. When
"jibbing" is exhibited, a spasmodic
fit has possession Of the frame. 1t 10
useless to fog or inAict other fortunes.
The attack will last certain time,
aud then perhaps sudden vanish. No
brutality can shorten its duration,
though cruelty, perhaps, may lengthen
the copvulsion. On such occasions,
however serious, cruelties arc com
monty perpetrated; but severity has
lost it's power to quicken ti,nidity.
The lush has ceased to influence, while
the human voice, though sent forth in
volumes and exerted in bittercst exc
crations, no longer is invested with
the attributes Of authority. The body
is acted upon by o power higher than
A." mortal sway" THE eyeis strained
inward the teeth arc firmly set; the
nostrils are dilated; the breathing
is spasmodic, and the muscles are
rigid"
MODE OF CURE.
Do not whip or jog the reins; re-
linquish both. Order those within the
vehicle immediately to dismount.
Uudo tho bcaring.rcin; loosen the
harness. Ifpossible, remove the quad
ruped from the shafts.
Go to tho head speak soothingly;
pat and carcss tho agitated frame.
Procure some cold water; soak u
thick cloth in the liquid and lay it
over the brain and upon the eyes
Sponge out the mouth and nostrils;
then empty the vessel by dashinS the
remainder in the animals face.
When the incapacitating stage is
subsiding, have ready two powerful
men, who, placed at the head, shall
prevent the disposition to bolt from
being INDUCED. This done, return
tho horse to the stable.
Never hazard riding behind crea-
ture which has recently been afflicted
with equine epilepsy.
