COUGHING .HoRsEs.-It is well know
that feeding horses on clover hay oft r.
makes them cough, but the why and wheff
fore may not be so generally known. Fro
observation l haye become satisfied tn
the manner, of feeding hay to horses isl Il
cause. The usual custom is to let the
draw it through rack, thus ripping
the fine dust which adheres to the stall
which being drawn into tile lungs in res
piration, produces the cough. The cuI
consists in removing the cause-that is. til
racks-and allowing the animals to TAX
their food in their natural way. Ihaver,
moved all OF mine, and now feed my hors'
on the barn floor, aving breastwork su
ficiently high for them to eat over. nth
way they can be fed hay without raising Z
dust, they get none under their feet, al
the labor of cleaning out the mapgers
saved. Whatever is leftis easily pushed o.
with rake into the yard for the cattle. TIL
dust on the hay will do the horses 10 harI
if taken into the stomach. Since maxim

Yet, looking at the very large proportio.
ofthe population embraced in his pursuit,

it over all our affairs, it is a subject of com

themselves, that. their social intcrcours
should be so much restricted.
There is no other cause for thi
