The Ohio Farmer says: Nine tenths
Of the diseases which happen to the
hoofs and ankles of horses are OCCASION
ed by standing en- the dry plank floors
of the stable. Many persons seem to
think, from the way they keep their
horses, that the foot of the horse was
never made for moisture; and that, if
possible, it would be beneficial if they
had cowhide boots to put on every time
they went out. Nature designed the
foot for moist ground-thc earth of the
woods and valleys-at the same time
that covering was given to protect it
from stones aud stumps."
