SLABBRRrNG HoRsEs.-An experien-
sed correspondent OF the Prairie Eat
mel gives his ideas as to the q OF
slabbering in horses, which differs from
the theories advanced by many veteri-
narians.. We give an extract from has
communications, as, follows.
see in your paper diverse theories,
more or less plausible, in regard to the
cause Of horses slabbering. Some say
it is the seed Of clover; some say it is
some acid weed-some -one thing and
some another.
Now, { have very good reasons to
believe that in fact it is none OF these,
but a little black, extremely acid IN
sect. visible to the naked eye, which is
some years bred in clever heads BY the
million, and some years not. 1t viii
usually be found in the clever heads,
if at all, while it is in full bloom, Or
lust after that time !; and possibly it May
sometimes breed in other grasses also.
Hence ascrop that has these little in
sects in it will always SLAYER horses if
thew eat it. But If the same crop is
cut before they have matured, or after
they have gone out of II, Of course. will
not SLAYER them.
The reason why this insect makes
horses SLAYER q readily be known by
any one who will once taste Of them
himself. i know tl.B not 30 much
from personal observation, as from old
farmers, who have often shook these
insects out of their clover heads, aud
tested il themselves.
