How to Tasten Horses.

Many good horses devour large guam
titles of grain and hay, and still contin-
ue thin and poor the food eaten in not
properly assimilated. If the usnal feed
has been unRronnd gr in and hay, Moth
ing hut a change will affect any ,lesira-
alteration in the appeara .e of the ami
NAL. In case oil meal cannot he OBJ
tniusd readily, mingle bushel of flax-
seed with a bushel Of barley, one o. oats
and another of Indian corn, and let it be
ground into fine meal. This will be "a
fair proportion for all his feed. Or the
rncal of the barley, oats. and corn in
equal quantities, may first be procured,
and Cne-fonrth part of oil cake mingled
up with it when the meal is sprinkled
on c 1t feed.
Feed two or three quarts of the mix
tur" two or three times dali ', mingled
with peek of cut hay and straw. II the
horse will ca; that greedily let the guam
tity be grsdn4lly increased, until he
will ent four or six quarts at every fesd-
ing, three times day. But avoid rhe
prsctiae Of allowing the horse to stand at
rack well filled with hay. Ia ~rder to
fntten horse that has 'un down in
flesh, the groom should he very pRrticu-
lar tn fsnd The animal 10 more than he
will sat up clean, and then lick his man
ger for more.

As Eve years are requiref fer the som-
plstion of the bons structufs 9hs horse
II is important that he be. csrefuliy used
until ti.st age. 1fhe is esrlyoverwork-,
ed the ligsinents which uuits his one
hundred and thirty bones are prevented
from becoming sufficiently fixeSfo the
frame, and be ir dwarfed, and wsars out
or dies long before reaching ths full
twenty five years which should be the
average duration OF his love and vigor.
The muscles of a fine horse ought to be
thick and very long; thickness lnsures
strength, and length an extsnded sweep
oflimb.
Prsperly constructed harnessis as es-
sential to the comfort of horse as easy
clothes are necessary 10 the comfort ofa
man. If hsrnessis net well fitted to the
form, the veins are compressed, circula-
tion is retarded and disease ensues.-
When in motion, the horse eSulstes his
centre OF gravity by using his head and
neck. The check rein is therefore inhu-
man and injurious.
\
his head is held in vertical position,
the gravity is thrown too far ba- k, and
be advances with difficulty. TIE ears
may be called indicos of Eorss's mind.
Intelligent animals prick up their ears
when spoken to; vicious ones throw
their ears back. A blind horse directs
one ear forward and one backward, and
in deaf horse the ears are without en-
preston.
The ears of the best horses are short
and wide apar.; the eyes are well open,
and the forehead is broad. A broad
forehead indicates good brain. The Arab
says: "Ths horse must have the fiat
forehead and the courage Of Il bull" The
horse breathes by his nose and not by
his mouth; hence the nostrils Should be
freely. Dealers enlarge the nsstrils of
horses by artificial means, The mouth
OF young horse is round; IN age it be-
comes narrow and elongated. J.E
The Arab snys. speaking of his horsAA:
"The first seven years are for my young
htOthctt INV bO4b sSsci iOA @h&
last for my enemy"
A horse has only one juguIar vsia; 3
man has three. Tue MithersAcan never
he too high. The higher they are the
ep sier the animal travels. The loins
should be short, the chest square, and
the shoulders well developed. The ve-
terinary surgeon who said, mo foot, no
horse was perfectly correct. The hoof
is curious and complicated Rechan-
ism; an elastic box, which expands and
contracts as the horse raises or puts
down the foot. Skoeirg should be done
with care and SIX I'll, or the natural form
of the hoof is destroyed. Above all, go
noble an animal should be treated with
the greatest kindness, and no pal ms be
spared to make his bonds as easy to
wear be.

1t appears from the document sent to
the Senate Monday last by the Presi-
dent, that OH tho 29tb of january, 1870,
Minister Bassstt, in Hayti, addressed a
letter to the commander of any United
States ship. of-war at or near Samana, in
which he said that under instructions
from the Government at Washington,
be had warned the existing Government
of Hayti not to interfere in any manner
in the Internal affairs Of the Republic of
Dominica.
Rear Admiral Posf fnformsi Presi
dent sagst, under--dass, Port ga Prince,
February 10, 1870, Of the arrival Of the
Severn, accompanied by the monitor
Dictator, and; announced b., him, under
instructions from the Government of the
United States, thst negotiations were
then panding between the United States
Goysrnasnt and that of DominicR, and
and that during the sxistencs of this ne
gotiation, the United States Government
was determined, with all its power, 10
prevent any intel ference on the part Of
the Haytisns or any other power with
tians or any other power with the Do
ininican Government. Any interference
or attack, therefore, by vessels under
the Hsytian or any other flag upon the
Dominicsns during tho pendency OF
said negotiations, will be considered an
act of hostility to the nag Of the United
States, and will provoke hostility in re-
turn.
The Hayiian Government. through its
Foreign Secretary, on the 18th of Febru-
sry, in a letter addressed to Minister
Ba4sptt, said his Government was re-
solved to abstain from all interference
in the internal affairs of the Dominican
Republic, and in formal manner had
instructed its agents, home and abroad
to act in conformity with this resolutions
and it had not failed to give similar in
structions to its Consuls at Kingston and
Curac oa.
