summer Management of Horses.

A member of the Royal College of Vetcr-
mary Surgeons, writing to the Times, exposes
the fallacy Of the popular belief that horse
is benefited by ga months run lie says
that now pastures are beginning to look green,
and the weather promises to become warm,
owners are thinking of giving their horses a
treat by turning them out to grass. " | have
worked my horses hard" say they, and
they need a summers run. 1t will rest their
legs and feet besides, green food is the
natural provender for horses, and they will
enjoy few months rest at grass and be all
the better for it, 1t is all very well for the
young animal, protected by long hair, lengthy
name, and tail, whose time, while young, has
to be got ovef one way or another, and it is
found convenient to let him forage for him
self; but with stale and groggy" horses
requiring rest and whose owners turn them
out with this object, the matter is entirely
different. REST" properly so called, is not
to be had in the pasture. In the simple
process of gathering his food the horse walks
many miles during the twenty-four hours il
the pasture be bare, and the same process,
obliges him to throw extra weight on his
fore legs and feet, which it has been the in
tention Of the owner to crest Besides, in
