To the Editor Of the State Journal:
/ think the above clipping of yesterday
contained some erroneous ideas. Without
any pretensons to scientific requirements,
l will give few observations from expe-
rience. Five years ago l owned very fine
colt that was necessarily kept confined in
a close stable. His knees sprung very bad
ly. gave more exercise, changed his
stall, and began to break him in the spring.
His shoes were made with high swell heels,
and, without linlments of any kind, he i'm
proved, and to-day IS as straight and perfect
as he ever was. could name several similar
cases. If his trouble was owing to consti-
tutional weakness, labor and exercise would
have had different effect. Now sir, let
any man stand for twenty minutes with
his toes on higher ground than his heels,
and he will find it painful. The knees of a
horse thus placed day after day, will be
forced forward, to relieve the tendons of
The leg, and the voluntary crook will soon
become permanent unless the cause is re-
moved. The food has nothing to do with
it. Ineyer saw horse on ground floor,
that had not paved hollow for his fore
feet to rest in. High heels will help a
sprung-kneed steed, but strip Of hard wood
one and half inches thick, nailed across
the floor of the stable, SO that he can put
the heels of his fore feet on it, will be bet
ter, and his appreciation of the comfort
afforded will be shown by always standing
with his heels upon it when not eating.
