WHAT 1T COsTs.-There are about nine mill
lions OF horses in the United States vaIued at
six hundred and six millions of dollars If but
one per cent. OF these should be carried off by
the prevalent disease, making 90, 900 horses, il
would entail direct money loss OF sc, 600; OCO-
Two per cent, or two deaths out of every hun.
bred, would bring loss of over S13 900 Co., and
three per cent, which is the mortality in some
cities sWels the loss to nearly 500 900 900. This
Is in addition to the heavy loss OF the daily
earnings OF the vast proportion of the horses
that are disabled and cannot work. Such figures
may have their uses in some quarters not vet |
reached by the disease. Humanity should be
the only stimulus required in order to ensure |
the Use OF such preventive measures a. better |
treatment, less labor, cleaner stables &c, but
the money side OF the case nav reach some
people who seldom look at any other.
