As long as we can remember, the ques-
ton as to the best foors for horse-stabies
has been discussed. We have tried clay
and ordinary dirt, but they did not prove
satisfactory Holes would be dug almost
daily BY the forefeet, the urine would
gather there. and unless great care Was TAX

soil dali, and wash the horses feet, scratches
would follow. and probably what is com
monty called quarter-crack result. which Is
likely permanently to injure the animals
Sand and even saxdust have been recon-
mended. but As they were clearly not de-
sirable We never tried either. We began
with plank flooring. were dissuaded from
using it. but have returned 20 il and found
il preferable TO the others. We prefer hem
