III win seem rather singular to those
who are accustomed to litter their horses
seH. to hear that in Sweden it is very
common not to litter them at all. IL

banked, and the planks are perforated
With holes, so that no wet will lodge OF
Hem. these bare boards being the only
Bidding allowed. To this strang'
method the Swedes attribute the sound
lness of their horses feet, as it is quit
uncommon, says an exchange, TO NEE

Remember that horses and cattle
