CONCERNING cows and steers, the form
of the feet Is an indication Of the nature Of
the place in which the animal has been
reared. In stony regions the hooi grows
round and wears away; the contrary, in
soft, moist and marshy districts the boots
lengthen and flstten ont, and the same
effect is produced by confinement to the
stable. The round hoof is very desirable
quality. Continued stall feeding renders
the feet so tender that after some years the
animal can take no exercise, nor even CON-
fortably travel over the pasture. The foo.
grows long and thick, and the creature Is
entirely untitled fG work or for driving to
any distance.
