they are grown up, says an expert
horseman. Injuries and blemishes are
like the leaves on trees; they incre ase
in size as the body increases. 1t is an
undisputed fact that the condition OF
the feet of horse is more or less af-
fected by the condition of the ground
on which the feet are treated in any
kind of soil. If they are kept con-
fined to stables and compelled tc
stand continually upon hard plank
floors, the feet will be more or less
injured by it; or if they are constantly
kept on soft, loamy ground the feet
will be soft and spongy. and in about
as bad condition as if bruised up by
being stabbed continually.-Sk Louis
