Remarkable Acuteness Of Smell

We have heard a perfectly authenti-

little girl could, at the age OF four. dis

after the papers were perfectly dry.
The experiment was often made by

BrittIeness of the Hoof.

A hard hoof is desirable rather than
otherwise, as the foot will not wear 80
much when the horse goes unshod in
the summer; but it tends to become
brittle and break away under the strain
of the shoe nails. II the hOOf is brit.

breaking can easily be prevented by
keeping the boots dressed with a MKT

and around the walls into soft powder.
this indicates disease of the horn in

interior OF the foot. and often follows
an attack OF founder Qaminitis, or
fever of the feet). This should be
treated by the use Of cooling lax
alive, as a pound OF epson salts and
bran mashes for food for a time; the
feet should be poulticed with linseed
meal until all heat about them is re-
moved. and then dr. ssed daily with
the vaseline and glycerine mixture.
This condition of the feet is frequently
produced by the horse standing in soft
manure, which rOts the horns and
