A horse trotting a 2:4O clip strikes,

AS the speed increases the force ex-
pended is also increased. No bands of
steel would stand this strain, and yet
we see horses of fine, small bone, driv-

bones remain smooth and sound. The
strength of these bones in measure
comes from the food given. How all

proportions, and composed of the
proper elements to build up and
strengthen these bones and muscles.
Unless the legs are sound the horse has
but little value, and unsoundness is
often the result Of neglect in feeding
or of improper rations. 1t is no slight
task to build up a complete structure,
yet only as we approach this do we find

year OF 200. or Is per cent. The bulk Of
the increase was found in arrivals from
three countries in central and southern
Europe-Austria Hungary, Poland, Italy
and, in fact, these three countries may be
credited alone with supplying more than
the entire increase noted, as their total
gain over 1880 was 69,OOO, or 1900 mora
than the total net gain. The arrivals of
British immigrants showed heavy falling

Russian immigrants were also more numer-
Gus than in 1888. The total number of
British immigrants was 12O,567, a decrease
from 1889 of Il per cent. The statistics of
arrivals at leading ports show that New
York received 1896, 396, or nearly 81 per cent.

per cent; Baltimore, q, lbs, or per cent,
