Stimulating Horses With whisky.

cit has been the custom among cav
airy troops to stimulate the horses
with whisky" said Colonel A. d.
Cate, sand I have always thought
that it was good thing to do. In
fact, I have done it great deal my
self and with seemingly good results,
but / have been reading some reports
of experiments made in Germany,
where the custom has been followed
for long time, and they seemed to
prove that horses so stimulated are
much more apt to die from over ex'
ertion than those that are not treated
in any way. It is a fact that have
noticed myself that horses frequently
become drunkards, the appetite grow
ing until it becomes uncomfortable. F"
