Foot Of the Horse.-The foot Of q
horse is one of the most ingenious and
unexampled pieces Of mechanism in
animal structure. The hoof contains q
series Of vertical and thin laminae Of
horn, amounting to about i've hundred
and forming a complete lining to It.
In this are fitted al many laminae be-
longing to the comm bone. while both
sets are elastic and adherent. The
edge Of q quire Of paper, inserted leaf
by leaf into another. will convey a suf-
hcient idea Of the arrangement. Thus
the weight of the animal is supported
by 10 many elastic springs as there are
laminae in all the feet, amounting to
about four thousand, distributed in the
most secure manner. since every
spring is acted on In an obliq1e direc-
tion.--Ex..

Makine tho Horse.

Now is the time to remember that
the colt of the present is to be the
horse a few years hence, and the kind
of a horse he is to be depends largely
upon his treatment now, says Farm,
Stock and Home. Good care, ample
food and judicious exercise are the es-
sentials at this time. BY. ample food
Is not meant overlooking. Some grain
should be fed during the summer, but
not SO much that the little fellow will
be i%ndisposed to eat freely Of grass or
other bulky food, for the latter Is nee
essary to the proper development of his
stomach and digestive organs. Two
pounds of oats a day should be given to
the colt after weaving, and he should
be allowed to learn to eat some even
before weaving. Vary the grain feed
with barley or even corn; and II occa-
sionally ground grain in a thick slop is
given the effect will be good. But this
feeding should be moderate, and not
calculated to develop overmuch fat.
Exercise the colt should have, but that,
too, temporarily. Over-exertion would
be as bad for the colt as no exertion.
It is we'll, also, to begin breaking or
educating the colt at an early age. Sc
cure its confidence by kind treatment
and gentle words, accustom 1t to
strange sights, to sudden noises and
other alarming things. enough to teach
it that they are not dangerous. and
SO begin to develop the mind as we'll az
the body of the horse that you want to
see command a good price later on.
