The Indian mail to hand brings us
vivid and pathetic details of the
death of Major Carney during the
lion shooting exploit in the Cir forest
district. The major, of course, was
the political officer of the Viceroy,
and the expedition had been arranged
by Lord Harrington on the site of the
lion hunt prepared for Lord Curzon
five years ago, but never fulfilled. It
is believed there are sixty or seventy
lions in the Cir, and the major, having
spent the last couple of years in the
vicinity, knew the Junagadh better
than any one. On March tracker

lion while riding into camp, and

The Broken-Winded Horse
The Cause, and How Ami
NAL Should be Fed.

Broken wind or windy" horses
are becoming very numerous,
chiefly from heredity and breed
ing so many sound mares. Pately
Bridge, the veterinary editor Of
London Farm and Home, thus
presents the condition:
Broken wind is not durable, or
it would not be such comman
thing to see a good class of horse
sold at a ridiculously low price
because of this infirmlty; but it
is quite possible, by judicious
management, to keep the ordins-
~ case going with tolerable com
fort TO the animal and a fair
amount Of satisfaction to the
owner or driver who is not par.
ticularly horse.proud. The first
thing is to appreciate or take into
consideration the nature and
cause Of what is popularity called
broken wind 1t is not a respi-
ratory disease, in the proper ac-
ceptation of the term. but is due,
In the majority of cases, to bad
feeding. Feeding an inordinate
quantity of bulky, innutritious
fodder, particularly badly saved,
moldy or dusty seed hay, Is one
of the mOst common causes OF
broken wind. The class Of horses
most frequently found to be bro
ken -winded are farm horses and
inferior ponies. Both are greedy
feeders, and both belong to class
OF owners VIGOROUSLY nigardly in
their provision OF corn. Thus the
broken. winded horse should be
fed on the best Of food, and Of a
less bulky or moIe concentrated
character than IL generally sup
piled to horses of this class. More
corn and less hay should be given,
and all the food should be free
rom dust and given slightly
dampened, by sprinklIng with salt
and water. The broken Einded
horse should be fed on the little
and-often principle and the daily
allowance Of food divided into q
large number Of small feeds. | he
hours of feeding should be adapt
ed to the hours of work. so that
the horse is not called upon TO la
Dor on a distended stomach. The
largest meal should be given at
night, after the work is over, and
this is the time when the larger
part Of the moderate quantity Of
hay allowed should be fed. Lin
seed and bran should be gwen
occasionally in the form of mash.
Carrots and green.meat are good
for brOken-winded horses, be-
cause they are digestible and
slightly laxative, but too much
green-meat is incompatible with

aimed at in the case Of broken
