Faults of Modern Stables.

Some Of the most glaring faults Of
modern stables are herein described,
together with a few hints regarding
their correction.
Lack of proper ventilation is the first
in the category. and where many
horses are kept this violation of n.y.
gienic laws is the most noticeable
Smartins eyes ana various other dis
agreeable experiences soon drive away
visitors from most livery stables. as
we'll Is many private ones. The
horses eye is very delicate organ
How. then, can ie be expected that his
vision will remain unimpared if he be
compelled t. remain many hours out of
the twcnty-four in an atmosphere
strongly impregnatcd with the fumes
of ammonia and other foul and dis
agreeable odors? Fresh air. and
plenty of it. is essential to the health
and welfare Of the horse.
Small windows should be replaced by
large ones. and these should be kept
open or partially 50. night and day
at all seasons, Al least sufficiently to
insure good ventilation.
Doors should be sufficiently wide and
high to enable large horses to enter
bones or the poll Down at the him
or the bone Of on chip fractured, is a
not uncommon consequence Of too
| narrow doors. while many accidents
| occur from doors that are too low.
Whenever practicable, partitions be-
tween stalls should be removed. thus
converting them into box-stalls. Many

naturally, gathers his food from the
ground. In a box-stall natural in
clinations can be partially initiated TO
advantage. whereas the old-fashioned,
| narrow stall precludes such a sensible
arrangement.
llay-lofts over the stalls are in every
way Objectionable. The effiuvia of the
stable communicates the hay; more or
| less dust Sits through the cracks and
knot-holes and through the opening
above the hayrack. and ventilation is
| also much impaired.
Foreleg over the halter, head under
the manager, standing with forefeet in
the manger, lying in the gangway
with head outstretched and rigid from
the halter strap, sleeping standing
through fear of lying down, these are
some of the evils that are obviated by
the adoption of hte box stall.
