We fiimish our reHilers this week :t siipplc- niont, piving iniu ll valuable infornia; .in in rc- jfard to the treatment of our inosl valuable domestic uniinaU in ^iekne9s and their proper tnauageincnt in health. A^ our space is limited, of course we cannot give you all we would like to of the largo amount of knowledge which has been obtained by men who have made our iome^tii: animals a study for centuries, but we lave endeavored to give you the very "essence" r. tlicM' few coluinii.s. treating only the most im- lortaiK sulijeet.s, and we think this sheet, if irescrved, will be of more benefit to many of )ur re.ider-i than two dollars would be if in- zested in some books we have seen upon this nubjecf and routing that amount. Our aim in senJiii;; you this supplement is two-fold. First, we wish to benefit our readers by giving them â- nforinatioii through our columns witich will be irorth mure to tlieiii than the money they pay us fur our paper; and we are firmly convinced that I lie many points of practical information that we ill this condensed form give to you on this .-heit will be such information as you will appreciate, .and be of lasting good to many. Secondly, wo wish to benefit ourselves by mak- ing our pajier so v aluablc to you that you will not-^nlv continue to subscribe for it yourself, but ge/your neighbors to send for it also. THE HORSE, Thk most valuable and useful of our domes- tic animals is the hone and his frreat value should induce men to treat him well in health, *8 well as to do all in their power to relieve him when sick an^-if we cared li#thing for the profit derived by taking good care of the horse with which we may be possessed, we should do it for the grand reason that he was created for our servant, and was made mute, not possessing reason, therefore totally unable to do anything to relieve liimscif in sickness. Tht se facta, when carefully considered, should arouse humane feelings in the breast of every per.son who is entrusted with the care of one of these noble animals. The fact that the horse was created mute is •fcne reason why every man should carefully preserve, and ilace in the reach of other men, •11 the reliable knowledge he can obtain in re- gard to the inanagemcnt of horses in sickness, and this is why we give in this supplement several illustrations (which we have the per- mission to use from Dr. Kendall's Treatise on th« Horse advertised in our paper). The illus- trations show the actions of sick horses better than can be taught in any other way. COLIC IN HORSB3. Tliereare two forms of Colic â€" spasmodic and flatulent. 'i"he toriiier is the most frequent, and the symptoms arc familiar to many horse Dwners. Thr engravings below show the posi- ioits assumed in difiereut stages. spasmodically contracted. This syfuptom m'l-d not be treated (as it frequently is), for. a.s soon as the horse is relieved of the colic, he will pass water freely. Therefore, follow the treat- ment wc give below and relieve the colic as -oun as possible.

Causet of Spasmodic Colic arc drinking cold water when in a heated condition, coslivcness, unwholesome food, undue quantity of food, etc. Symptom*. â€" The horse is suddenly attacked with pain, and shows evidence of great distress, shifting his position almost constantly, and ataoUesting a desire to lie down. But in a few minutes these symptoms disappear, and the horse U easy for a short time, when Uiey return with increasing severity, until the horse cannot be kept upon Ms feet.

I Another excellent remedy, which is always at hand, is one heaping tablespoonfiil of salera- tiis mixed with one pint of milk and given at one dose. It would be well to trv the saleratii first. Alvays begin the treatment a* toon as possi- ble. HEAVXS. â€" BROKEN WIND. This disease is readily distinguished by nearly every farmer or any person having much to do witli horses. It is most likely to occur among farmers liorscs. owing to the prevailing habit among this class of feeding large quantities of hay to horses pcssessing a ravenous appetite. Clover hay when fed in large quantities for a long time is quite certain to produce this dis- ease. Heaves are never found in racing stables, where the horses are projicrly fed consequent- ly, it is but reasonable to attribute the cause to overfeeding with hay and coarse feed. ' Treatment. â€" Turning out on natural pastures or feeding laxative food will relieve mild cases but severe cases require much care in feeding and watering. Hay should only be fed at night, and then only a small quantity which is clean and free from clover and dust. The quantity of grain should be increased, and carrots, beets, potatties, or turnips, should be given occasionally. Water should be given only before eating, and not after, as is the usual custom. Do not put the horse to work for at least one or two hours after eating. Wc give a few good recipes in another column for heaves, which, if given in addition to the above care, will usually result in a cure or great relief. BONE SPAVIN Consists in disease of the bones in the lower and inner part of the hock-joint (inflammation, ulceration, and bony deposit). For location, see cut. In neariy all cases of lameness in the bind leg the seat of disease will be found to be in the hock-joint, although many persons (not having had experience) locate the difllculty in the hip, simply because they cannot detect any swelling of the hock- joint but in many of the worst cases there is not seen any swelling or enlargement for a long time, and perhaps never. Cause. â€" The causes of spavins are quite numerous, but usually they are sprains, blows, hard work and, in fact, any cause exciting inflammation of this part of the joint. Hereditarj- predis- position in horses is a frequent cause. Symptoms. â€" The symptoms vary in different cases. In some horses th^ lameness comes on very gradually, while in others, it comes on more rapidly. It is usually five to eight weeks before any enlargement appears. There is marked lameness when the horse starts out, but he usually gets over it after driving a short distance, and u allowed to stand for a while will start lame a^ain. The horse will stand on liither leg in resting in the stable, but when he is resting the Ume leg. he stands on the toe. If the joint becomes consolidated the horse will be stiff in the leg, but may not hare much pain. Treatment. â€" If much heat is found in the spavin, we recommend cold applications to re- duce the inflammation after this has been ac- complished, the treatment should begin. Spavin has been considered incurable in the past, until the discovery of Kendall's Spavin Cure, which is now considered by the best veterinary 8vrge«ns and fta m«rt pniminent horse men in this country to be the most important discovery in the Teterinary science of the nineteentli cen- tvy, and â- â€¢ the far-Cuned remedy is advertised hi ttiis supplement, we' refcr all interested in this subject to the advertisement, as the application of diis remedy would, uadoabtedly, be the best treatment possible after redaciaff the heat.

Canst. â€" I'erhaps one of the most frequent i.anscs is a hard or fast drive against a cnlH. wind, after being taken from a warm, tight, and Bomc BPArnr. rOSITlOX ASSi;«ED IN THE LAST STASZ OP PKELMONIA. poorly ventilated stable, where several horses liavc remained tliroughthe night; or souk dif- ferent alteration and sudden change of heat, cold, or moisture in an animal not accustomed to work, or in one not in proper condition to work. Treatment. â€" The stable should be a com- fortable place not too cold, and yet well venti- lated. ' Give the horse clothing according to the weather, but do not change from a heavy blanket to a light one, nor to one that is damp. Keep the legs warm with bandages. Give twenty-five drops of the tincture of aconite root in a cupful of cold water, and re- peat the dose every few hours, until five or six doses have been given, which will probably cause the horse to perspire freely. Care should be taken not to allow the horse to stand in a draft of air. Do not bleed, as some recommend. After the horse lias taken sufficient tincture of aconite root, as soon as he seems to have an appetite for food, a pint of crushed oats, thoroughly scalded, may be given during the day. Great care should be taken not to allow the horse a large amount of food at one time, which would overload the stomach, and might cause a return of the disease. Little and often must be the rule at first, and then the quantity maybe increased, while the ft-equency is dimin- ished. Do not give any hay for several days. Raw eggs, and other nourishing and stimu- lating articles, may be given, if the horse shows signs of great weakness. The nourishment should be in a concentrated form, and hay and grass should be kept from the hor.sc for a few days, and then given in quantities small at first and gradually increased. The horse will not lie down until improvement ha; takco pUcQ. RINO-BONS. This is ft bony growth on the pastern lionet, as shown in the cut, and usu- ally begiiis in inflammation of the membranes covering the bones at the points giv- ing attachment to ligaments. It is the result, generally, of hereditary predisposition, weakness, or of a peculiar fonnation of the pastern joints, which makes them poorly adapted to hard work.

Chronic Rheumatism. â€" This is^ frequent cause of lameness, and it is oftentimes quite difficult to decide fully as to tlic cause of the lameness. Treatment. â€" For this, form of the disease, we recommend the same powders as given above for acute rheumatisoj. only to be con- tinued a longer time, and to apply tl»c Kendall's Spavin Cure to the afflicted parts. Only a small quantity need be used at a time, but it should be rubbed well down t»-the skin, and continued for several weeks, if it should be necessary to continue so long. The Kendall's Spavin Cure, used twice a day, is also the best external remedy we know of for this disease in man but it should be used for some time, as the disease, when of long standing, cannot be cured in a few days. It may be applied a small quantity at a time, and continued for one to three or four weeks, if necessary, VALUABLE SUOOESTIONB. Health of Horses. â€" To care for the comfort and health of horses should be the first thing to be considered when building or repairing a horse stable. Pure air and sufficient light should be given in all stables when possible. To secure a constant supply of pure air horses require more cubic space than is generally allowed them, both in height of stable and number of square feet of floor allowed each horse. Proper ventilation is a very importanfttem in the gen- eral make-up of the stable. When practicable put windows into the south side of the stable to allow the horses to get the benefit of sunshine. llovi to Feed Horses. â-  â€" The question how to feed horses seems at first thought like one of no importance, but if well considered our read- ers will find it to be one of very great impor- tance. Want of space will preclude our giviifg minute direction. Horses usetl where fast work or travelling on the road is required should not be fed only a small ' quantity of hay in the morning and at noon, with a good allowance f)f grain; but at night a -much larger quantity of hay may be given with less grain than at morn- ing or niJon. The ha^ Tl«6d shOTUd be sweet and dean, never ifivlng musfy of rcry dusty Lay to a horse. Clover hay Is very bad for the horse, being quite liable to cause heaves if fed to any considerable- extent. Horses used about slow work can be allowed a larger amount of hay. One good feed of six qnarta of potatoes once a week, at night, is very raluable. Oats is the grain which is best %d»pted to the wants of the horse under all circumstances. Watering Horses. â€" AU horses are quite liable to drink more alter eating than is required to replenish the waste and, besides this, it has been ascertained that, when water is drank by horses, a large share of it passes directly through the stomach, and on into the large intestines, where no digMtioB t^es place and that, if a horse is allowed to diiak directly THE HORSE AKD after eating, that a portion of the food u car- rfed along with it, which of course eaa then do no good, but liable to do some iigtiry. There- fore we say, always water horses before «Efwi- ing, and you will find they will do bettor, drive better, sweat less, etc., and will drink i^ that nature demands, as soon as they become aecaa- tomed to tliis habit. Signs of InieUigenee in the Harm. â€" The bt^ad, being the location in which the brain is seated, is the best indicator of the disposition. For signs of temper or intelligence, look at the eye and formation of ttie head. Breadth and fullness between the ears and eyes is a sign of intelligence, and, with a pleasant eye, indicates a good disposition. A horse with a rounding nose, tapering narrow forehead, and a broad, ftill place below the eyes, is always treacherotu and misohierous.
