SAND FOR HORSES' BEDS.— Now that straw is so 

 scarce and dear, a suggestion by Mr. Small, veterinary sur- 

 geon, Dundalk, merits notice. lie states that sand is not only 

 an excellent substitute for straw for horses' beds, but superior 

 to straw, as the sand does not heat, and saves the hoofs of the 

 horses. He states that aand is exclusively used for horsfs' 

 beds in his repository.
