:No. 4.] THE HORSE. 127 



than any farmer in the State of Massachusetts dare to have 

 his horse do in the way of expenditure of physical effort, 

 and that horse is always ready to his call. The horses are 

 never fed in that country anywhere near to the standard they 

 are in Wisconsin. 1 do not know how it is in Massachusetts. 



Mr. Russell. They are overfed everywhere except under 

 the circumstances you describe. 



Question. May I ask Mr. Russell if anything is to be 

 done for the heaves? 



Mr. Russell. I have not intended to answer any ques- 

 tions of this character, but as there is no prescription possi- 

 ble to be given in this case, although I think that better 

 authorities are here, I will say there is no cure for the heaves. 



The Chairman. Ladies and gentlemen, the hour has 

 arrived when it is time to bring this meeting to a close. 

 I feel it incumbent upon me to thank you for the close and 

 quiet attention you have given. Hoping you will all come 

 in to-morrow and give like attention, we will adjourn the 

 meeting until half past nine o'clock in the morning.
