TABLES 



Tub following Tables may be so often useful to the classes ai 

 persons for whom this work is intended, that it has been thought 

 expedient to give them a place. 



The list of medicines embraces such as ought to be kept con- 

 stantly on hand, not only in every training and livery stable, but 

 by every farmer and breeder who aspires to good management, and 

 to deserve the praise of all men who happen to visit his establish- 

 ment, and who know, as the French say, what is comme il faut. 

 Some other medicines might well be added, but it is thought best 

 not to leave any excuse to the indolent and improvident to say tnat 

 too much is required — but we will begin with
