A horse has a very sweet tooth, — when Brown sugar, 



. mixed in Wa- 



he be unwell and wont drink, 7nix molasses ter, win make 



a sick Horse 



or coarse brozvn sugar in the water : he will ^""^ ^^^^^y- 

 then drink freely. 



The best stopping I know to make horses' pi^n\\o'supp?e 



hard Feet, and 



feet grow, or to supple hard leet, which ^ake them 

 are subject to crack, is linseed boiled, and, 

 when moderately cool, applied to the feet. 



I have been informed by an agriculturist oSHStt!' 

 who has written on agriculture, and the 

 feeding of cattle, that the following cheap 

 food will do for all horses, which work in 

 the stages, and draft-horses; — not for mail- 

 coach horses, nor post-chaise horses ; they 

 must be full fed with oats. — Half a peck 



does him no benefit. This plainly proves how great an 

 advantage you gain by cracking the oats: — how 

 wonderful it is, also, that the gastric juices operate 

 only on dead flesh, both in the human body, and in the 

 body of carnivorous animals. If it operated on living 

 flesh, it would destroy the intestines. Jn various 

 works of divine nature, how evidently do we see the 

 hand-workmanship, and wisdom of an omnipotent, all 

 wise, incomprehensible Deity! —
