2. Mempers.—Place picces of uumbered paper on the various 
regions, such as shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, knee, cannon, fet- 
Jock, pastern and hoof. Require each student to write the name of 
each region and name the corresponding region in his own body. 
3. RELATIVE WeicHt.—Place the front feet on a pair of scales 
and obtain the weight. Then place the hind feet where the front 
ones were, and vice versa. Be careful to have feet as nearly as 
possible in the same place; then weigh. If carefully done, the com-

bined weights should equal the total weight of the horse. It is 
difficult to get this result exactly because of the more or less con- 
stant movement of the head and the internal organs. It will be 
sufficiently accurate, however, to show that a horse supports ap- 
proximately five-ninths of its weight through its front members 
and four-ninths through the hind ones. This is one reason why 
more trouble occurs in the front than in the hind feet.
