White Legs, Feet, and Biaxe in Horses. 



^' n L. S." writes to the Stock Journal : 

 \J, As the season is ai)proaching for 

 the holding of the horse shows at the 

 Agricultural Hall, I am desirous of draw-

 and I am astonished to find that it is not 

 more generally known — that where

 and on his second visit hinted to me that
