PRACTICAL PAPERS—^^THE HORSE. 
301 
There is another subject that should be mentioned, and with 
this I will close these remarks, which I have made with little 
or no previous reflection. I refer to the importance of acquir¬ 
ing a knowledge, as far as possible, ot veterinary science. 
Quack horse doctors are to be let alone with a vengeance. 
Wherever there is an intelligent veterinary surgeon it is best 
to consult him in all important cases. Students in agricultural 
colleges, and others wbo have to do with horses, ought to be 
taught this science.
