The broken heads with their spiked barbs, which seem to travel automatically when in contact with the soft nnd moist surfaces of the in ner portions of the mouth, will likely be found accumulated in irritating bunches in the recesses tietween the horse's lips anikthe roots of the teeth, while In some cases the bnrbed head will lie found to have bedded Itself in the tender mucous surfaces nnd pro duced serious irritation and inflamma tion. This state of things should cause one who has a care for the com fort of his horses to exercise the grentest enre to keep this foxtail out of the mangers as completely ns is possible.
