tho contour of a colossal hand, held
open, with tho thumb and finger close
together. Its greatest length is twelve

Curing For Jlorwe.
When a horse refuses to drink, and
coughs after swallowing a little, it in
dicates sore throat or swelling of tho
glands of the neck. It is one of the
symptoms of distemper, which is prev
alent at this season. Give the horse a
warm bran mash, with one drachm of
chlorate of potash in it daily for a week
or ten days. Thero ia nothing serious
to bo apprehended.
For a horse which ia weak in tho
knees, rub the limbs briskly with a
woolen cloth, then bathe with salt and
water, wipe dry and apply a mixture of
ono pint of alcohol and one drachm of
tincture of Spanish ily, rubbing in a
tablcBpoonful twice a day with tho
hand. Let the horse run in a loose
stall, deeply littered with sawdust or
dry swamp muck, or on an earth floor
Skunk's oil, beef brine and other trash
of tho kind aro useless.
A horse can be fed on grain and bran
if he is not overfed. These foods are
concentrated and need to be given with
caution. Cotton-seed meal is not a
safe food, but tho whole seed if quite
free from lint may be given in modera
tion. Some coarse fodder is desirable if
it can be procured, and a supply should
be grown either of millet, corn fodder
or pea vines, and cut when in blossom
and cured for hay. If a little rough
ness is given, six pounds of bran and
tho same of somo kind of grain, and
two pounds of whole, clean cotton-seed,
would make sufficient food for a
thousand-pound horse. Five pounds
of hay daily given with this grain
would be quite sufficient.
Green food in tho summer is often
the cause of serious indigestion with
its common results colic and rupture
of the stomach, which is inevitably
fatal. Such foot! should never be given
wet or heated by fermentation after
cutting, or in excessive quantity, nor
when a horse is weary. Clover or rye
should be cut after the dew is off and
before the heat of the day and spread
in the shade to wilt, or in the afternoon
and left to wilt until the next day. A
sprinkling of Halt will tend to avoid
trouble with such food, as it prevents
fermentation.
Water should always be given boforo
feeding, and never immediately after
ward. Colic is often produced by co
pious watering soon after eating, and
also by watering when the animal is
hot and weary from woik. The stomach
being chilled is for the time incapable
of digesting any food. Light feeding
is to bo given during hard or rapid
work, and the full feed is only given
after sufficient rest. Overfeeding is
to be specially avoided, and regularity
is very important. Ono twelve-quart
pailful of cut hay and four pounds of
meal to a full feed for a thousand
pound horse, given twice a day, with
an equivalent feeding between of oats
or corn and long hry. Orchard grass
hay, cut just at tho blossoming, is ex
cellent for horses. Ripe timothy is the
next best, and corn blades, pulled
green and well cured, make as good
feed as any. Dusty or moldy food is
to bo specially avoided, not only for
its effect on tho digestive organs, but
for its evil results on the respiratory
functions. Idleness is conductive to
indigestion, and during tho present
season particularly, horses should be
turned out several hours for exorcise
every day.
The shrinkage of the muscles of the
shoulder, and which is commonly
called "sweeny," is due to some lame
ness of tho foot or limb, which induces
the horse to favor tho shoulder and
throw the muscles out of use. The in
action causes the muscles to decrease
in substance, anddhe shoulder flatten
or becomes hollowed. Tho remedy for
this disfigurement is to relieve tho
lameness and rcstoro the shoulder to
proper activity. Tho seat of the trouble
may bo in tho shoulder, which may
have been sprained. If this is the case
pressures with tho knuckles on tho
shoulder will show it ; if not, it will
most probably bo found in the foot or
the pastern joint. Navicular disease
is tho most frequent cause of this
shrinking of tho shoulder muscles.
This dieeaso is indicated by tho animal
pointing the Ue of tho foot forward,
and by going lamo at starting and soon
recovering. Driving fast down hill is
the usual cause of trouble with the
slioulder by injury to the joint or to
tho feet.

RATION A'. EXERCISE.
fCttlm anil l'rlnrilr fur the (ittrrrinnrnt of
TIumc liulitlclni; 111 It.
There l an important fart concern
ing exercise which is familiar to tlio
physician, but not understood aa it
ought to be by the non-professional
folk. It is a popular error, that tho
aim of exercise is solely or mainly to
work the muscles or the organ that ia
put in action. Tliisia. indeed, important
in itself for obvious reasons; but there
Is another purpose in exercise, and that
is to stimulate the "faculty of recupera
tion," aa it has been called. Whether
it is a faculty in the strict sense of the
term, as those who believe that nutri
tion is uuiler the control of a special
system of nerves would call it, does not
matter. No ono will misunderstand
tho meaning of tho expression aa we
use it here.
Unaccustomed feats of strength,
whether of muscle or of mind, are "ex
hausting," wo say: ami this is due to
deficiency or want of vigor in this
faculty. The work has been performed,
but the recuperative nutrition does not
promptly follow. The part which has
been exceptionally exercised has suf
fered loss which is not immediately
made good. It has been equal to the
demand inado upon it; but. if the
demand is soon repeated, there is not
the same ability to meet it. There is a
great difference in person in this re
spect, as every one knows; but it is not
r I ways a difference in absolute strength.
Of two men of equal muscular power,
one may be able to "hold out" in a
given exercise or kind of work much
longer than the other. The one,
for example, can perhaps walk
ten miles without exhaustion,
whilo the other get.s completely tired
out with two miles; or the one, aftei
walking ten miles and then resting an
hour, can statt oil' and walk another
live miles or more without fatigue:
while the other can not renew the etfort
for the rot of tho day. In this lattei
case we sometimes say that ono man
has more "elasticity" of strength than
tho other and the metaphor is an apt
one. lie lias suffered a certain strain,
but, like a highly elastic substance, re
turns readily to the normal condition
when the strain lias ceased.
Now. the difference botween being
accustomed to work "without feeling
it." and being "used up" by it, and
tho difference between the prompt and
the slow rallying from fatigue, is the
difference between the power of rapid
repair by nutrition, and tho absence or
deficiency of that power; and the aim of
exercise is to develop or strengthen the
power. What amount or degree of exer
cise w ill bivt accomplish this result? It
is a common mistake to do too much.
People suppose that the more they can
do before getting exhausted the better,
and so they persist in tho exercise until
they are thoroughly exhausted. But
exercise with a view to gaining the
power of recuperation should never be,
carried so far as to exhaust the nervous J
energy. No marked feeling of fatigue
should be produced. If exhaustion isl
o-cperieneetl, the exercise has been ex
cessive, and defeats its purpose.
In athletic "training" this prineiplo
U invariably reeogni.ed. The ambi
tious youth who is eager to exercise
overmuch, from his impatient desire to
gain strength and outdo others, is ad
monished to limit himself to the pre
cise amount of exercise directed; and
this amount is gradually increased as
he. becomes able to go through it with
out extreme fatigue. And tho man who
is his own "trainer" should bo governed
by tho siiine principle. lie should be
gin with a moderate amount of work
continued for a brief period, and be
guided iu tho inereaso of exercise by
the readiness with which ho recovers
from tho fatigue, and regains the power
of comfortably renewing tho effort.
Tho common mistake is iu seeing how
much one can do before getting ex
hausted; the aim should rather be to
see how much one can do and yot rally
from it after a brief interval. And this
recuperative power must bo tho genuino
recovery duo to rust, and plain, nutri
tious foo l, not the delusive renewal of
vigor which follows tlm use of stimu
lants. If a man finds it necessary to
resort to stimulant after work or exor
cise, that very fact shows that ho ha
kept up tho exertion too long.
If the principle wo havo attempted to
explain were kept iu mind and followed
in practieo by those who desire to gain
strength by exercise, there would bo
fewer failure than generally attend tno
unintelligent endeavor iu thai direction.
