I may say the same of human beings, many of whom live all their lives in rooms which are white-washed, without their sight being hurt by the sup- posed glare, which in almost all cases, would be that of diffused, not direct sunlight. \Ve should also hear in mind that the eyes of the horse, by the ' As sunlight has a good effect on horses, he should secure a sunny as- pect for the stable and have it well lighted by windows. When the horses are at work, it is a great advantage to be able to open out the stable, so that it may be disinfected by sun- light as well as by fresh air. In our desire for sunlight we must not obtain it at the temperature of the stable. which we would do by having the roof made more or less of glass. In the; case of animals which, like race horses, do their work in the morn- ing and will want a rest in the mid- die of the day, it is advisable to have an arrangement for darkening the boxes or stalls, while shutting out the fresh air as little as possible. ’â€" a writer in the London Live Stock . Journal. As the amount of air : breathed in by the horses may be as- - sumed to be constant, it is evident that the smaller the quantity of air in a stable, the quicker will it have to be renewed in order to preserve a healthy standard of purity; in other words, the greater the draught. Supposing that a stall was six feet. wide, 10 feet long, and 10 feet high, it would contain COO cubic feet of space. To this wef might add two-thirds more for pass»: ages, etc., and would thus arrive at a total of 1,003 cubic feet, which would; probably be a fair minimum. I do not! think that less space than that would; afford a healthy place of residence for: horses; and even then, every precaution 1‘ should be taken to obtain free ventila- tion. If a box consisted of a single 10 1-2 feet, would be a reasonable ,average; although the addition of a icoup-le of feet to the height would be an improvement. I do not think that 2,500 cubic feet. say 14, feet x 15 feet x 12 feet, need be exceeded, even for high-class horses. It goes almost with- . out saying, that the more confined the situation, the greater should be the cubic contents. 1 J A stable should not only be roomy, ;so as to afford the horses a comfort~ able abode, but should also be fairly lofty, in order that it may contain a comparatively large volume of air; be- cause in that case, it will be easier to maintain the purity of the air inside, without the necessity of creating a draught, than it would be if the cubic contents of the building were less, says COMFORTABLE STABLES. nurse wmle: he is in the puld be injurious to his I have never known or a horse suffering from .A nâ€"-â€"â€"â€" "' 1th impunity.
