This little book is founded on a reasoned experi ence of many years as a veterinarian.

All is elucidated in such a way, that no one need plead ignorance as to the duties of grooms and the requirements of the stable, — the quantity and quality of food the horse requires, and how to prepare it, together with the effects which may be expected.
