For The Moomfleld Timet.
A Horse's I'lilse and its Indications.
Tho condition or the pulse is a consid
eration of the utmost importance to tho
veterinary practitioner. In most diseases
lie has no other means equally ns good
of determining tho actual stato ot his pa
tient's system, and there is nothing which
will guide him so well in forming his
opinion in regard to tho necessity of
bleeding. There can bo no considerable
excitement of the system, from exercise,
intense emotion, or disease, without caus
iug a corresponding increased action of
tho heart. This is ascertained by the
pulse, and tho presence of disease is thus
readily detected. The pulse may be dis
covered and counted in several places on
the horse's body, but nowhere is it so eas
ily found as upon the underside of tho
lower jaw-bone. Here the sub-maxillary
artery passes over tho edge of tho
bone, and feels like a small cord under
the skin. Jy pressing the fingers upon
it steadily, tho pulsations may bo felt
pushing their way along at tho rate of
about thirty-five to forty-five per minute,
in tho farm horse. One great advantage
of resorting to the suu-maxillary artery
to find the pulse is this : that the pressure
upon the hard bone beneath enables ono
to determine, not only tho rapidity of the
pulse, but also its strength and other
characteristics. Fifty beats to the min
ute, when tho horse is not laboring un
der muscular or nervous agitation, consti
tutes a diseased pulse, and seventy or
eighty betrays a most fearful state of ex
citement. Such is the case iu blind
staggers. In inflamation of the lungs
and bowels, seventy boats per minuto is
about the maximum attained in the great
majority of cases. In health the pulsa
tions are slow and soft, making an im
pression that is readily recognized when
the pressure of the finger is applied, but
not hard and tense, by any means. l)ut
as fever and inflamation come on, tho
vein becomes more turgid, the blood be
comes more heated, the action of the
heart is lightened, and the pulse increas
ed in proportion. It is sometimes tho
case that the blood is thick when there is
but very littlo fever ; but the amount of
the latter is always indicated by the
quickness of the pulse. Tho quick,
throbbing pulse speaks of inflamation
somewhere ; tho bard pulse of some
chronic or long standing disease Some
times we find the pulse to present both of
these conditions simultaneously, and then
the case is an alarming one, calling for
prompt and vigorous measures, or death
will probably remove the necessity of fur
ther efforts. Besides the terms employed
above, there are others in general use
among horsemen, to distinguish the vari
ous kinds of pulsation recognizable un
der tho influence of disease. Tho hard
pulse is that in which the beats give evi
dence of powerful or over action of the
heart, but without much disturbance of
the circulation otherwise. In tho wiry
pulse they appear small, ns to volume,
but hard and jerking, causing great irri
tability in the region of the heart, so
that the ventricles act too Boon,beforo the
veins are properly filled. Immodiato dan
ger does not lurk behind this, but advances
with it boldly, defiantly, and with rapid
strides, indeed it betokens acute inflama
tion, especially of tho bowels, or some
times of the urinary organs. The op
pressed pulse exists when tho arteries are
too full or overloaded with blood, thrown
out from the heart, but returning to it
with difficulty. Inflamation of the lungs or
a sudden and violent attack of pneumouia
is generally the cause of this phenome
non, and in this case, bleeding, if not
carried to excess, will actually increase
the strength of the pulsations instead of
weakening them ; it will be a proper re
course in all the conditions of the pulse
thus far enumerated. Not so, however,
in the case of the weak pulse, for here
there is debility and exhaustion, and the
heart beats but feebly, while the blood is
poor and thin, us well as defieient in
quantity. Such accompanies all diseases
that tend to prostrate the system, aud at
Other times may indicate the very near
approach of doath. Some persons bleed
for every ailment, and others not at all.
There must be discrimination in this, as
in every thing else. When the horse is
well, it is absolute folly and cruelty to
bleed, and we should let woll enough
alone, liut when the veins aro turgid
with blood, and the pulse under tho stiui
ulous of fever aud inflamation, is hard,
wiry, or oppressed, the practitioner who
endeavor to cure the horse by means of
medication only, generally finds himself
entirely at fault, and meets with no suc
cess. For the more convenient reference
of the reader, I will here recapitulate
tho various states of the pulse in diseases,
with the general indications of each, and
instructions concerning blooding.
Quick, throbbing pulse, iu inflamation,
bleed freely; hard pulse, feverish excite
ment, bleed freely ; full, eorded pulso,
chronic or long stuuding disease bleed
moderately, two or tlireo times, about ten
days apart ; small, wiry pulse usually in
dicates inflamation of tlio bowels bleed
copiously ; oppressed pulse generally indi
cates innuuiution of tlio lungs, bleed pro
fusely; weak pulse, debility do not bleed
at all. Several things are to be taken
into account in forming an opinion as to
the frequency of tho pulse, which will
bo made tho subject of another article.
Seasoning Wood.
Small pieces of non-resinous wood may
be perfectly seasoned by boiling four or
five hours. Sash-frames of Spanish chest
nut "have been wedged up" within six
weeks of tho tree beingfelled, which have
stood to admiration. The boiling seems
to take tho sap out of tho wood, which
shrinks nearly 1-10 in the process. It is
also woll worth knowing that trees felled
whilst in lull leaf in Juno or July, and
allowed to lie with their tops and lops on
till every leaf has fallen, aro then very
nearly dry, as tho loaves will not drop off
themselves till they have drawn up and
exhausted all tho sap in tho tree. Tho
timo required is from a month to six
weeks, according as tho weather is dry
or moist. Trees so treated will never
push again, or show leaves, as the stocks
of winter-felled timber almost invariably
do if allowed to lie, and thus prove that
they have lost that vitality which tho
latter retains.
The floor of a mill laid with poplar so
treated and cut up and put in place in
less than a month after tho leaves fell,
has never shown tho slighest symptom of
shrinkage or other indication ot not being
perfectly seasoned.
