AGRICULTURAL. I CRUELTY TO HORSES. THE HAWS AND THE LAMPAS. March 17th, 1841. The present communication will consist of a word or two in behalf of the horse.— Although he is acknowledged on all hands to be far the most useful of all the brute creation ever yet domesticated by man, I believe it may truly be said, that none are so cruel and barbarously treated as the horse. Hardships and bodily sufferings ex cruciating in degree, and utterly useless to ourselves, arc often most wantonly inflicted on him. 110 is frequently deprived of his oars and tail, by an excessively painful op eration, merely to gratify a most preposte rous, absurd, and inhuman fashion ; he is often killed or crippled in our selfish and sinful struggles to win each other’s money by racing, or in working him far beyond his powers to increase our wealth, or in the idle, ridiculous amusement of moving our precious persons from place to place with more rapidity than any of our senseless ri vals in the same sport have ever done be fore. Rut still more brutal than all, after the faithful animal has entirely worn out and exhausted, in his ungrateful master’s service, all the energies which nature had given him, and is no longer capable of any kind of work whatever, be is turned adrift, to die ofold age and starvation! Would not those who act thus brutally to horses, treat their fellow men in the same way, if public sentiment had not stamped such conduct towards human beings with the in delliblc stigma of utter detestation and ab horrence ? The foregoing are all cases of undenia ble, enormous barbarity, which, however shocking to our humanity, are no! to be cu red citiier by persuasion or reproof; for the perpetrators, generally, are persons far be yond the reach of any moral appliances whatever. But there arc some instances wherein the horse is cruelly treated, not from design, nor mere disregard to his wants and well-being, but from sheer igno ranee. The most remarkable of these in stances is, the quack-remedy for two dis eases to which the horse is liable. These are the “hates,” vulgarly but improperly called “ hooks,” (for ihere is no such word in any scientific book of farriery,) and the “lampas.” The first takes its name from the “ haw,” of which the following account is given in that excellent treatise on the horse, published by the English Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. YVe have, (says the author,) a provis ion for supplying the eye with the requisite moisture, and for washing from offtlie tran sparent part of it insects or dust which may annoy the animal. YVhat becomes of these impurities when thus washed off? Are they carried by the tears to the corner of the eye, and so pass down this duct, and irritate and obstruct it ; or do they accu mulate at the inner angle of the eye?— There is a beautiful contrivance for dispo sing of them as fast they enter the eye.— Concealed within the inner corner of the eve, or only the margin of it, black or pied, visible is a triangular shaped cartilage, the haw, with its broad part before. It is con cave within, exactly to suit the globe of the eye; and it is convex without, accurately to adapt itself to the membrane lining the lid ; and the base of it is reduced to a thin or almost sharp edge. At the will of the animal, this is suddenly protruded from its hiding place, passes rapidly over the eye, and shovels up every nuisance mixed with the tears, and then, being spe edily drawn hack, the dust or insect is wiped off as the cartilage again passes under the corner of the eye. “ How is this managed ? This cartilage has no muscle attached to it, and the limbs, and the different parts of the body, when put into motion by the influence of the will, are moved invariably by muscles. The mechanism is simple and effectual. There is a great mass of fat at the back of the eye, and the eye may be easily moved ; and this fat is particularly accumulated about the inner corner of the eye, and beneath, and at the point of this cartilage. The eyeofthe horse has likewise very strong muscles at tached to it, and one peculiar to quadrupeds, of extraordinary power, and by whose aid, if the animal lias not hands to ward off a danger that threatens, he is at least enabled to draw the eye buck almost out of the reach of that danger. “Dust, or gravel, or insects, shall have entered the eye, and annoy the horse.— This peculiar muscle suddenly acts. The eye is forcibly drawn back, and presses up the fatty matter. That may be displaced, but cannot be squeezed into less compass. It is forced violently towards the inner cor ner of the eye, and it drives before it the haw; and the haw having likewise some fat about the point of it, and being placed between the eye and an exceedingly smooth and polished hone, and being pressed upon by the eye as it is violently drawn hack, shoots out with the rapidity of lightning, and guided by the eyelids, projects over the eye, and thus carries oft’the offending mat ter. In what way shall we draw the haw back without muscular action ? Another prin ciple is called into play, of which we have already spoken, and of which we shall have much to say—elasticity, it is that princi ple by which a body yields to a certain force impressed upon it, and returns to its former state as soon as that force is remo ved. It is that by which the ligament of the nock, while it supports the head, ena bles the horse to graze, by which the heart expands after closing on and propelling for ward the blood in its ventricles, by which the artery contracts on the blood that has : r. : 1 it. an 1 I y 'H<-lt many oft! most important functions of life arc mfluen- ‘ oed or governed. This muscle ceases to act. The eye resumes its natural situa tion in the orbit. There is room for the fatty matter to return to its place, and it immediately returns by the elasticity of the membrane by which it is connected, and the return is as rapid as the projection. “ The old farmer strangely misunderstood the nature and design of the haw,and many of the present day do not seem to he much better informed. When from sympathy with other parts of the eye laboring under inflamation, and becoming itself inflamed, and increased in bulk, and the neighboring parts likewise thickened, it was either forced out of its place, or voluntarily pro truded to defend the eye from the action of the light, and could not return, they mis took it for some injurious excrescence or tu mor, and proceeded to cut it out. The “haw in the eyes” is a disease well known to the majority of grooms, and this sad remedy for it is deemed the only cure. It is a barba rous practice ; and if they were compelled to walk half-a-dozen miles in a thick dust and without being permitted to wipe or to cleanse the eye, they would feel the torture to which they doom this noble animal, when afterwards employed in their service. A little patience having been exercised and a few cooling applications made to the eye whiie the inflamation lasted,and afterwards some mild astringent ones, and other pro per means employed, the tumor would have disappeared, the haw would have returned to its place and the animal would have discharged the duties required of him, without inconvenience to himself, instead of tiie agony to which an unguarded and unprotected eye must frequently expose him. “ The loss of blood occasioned by the cutting out of the haw may frequently re lieve the inflamation of the eye; and the evident amendment which follows, induces those wise men to believe that they have performed an excellent operation ; but the same loss cf blood by scarification of the overloaded vessel of the conjunctiva,* would be equally benelici.',!, and the ani mal would not be deprived of an instru- admirable use to him.” Os the lampas, and its proper treatment, the highly valuable work just quoted gives the following account. “ Some of the lower bars, (in the upper jaw of the horse’s mouth,) occasionally swell, and rise to a level with, and even beyond the edge of the teeth, and they are very sore, and the horse feeds badly on ac count of the pain he suffers from the pres sure of that food on the bars. This is called the lampas ; and it may arise from inflamation of the gums, propagated to the bars, when the horse is shedding his teeth ; (and young horses are more subject to it than others); or from some slight febrile tendency in the constitution generally, as when a young horse has lately been over fed, or not sufficiently exercised. “ In the majority of cases the swelling will soon subside without medical treatment; or a few mashes and gentle alteratives, will relieve the animal. A few slight cuts across the bars with a lancet or penknife, & taking care to avoid the principal artery,f and vein of the palate, will relieve the infla mation, and cause the swelling to subside; indeed, this scarification of the bars, will seldom do harm, although it is far from be ing so necessary as is supposed. To the brutal custom of the farrier, who sears and burns down the bars with a red hot iron, we do most peremptorily object. It is tortu ring the horse to no purpose ; and it is ren dering that part callous, on the delicate sensibility of which all the pleasure and safety of riding and driving depend. It may he prudent in case of lampas, to exam ine the grinders, and more particularly the tushes, to see whether either of them is en deavoring to make its way through the gum. If with the gum lancet, or penknife, two in cisions across each other be made on the tooth, the horse will experience immediate relief.” And now, Mr. Editor, before I conclude, suffer me most earnestly to recommend the study of the volume from which I have nuoted so largely, to all persons who may be desirous to become acquainted with the anatom v of the horse—with the various diseases to which he is subject, and with the proper meti'todsoftreatingthem. Even if they consult only profit to the utter disre gard ofhumanity in tits management of their horses, they will find no work of its size, I believe, which contains any thing like the same amount of information, bosh scientific and practical, in >-egard to all they may wish to know of the subjects up pon which it treats. Moreover, it is very entertaining as well as instructive, for the first part of it contains many interesting anecdotes of celebrated English horses, and their extraordinary performances. James M. Garnett. * The conjunctiva is that membrane which lines the lids, and covers the fore part of the eye. fThis vein is along the centre of the upper jaw, and the artery on each side, about mid-way be tween that and t he rows of teeth.

May 6, 1841. 36 wm misriiifs* EXECUTED AT THIS PROPOSALS l ull PUBLISHING BY SUBSCUIPTION A FULL REPORT OF THE GEOLOGICAL & AGKICOLI ORAL SURVEY OF THF rpUL Legislature, at their last session, deem -I- ed it expedient to discontinue the salary of iiie State Geologist, in consequence of the em barrassed finances of the State. By this unex pected movement, the subscriber is deprived of the means of completing the survey of tiie State, on the original plan: it done at ull, it must be at individual risk and expense. It isncedless, perhaps, to represent to ihe en lightened citizens of Georgia, that by following out the plan so happily commenced in 1837, and pursued with unremitting energy to the present, the State lias been contributing her mite, hum ble as it may be on the pan ol her agent, to the cause of general science m our country, and the advancement of intellectual improvement among Her citizens, in accordance with other States ol the Union. There is but one alternative. In the present situation of the survey, the work must either be abandoned and the important informa tion obtained by four years investigation of the Geology of the State, lost to her citizens, or the subscriber must depend tor support, oil individ ual patronage, lie is determined to make an ef fort for the benefit and honor of his adopted State, to proceed with the survey From former ex perience ol the unbounded liberality and gene rous hospitality of Ins fellow citizens, in differ ent parts of the State, he is confident that, in making an appeal to their sympathy and patron age, it will not be made m vain. That a complete survey may be made of the re maining counties of the State, and the whole consolidated and published for the information and benefit of the citizens, public patronage is most respectiully solicited. A work of this kind, is much needed m Georgia, a State comprising an area of sixty thousand square miles, being destitute of a single correct Map, Geography, or history ot the same. A majority of the citizens must, from necessity, be unacquainted with the rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci ties of the different sections. Favored as the subscriber has been, by four years labor, as State Geologist, in different parts of the Slate, in collecting materials for a complete report of an Agricultural and Geological survey and Na tural History, he trusts that he shall be able to meet the approbation of his fellow citizens. The subscriber pledges his honor, that the proceeds ,iris! ni { from subscription for the work shall be appropriated to the completion of the survey of the remaining counties of the State, and that they shall be finished as they will he needed for publication.

These SPRINGS are situated in a healthy and romantic region in the North- Western corner of Abbeville District, near the Anderson line, and the place is as perfec* ly ex empted from autumnal levers as any place in our Mountains. The waters are confidently believ ed to be equal to any in the United States, in all cases of chronic disease of the liver and other glands, and of chronic inflammation in any part of the system; in cases of dyspepsia and sick head-ache they have been singularly efficacious, huvitlg invariably given relief whenever ade quately tried. In tiiese cases they may be al most considered a specific, as well as in diseases of the skin and urinary organs. A HACK vv.ll be regularly run during the Season from Abbe ville C. 11., which is 24 miles distant, to carry passengers corning to that place in the Siage. BY THE DIRECTORS. I hereby certify from personal observation, that the water of the Abbeville Mineral Springs is singularly serviceable in all cases of chronic inflammation and glandular obstructions. It does not appear to possess any highly stimulating or direct tonic properties, but imparts tone to the whole system indirectly by its wonderful effect in wearing out inflammation, and in correcting the secretions of all the glands of the body. A few Summers ago, I sent a patient to the Springs laboring under chronic gastretis, which I found very difficult to treat to advantage, and to my sur prise the case was speedily cured by the use of the water alone. Subsequently to the above case, I sent another patient to the Springs who was reduced very low by uterine obstruction and chronic inflammation, with a pulse up to about 120 beats in a minute; she was soon entirely restored to health, by a light diet and the use of the water without any Medicine whatever.
