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.

* 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.

EXECUTED AT THIS
PROPOSALS

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.

eminently qualified lo give satislaclion, ulld the
Directors can promise that as go and a Table and
as clean and commodious Rooms will be furnish
ed, as are tube had at any watering place in the
United States. 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.

I hereby certify from personal experience, that
the Abbeville Mineral Springs Waters are ex
cellent for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaints. 1
was taken there in the last stages of Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, when given out of all hopes
of living, both by my relations and several Physi
cians who had attended me; I stayed at the
Springs six or seven weeks each year for three
years, and now I am able to attend to the most of
my domestic affairs. 1 consider the Abbeville
Mineral Springs preferable to any of the East
Tennessee Waters, for I had tried them well pre
vious to attending the above said Springs.
