Many horses are much addicted to this, especially during the night. Some practise it the moment they come off the road. They lie down, harness and all, and roll over from one side to another two or three times, and then rise and shake themselves as if much the better of it, and highly delighted with the feat.* It ippears to do him good, and ought to be permitted when possible, the harness or saddle, however, being previously removed. Some manage it very clumsily. In the morning they are often found in an awkward or painful position, lying across the stall, or on one side of it, with the fore legs bent upon the chest, and the hind legs out of the stall altogether, projecting into the next. The horse can not stir, and must be righted before he can rise. His head must be liberated. By casting ropes or straps, two or three stirrup-leathers buckled together, over his legs, he may be turned over; or he may be drawn away from the travis by pulling at the mane or tail; or, in the same way, he may be drawn entirely out of the stall.

When the horse is lying on his back, it is sufficient to cast a rope or strap across his hind legs, and pull him over.

As long as the horse appears able to take care of himself in his rolling fits, he may be allowed to enjoy them; Out, when he is subject to accident, the rolling must be prevented, at least during the night, when there is no one to render assistance. All risk of injury is avoided by putting the horse in a loose box with his head free. In the stall, rolling may be prevented by a short halter-rein. It should be long enough to let the horse lie down, but so short that he can not get his head flat on the ground. Except in the pains of colic, no horse will roll without getting his head as low as his body.

* When a horse rolls more than once, or at the most twice, after his work, and lies as if he were in pain, paws the ground, or looks at his flanks, expres-sing uneasiness, he is unwell; he has colic, and should be put under imme-diate treatment.

When the manger is too low, this can not be done, for it prevents the horse from reaching the hay-rack. The manger should be raised. This plan interferes in some measure with the horse's rest. If he has to work all day, a wide stall with long travises had better be tried, in preference to shortening the halter-rein. A travis ten, or more than ten feet long, may prevent the hind legs from getting across the next stall, where they are apt to be trampled upon by the neighboring horse.
