BY HARVEY RILEY, SUPERINTENDENT OF THE GOVERNMENT CORRAL, WASHINGTON D.C. 1867. There is no more useful or willing animal than the Mule. And perhaps there is no other animal so much abused, or so little cared for. Popular opinion of his nature has not been favorable; and he has had to plod and work through life against the prejudices of the ignorant. Still, he has been the great friend of man, in war and in peace serving him well and faithfully. If he could tell man what he most needed it would be kind treatment. We all know how much can be done to improve the condition and advance the comfort of this animal; and he is a true friend of humanity who does what he can for his benefit. My object in writing this book was to do what I could toward working out a much needed reform in the breeding, care, and treatment of these animals. Let me ask that what I have said in regard to the value of kind treatment be carefully read and followed. I have had thirty years' experience in the use of this animal, and during that time have made his nature a study. The result of that study is, that humanity as well as economy will be best served by kindness. http://www.theebookstore.com/ashop/catalogue.php?product=106 By H. CAULTON REEKS 1906 Stimulated by the reception accorded my 'Common Colics of the Horse,' both in this country and in America, and assured by my publishers that a work on diseases of the foot was needed, I have been led to give to the veterinary profession the present volume. While keeping the size of the book within reasonable limits, no effort has been spared to render it as complete as possible. This has only been achieved by adding to my own experience a great deal of the work of others. To mention individually those who have given me permission to use their writings would be too long a matter here. In every case, however, where the quotation is of any length, the source of my information is given, either in the text or in an accompanying footnote. A few there are who will, perhaps, find themselves quoted without my having first obtained their permission to do so. They, with the others, will, I am sure, accept my hearty thanks. The publishers have been generous in the matter of illustrations and diagrams, and although to the older practitioner some of these may appear superfluous, it is hoped they will serve to render the work an acceptable textbook for the student. http://www.theebookstore.com/ashop/catalogue.php?product=105 SPECIAL REPORT ON DISEASES OF THE HORSE. BY Drs. PEARSON, MICHENER, LAW, HARBAUGH, TRUMBOWER, LIAUTARD, HOLCOMBE, HUIDEKOPER, MOHLER, EICHHORN, HALL, AND ADAMS. REVISED EDITION, 1916. THE EXAMINATION OF A SICK HORSE. By Leonard Pearson, B. S., V. M. D.   In the examination of a sick horse it is important to have a method or system. If a definite plan of examination is followed one may feel reasonably sure, when the examination is finished, that no important point has been overlooked and that the examiner is in a position to arrive at an opinion that is as accurate as is possible for him. Of course, an experienced eye can see, and a trained hand can feel, slight alterations or variations from the normal that are not perceptible to the unskilled observer. A thorough knowledge of the conditions that exist in health is of the highest importance, because it is only by a knowledge of what is right that one can surely detect a wrong condition. A knowledge of anatomy, or of the structure of the body, and of physiology, or the functions and activities of the body, lie at the bottom of accuracy of diagnosis. It is important to remember that animals of different races or families deport themselves differently under the influence of the same disease or pathological process. The sensitive and highly organized thoroughbred resists cerebral depression more than does the lymphatic draft horse. Hence a degree of fever that does not produce marked dullness in a thoroughbred may cause the most abject dejection in a coarsely bred, heavy draft horse. This and similar facts are of vast importance in the diagnosis of disease and in the recognition of its significance. The order of examination, as given hereafter, is one that has proved to be comparatively easy of application and sufficiently thorough for the purpose of the readers of this work, and is recommended by several writers. http://www.theebookstore.com/ashop/catalogue.php?product=104 By Xenophon Translation by H. G. Dakyns  Xenophon the Athenian was born 431 B.C. He was a pupil of Socrates. He marched with the Spartans, and was exiled from Athens. Sparta gave him land and property in Scillus, where he lived for many years before having to move once more, to settle in Corinth. He died in 354 B.C. On Horsemanship advises the reader on how to buy a good horse, and how to raise it to be either a war horse or show horse. Xenophon ends with some words on military equipment for a cavalryman. PREPARER'S NOTE This was typed from Dakyns' series, "The Works of Xenophon," a four-volume set.  http://www.theebookstore.com/ashop/catalogue.php?product=103 http://www.theebookstore.com/ashop/catalogue.php?product=102 We can discover the reasons, warning signs, ways to prevent, and reinforcement training that can help you turn your dog into better friend he is suppose to be. That is exactly what you will get in this book. http://www.theebookstore.com/ashop/prodimg/102.jpg http://www.theebookstore.com/ashop/catalogue.php?product=102 http://www.theebookstore.com/ashop/catalogue.php?product=101 Choosing a PuppyA new dog can bring you years of enjoyment and companionship. But if you and your dog are not well suited to each other's personality and lifestyle, the experience may not be very enjoyable for either of you. Before you bring home that new puppy, consider the needs and expenses involved in responsible pet ownership. Make sure you have the time to feed, groom, exercise and properly train your dog. In addition to high quality food, dogs need veterinary care, grooming, and perhaps boarding and other supplies. You might consider calculating and comparing expense budgets for the dog breeds you are considering. If you have other pets or small children at home, consider how a new dog will fit into your household. http://www.theebookstore.com/ashop/catalogue.php?product=100 While many dog owners want what's best for their dogs, sometimes little thought is given to what we feed them. If we were to believe the TV and magazine advertisements, all we have to do is pour some kibble that we buy at the supermarket in the bowl and make sure they have lots of fresh water. Nothing could be further from the truth. The following report will explain why the commercial dog food we buy is often woefully inadequate to serve the nutritional needs of your dog. http://www.theebookstore.com/ashop/prodimg/100.jpg http://www.theebookstore.com/ashop/catalogue.php?product=100 http://www.theebookstore.com/ashop/catalogue.php?product=99 Backyard bird feeding is a convenient way to enjoy wildlife.
