EPIDEMIC AMONG HORSES.
PRECAUTIONS URGED. Horses in the oity are 6aid to be stifl" fering from tho disease of strangles, and many besides have colds. Inspector Seed brought up the subject at last night's S.P.C.A. meeting. He eaid that carelesa drivers allowed horses suffering from the disease to drink at the troughs in the streets, thus causing a serious :'isk of infection. In the course of discussion it was asserted that children sometimes drank at the horse troughs. Members urged that the driver of any infected horse should carry a bucket tor tho horse to drini from. It was resolved to write to the City Council on the subject, "The council now has four inspectors of nuisances where (hty had only one," ■raid, a member; "suroly they could sea that these troughs nro kept clean." Mr. Seed said that some of the troughs at present were in a filthy condition. Hβ also remarked that there" wcro very few of thein in the city, and if tho council would set up a few more it would be much better for tho horses.
