YTtf. preterit saddle-galls, tlie t shddlesliqi»ld W lined- with some'smootb, hard substance.-
Flnnncl or woollen cloth is bad. A hard, finished, smooth raw hide lining, similar to tliosc of tbe military saddles, is preferable. Then, if the saddle is properly fitted to the horse's back, there will be no galls unless the horse is very hardly used. Galls should be washed with soap and water, and then •with a solution of three gi-ains of copperas or blue vit riol to one tablespoonf ul of water, which will harden the surface, and help to restore the growth of the elfin. White hairs growing upon galled spots cannot be prevented. — " K"ebraska Fui'iner."
