Ngapaba. — As this ailment in your horse is generally accompanied with filth or wet, give him a dry, comfortable stable; wash his legs clean, and dry them, after tho day's work is over; then apply a little carbolised oil, and change his diet. J. D. — It is a laAV in Nature that like produces like, so the problem may be solved by observing Avhich horse the youngster resembles. E. H.
