Eggs are sometimes given to stallions in the travelling season, for exciting desire, and to other horses for producing a smooth coat. They are quite useless for either purpose, at least as they are given, only one or two at a time. If they are to do any good the horse would need a dozen of them, or thereabouts, I should think. One or two, however, can have no good effect. The egg is chipped, starred, as they call it, all round, and given raw, like a ball.

Several, many horses have been lost by the egg sticking in the throat, and producing suffocation. If eggs must be given, let them be broken and mixed with a mash, or boiled hard and added to the grain. But I see no need for them in any shape.
