 and keep it in place several days. Then cut the stitch and the rectum 

 will usually stay in place. 



LICE 



Lice are more often found on the poll along the mane, and at the 

 base of the tail. The hair gets shaggy, the horse loses flesh and carries 

 a disagreeable odor. 



TREATMENT 



Take the horse away from the barn and curry him removing the hair 

 to a fire. 



Most generally these horses are noticed in warm spring days and if 

 the weather permits they can be washed with any good dip used at the rate 

 of 1 gallon to 30 of water. If the weather is cold Persian insect powder 

 will give good results or melted lard and coal oil mixed may be rubbed 

 over the effected parts.
