NEAT OR HORNED CATTLE. 295 



SORE TEATS may be healed by rubbing with goose oil, 

 crcarn, new milk ; or the applications for caked bag. The 

 l:io- and teats should be well cleansed with warm soft water, 

 if to be followed by any ointment. The following applica- 

 tion is recommended by Youatt. One ounce of yellow wax 

 and three of lard ; melt together, arid when cooling, rub in 

 one quarter oz. of sugar of lead, and a drachm of alum finely 

 powdered. 



WARTS are of two kinds ; the first, on the outer skin, may 

 be removed by rubbing with camphorated olive oil. The 

 others penetrate into the flesh, and may be removed by a lig- 

 ature of fine twine, or silk, or india rubber drawn into a string, 

 and tied tightly around the wart, which falls off in a few days. 

 Nitrate of silver, (lunar caustic,) applied to the wart, will 

 remove it, but it produces a sore ; or, apply a strong wash of 

 alum ; rob with the juice of milk weed ; poultice with grated 

 carrot; or cut off the wart with sharp scissors when the cow 

 is dry. It will bleed little and soon heal.
