of its own accord. If not, use a lance to open the 

 swelling and let pus out. 



After this get the colt in good condition. Dur- 

 ing the disease and convalescence, the use of Stock 

 Food will be found strengthening and beneficial, 

 acting as a tonic. 



Speaking of Stock Food, I wish to state that I 

 have fed a great deal of it to horses of all ages and 

 find it beneficial in aiding the digestion and as- 

 similation of food and in strengthening the entire 

 system. It gives horses brighter coats and better 

 appetites. It makes brood-mares and stallions 

 surer foal-getters and, in my opinion, will cause 

 them to produce stronger foals. 



WHEN STALLIONS ARE DULL. 



When stallions are dull and not very anxious 

 to cover mares, give them shorter, quicker jog 

 work and a drachm of mix vomica and a drachm 

 of iron, separately, once or twice a day. 



MASTURBATION. 



When stallions masturbate or abuse themselves 

 give them one or two drachms of gum camphor 

 every day.
