In ciri'.'g wood short, after it is carted home, a saw should 

 be used ; as this makes a great saving of the wood, and is

WOUNDS. Mr. Bartlet directs, where Horses or other 

 cattle rective any large wound, the first step is to sow it 

 up, if u be in such part of the body as will admit of this ; 

 for in some parts the wound will be drawn open by the 

 lyi? d iw ;, or rising, of the animal. Where the wound is 

 de< , let the stitches be proportionately deep, so as to bring 

 the lower parts of it together. The stitches may be half an 

 inch or more apart. 



If an artery has been opened, let it be secured by pass- 

 ing a crooked needle underneath and tying it up. If this 

 cannot be done, apply a button of lint or tow, diped in a 

 strong solution of b.ue vitriol, close to the mouth of the 

 bleeding vessel and be careful that it be kept there, by a 

 proper compress and bandage, till an eschar is formed. 



T ' lips of the wound being brought together by the 

 netdle or bandage, it needs only to be covered with rags 

 dip d in brandy. Where the blood of the animal is, how- 

 ever, in a bad state, which may soon be known by the aspect 

 of the wound, and its not healing, the blood should be rec- 

 tified by internal medicines. The wounded part should be 

 kept as free from motion as possible. 



All wounds oi the joints, tendons, and membraneous 

 parts should be dressed with terebinthine medicines, to 

 which may be added honey, and the tincture of myrrh. All 

 greasy applications should be avoided. Fomentations and 

 poultices are also of great use here.
