HOOF DISTEMPER. 



We are indebted to a gentleman of experience few 

 the following, which hs has found effectual in every 

 instance : 



Symptoms. — Lameness, and breaking out like the 

 scratches, and the fro^ npon exaniinaiicn, wil! ho found 

 affected, which sends forth an unpleas nt ^(nell. 



Cure. — Let the shoes ha taken off, and the iioof 

 shaved dov.'n. th-^'. fvoq; oppned, ^^^i. some spirits of 

 turpentine appheo, and bathod in with a hot sniivei, 

 or other iron : then bind oti a poultice made of a plug 

 of tobacco soaked soft ; wet the same from time to 

 time with tobacco juice, to keep it moist. Physic the 

 animal moderately, and a cure will be effected. 



Another, practiced also with success : — Take of 

 verdigris, spirits of turpentine, bees-wax, one ounce of 

 each, mixed with hog's lard, applied as the above. 



BoTTs AGA.IN. — Although we have given several 

 recipes for this compl&int in precec^ing page?, we are 

 induced to insert the folio wins, communicated by an 

 experienced horse dealer in Oneida county : 



*^ The best remedy, (says the ge'iuleman alluded to 

 above,) I ever tried, when the botts are fastened to the 

 maw or stomach, is to take one quart of milk, 1 quart 

 of molasses, and mix them together; then give it to 

 the horse. Let him stand ten minutes, then ride gen- 

 tly one mile. In thuty or f jrty minutes, give 1 quart 

 of linseed oil; then keep the horse moving two hours, 

 and if he is not easier by thiu time, you may repeat the 

 dose. The botts are fond of this sweet dish, and they 

 fill themselves so full as to become stupid. Then giv- 

 ing the oil as a drench, they are carried off with but 

 little detriment to the horse. I have seen as much as 

 a pint come from Iiim in 24 hours, by the above means. 

 They were still alive. 



REMEDY FOR GLANDERS. 



The same gentleman that communicated the above 

 has also made use of the following : 



*' There is no cure ; hut relief and assistance may 

 be given: Take one gallon of blood, and give the 

 horse a drench, made of one pound salts and a quarter
