Take juico of garlic six spoonsful, and pour it down 

 the horse's throat by means of a horn or bottle, or giv9 

 it as a drench. If after two or three hours there is 

 no relief, then repeat it. The juice of the leek or on- 

 ion, given in a greater quantity, will produce nearly 

 the same effect, 



COUGH IN HORSKS. 



Haifa pound of nitre, quarter pound of crocus me- 

 tallorum, (black regulus of antimony,) two ounces of 

 antimony : mix well in a mortar, and make it up into 

 doses of one ounce each. Let the horse have one dos© 

 in a-cold ma:sh mixed, every night in mild weather, 

 for three nights ; then omit it for a week. If he does 

 not get better, repeat it. Gare is necessary that the 

 horse should not be exposed while warm, to stand in 

 a cold wind ; otherwise exercise him gently, and heat 

 him as usual. 



TO STOP BLEEDING. 



When an artery of a horse has been cut, and it is 

 found difficult or impossible to stop it, the following, 

 communicated by the First Judge of the county, is a 

 never failing remedy : 



Take a small quantity of yellow dock, bruise it and 

 dry it over a gentle fire, without burning it ; then re- 

 duce it to powder, apply it to the wound, aud bind on 

 some lint securely, and this will prove effectual. 



Paste to stop Bleeding.— Tu.\ie of fresh nettles, one 

 handful, bruise them in a mortar; add blue vitriol, in 

 powder, 4 ounces : wheat flour, 2 ounces ; wine vin- 

 egar, half an ounce ; oil of vitriol, half an ounce, — 

 Beat them all together into a paste. Let the wound 

 be filled up with this paste, and a proper pledget of 

 tow ].•' id over the mouth. It should remain on ten or 

 twelve hours or more. 



PREVENT HORSES BEING TROUBLED 

 WITH FLIES. 



Pour two or three pints of water on a few handsful 

 of walnut leaves, let it infuse one night, and with the 

 liquid anoint all the irritable parts of the horse, and 

 no flies will trouble him where that is applied. ^
