69*5 DR. CHASE'S RECIPES. 



It to cleanse the parts and eradicate the worms. If this fails in any case, how- 

 ever, give a drench of linseed oil, 1 pt., with J^ oz. of spirits of turpentine in 

 it, and repeat it the third morning after, if the first dose does not cany them off 

 freely. The same you will see is used as an injection for pin-worms, below. 

 It is safe in either method of using. 



2. For the Pin-Worms that Infest the Eectum.— I cannot see 

 why a solution, weak lye, made with these ashes, and injected, for a few times, 

 will not also eradicate them. Some of these, however, almost always go 

 higher up, to get out of the reach of injections, and after a week or 10 days 

 return to the rectum, when the same shall be repeated, to clear them out en- 

 tirely, no matter whether you use this, or inject the usual remedy; which is 

 linseed oil, 1 pt. , with Ji oz. spirits of turpentine in it, injecting every morning 

 for a week, with the repetition, as above. It is well also, after either of these 

 treatments, to tone up the system with the tonic condition powders, which nevei 

 come amiss, spring and fall, although no special disease may manifest itself. 



Heaves, a Claimed Cur9. — Although this is out of its alphabetical 

 place, as I have tried to arrange the horse recipes, yet as it was given by the 

 same man who gave the ash plan, above, for worms, I will give it here, and 

 although I can hardly expect it to cure the worst heaves, as he claims, it may 

 prove better than I have dared to hope, as the article, blood root, is known to 

 be valuable in coughs and throat difficulties of persons. He says: Get blood 

 root, 3^ lb. , pulverized, and give 1 table-spoonful in the feed, the same as the 

 ashes were to be given for the worms, above, (on the old plan of take 3 and 

 skip 3, till nine are taken), will cure the worst heaves: He says, however, fol- 

 low it up till cured. 



Feeding Stock Horses, and Also Best Rations for Winter 

 Feeding on the Farm. — Although considerable has already been said as to 

 proper care in feeding work -horses especially to avoid colics, etc. ; yet stock 

 horees, nor the plans of general feeding, and especially the winter care of 

 horses, when but little is being done with them, have not been fully considered; 

 and as such matters are known to be better understood by stockmen, I will 

 quote from E. W. Stewart, in the Rural New Yorker, one of the most promi- 

 nent men of that class in our country. See, also, an item taken from his prize 

 essay on "Fattening Catlle," found under that head. Every word from such 

 a man may be considered perfectly reliable and the best thing to " tie to " that 

 can be found upon the subject upon which he is speaking. Upon the impor- 

 tance of the horse as the motive power on the farm, and also |the importance 

 of keeping him in full condition and strength in winter, he says : 



I. " The horse is the principal motive power on the farm, and therefore 

 needs the best attention. This class of stock is kept wholly for its muscle, and 

 the working and culture of the farm must depjend greatly upon the character 

 and condition of the horses. The winter season is one of comparative leisure 

 for horses, as farms are usually managed, and farmers appear to think horses 

 require little attention when they are not in hard labor. They are quite in the 

 habit of keeping them upon poor hay and straw at this season, reserving all 

 grain for spring feeding. But this is very bad policy. Horses generally come 

 to winter qxiarters in thin condition frcim their summer's labor, and "require 

 judicious feeding and good care to recover their full working capacity; and
