seed naashes, scalded oats and bran, or grass, if in 

 season. If the costiveness is not relieved by the 

 laxative diets, give an injection of a quart of warm 

 water three times a day. In addition to the laxa- 

 tive diet there may be given apples, carrots, or 

 two or three gallons of sweet milk with a couple 

 of eggs broken in it may be given each day if the 

 horse desires it. Never force the animal to take 

 nourishment; remove all food from trough or man- 

 ger and try him with nice, clean laxative food later.

 lameness. If your horse is a habitual "kicker" and 

 one that kicks when he receives his food, the best 

 preventative for the above subject is to pad his 

 stall, but notwithstanding all precautions, hocks 

 will be capped in the future as in the past.

 weeks, then allow it to remain for a week, and if 

 by that time the thickening of the growth fails 

 to diminish and there seems to be a fluid of a 

 purulent character in it, open it very carefully from 

 below, with a small instrument, and after the fluid 

 has run out, inject ten to fifteen drops of CURINE 

 diluted with four times the amount of water. In-

The bottle of Curine ordered from you some time 

 ago has done the work. It discounts all other prep- 

 arations that I ever saw, and I would not be with- 

 out it if it cost $10 per bottle. A. E. RODGERS,
