forms scabs. When from scratcMng or in other 

 ways the scabs are removed, the hair will ac- 

 company them leaving the parts nude. The 

 parasite usually first attacks the skin where 

 most exposed from shortness or absence of hair, 

 under the shoulders and thighs, about the hock 

 joints, feet and eyes, are favorite places. It is 

 not long confined to these localities, but rapidly 

 spreads until the entire body is covered, unless 

 checked by some application that will effectu- 

 ally destroy the parasites. 



Follicular Mange though not causing the 

 same amount of itching, is accompanied by a 

 fetid body smell, the pustules sometimes giving 

 out pus. The hair will be left standing firmly 

 in places, while other parts may never again be 

 as full in coat, owing to the hair follicles being 

 destroyed by the parasites. Though this form 

 of mange is not so annoying to the animal as 

 the first-named variety, it does not yield as 

 readily to treatment as Sarcoptic Mange, owing 

 to the parasite being more deeply seated in the 

 former. For the same reason it is not so easily 

 transmitted. 



Treatment. — Many preparations are used in 

 the treatment of mange into which enter largely 

 different forms of mercury, such as corrosive 

 sublimate, red or white precipitate, of the ordi- 

 nary mercurial ointment. The great objections
