156 HOW TO EDUCATE HORSES. 



MANGE OR ITCH. 



The symptoms are too well known to make any de- 

 scription necessary. Take crystallized carbolic acid, 2 

 oz. to a gal. of soft water, and apply to the parts 

 affected two or three times a day until relieved; or, 

 chloride of zinc pulverized, ^ oz. to a gal. of soft 

 water, and apply as above. 



LICE ON HORSES AND CATTLE. 



The remedy is the same as for mange or itch, only 

 add, say, crystallized carbolic acid i oz. to a gallon of 

 soft water. It will lay them out fearfully and no bad 

 result will occur to the stock. 



BROKEN WIND. 



Causes and symptoms well known. No remedies, 

 seemingly, are of any avail, as far as treatment is con- 

 cerned, unless little to eat at a time. Clothe warmly, 

 etc. All the drugs and their medical properties are 

 of little or no use towards a cure. I know of only 

 one remedy to cure the broken-winded horse — trade 

 him off and get one whose wind is all right. 



ASTHMA OR HEAVES. 



Causes. — Over-exertion, over-eating, taking one cold 

 after another, sweating and cooling off too soon in a 

 draft of air, and various other causes. It is easier for 

 a horse to get the so-called heaves than it is to get 

 him over them. In most cases it is doubtful if horses 

 ever are fully restored to their natural breathing after 

 heaves have seated on the internal organs. However, 

 good care will do a great deal for nature. Good care 

 is known to be the best half.
