MOTHS IN CAREIAGES. 



It is non-use which induces moths. The cushions, &c.. should be 

 often exposed to air, and brushed. Sprinkling with camphor-water 

 is recommended, and putting bits of camphor in the cushions and 

 linings. But especially take care that the coach-house be free from 

 all lumber, and let the house be frequently whitewashed, with 

 sulphur mixed in the wash. 



DISEASES. 



ALBUMINUEIA. 



Administer night and morning in a bran mash a drachm of finely- 

 powdered sulphate of iron. 



ALOES. 



The proper dose for a horse is 5drs. 



ALTEEATR'E POWDER. 



No. 1. — Equal parts of nitre, sulphur, and cream of tartar, and 

 one half part of black antimony, and the same of powdered ginger, 

 well mixed together, and kept rammed down tight in a jar, and a 

 table-spoonful given once a week in a feed of mash. If the anti- 

 mony is added it must be used with caution as it opens the pores, 

 and renders the animal susceptible of cold, and should therefore be 

 only added in warm weather, or when specialh^ required to act upon 

 the skin, upon which the effects are soon visible ; and indeed it is 

 well not to give the powder at all before or after very hard work. 



No. 2. — Take of Barbadoes aloes l^oz., sulphur 3oz., ginger -^-oz., 

 linseed meal ^oz., mix the meal with boiling water, and add the 

 other ingredients. Then make into six or eight balls. 



No. 3. — Give ^oz. liquor arsenicalis daily over a feed of corn. 



No. 4. — Give -Jdr. calomel and ^dr. of tartar emetic. 



BAD FEEDEE. 



Give the horse three hours walking exercise every day, viz., two 

 hours in the mornmg and one in the evening. If he does not take 

 his feed remove it at once. Horses from grass will often eat hay 

 and corn damped and sprinkled with salt, when they will not eat 

 either in their ordinary state. Take care also that the stable is not 

 too warm, which often is the cause of horses from grass losing their 

 appetites. 



White sugar improves the appetite. Horses are very fond of it.
