CORN MOTHS. See Grain 

 Weevils. 



C R N S A L A D . Fedia olitoria . 

 Lamb lettuce. It is a mucilaginous, 

 pleasant herb, esteemed for the early 

 period it is found in market. Sow 

 the seed in drills six inches apart ; 

 weed carefully. The seeds are small 

 and light ; one pound serves for a 

 quarter of an acre. They are sown in 

 August or September, on clean, rich 

 land, covered with straw during cold 

 weather, and brought out at the ear- 

 liest period in spring. It might be 

 advantageously cultivated for soiling, 

 either sown late for spring or very 

 early for summer ; or it may be rais- 

 ed as a summer salad by sowing in 

 March. 



CORN-SHELLER. See Sheller. 



CORNEA. The transparent mem- 

 brane in front of the eye. Any opa- 

 city injures vision ; it should be care- 

 fully treated bv bleeding and blisters. 



CORNS, IN HORSES' FEET. 

 This disease is produced by some hard 

 substance pressing on the sole at the 

 quarters, as from shoes left on till the 

 heels become buried in the hoof ; the 



fibrous substance which lies betwee^ 

 the sensible foot and the absolute 

 horny hoof becomes inflamed by the 

 [)ressure, and the inflammation pro- 

 duces a hardness of the spot, similar, 

 if I may so express it, to a knot in a 

 piece of soft timber. Palliate the evil 

 as well as you can by keeping the 

 hoof constantly pared away between 

 the corn and the ground, but do not 

 wound in your vain endeavours to cut 

 it out ; avoid the hot irons, &c. ; let 

 a bit of sponge be softly put in, mere- 

 ly to keep out gravel and keep the 

 spot moist ; and when the season ar 

 rives, turn the horse out without any 

 shoes into a soft, marshy place, 

 where his feet must be in a constant 

 moist state for three months at least ; 

 by that time the hoof will be altogeth- 

 er renewed, the diseased part will 

 have grown out, and if there is no 

 new^ injury, there will be no new 

 corns. — {E. Maunsell.) 



COROLLA. The coloured part of 

 flowers, usually. If there be no green 

 calyx, the coloured envelope is called 

 a perianthium. The corolla is either 

 in one piece, or monopclalous, or in 

 many, polypetalous. The leaflets or 

 parts are also called petals. Many 

 natural families are easily determined 

 by the figure of the corolla, as the 

 Convolvulaceae, Salviaceaj, Rosaceee, 

 &c. See Botany. 



CORONET BONE. The second 

 of the consolidated phalanges of the 

 horse's foot. 



CORROSIVE SUBLIMATE. A 

 white crystalline salt, the chloride of 

 mercury. It is a fearful poison, one 

 to three grains producing death. The 

 antidote is, abundance of white of egg 

 given internally. A weak solution is 

 occasionally used to destroy vermin 

 and preserve wood, but it is too dan- 

 gerous to be trifled with. 



CORRUGATE. To wrinkle. The 

 folds on the skin of some animals are 

 called corrugations. 



CORTICAL (from cortex, the 

 hark). Relating to the bark. 



CORUNDUM. A class of extreme- 

 ly hard crystalline minerals, compo- 

 sed of nearly pure alumina, as the 

 sapphire, ruby, and emery,
