FOR LOSS OF THE CUD. 



When cattle loose the cud, they will not mas- 

 ticate their food the second time, as they usually 

 do ; neither will they eat with an appetite. 



Cure. — The quickest and best method is to 

 take half the cud from another creature, and put 

 it warm into the mouth of that which hath lost 

 it ; this remedy is infallible. 



TO CURE WENS. 



Wbns, except those that are stifasts, are easily 

 cured. When they appear to be ripe, put a hair 

 rowel through the middle of them, and put on 

 daily soft soap, 



BROKEN HORNS. 



Cattle, by many accidents, may have their 

 horns broken, and unless proper methods are 

 taken with them, they either loose their horns, or 

 have them grow in a very unnatural manner. 



Cure. — If they are not broken so as to come 

 off from the frith, or even if thev are, I have of- 

 ten cured them, by replacing them quickly, and 

 making use of the following method. — Take a 

 piece of wood and put across the horns to keep 

 them their usual width ; then put another piece 

 in the middle of the former, to rest upon the fore- 

 head, bringing the horns in their natural position : 

 lastly, prepare a bandage two or three yards long, 

 four inches wide, to be dipped in strong pitch, 

 while warm ; when this is cold, it will keep the 

 horn very firm, and being left on for three or four 

 weeks, it will get perfectly well. 



BROKEN LEGS. 



The farther a kg is broken from the joint the 

 belter : fractures in the hip are seldom cured.
