To destroy Lice on Colts. — It is well known to every 

 farmer that horses or colts can not thrive well if they are 

 lousy; and it will only be necessary for me to prescribe 

 a remedy that will effectually destroy them. This can 

 be done by washing every part of the horse affected with 

 the vermin, with a strong solution of aloes, and giving 

 him a spoonfull of sulphur for a few days. But it will 

 be necessary to repeat the washing after about four days, 

 and perhaps a third time, in order to destroy those that 

 were not hatched at the first washing. Alum may also 

 be used for this purpose, with good success; and if you 

 could be sure of touching every louse and nit with this 

 last wash, one application would be sufficient; but the 

 thick coat of hair on colts will prevent this. By being 

 thorough with either of the above, you will in a very 

 short time improve his condition, increase his growth, 

 and thereby enhance his value. Then you can dispense 

 with the use of unguentum, which is so poisonous, and 

 the snuff and oil, and the tobacco, which is so weaken- 

 ing and sickening to your animals.
