SADDLE GALLS are sores produced by the saddle or by any other part 

 of the harness. 



Treatment. — The cause should be removed by attending to the saddle or 

 other part of the harness, and adjusting it so as to remove the pressure. 

 Kendall's Spavin Cure is used with excellent success for all such sores by 

 applying a .small quantity twice a day. If the Kendall's Spavin Cure can 

 not be obtained, get at a drug store laudanum two ounces, tannin two 

 drachms, and mix and apply twice a day. 



SCRATCHES. — An inflammation of the skin of the heel of a horse, 

 the first appearance of which is usually a dry and scurvy state of the skin 

 of the heel, with redness, lieat and itching. (See Grease Heel.) 



Treatment. — Wash the affected parts clean Avith castile soap and warm 

 soft water, and dry; then use glycerine eight ounces, carbolic acid one 

 drachm, mixed and applied twice a day; washing as above, wdien necessary, 

 to keep the parts clean. (Also see Treatment for Grease Heel.) 



It has been reported to us that Kendall's Spavin Cure, applied twice a 

 day, after washing as above, has worked nicely. It is well usually to give 

 condition powders: saltpetre fourozs., sulphur eight ozs., copperas four 

 ozs., fenugreek twelve ozs., gentian four ozs. ; mix, and give a table-spoon- 

 ful twice a day. 



SHOULDER LAMENESS. —This is common among young horses 

 when plowing in the furrow, or it may result from a slip sidewise by a 

 horse of any age. Horses in cities are especially liable to this difficulty. 

 The muscles of the shoulder, and sometimes the shoulder joints, are involved, 



Fpiiptomft. — Heat, tenderness, and sometimes swelling of the parts. It 

 is sometimes ditticult to ascertain the exact location of the lameness, but by 

 making a thorough examination of all parts and finding no lameness, heat 

 or tenderness in other parts, it will be quite certain that the difficulty 

 is located in the shoulder, especially if it is found hot and tender. The 

 horse steps shorter with the sound leg than with the lame one. which he 

 drags along. In nearly all diseases of the foot the horse stretches the leg 

 out straight forward, but in shoulder lameness it will be carried out more 

 from the bod v.
