daily between the back tendons and the bone just 

 above the fetlock Joint. The bulging out is on 

 each side of the tendon. Horses subjected to 

 severe exertions, like hard work on the roads, are 

 most frequently affected. The puffs or galls sel- 

 dom cause lameness or interfere with the usual 

 work. Unless treated the puffs will become thicker 

 and harder and sometimes solidified. When this 

 happens lameness occurs. In the early stages, 

 pads and bandages, if applied so as to cause pres- 

 sure, will tend to remove the galls. If this treat- 

 ment is not sufficient, then use a teaspoonful of 

 biniodide of mercury, and 4 tablespoonfuls of lard. 

 When mixed, these should be rubbed on with the 

 fingers. After 24 hours remove with water and 

 soap and repeat every other week until the puffs 

 disappear.

 Sheep; and Stomach Worms. 



WORMS IN HOGS.— Hogs with worms in the 

 intestines run down in condition, become very thin 

 and lank, back is arched, eyes dull, refuse feed, 

 walk stiffly, and appear lifeless. The worms may 

 be very numerous, in bad cases completely filling 

 the intestines. The pigs die if not treated. To 

 secure the best results, affected hogs should re- 

 ceive individual treatment. Twenty-four hours be- 

 fore administering treatment very little feed should 

 be given them. Then give the following medicine 

 as a drench to each 100-pound hog; larger or smaller 

 hogs should receive a dose in proportion: 4 table- 

 spoonfuls of oil of turpentine, one-half teaspoonful 

 of liquor ferri dialysatus and 6 ounces of raw lin- 

 seed oil. If necessary, repeat the dose in four 

 days.
