head held firmly on the ground, take hold of the growth with 
a small hook, or anything that you can hold it with and draw 
it out far enough to get under it with a pair of scissors and 
clip it off. There is usually very little bleeding or trouble 
with it afterward. Bathe with new milk once a day, wipe dry 
and apply the eye wash. 
4. Sore or Inflamed Eyes. 
Causes. — Cold or injury will cause it. 
Symptoms. — Tears run freely. The eyes are very weak 
and red looking, and if not relieved a scum soon forms over 
the sight. 
Treatment. — Bathe well twice a day with new milk or 
lukewarm water, and each time after bathing wipe dry and 
apply the eye wash. 
5. Cataract, 
This is very rarely met with in cattle, and for information 
regarding it refer to Part II., as the causes, symptoms and 
treatment are the same as those of the horse. 
6. Injuries to the Eyelids. ' 
This may occur in many ways. A kick from a horse, a 
hook from a cow, or catching on something may cause it. 
Treatment. — If torn much stitch them up with a wound 
sewing needle and carriage trimmers' twine, which is the best 
for this work. Treat afterward by bathing with new^ milk or 
lukewarm water and applying the eye wash. Do this twice a 
day and it will soon heal and the stitches will w^ork out 
themselves.
