Eruption on Mare’s Shoulder. 
B. C. L., Dwight , Mich .—My mare’s shoulders 
break out occasionally with small boils. I noticed 
it first last June after plowing under tall rye in 
very warm weather. Her shoulders bothered her 
considerably the rest of the season, and she be¬ 
came very thin. I haven’t done anything with her 
since October, and she is now in good flesh; still 
her shoulders break out occasionally as before. 
Ans.—G ive three-fourths ounce each 
of best aloes and Jamaica ginger as a 
purgative. Follow by a mash diet until 
freely purged. Repeat the dose in three 
days if not purged by the first. Then 
give two tablespoonfuls of the follow¬ 
ing powder in the feed twice daily : Sul¬ 
phate of soda and powdered gentian, of 
each one pound ; nitrate of potash and 
powdered nux vomica of each one-fourth 
pound ; mix. Also give once daily, one 
tablespoonful of Fowler's solution of 
arsenic. F. l. k. 
Electricity for Farm Power. 
W. S. T., Alexander, Ark .—For some time, I have 
been thinking of the feasibility of using electric 
power on the farm. While I believe it practicable 
I would like the opinion of one better versed in 
mechanical electricity than myself as to cost, etc. 
My idea is to have a steam engine of eight or ten- 
horse power, located conveniently for house and 
barns where it could be used directly for grinding 
corn, pumping water, sawing wood, etc.; but for 
thrashing, cutting feed, or for any purpose where 
the work is at any distance from the power, to 
use a dynamo connected with a motor to any 
place where it might be required. In my opinion, 
such an arrangement could be made very useful 
for many purposes, if the cost of the motor and 
dynamo were not too much. I see no reason why 
such an arrangement would not be practical and 
economical on farms of 100 or more acres. 
Ans.—T he following figures are given 
by one who has had large experience in 
such matters : “I would say that such 
an outfit as is contemplated, that is a 
steam engine and boiler of eight or ten- 
horse power, could be bought for about 
$300; a dynamo of, say, eight-horse 
power, would cost, say, $250 ; a motor of 
five-horse power would cost $200. 1 
would estimate the setting up and wir¬ 
ing for such a plant, at, say, $100 ; so you 
see that it would make quite an expen¬ 
sive farm plant when finished. In my 
opinion, it would not be practical or 
economical for farm use.”
