Lame  Dog 
[  have  a  French  bulldog  eight  months 
old :  she  is  lame  in  the  left  buck  foot. 
At  times  she  ran  hardly  touch  the  ground 
with  it  and  then  again  it  seems  to  he 
all  right.  I  cannot  find  anything  the 
matter  with  the  foot ;  it  seems  to  hr* 
more  like  rheumatism.  Can  anything 
be  done  for  it?  A.  K. 
New  York. 
We  cannot  diagnose  mysterious  lame¬ 
ness  without  making  an  examination.  If 
you  think  it  is  rheumatism  give  five 
grains  of  salol  twice  daily  and  increase 
to  three  such  doses  a  day  if  found  neces¬ 
sary.  A.  8.  A. 
ago.  Is  there  anything  I  can  do  to  help 
her?  A.  D. 
New  Jersey. 
Without  an  examination  we  cannot 
say  what  may  be  the  cause  of  the  lame¬ 
ness.  or  where  it.  is  located,  but  if  you  are 
certain  that  the  ankle  is  the  part  affect¬ 
ed  it  might  he  well  to  have  it  line-fired 
and  blistered  by  a  Qualified  veterinarian, 
and  then  allow  a  six  week’s  rest.  If  you 
cannot  have  rhis  done  the  lmir  may  be 
clipped  off  and  the  part  repeatedly  blis¬ 
tered  with  cantharidine  salve  to  be  bought 
from  a  druggist.  A.  s.  a. 
Spasmodic  Colic 
I  had  a  sick  horse.  He  would  paw. 
look  around  at  his  side  ami  at  times  lie 
down,  then  for  a  time  would  seem  bet¬ 
ter.  His  bowels  rumbled  freely  and  he 
seemed  to  want  to  make  water.  He  had 
been  given  a  long  drive  the  day  before. 
I  called  a  local  yeierinarian.  and  he 
said  he  had  the  rheumatic  colic,  gave  him 
some  medicine  and  said  he  did  not  think 
it  serious.  The  horse  got  no  better  so  I 
called  another  veterinarian,  and  he  said 
it  was  kidney  trouble  and  he  took  his 
water  and  the  horse  got  better  at  once. 
What  was  the  matter  with  ibis  horse? 
<  >hio.  a.  n.  .r. 
The  h  ors  >  no  doubt  had  spasmodic 
(cramp)  colic  in  which  the  urine  is 
retained.  The  urine  is  passed  as  soon  as 
the  spasms  subside  and  this  may  have 
been  so  in  this  ease,  as  a  result  of  sooth¬ 
ing  medicine  given  by  the  first  veterin¬ 
arian.  or  from  the  attack  passing  off 
"despite  treatment."  Ii  is  quite  usual, 
hut  commonly  erroneous,  to  attribute  the 
pain  in  such  eases  to  "kidney  trouble" 
and  retention  of  the  urine.  A.  s*  a.

Pigs  Coughing. 
I  have  two  little  pigs  seven  weeks  old 
which  I  feed  oil  skim-milk,  and  once  in 
it  while  give  them  a  little  corn.  They 
seem  to  have  a  cough;  it  sounds  as  though 
they  were  choking.  Can  you  tell  mo 
what  to  do?  They  seem  to  be  constipated 
a  little.  What  can  1  give  them?  c.  s. 
Connecticut. 
If  the  pigs  are  confined  to  a  dusty  pen, 
or  are  running  in  a  dusty  yard  the  dust, 
is  the  cause  of  the  cough  and  it  may 
cause  fatal  pneumonia.  Damp  sleeping 
places  also  may  induce  cough  in  little 
pigs,  while  in  older  ones  that,  have  been 
on  grass,  lung  worms  are  the  common 
cause  of  cough  and  for  ihem  there  is  no 
specific  remedy.  Turn  the  pigs  on  grass, 
keep  them  out  of  dusty  pons  or  yards,  or 
damp  or  dirty  beds  or  wallowing  places. 
Stop  feeding  corn.  Add  wheat  middlings, 
a  little  cornnieal  and  a  little  flaxseed  meal 
to  the  milk  and  mix  one  ounce  of  lime- 
water  with  each  quart  of  milk  feed.  See 
that  the  slop  barrel  and  feeding  troughs 
are  kept  sweet  and  clean.  a.  s.  a. 
Lameness 
Can  you  tell  me  what,  to  do  for  my 
mare?  She  is  lame  in  her  left  hind 
ankle.  At  the  age  of  four  she  caught  her 
foot  in  a  hole  in  the  stable;  she  was  laid 
up  for  a  while  but  got  better  until  two 
years  ago.  when  she  was  taken  worse, 
and  in  Winter  she  can  hardly  go.  She 
is  a  heavy  mare,  has  been  used  mostly 
for  driving  which  hurts  her  terribly.  She 
seems  to  work  all  right  when  the  ground 
is  soft  on  farm.  This  happened  II  years
