Galled  Horse  ;  Ailing  Fowls 
1.  I  have  a  good  work  horse  which 
when  worked  steadily  gets  sore  on  top 
of  neck  under  collar:  seems  to  be  scaly, 
a  kind  of  grease.  Collar  tits  perfectly. 
l(c  throws  his  head  and  acts  wild  when 
putting  collar  on  or  in  taking  off:  acts 
well  in  every  other  way.  2.  What  is  the 
exact  cause,  prevention  or  core  for  poul¬ 
try  with  swollen  head,  eyes  closed  from 
same.  I  am  exercising  precautions  in 
proper  care,  such  as  housing  with  clean¬ 
liness.  etc.  \v.  s. 
New  York. 
1.  Probably  a  gall  from  having  worn 
an  ill-litting  collar  at  some  time,  or  from 
having  been  Compelled  *o  hack  heavy 
loads  without  breeching.  These  abrasions 
of  the  skin,  if  neglected,  sometimes  lead 
in  a  elu-onic  inflammation  of  the  deeper 
struct  lives  with  the  formation  of  "sit- 
fasts”  which  have  to  he  dissected  out 
beforfe  ft  cure  can  be  effected.  Simple 
galls  should  be  treated  by  so  arranging  or 
padding  the  harness  as  to  remove  all 
pressure  from  the  affected  part  and  bath¬ 
ing  the  sore  in  such  astringent  lotions  as 
sugar  of  lead.  20  grains  to  the  ounce. 
2.  Swollen  heads  in  poultry  may  be 
the  result  of  severe  colds,  roup,  chicken 
pox  or  other  diseases.  Roup  is  one  of 
the  most  common  causes  of  this  condi¬ 
tion.  Remove  the  sick  birds  from  the 
flock  to  avoid  spread  of  the  contagion. 
Clean  up  and  disinfect  the  quarters, 
using  whitewash  on  tlm  walls  and  perches 
and  boiling  water  to  clean  all  utensils. 
Add  permanganate  of  potash  to  the 
drinking  water  of  the  flock,  about  a  tea¬ 
spoonful  to  the  gallon  of  water.  Less 
if  the  fowls  will  not  drink  a  solution  of 
this  strength.  The  same,  or  a  stronger, 
solution  may  be  used  as  a  dip  for  the  af¬ 
fected  fowls’  heads.  Treatment  of  true 
roup  is  not  very  satisfactory.  It  should 
be  prevented  by  proper  sanitation  and 
avoidance  of  exposure  ol  the  flock  to  sick 
fowls  or  to  quarters  where  it  bas  been 
prevalent.  M.  8.  u. 
Milk  and  Cream  by  Parcel  Post 
What  is  the  handiest  and  least  ex¬ 
pensive  way  of  shipping  cream  (pints 
and  quarts)  by  parcel  post?  Do  not  want 
to  use  glass  bottles — too  beav.v.  Is  there 
a  reliable  paper  or  fibre  vessel  on  the 
market  for  this  purpose,  as  well  as  for 
the  purpose  of  shipping  butter,  one  to 
three-pound  packages?  I  do  not  intend 
to  ship  at  a  greater  distance  than  20 
miles.  l>.  w.  j. 
We  are  not  able  to  learn  of  any  satis¬ 
factory  package  for  shipping  milk  and 
cream  by  post.  At  one  time  bottles  made 
of  paper  or  wood  fibre  were  tried,  but 
they  do  not  seem  to  be  satisfactory,  and 
we  think  they  have  been  given  up  by 
Son  58314 
in  which  lie  was  interested  be  was  urged 
by  the  attorneys  in  a  dog  case  to  help 
them.  lie  was  paid  a  fee  of  $250  by  the 
plaintiff.  Voluminous  evidence  was  intro¬ 
duced  to  show  that  the  defendant  shot 
the  dog  in  malice.-  while  other  evidence 
went  to  show  that  the  dog  bad  attacked 
the  defendant.  Vest  took  no  part  in  the 
trial  and  was  not  disposed  to  speak.  The 
attorneys,  however,  urged  him  to  make  a 
speech,  else  their  client  Would  not  think 
be  bad  earned  bis  fee.  Being  thus  urged 
be  arose,  scanned  the  face  of  each  jury¬ 
man  for  a  moment,  and  said  : 
“Gentlemen  of  the  Jury :  The  best 
friend  a  man  bas  in  the  world  may  turn 
against  him  and  become  his  enemy.  Ilis 
son  or  daughter  that  be  has  reared  with 
loving  care  may  prove  ungrateful.  Those 
who  are  nearest  and  dearest  to  us.  Ihose 
whom  we  trust  with  our  happiness  and 
our  good  name,  may  become  traitors  to 
their  faith.  The  money  that  a  man  has 
be  may  lose.  It  Hies  away  from  him,  per¬ 
haps  when  be  needs  it  most.  A  man’s 
reputation  may  be  sacrificed  in  a  moment 
of  ill  considered  action.  The  people  who 
are  prone  to  fall  on  their  knees  to  do  us 
honor  when  success  is  with  us  may  be  the 
first  to  throw  the  stone  of  malice  when 
failure  settles  its  cloud  upon  our  heads. 
The  one  absolutely  unselfish  friend  that 
a  man  can  have  in  this  selfish  world,  tin* 
one  that  never  deserts  him,  the  one  that 
never  proves  ungrateful  or  treacherous 
is  his  dog.  A  man’s  dog  stands  by  him  in 
prosperity  and  in  poverty,  in  health  and 
in  sickness.  lie  will  sleep  on  the  cold 
ground,  where  the  wintry  winds  blow  and 
fhe  snow  drives  fiercely,  if  only  he  may 
l»e  near  Ins  master's  side,  lie  will  kiss 
the  band  that  has  no  food  to  offer;  he  will 
lick  the  wounds  and  sores  that  come  in 
encounter  with  the  roughness  of  the 
world.  lie  guards  the  sleep  of  his  pauper 
master  as  if  he  were  a  prince.  When  all 
■  itlier  friends  desert  he  remains.  When 
riches  take  wings  and  reputation  falls  to 
pieces  he  is  as  constant  in  his  love  as  the 
sun  in  its  journey  through  the  heavens. 
If  fortune  drives  the  master  forth  an  out¬ 
cast  in  the  world,  friendless  and  home¬ 
less,  the  faithful  dog  asks  no  higher  priv¬ 
ilege  than  Hint  of  accompanying  him,  to 
guard  againsl  danger,  to  tight  against  his 
enemies.  And  when  the  last  scene  of  all 
comes,  and  death  takes  the  master  in  his 
embrace  and  his  body  is  laid  away  in  (lie 
cold  ground,  no  matter  if  all  other  friends 
pursue  their  way.  there  hv  the  graveside 
will  the  noble  dog  be  found,  his  head  be¬ 
tween  his  paws,  liis  eyes  sail,  but  open  in 
alert  watchfulness,  faithful  and  true  even 
in  death.” 
Then  Vest  sat  down.  He  had  spoken  in 
a  low  voice,  without  a  gesture.  He  made 
no  reference  to  the  evidence  or  merits  of 
the  case.  When  he  finished  judge  and 
jury  were  wiping  their  eyes.  The  jury 
filed  out,  but  soon  returned  with  a  ver¬ 
dict  m  favor  of  the  plaintiff  for  $500,  lie 
had  sued  for  $200.  It  is  even  said  that 
some  of  the  jurors  wanted  to  hang  the  de¬ 
fendant.
