Tapeworms 
Will  you  give  a  remedy  for  worms  in 
dogs.  They  lire  flat  and  short.  W.  A.  G. 
Connecticut. 
You  describe  the  ripe  segments  of  tape 
worms  which  pass  away  now  and  then  in 
the  manure.  Starve  the  dog  for  24  hours, 
then  place  him  in  a  clean  swept  box  stall 
and  give  one  to  two  drams  of  freshly  pow¬ 
dered.  Kama  In,  in  a  little  cream  or  soup, 
according  to  size  and  age  of  the  dog.  Re¬ 
peat  the  treatment  in  30  days  giving  a 
larger  dose  if  the  first  one  did  not  prove 
effectual.  A.  S.  A. 
Lameness 
A  mare  SV.  years  old  is  supposed  to 
have  navicular  disease,  (’an  this  he  de¬ 
termined  with  probable  certainty?  And 
if  so.  how?  What  is  the  best  method  of 
treatment  and  specially  wlmt  principle 
should  be  followed  in  the  method  of  shoe¬ 
ing?  She  has  been  owned  four  years  by 
me.  has  never  been  driven  hard,  and  there 
seems  no  adequate  cause  for  this  disease. 
If  the  diagnosis  is  correct  we  must  con¬ 
clude  she  has  inherited  the  tendency  t<> 
this  disease.  She  has  a  well-shaped  foot 
except  that  the  inside  quarter  is  not 
strong  and  well  developed-  particularly  in 
the  lame  foot.  She  is  low-heeled;  has 
been  lame  at  times  for  two  years.  b. 
Massachusetts. 
If  navicular  disease  is  present  the 
horse  will  stand  at  rest  with  the  lame 
foot  “pointed”  or  advanced,  and  when 
driven  will  go  very  lame  for  a  short  dis¬ 
tance,  then  “warm  out  of  the  -lameness.” 
but  become  as  lame  as  ever  on  standing 
still  for  a  short  time.  Foot  lameness  may 
he  proved  present  by  injecting  a  eueaine 
or  cocaine  solution  over  the  digital  nerves 
thus  taking  sensation  front  the  feet.  A 
navicular  disease  affected  horse  will  stop 
pointing  and  go  sound  for  an  hour  or  so 
after  such  treatment.  Unnerving  is  the 
only  effective  treatment,  for  navicular  dis¬ 
ease.  A.  s.  A. 
Thin  Horses 
I  have  bought  two  pairs  of  Western 
horses  that  average  about  1,-100  pounds, 
and  they  seem  to  be  getting  poor.  I  feed 
them  three  quarts  of  oats,  one  quart  of 
corn,  and  from  12  to  14  pounds  of  hay  to 
each  meal.  These  horses  are  on  the  road 
for  about  seven  hours  each  day.  aud  the 
load  that,  they  draw  weighs  about  2,500 
pounds.  Am  I  feeding  these  horses  right, 
or  what  is  the  trouble  that  they  are  losing 
instead  of  gaining?  C.  L,  s. 
Massachusetts. 
Feed  not  over  one  and  one-quarter 
pounds  of  hay  per  hundred  pounds  of 
body  weight  to  nn  idle  horse  and  give  only 
one  pound  per  hundred  to  a  working 
horse.  You  are  wasting  hay  and  hurting 
your  horses  by  your  present  erroneous 
way  of  feeding.  Feed  ear  corn  at.  noon 
and  morning  and  evening  feed  a  mixture 
of  whole  oats  and  one-ninth  part  of  wheat 
bran  by  weight,  dampening  it  at  feeding 
time.  Have  the  teeth  put  iu  order  by  a 
veterinarian.  A.  s.  A. 
Garget 
I  have  had  several  cows  with  caked 
quarters  of  the  udder.  Will  you  tell  me 
the  cause  and  give  remedy?  I  use  a 
milking  machine.  Do  you  think  they  have 
any  bad  effect  on  a  cow  that  would  cause 
cow’s  udder  to  cake?  Would  it  be  bene¬ 
ficial  to  a  cow  after  she  freshens  to  wash 
her  out  with  warm  water  for  a  week  to 
10  days  after  calving,  using  a  small  spray 
ttump?  C.  F.  II. 
New  York. 
Infection  is  the  common  cause  of  severe 
garget  and  it  spreads  from  cow.  Imme¬ 
diately  isolate  a  cow  when  anything  goes 
wrong  with  her  milk  or  udder  and  keep 
her  separate  until  perfectly  well.  Milk 
such  cows  last.  Keep  the  milking  ma¬ 
chine  cups  and  other  parts  scrupulously 
clean  else  they  may  spread  infection. 
Treat  garget  according  to  instructions 
often  given  here.  The  injections  are  bene¬ 
ficial.  Add  one  teaspoonful  of  coal  tar 
disinfectant  to  each  quart  of  warm  water 
so  used.  Inject  by  means  of  a  clean  rub¬ 
ber  hose  and  funnel.  A.  8.  A. 
Rickets 
I  have  four  pigs  three  months  old.  good 
size  for  age ;  two  of  them  have  something 
like  blind  staggers  or  leg  weakness.  I 
have  been  doctoring  them  for  constipa¬ 
tion.  gave  three  ounces  castor  oil  at  a 
dose  and  injections  one  quart  of  soap¬ 
suds.  that  helped  them,  hut  do  not  cure, 
I  have  been  feeding  middlings  and  cracked 
corn  from  hopper,  some  separated  milk 
and  keep  water  before  them ;  they  have  a 
large  pen,  110x30  feet,  clean,  with  gravel 
floor  with  litter  four  to  eight  inches  deep. 
Can  you  tell  me  the  cause  of  this  trouble 
and  is  there  any  cure?  Would  flaxseed 
meal  be  a  laxative  mixed  in  their  feed, 
and  lunv  much  would  be  the  proper  allow¬ 
ance  for  pigs  of  their  age?  j.  c.  ,T. 
New  York. 
You  do  not  describe  the  symptoms  so 
we  cannot  give  confident  opinion,  but  we 
suspect  that  the  pigs  have  rickets  from 
incomplete  nutrition.  Allow  them  free 
range.  Allow  them  to  root  for  whole  oats 
and  a  little  shelled  corn  on  a  big  shed 
floor  covered  with  litter.  Feed  slop  of 
wheat  middlings,  a  little  cornmeal  and  10 
per  cent,  of  digester  tankage,  fed  fresh. 
If  constipation  persists  add  raw  linseed 
oil  to  the  slop  until  the  bowels  are  regu¬ 
lated.  Alfalfa  liny  would  be  good  for 
these  pigs.  Also  allow  free  access  to 
slaked  lime,  wood  charcoal  and  wood 
ashes.  A.  s.  A.
