Abscess  \ 
What  rlo  you  think  nils  my  mare?  She 
is  12  years  old,  has  a  good  appetite,  is  in 
good  health,  hut  for  a  discharge  in  her 
left  nostril,  which  I  claim  is  due  to  shame¬ 
ful  neglect.  About  four  weeks  ago,  when 
I  was  ill,  I  saw  her  standing  in  the  wind¬ 
iest  spot  on  the  place,  facing  the  cold 
rain  and  wind,  without  so  much  as  a  blan¬ 
ket.  on  her.  As  soon  as  I  was  able  to  he 
about  I  attended  to  her,  giving  homeo¬ 
pathic  specifics.  She  improved  a  groat 
deni,  but  is  not  all  well  yet :  the  discharge 
is  not  as  had  or  as  ill-smelling  as  it  has 
been.  Would  you  advise  me  to  give  more 
of  the  medicine?  She  has  all  the  care 
that  is  required  for  ft  sick  animal. 
Connecticut.  M.  F. 
In  all  probability  the  had  smelling  dis¬ 
charge  from  the  nostril  is  due  to  a  dis¬ 
eased  molar  tooth,  but  it  might  also  he 
due  to  chronic  catarrh  or  even  to  glan¬ 
ders.  A  diseased  molar  would  have  to  he 
removed  by  trephining  the  skull  and  pus 
in  a  sinus  would  require  a  similar  opera¬ 
tion.  Glanders  is  malignant,  incurable 
and  communicable  and  fatal  to  man.  Un¬ 
der  the  circumstances  it  should  be  plain 
that  you  should  take  the  mare  lo  the 
nearest  qualified  reliable  veterinarian  for 
examination  and  an  operation,  if  that 
proves  necessary.  Seeing  that  there  is 
a  possibility  of  glanders  we  should  not 
feel  justified  in  prescribing  treatment.

Indigestion 
I  am  feeding  stock  feed  to  my  horse. 
Last  week  I  was  so  behind  in  my  work 
that.  T  think  I  overworked  him,  and  ho 
does  not  act  quite  right.  lie  is  between 
IS  and  20  years  old  and  will  eat.  all  of 
Ins  bedding  at  night,  so  I  put  a  muzzle 
on.  He  will  paw  all  night  and  work  the 
rye  straw  up  to  his  heart  to  cat.  Will  it 
hurt  him  if  he  oats  too  much?  ITe  has  u

Never  feed  “cow  feed"  to  a  horse,  nor 
grind  feed  of  any  kind  for  a  h'"-se  that 
can  masticate  properly.  Turn  the  horse 
loose  in  I  he  box  stall;  that  is  the  purpose 
of  such  a  stall,  and  the  horse  will  he  like¬ 
ly  to  stop  pawing  if  given  his  liberty. 
Fed  with  planing  mill  shavings  or  saw¬ 
dust.  The  straw  bedding  is  injurious, 
causing  indigestion.  Allow  free  necess  Co 
rock  salt.  Give  the  drinking  water  before 
feeding.  Feed  whole  oats,  wheat  bran 
and  best  of  hay.  A.  S.  A.

Rupture 
I  have  a  colt  four  months  old.  At  the 
age  of  about  one  month  I  noticed  a  little 
swelling  on  the  navel  and  found  that  it 
was  a  rupture.  It  does  not  seem  to  get 
any  larger.  Is  there  anything  that  I  can 
do  for  if?  w.  w. 
New  York. 
This  small  umbilical  hernia  or  rupture 
will  be  likely  to  disappear  without  treat¬ 
ment  as  the  colt  grows,  but  swabbing  the 
part  once  or  twice  a  week  with  tincture 
of  iodine  will  hasten  disappearance,  or 
a  lighl  blister  applied  once  a  month  will 
have  a  like  effect.  Some  people  prefer  to 
apply  a  truss  of  Sole  leather,  stuck  to  the 
skin  with  pitch  and  then  kept  in  place  by 
a  harness.  If  the  rupture  increases  in 
size  have  it  operated  upon  by  an  educated 
veterinarian,  who  probably  will  apply 
wooden  clamps  to  the  loose  skin  and  sac 
of  the  hernia  after  returning  the  bowel 
to  tln>  abdominal  cavity.  A.  S.  A.

Get  the  Grain  in 
(  an  you  give  me  advice  on  a  young 
horse?  I  think  he  has  spavin  in  his 
hind  legs.  Wh.it  can  I  do?  lie  is  grow¬ 
ing  lame,  has  a  lump  growing  inside  of 
his  leg  from  it.  S.  A.  x. 
Wo  cannot  decide  from  your  meagre 
description  what  is  wrong,  but  if  you 
arc  sure  that  a  spavin  of  the  hock  joint 
is  the  cause  of  the  lameness  you  should 
have  the  joint  and  spavin  fired  and  blis¬ 
tered  by  a  trained  veterinarian,  and  then 
tie  the  horse  up  short  in  a  stall  for  a 
six  weeks’  rest.  When  a  spavin  is  pres¬ 
ent  the  horse  limits  when  starting  to 
trot,  but  lameness  disappears  with  exer¬ 
cise.  A.  s.  A.

Pig  With  Cough 
One  of  my  pigs,  about  four  months  old. 
weighs  about  80  pounds,  has  a  cough 
which  began  about  four  weeks  ago.  When 
1  feed  them  he  would  eat  a  little,  then 
begin  to  sneeze  and  cough,  but  now  he 
coughs  more  often  nud  louder.  T  feed 
them  ground  onts,  corn,  bran,  middlings, 
and  little  sail  mixed  in.  I  mix  this  with 
skim-milk  and  feed  while  warm,  also  a 
little  corn  on  the  ear.  They  have  a 
warm  place  to  sleep  bedded  with  bright 
wheat  straw.  Also  have  plenty  of  exer¬ 
cise.  C.  L  D.

If  only  one  pig  coughs  sore  throat  may 
he  the  cause  or  a  foreign  body  has  lodged 
in  the  tongue  or  throat.  Lung  worms 
are  a  Very  common  cause  of  cough  in 
pigs,  but  numbers  would  be  similarly  af¬ 
fected  at  the  same  time.  I>ust  in  the  bed¬ 
ding  is  another  common  cause.  Rub  the 
throat  from  ear  to  ear  with  a  mixture  of 
one  part  of  turpentine  and  three  of  oil. 
Isolate  the  pig  and  feed  slop  of  milk, 
middlings  and  oilmoal.  Use  the  liniment 
once  daily,  unless  the  skin  becomes  sore.
