Uncontrolled  Bull 
Is  there  any  law  in  tills  State  as  to 
whether  one  may  or  may  not  let  a  bull 
have  free  range  over  one's  own  property? 
Can  one  compel  an  udjOining  neighbor  to 
tie  lift  or  confine  his  bull  to  the  barn,  if 
there  is  danger  of  the  bull  getting  beyond 
his  proper  limits?  D.  L. 
I  know  of  no  law  in  this  State  requir¬ 
ing  the  owner  of  a  bull  to  confine  him 
elsewhere  than  to  his  own  premises.  Cat¬ 
tle  owners  are  legally  responsible,  however, 
for  any  damage  done  by  their  animals 
while  astray  and  a  written  notice  to  the 
owner  of  a  bull  believed  to  be  dangerous 
to  the  effect  that  such  owner  will  he  held 
strictly  accountable  for  any  damages 
done  by  his  bull  if  it  leaves  his  premises 
should  make  him  more  cautious  and  the 
collection  of  damages  more  easy  if  trouble 
occurs.  One  should  see  to  it  also  that  his 
own  fences  are  in  such  shape  that  a 
neighbor’s  bull  will  not  cross  them. 
There  is  no  question  that  all  mature  bulls 
are  dangerous  animals,  and  it  seems  only 
proper  that  this  fact  should  be  recognized 
in  law,  No  one  would  he  permitted  to  har¬ 
bor  a  wild  boast  upon  his  premises  with¬ 
out.  such  precautions  ns  would  make,  it 
practically  certain  that  the  beast  could 
not.  escape  to  endanger  the  public,  and, 
since  any  bull  is  liable  at  any  time  to  be¬ 
come  a  wild  beast  it  should  be  legally  sub¬ 
ject  to  special  restraint.  M.  B.  p.

Two  Ailing  Animals’  Treatment 
Regarding  «T.  T).  W.’s  inquiry  (on  page 
1111)  about  pigment  tumor,  would  say 
that  it  is  melanotic,  and  tin*  odor  can  be 
kept  down  somewhat  by  filling  cavity 
with,  common  baking  soda,  sodium  bicar¬ 
bonate,  and  packing  with  a  2  per  cent, 
solution  of  permanganate  of  potash  and 
cotton.  I  have  entirely  cured  numbers 
that  were  on  the  tail  ill  this  way,  but 
when  on  the  body  and  soft  tissues  they 
seem  to  grow  more  rapidly  and  be  more 
malignant  and  I  doubt  if  lie  has  much 
success  in  a  cure.  All  depends  on  the 
case  and  the  situation. 
Noting  W.  S.’s  inquiry  (on  page  1110) 
horse  stamping  feet.  I  think  his  case  is 
one  of  mange  in  and  around  the  fetlocks 
and  the  treatment  is  to  apply  something 
that  will  kill  the  parasite  and  the  trouble 
will  cease.  To  do  this  first  clip  off  all 
long  hair,  then  apply  your  lime-sulphur 
and  salt  mixture  for  spraying  trees,  and 
lull  in  well  with  scrubbing  brush  or  any 
stiff  brush  daily  till  itching  ceases.  If 
the  lime  and  sulphur  solution  is  not  avail¬ 
able  get  the  druggist  to  put  up  one  pint 
of  2%  per  cent,  chloride  of  zinc  solution 
aud  apply  in  same  way.  Should  legs  be¬ 
come  scurfy  apply  linseed  oil  and  turpen¬ 
tine  in  equal  parts  well  shaken  together. 
This  should  be  applied  from  hoofs  to 
hocks  at  least.  ciias.  williams.

Cross-bred  Rabbits 
Would  it  be  possible  to  cross  the  cot- 
toutuil  rabbit  oi'  jack  rabbit  on  an  ordi¬ 
nary  tame  rabbit?  I  have  heard  it  said 
that  the  Belgian  Imre  is  the  result  of  suck 
a  cross.  g. 
The  probability  of  a  cross  between 
wild  rabbits  aud  tame  rabbits  is  exceed¬ 
ingly  remote.  It  was  claimed  for  xuanv 
years  that  the  Belgian  hare  was  a.  cross 
between  the  hare  of  Europe  and  the  tome 
rabbits,  but  this  was  disproved  by  the 
negative  results  of  many  attempts  to 
obtain  such  a  cross.  The  fact  that  these 
rabbits  are  not  different  species  of  a 
single  genus,  but  that  they  belong  to  dif¬ 
ferent  genera,  would  be  a  natural  bar  to 
tlieir  crossing.  The  tame  rabbits  belong 
to  the  genus  Or.vetolugus,  the  Cottontail 
rabbits  to  the  genus  Sylvilagus,  and  the 
jack  rabbits  to  the  genus  Lupus.
