By Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Swelling; Wind-sucking 
My horse has a swelling at the base of 
the nook where the collar comes, about 
as large as a man’s fist. This will be 
Very prominent in the morning: after be¬ 
ing" watered or driven, it will entirely dis¬ 
appear; there seems to be no sensation 
of pain, only sometimes he will lay his 
ears hack nud give a %bort. grunt, like a 
cribber» and there will he a gurgling 
sound in the neck. This is a Western 
horse; weighs about 1.100 lbs., seven 
•years old. and had the distemper last 
Spring. From inquiries I have made I 
have reason to suspect this horse has had 
this trouble before. I bought it last No¬ 
vember, P. H. Y, 
New Y 11 rk. 
The swelling is an enlargement of a 
hlirsa or synovial lubricating sac, and 
the tendency is in such cases for fistula 
of the withers to result if the part is 
bruised or becomes infected. If possible, 
work the horse in a breast collar to pre¬ 
vent bruising. Clip the hair from the 
swelling and rub in a little iodine oint¬ 
ment every other day. If that does not 
suffice, blister the part with a mixture 
of one dram each of biniodide of mercury 
and powdered cantharides, and 114 ounces 
of lard. This may be repeated in three 
or four weeks, if seen to be necessary. A 
popular farm remedy in suck cases is a 
paste made by boiling down mandrake 
(May apple) roots in lard and applying 
it upon the swelling. If pus forms, event¬ 
ually it will have to be liberated and 
treatment given for fistula, hut that 
should not be done at present. The horse 
appears to be a cribber autl wind-sucker, 
and that vice is incurable. It. may he 
prevented temporarily by stabling the 
horse in a box stall in which there is 
nothing upon which the teeth Could be set 
or the chin rested to practice the habit. 
Also buckle a wide strati fairly tight 
around the neck, just behind the throat- 
latch.

“I HAD the thrush—negtect 
on the part of my first owner. 
After he sold me I was passed 
along like a bad penny until 
I met my friend, the man 
who owns me now. 
“HE sized up my trouble at 
a glance and what’s more 
knew the remedy. 
“ ‘BILL/ he said, ‘Gombault’s 
Caustic Balsam’ll have you 
standin’ on four good feet 
in a jiffy.’ And it did! 
“WHICH proves if there were 
more wise owners there’d 
be more good horses.”

something in his gambrel joint. I had 
the veterinarian come, and he made au 
incision through the cord to insert a syr¬ 
inge. lie got over it during the Summer, 
and I worked till my Fall work was done. 
But in the Fall, and lie now is, quite 
lame, and the joint is swollen some. What 
can T do for it? T. c.

1. It is a mistake to feed a horse much 
over 1 lb. of hay for every 100 lbs. of 
body weight as a day’s ration. Most of 
the" hay should be fed after the grain 
feed in the evening, and not over 1 lb. of 
it at noon while cooling off wbeu hot and 
tired. A like amount of whole or crushed 
oats and one-ninth part of wheat bran 
may also he allowed as grain feed. We 
should advise putting the horse on that 
amount of feed after having his teeth put 
in order by a veterinarian. Also clip 
the hair from the legs above knees and 
hocks, and from the belly to a line with 
the straps of a breast collar and breech¬ 
ing. if he sweats in the stable. Increase 
grain slightly, and correspondingly de¬ 
crease hay when the horse has to work 
hard. Carrots would be. good for him. 
Bed with sawdust or shavings, if he eats 
his bedding, and give the grain feed from 
a large, shallow box to prevent bolting. 
Allow free access to rock salt. Have the 
horse work or run nut every day. 
2. It is to be suspected that pus has 
formed and is burrowing in the joint If 
so, the condition is a very serious one, 
and the veterinarian should be employed 
again. We think lie will find it well to 
clip off the hair and apply a blister to 
the joint and give hypodermic treatment 
with bacteria against pus.

Boiled Oats for Hens 
1. Are oats, when cooked on the stove, 
good for hens? Years ago we used to 
feed them, and the laying in cold months 
was remarkable. 2. Is it good to feed 
paper cut. into small pieces to poultry that 
have the egg-eating habit? Years ago we 
always found it was the best remedy. 
Mohawk, Mich. H. D. 
1. Boiled oats are excellent, as a food 
for poultry, perhaps equal to sprouted 
oats, that have become so popular within 
the last few yours. Raw oats, unless 
particularly heavy, contain a great deal of 
useless fiber, and are not very palatable; 
it is heller to feed them cooked or 
sprouted. 
2, I have never known of pieces of paper 
being fed to fowls that were eating their 
eggs as a preventive. If it is efficacious, 
it certainly is easily fed. m. b. d.
