Itching Skin 
One of my horses lias been overheated. 
This Spring her old hair came out before 
the new came in. She has a line coat 
now. Slut is a good horse, and I would 
like to do something to relieve her. She 
is all the while biting herself and rubs 
some places raw. f. c. n. 
When we are told that a horse has itehi- 
ness of the skin about the head and neck, 
our first thought always is that, chicken 
lice are the probable cause. When that 
is the case, the skit) is not only itchy, 
hut the hair tends to drop out and leave 
little white spots or bare patches. That 
condition may also characterize the form 
of eczema commonly called Hummer itch 
or Texas itch. In the case in question 
the first step should be absolutely to ex¬ 
clude chickens from the stable. They are 
an intolerable nuisance there, not only 
on account of their parasitic mites, but 
for the reason that they foul the place 
with their droppings, and make it untidy 
with their feathers. We have also known 
iff horses choked to death by eggs de¬ 
posited m the manger and swallowed 
Whole. Next, clip the mare and wash 
her body with a l-to-100 solution of coal- 
tar dip at blood heat. Before the skin 
dries, rub into any sore part some (lowers 
of sulphur. You may lind that the roots 
of the mane and tail arc. so foul that the 
parts are itchy and therefore rubbed by 
the marc. If so, scrub those parts clean 
with soap and hot water, and when dry 
rub in a mixture of 2 oz. of flowers of 
sulphur. Vj oz. of coal-tar dip and 1 pt. 
of sweet oil or cottonseed oil. Huch 
local treatment usually relieves the itchi¬ 
ness at once, but when it returns, which 
it tends to do as soon as the animal 
sweats, it may be relieved by bathing the 
affected parts two or three times daily 
with soft water containing half an ounce 
of granular byposulphaLe of soda and a 
teaspoonful of carbolic acid to the quart. 
If that does not suffice, add 20 grains of 
menthol crystals, and increase the amount 
if found necessary. We have noticed 
that the itchim-** is brought on in such 
cases when the animal starts eating green 
grass. It is. therefore, best to withhold 
that feed and not to give corn or new hay 
nr new oats. Internal treatment is also 
necessary. First try the effects of ft table- 
spoonfnl each of powdered wood charcoal 
and granular hyposulphatc of soda mixed 
in the feed of crushed or whole oats, and 
one ninth part of wheat bran, by weight, 
each evening. If that does not suffice, 
give the powders twice daily, and if that 
fails, stop that treatment and give a table¬ 
spoonful of Fowler’s solution of arsenic 
night and morning in u little water or 
sprinkled on the feed. Keep the stable 
clean, and screen aud darken it against 
Hies.
