For PITCHER’S 
COUGH AND SWOLLEN UDDER IN COWS. 
C. W., Bartlett, D. T. —Two of my cows 
cough and sneeze very hard. The udders, 
too, are hard and swollen, and there is not 
much milk, and what there is is carded and 
stringy. One slipped her calf; that of the 
other is living. What should be done? 
An 8.—Give to each animal one pound of 
Glauber salts with two ounces of ginger, then 
take one dram of solid extract of belladonna 
and four drams of saltpeter; mix with sirup 
or honey to make a thick paste, and smear 
upon the back teeth twice daily, to be swal¬ 
lowed at leisure. Equal parts of ammonia 
and oil applied to the throat externally will 
be beneficial. Foment the Bwollen udder 
several times daily with warm water, using 
plenty of elbow grease, for 10 or 15 minutes 
each time, and then bathe with tincture of 
belladonna diluted with three or four parts of 
water. The milk should be drawn at least 
three times daily, preferably by a hungry 
calf, if the udder is not too tender. If the 
milk continues to be lumpy, inject into the 
teat a weak solution of carbonate of soda, five 
to ten grains to the ounce of water.

It is seldom that we have an opportunity to direct attention to any¬ 
thing so really worthy of notice as this Complete Stamping Outfit. 
While the price is almost ridiculously low for the entire outfit, the num¬ 
ber } excellence and variety of the articles furnished almost exceeds belief 
Even for a family to doits oivn stamping the outfit would be of great 
service ; but when it is realized, that by mea ns of the instruction, sam¬ 
ples and materials that are included ns “Outfits,” any lady can easily 
become & proficient in making choice Kensington Lace of most elegant 
and graceful patterns, and become skilled in executing every description 
of perforated stamping and thus make a nice addition to her income 
in a very easy and pleasant way, it would seem that scarcely anyone 
would neglect taking advantage of so favorable an opportunity. These 
stamping outfits are particularly appropriate for holiday presents 
and, in our opinion, well worthy of attentive considertion.

ERUPTIONS ON A MARE, ETO. 
C. H. B., Niagara, D. T.— About three 
weeks ago I noticed dandruff in the hair of a 
mare, and pimply eruptions all over her 
body. Lately she has been troubled with sore 
shoulders, which would not heal. She eats 
well, and when taken out for exercise, starts 
briskly off and appears as well as ever ; what 
is the trouble ? 
Ans.— The scurfy eruptions may be due to 
some constitutional disorder with neglect in 
grooming, or to a vegetable parasite produc¬ 
ing Parasitic. pityriasis. If due to the latter 
it is contagious; but not in the first case. Try 
thorough grooming, with the free use of the 
wire card to remove the scurf. If this does 
not succeed, break up and remove the crusts 
with strong soap suds and then apply iodine 
ointment, rubbing it well into the roots of the 
hair. The harnesses, brushes and combs will 
require a similar treatment, while blankets 
may be thoroughly boiled. Give a generous 
laxative diet, and twice daily half an ouuce 
each of powdered gentian, ginger and 
sodium carbonate. Dissolve one ounce of 
sulphate of copper in a quart of water and 
bathe daily the sores produced by the chafing 
of the harness. 
FAULTY CASTRATION OF COLT. 
W. H., Mount Upton. N. F.—1. The wound 
made on a five year old horse by castrating 
him six weeks ago, refm-es to heal, continuing 
to discharge more or less every day; what 
should be done? 2 l He has bad a cough for 
the last six months; what should be the treat¬ 
ment? 
ANSWERED BY F. L. KILBORNE, B. V. 8. 
1. The cause of the wound not healing is 
an unhealthy state of the general system, 
or some irritant in the wound. The 
irritant may be something that was placed in 
the wound at the time of castration, tissue 
that has become dead being cut eff from 
the circulation, or from the formation of a 
tumor on the end of the spermatic cord. 
Examine the wound and remove any irritant, 
if such be found, A tumor on the end of the 
spermatic cord is to be removed like a testicle 
iu castration. If the discharge is unhealthy, 
syringe out the wound daily with a solution of 
chloride of zinc, one half dram to each quart 
of water. 2, For the cough aud improvement 
of the general health, see “Chronic Cough in 
a Horse,” in the F. C. of Oct. 17. 
TUMPKINS AH FEED, ETC. 
M. C. A., Augusta, Mich — What are 
pumpkins worth to feed to cattle, raw? 2. 
What for hogs? 8. Should the seeds be re¬ 
moved? 4. Should “ground-feed”—corn or 
rve and oats ground together—be fed dry or 
wet to horses? 
Ans — 1. Pumpkins contain about 90 per 
cent, of water and 10 per cent, solid matter; 
they are about one half as nutritious as 
mangels, and less than one-third as good as 
potatoes; so, fed in conection with dry food, 
they have considerable value as cow food, es¬ 
pecially for milch cows 2. They nre of but 
little value as hog food unless cooked, and 
then if corn-meal is stirred in and they are 
allowed to cook, they make good food. The 
seeds are very rich food, but contain medic¬ 
inal qualities that render them unfit for food 
unless first cooked. Always remove them. 4. 
We prefer it mixed and moistened a little, and 
it is much better if mixed with cut food— 
straw or clover hay. 
F. O. 8., Haw Patch, Ligonier, Ind. —The 
apple you send lor name is a Baldwin without 
doubt—the most popular apple to plant in any 
country where it succeeds.
