Collar Boils. 
I have a horse that Is troubled with 
lumps coming out on his neck under the 
collar. They swell up as large as walnuts, 
break, run like a boil and then there is a 
large sore left. By the time I have that 
healed another breaks out near where this 
one was. It has been so a year. It makes 
no difference whether he is worked or not 
about their coming. I turned him out to 
grass last Summer and that made no dif¬ 
ference. w. T.

Your horse has collar boils caused by 
a condition of the blood. When these 
lumps appear lance them wide open and 
dress them with a solution of carbolic 
acid, one teaspoonful to one-half pint 
of water and have your druggist put up 
the following prescription: Granulated 
hyposulphite of soda, six ounces; pow¬ 
dered sulphate of iron, three ounces; 
powdered gentian root, three ounces; 
bloodroot, one ounce. Mix this thor¬ 
oughly and give a teaspoonful night and 
morning in bran mash. 
Mange in Horses. 
My horses have something like mange; 
their coat seems dusty with little white 
scales beneath the hair. They bite and nip 
at their sides. One has been in this con¬ 
dition for more than a year in the Sum¬ 
mer. I have noticed by feeling with the 
hand behind the shoulders near the back 
little lumps that would form scabs and 
come off. They have good care. I am feed¬ 
ing bran and corn chops with good hay. 
Maryland. J. R. R. 
From the symptoms that you give I 
should say that you have a clear case of 
mange. In the treatment of mange we 
must destroy the parasites. It is also 
necessary to destroy the eggs which re¬ 
quire stronger remedies than would kill 
the parasites. The eggs are concealed 
under the scabs and are difficult to get 
at. First wash the affected parts with 
soft soap and water, using a brush to 
break down as many of the scabs as 
possible. Boil stavesacre seeds, one part 
to 20 parts of water, one hour and let it 
simmer one hour. Then add water to 
make it up to the original bulk. Apply 
a little of this to all of the affected parts. 
Repeat in a week if necessary. You may 
have to follow this treatment for six 
months. It will depend on how thorough 
you are with each application.

RAPE FOR HOG PASTURE. 
I noticed In one of the seed catalogues 
a mixture of seeds designed for a hog pas¬ 
ture, among the other seeds in it are men¬ 
tioned vetches, rape, Golden-vine peas, Soy 
bean, cow peas, sorghum-barley, Japanese 
millet, turnips and Teosinte. What is your 
opinion concerning such pasture? A. h. 
Weedsport, N. Y. 
I have never tried the mixture men¬ 
tioned but there would be no reason 
why at least a combination of rape, Soy 
bean and millet might not do fairly well. 
We must remember, however, that 
plants for pasture must have the quality 
of growing at once after being cropped. 
No other plant mentioned will stand 
cropping like rape. It will grow so long 
as the root is not pulled out and grow 
rapidly. Sorghum has this quality but 
there seems to be some risk from poison 
from the suckers. Turnips would have 
no value in addition to rape. Teosinte is 
not a northern plant. The Soy bean 
would furnish the protein and so elimi¬ 
nate the peas and vetches, but it would 
not stand up and grow under hog graz¬ 
ing and rooting. It looks therefore as 
though we had one plant in the list for 
hog pasture carrying about all the 
merit possessed by the whole combina¬ 
tion, viz., rape. It is very valuable if 
we do not ask too much of it. Fed in 
connection with a very little mill feed, 
breeding stock will thrive, and for fat¬ 
tening feed corn with it. h. e. c.
