night. Sound feet require very little 
care beyond keeping them clean. Medi¬ 
cines with little taste are most con¬ 
veniently given in bran mashes or other 
grain rations. In case the horse refuses 
to eat, the medicine must be given in 
ball or drench through the mouth, 
never through the nose. Benzoated 
oxide of zinc ointment is an excellent 
dressing for harness galls. 
Bad Scouring in Cows. 
On March 20, 1895, one of my cows began scour¬ 
ing, and would not eat her ration, composed of 
the following: 30 pounds of corn ensilage, 8 
pounds of mixed hay, and 10 pounds of corn meal, 
cotton-seed meal and bran equal parts. She 
shrunk in her milk more than half, and my entire 
dairy of 30 cows did the same thing. According 
to the best authority that I could obtain, they had 
what is known as “winter cholera.” On January 
12, 1896, one cow began scouring, and went off on 
feed and milk the same as the cow in March, 1895. 
What can I do for this cow, and what can I do, if 
anything, to prevent my whole dairy from having 
this terrible disease ? e. e. t. 
Scott, Pa. 
Replace the ensilage by dry feed, hay 
or corn fodder, and reduce the grain 
ration one-half, until the scouring ceases. 
Water the cow two or three times daily, 
but do not allow more than one bucket¬ 
ful at one time. If the water is very 
cold, take the chill off by adding warm 
water. After the scouring ceases, return 
to the full grain ration and ensilage 
gradually. 
What Ails the Mare ? 
Our mare has what I call the milk leg. Her left 
hind leg is badly swollen. She was on pasture all 
summer with her foal without any grain, and at 
weaning time the mare was brought into the barn 
and grained very heavily, she being used for heavy 
hauling on the road. Did the grain have a tend¬ 
ency to drive the milk through her system, or 
not ? If so, what is to be done ?. b. i,. u. 
Viola, Wis. 
If the mare has in any way been ex¬ 
posed to glanders or farcy, have her ex¬ 
amined for that trouble by a competent 
veterinarian. In the absence of such ex¬ 
posure, it is probably a case of lymphan¬ 
gitis. The heavy feeding was very 
'likely the cause. Reduce the feed, and 
give once daily a small ration of roots or 
other green food, or a bran mash. Also 
give one teaspoonful of iodide of potas¬ 
sium in the feed, night and morning for 
a week. Then omit for a week, after 
which repeat if necessary. Moderate 
daily exercise should be allowed. 
A Wa"t on a Mare. 
l.'My threc-year-old mare has a large, flat-sur- 
faccd wart on her neck, as large as a 50-ceut sil¬ 
ver piece. What will remove it without injury ? 
2. Where can I obtain a feed ration analysis ? 
a. j. B 
1. Either by tying a strong cord tightly 
around the neck of the wart, and tight¬ 
ening the cord daily until it drops off, or 
by cutting out with the knife. 2. Apply 
to the Agricultural Experiment Station, 
Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., or to 
the Office of Experiment Stations, U. S. 
Department of Agriculture, Washing¬ 
ton, D. C. 
Scratches on a I jrse. 
I have used on one of my 1 orses, the treatment 
recommended by Dr. Kilborne on page 809 (1895) 
of The It. N.-Y. for scratches. The horse seems 
to be getting all right. Before, I used a great 
many remedies, but to no avail. Will the disease 
likely come back again when completely cured ? 
The horse was very filthy when I bought it, about 
two months ago, and the disease appeared about 
10 days afterwards. p. m. 
Afton, Mo. 
The condition may or may not return, 
depending upon circumstances. Some 
horses are quite subject to the scratches, 
and even after being practically cured, 
they will return on the slightest provo¬ 
cation. In another case, it might be

on its first appearance, it can ustially be 
readily checked. Avoid, as far as possi¬ 
ble, driving such a horse in the wet or 
mud, or, if driven, immediately clean 
and dry the legs. Standing in the ma¬ 
nure or other filth, or overfeeding with 
little exercise, are also to be avoided. 
AN OPPORTUNE Friend will be found in Dr. II.

and the many Lung or Throat affections, which some¬ 
times follow. This old remedy has met the ap¬ 
proval of two generations, and is to-day as popular,
