AILING ANIMALS. 
Lampas. 
Will you tell me liow to cure lampas in 
horse's mouth? I think my horse has a 
had ease of it. s. 
Virglnin. 
So-called "lampas” is not a disease; the 
swelling of the bars of the hard palate 
just hack of the upper incisor teeth merely 
indicates an inflamed condition of the gums 
nnd buccal membranes of the mouth, usual¬ 
ly due to dentition (cutting through of 
teeth) or to Irregularities of the teeth If 
that animal is adult. Have the teeth at¬ 
tended to; nllow horse some old, hard 
ears of corn to chew on ; swnh mouth twice 
dally with a lotion composed of an ounce 
of borax in a quart of cold water, a. s. a. 
Ringbone. 
T have a horse with a ringbone on his 
hind foot; it came on about 18 months 
ago. I have had It fired once and blistered 
ns much as 10 times, using well recom¬ 
mended sure-cure remedies, but after all 
treatment and long rest he is still lame. 
Is there anything I can do for him to stop 
this lameness? I don’t like to use a lame 
horse; otherwise from this trouble he is 
a fine good horse. c. a. 
Massachusetts. 
If the ringbone was on a fore foot all 
of the treatment given would be wasted, 
ns it will not cure, and the operatlop of 
high unnerving has to he done. If it is on 
a hind pastern the ringbone mny gradually 
grow to such a size as to unite the af¬ 
fected bones. When this happens lameness 
usually subsides. Repeated blistering helps 
to cause full growth of the ringbone. A 
strong blister should be used, such ns a 
mixture of one dram of binlodlde of mer¬ 
cury in an ounce of cerate of cantharldes. 
Vomiting Cow. 
I have a cow about eight years old; four 
weeks before calving anil up to calving, she 
constantly had vomiting spells. We had a 
doctor prescribe for her, which gave sopie 
relief. One week after calving it returned 
again more violently than before. Can you 
toll me of anything that will relieve her7 
New York. F. it. 
She should have a full dose of physic 
to dear the bowels. Then feed her lightly 
nnd give lime water freely with all food 
and drinking water. If vomiting comes 
on again then give three times daily a 
tablcspoonful of a mixture of one part each 
of subnitrate of bismuth nnd salol with six 
parts of powdered wood charcoal. In bad 
cases a half ounce dose of chloral hydrate 
in a qunrt of water given as required usually 
proves effective. There may, however, be 
some incurable condition of the stomachs ns 
a cause of the vomiting. Such a cause 
would be a tumor or foreign body. a. h. a. 
Indigestion in Horse. 
I have a driving horse which I am feed¬ 
ing 8 to 10 quarts of cracked corn and oats 
per day. Site is only driven enough to keep 
her in good condition, and not long drives, 
yet for all the feeding she does not put 
on any flesh, but seems rather to lose, if 
anything. Last Spring she developed a mild 
case of heaves. 1 purchased a can of 
"heave remedy,” nnd after taking the first 
can I thought she was nearly cured. I 
bought the second box, but did not seem to 
see any results from it. She eats well, 
nnd seems to feel well, and drives freely. 
Can you give me any cause for her not 
gaining in flesh with this amount of work? 
daily nnd only a small amount of work? 
She wns formerly in good flesh, and easy 
to keep. n, a. o. 
Connecticut. 
There is no permanent cure for heaves. 
Arsenic, lobelia nnd such drugs give tem¬ 
porary relief. Indigestion always Is present 
in such cases, and tills explains why your 
horse does not fatten. Give her half an 
ounce of Fowler’s solution of arsenic twice 
daily for a week, then three times a day. 
Wet all food. Feed grass instead of hay 
in Summer and oat straw in Winter. When 
great improvement is seen reduce the doses 
of arsenic and finally let the horse do with¬ 
out this medicine, but repeat it when symp¬ 
toms return. Molasses may be fed freely 
along with cut strnw, cornmenl nnd bran, 
and should keep her In better order. 
Injured Knee. 
I bought a three-year-old colt in Decem¬ 
ber last, broke to use. About the first of 
April I drove her about eight miles for a 
load of coal, put her in barn all right, but 
in the morning one knee wns all swollen 
up and has remained so. She is not lame, 
but the swelling increases instead of going 
down. I first used a liniment rn'ade of 
turpentine with all the camphor gum If 
would cut, which seemed to hold the swell¬ 
ing in check ; then one given me by a doctor, 
the principal pnrt being iodine, did not help 
it; then another equal parts iodine nnd 
turpentine. The knee is now swollen badly, 
seems just, below the Joint ns if pus 
might be forming, as the swelling is soft, 
softer than any other point; does not seein 
to be any unnatural heat. She is n very 
nervous animal and is never still in stable. 
I think site must have lilt it against the 
manger or laid on something in the bed¬ 
ding. I could not find anything In bedding. 
She kicks in the stall more or less; I put 
a chain on a foot for that. I would like 
a remedy for knee or to break the habit 
of kicking^in barn. She is a fine colt, nnd 
very kind and gentle to handle and work; 
I just refused $200 for her. a. J. w. 
Pennsylvania. 
Poultice the Injured knee with hot antl- 
phlogistine and have the soft place opened 
ns soon ns the skin has thinned sufficiently. 
Afterward syringe out the cavity with tinc¬ 
ture of Iodine, once; then with a 1-1,000 
solution of bichloride of mercury once daily. 
Often it Is best, to pack the cavity with 
oakum saturated In a mixture of equal parts 
turpentine nnd raw linseed oil nnd renew 
the dressing daily. To break her of kick¬ 
ing in the stall put her in a box stall nnd 
on each side of her arrange a. solid board 
partition hung on hooks or hinges so' that 
when she kicks it. aside it will return the 
compliment by swinging back against, her. 
A kicking horse becomes wonderfully tired 
of this swinging partition after it has been 
kicked at. for a while. a. s. a. 
Urticaria. 
What should I do for my driving horse? 
When I bought him last July his body 
was somewhat disfigured by several sores. 
I wns told his blood had been out of order 
a hit, but he would be all right in a few 
days. lie did improve, but was not. entirely 
clear till Fall. Now I fear a return of the 
trouble. lie lias shed his coat in good 
shape, but he feels lumpy all over; none 
of these lumps has broken so far, but 
they seem to Ik; fast approaching tills stage. 
Connecticut. a. R. 
it would be best to have the horse exam¬ 
ined by a veterinarian, as there is a possi¬ 
bility that "farcy” may cause the lumps or 
nodes referred to. More likely, however, 
they are due to surfeit (urticaria or nettle 
rash) associated with indigestion, nnd for 
this we would give a tablcspoonful of finely 
granulated hyposulphite of soda in feed 
night and morning until well, and repent 
again ns required. In chronic cases Fow¬ 
ler's solution of arsenic may have to be 
used as for heaves. If the skin Is itchy 
apply to the affected parts ns required, a 
lotion composed of one dram each of sul¬ 
phuric nnd cnrbolic adds in a pint of cold 
water. Do not feed iwn in Summer. Give 
him plenty of work or exercise every day. 
Fistulous Sore. 
Is there a way to cure a sore on a horse 
which wns caused by tapping when the 
horse wns suffering from colic? When I 
bought the horse I noticed the sore, but as 
I know little about horses I thought that 
this could easily be healed up. I had the 
horse doctor and he mnde n fresh cut and 
gave me something to wash the sore. I 
have attended the horse with great care, 
but the sore Is worse than when the doctor 
made the cut. The sore is running con¬ 
stantly. I have treated the horse according 
to the advice which the doctor lias given 
mo for the last six months. c. e. k. 
Pennsylvania. 
It will be necessary to remove that hair 
and after washing the parts clean cut down 
on the old wound in the colon and remove 
nil diseased tissues. A qualified veterinarian 
should be employed to operate, and it would 
be best, to leave the horse in his care for a 
week or 10 days. It Is quite possible to 
cure the fistuln, but a radical operation 
must be performed; other measures will 
fnil. a. s. a.

The Greatest 
in the World [ 
Are you attracted by big buildings and a vast 
throng of busy workmen? 
Stands for something, don’t it? 
No separator factory in the world is so big as the one 
where the Tubular is made; there are no employes more 
skillful than those who build the Tubular; nowhere are 
there so many people making separators. 
More than one complete 
Tubular Separator 
in every three minutes, is turned out from our West Chester factory alone. 
We own another complete factory at Harburg, Germany, from which we 
supply the European trade. Another factory at Toronto, makes the ma¬ 
chines for Canadian dairymen. Bigness alone don’t make the finest sep¬ 
arator in the world, but the finest separator in the world made the bigness 
and number of factories, and made it necessary to have the vast number of 
workmen. If you haven’t one of the world’s best separators you are losing 
dairy money.
