Worms. 
1. I have a four-year-old horse that is 
slightly lame in the right foreleg. The 
right breast is smaller than the left; 
when he trots the leg twists between the 
knee and hoof, throwing the hoof out at 
the rear. If he stands in stable a couple 
of days can not notice it till driving 
about 10 miles. 2. I also think he has 
worms. What will cure this? J. XI. n. 
Pennsylvania. 
1. Without an examination we are un¬ 
able to say what is causing the lame¬ 
ness; but you should have the smith 
so shoe the horse that the hoof will be 
prevented from twisting. This may he 
managed by use of sharp calkins and a 
trailer on the shoe. 2. For worms give 
one tablespoonful of a mixture of equal 
parts of salt, sulphur and sulphate of 
iron night and morning for a week; then 
skip 10 days and repeat. Mix it in the 
feed. Do not give iron to a mare in 
foal. The other ingredients may be 
safely given. a. S. A.
