Knuckling 
I have a good young horse that has 
knuckled over in his left front ankle, 
lie has been so about six months. Is 
there anything I can do to help him? 
New Jersey. T. i. g. 
A skilled veterinarian can set matters 
right by performing the operation of 
tenatoniy, which consists in severing the 
(Icxor lendons. He will then prescribe 
suitable after treatment. a. s. a. 
Dark Urine 
I have a gelding about 12 years old. 
Ilis urine is dark, thick and ropy, some¬ 
times more .so than others. What will 
help him? m. f. h. 
Chula, Va. 
Stop all grain feed, and turn the horse 
out or see that he is thoroughly worked 
or exercised every day. Allow free ac- 
ce.ss to rock salt and provide him with an 
abundance of pure drinking water; no 
drugs need be given. A. s. A. 
Impaction 
I have a flock of 40 ewes, and among 
them one lamb that hiis been sick about 
three days. She stands and stretches 
the hind parts out when up, but lies 
down part of the time and has no ap¬ 
petite. I have given her two doses of 
castor oil (two table.spoons each) also 
warm lard and lin.seed oil (raw). 
Winter I had four ew’es that were 
I would find them laid right out; 
would lie about one-half hour or 
hast 
sick, 
they 
so. 
then get uj) and be dumpish for four or 
five days and I lost two of these. 
New York. E. s. A. 
Trolonged feeding of coarse, dry, 
bulky fodder without a succulent or lax 
alive feed is the common cause of such 
attacks and lo.sses and lack of exercise 
is a contributive cause. Feed clover or 
Alfalfa hay .and allow each ewe two 
pounds of roots or sound .silage daily 
and enforce (‘xercise by making them 
walk to a di.stant field and eat their hay 
.scattered over a wide area. Your treat¬ 
ment is correc't but also give tea.spoonful 
doses of sweet siiirits of nitre or aro¬ 
matic spirits of jimmonia in water every 
three or four hoiu's iifter the physic. 
Scurfy Pig 
I have two pigs; there is only ,a 
week's difference in the age. One weighs 
over KM) lbs. and the other will only 
weigh about'2r> lbs. The one that weighs 
2.0 lbs. is all scurfy and wet. We took 
him in the hou.se and washed him and 
took off some stairf. Now we have got 
the pig in the barn by itself and it is 
still wet and is getting the same as be¬ 
fore. Will you advi.se me if this i.s sei-- 
ioiLs and wlmt to do for it? We feed it 
milk, potatoes and bread. p. b. 
New York. 
IMiy.sic the j)ig with castor oil and 
when it has acted let the pig run out 
for exercise and root for whole oats and 
.shelled corn scattered on a big shed or 
barn floor and covered with litter. Feed 
slop of milk, wheat middlings, ground 
barley or rye, a little bran and a little 
flaxseed meal. Scrub the pig with a 
warm 1-100 solution of coal tar dip and 
then dry thoroughly. A. s. A. 
Lymphangitis; Abortion 
1. .\ few months ,ago I had a three- 
year-iild mare that was taken with what 
the veterinarian called lymphangitis?. 
Hind leg was .swollen full to her body 
and her water was stopped. The en¬ 
largement is not entirely gone. What 
do you advi.se? 2. I also have a cow 
that started to abort. I gave her car¬ 
bolic acid, one teaspoonful night and 
morning and think I have it checked. 
Am 1 using the right thing and enough 
of it? c. E. J{. 
IVniLsylvania. 
1. The disease is cau.sed by overfeed¬ 
ing during idlene.ss and may be prevent¬ 
ed by never allowing the mare to stand 
for a single day without work or exercise 
and omitting grain from the ration 
when there is no work for her to do. 
Hand rub her legs each time she comes 
and then bandage with flannel from feet 
to hocks and knees. Allow her a box 
stall when in the stable. 2. There is no 
specific remedy for contagious abortion, 
but carbolic acid may help. Better give 
two tea.spimnfuls every other night, dil¬ 
uting it with water and mixing it in th'e 
feed. You may find that the calf has 
died and been retained. A. s. A. 
Sorghum for Brood Mare 
Fan you inform me if there is any 
truth ill the belief that sorghum cane, 
fed to a mare in foal will cause her to 
lose her colt? Some of my neighbors 
claim it is only the ripe seedheads that 
Will cause the trouble, while others say 
any part of the feed will do it. 
.r. ir. E. s, 
Sound^ sorghum fodder is safe as a 
part ration along with grain and sound 
hay and corn fodder provided no secoud- 
growth sorghum or that which lias been 
Killed by wet, drouth or insects is used, 
ft also i.s well not to feed seed head.s. 
Au.v cane that has soured or fermented 
IK 'iiuigerous and on general principles 
Fshould only be used in the 
f all; Dot late in the sea.son and to mares 
heavy in foal. A. s. A.
