Lameness Following Cut 
* have a horse that cut his leg 
just above the hoof last .Tune. I fear 
the tendon wa.s cut through, though the 
veterinarian seemed to think it was not. 
We had a high shoe put on to .support 
the ankle and she now seems lame from 
the shoulder as well as weak in the 
ankle. I’ossihly sweeny has set in. Is 
there anything to be done for that?

We are unable to form a definite idea 
of the condition present, as your descrip¬ 
tion is not clear, and under the circum¬ 
stances we can only advise ypu to de¬ 
pend upon the judgment and advice of 
the local graduate veterinarian who has 
the advantage of making an examination 
in person. a. S. A. 
Depraved Appetite 
I have .a horse that eats dirt, chews 
bark on trees. Horse doctor said give 
charcoal, but that does not stop it. 
What does the horse need? 0 . P. 
New York. 
.Vllow the horse free access to poplar 
(popple) trunks and boughs. The bark 
is medicine in such cases. Worms may 
be the cause and on general principles 
it would be well to give the worm pow¬ 
ders often prescribed here. Feed gener¬ 
ously on whole oats, wheat bran, ear 
corn and good hay. Add carrots if they 
ai'C obtainable. A. S. A.

Nervous Horse 
of .staggers, probably caused by indiges¬

Feed lightly and keep the bowels active. 
Never let him stand for a single day

Bed Sore 
Is there any way to induce or com¬ 
pel a 1400-1'b. horse, 14 years old, to 
lie on her left side? It is her habit to 
rest on the right side, and lately a sore 
about the .“^ize of a quarter dollar has 
appeared on her right thigh, which can¬ 
not heal, because it is repeatedly irri¬ 
tated. H. P. P. 
New Jersey. 
4'he best course in such a case woiibl 
be to iillow the horse a roomy box stall, 
well bedded with sawdust or planing 
mill shavings. The present stall is too 
narrow and not enough bedding has been 
placed at the side where the horse lies. 
If the halter rope is tied rather short, 
and to the side of the stall upon which 
the horse is wished to lie, he will be 
likely to lie on that side or remain 
standing. A horse soon learns to sleep 
in the standing position or slings may 
be loosely applied to prevent lying 
down, f'lcanse the sore. I*aiut it wirh 
tincture of iodine three times, at inter¬ 
vals of T2 hours; then apply twice daily 
a mixture of one dram each of tannic 
acid, boric acid and alum in an ounce of 
lard. A. 3. A. 
Cure Fob Cribbing. —This is how I 
cured a horse from cribbing: I took a 
jiicce of water pipe that would jn.st fit in 
a piece of old bicycle tire, just the length 
of the manger .and fastened on the man¬ 
ger securely. The horse did not relish the 
taste of the rubber, and in a few days was 
cured of the habit. This happened two 
years ago. Charles h. pkinule.

Onr horse has some kind of skin dis¬ 
ease on her belly, in the vicinit.v of her 
navel. It has gradually spread to be¬ 
tween her front legs. It only annoys her 
by itching* during the warm weather of 
each year. I have scrubbed her on the 
diseased place with soap ami water; 
later with clear wood alcohol; still later 
with diluted dip. I always used a scrub¬ 
bing brush, but the under side of a 1,400- 
Ib. mare is hard to get at effectually, and 
there have been no results. II. P. P.

Lying upon a dirty, wet floor or grouud 
tends to cause this condition, and it is 
I have a horse, 24 years old. have 
owned and used him for 16 years, always 
gentle and safe to use. A few days ago 
put I harness on him as usual, when he 
commenced to kick and .squeal; could not 
get harness off, only by putting twitch 
on his nose. He would kick if touched 
in any way. What was the cause and 
has anyone had like experience with an 
old horse? s. I), o.

If yon are certain that a sharp object 
on the harness did not cause tlie kick¬ 
ing, from irritation, it may be con¬ 
cluded that the old horse had an attack 
Remedy For Rots. —On page 1606 A. 
S. A. asks for remedy for bot.s. Try raw 
potatoes; they are harmle.ss and will not 
cost much to try. If horse will not eat 
potatoes grate them and mix with feed.

Better Footwear for

Every “H^ress” Brown Boot or Shoe is Just ONE SOLID 
PIECE of tough, gristly rubber—aetually the same kind of rub¬ 
ber that has made Goodrich Automobile tires known all over 
the world as the strongest, longest wearing tires ever made. 
That means wear —more of it in one pair of “Hipress” than 
in two and even three pairs of any old style bla^c i 
boots you ever wore. 
And you can see that there isn’t a chance for a * *Hip revSs” 
One Piece Molded Boot or Shoe to crack, peel or come apart. 
It simply can’t leak. It gives so much more service, and so 
much more comfort, that after you have worn your first pair you 
will always ask your dealer for the Brown Boots and Shoes 
With the ‘‘Red Line ’Round the Top.”
