AILING ANIMALS 
Scours 
I have lo.st four calves lately, ages 
range from two to four weeks. Calves 
seem all right and then they commence 
to seem mopy; bowels loose, but eat 
every meal time. They linger about one 
week and then die, I feed three times a 
day, calf meal and milk. What is cause 
for it and can anything he done to im¬ 
prove conditions? P. B. 
Pennsylvania. 
You are no doubt overfeeding the 
calves. Cut down the calf meal and 
keep reducing it until scouring ceases 
or is not caused. Add an ounce of lime- 
water to each pint of milk fed and keep 
all milk utensils sweet and clean. If 
scouring starts give a dose of castor oil 
in milk after 12 hours and give a tea¬ 
spoonful of sublimate of bismuth twice 
a day in milk. a. s. a. 
Thriftless Colt 
I have a filly a year old in good flesh 
and spirits, but does not seem to be grow¬ 
ing as fast as she should. She has been 
having two quarts of whole oats twioe 
daily and a mash of ground oats, corn- 
meal and bran nights amounting to two 
quarts; gets all the hay and green rye 
she wants. Can one feed a colt too much 
grain, and so burn them up inside as they 
claim? Would you give a good grow¬ 
ing ration? The colt is a fine animal 
and I want to give her all the chance in 
the world. She is out in a paddock every 
day. H. P. M. 
Ma.ssachnsetts. 
Your mistake is in feeding mashes 
which are indigestible and unnecessary. 
Feed whole oats and one-sixth part of 
wheat bran by weight. Of this allow one 
and one-quarter pounds for each 100 
pounds of body weight at two feeds as a 
day's ration. Let the colt pasture grass 
and clover but not rye. Allow free ac¬ 
cess to rock salt. Sweet skim-milk may 
also be allowed as a drink or he mixed 
with the oats and bran. The latter is 
the better plan of feeding, a. S. a. 
Heaves 
We have a fine strong horse about 
seven years old which has had a cold for 
a long time. He blows very badly, his 
flanks going up and down continually in 
a most distressing way. _ He also has a 
discharge from the nostrils; there is no 
odor, however. Has he the heaves? 
What is the disease? What should 
he done for him? How shall we 
feed him? Is it contagious for 
other horses? Should he be kept out¬ 
doors? j. 0. L. 
New Jersey. 
In heaves (emphysema of the lungs) 
minute air chambers are broken down to 
form large chambers which do not per¬ 
fectly expel air, so that the abdominal 
muscles have to he brought into play to 
complete the act of exhalation. This ac¬ 
counts for the double, bellowslike move¬ 
ments of the lower flanks seen when 
standing behind a hcavey horse. Chronic 
indigestion always is present, and is the 
original cause of the trouble induced by 
prolonged over-distension of the stomach 
with roughage and working the horse 
when so distended. Let the horse live on 
grass this Summer. Treat as often ad¬ 
vised here under title of “heaves.” 
A. s. A. 
Cough of Pigs 
I have two shotes weighing 80 to 00 
pounds. Those pigs cough considerably 
and have done so for some weeks. They 
appear to be healthy; eat well, and are 
growing. What can be done for this ail- 
Ohio. J. W. 
Lung worms no doubt cause the cougli 
and unfortunately there is no sati.sfac- 
tory treatment, hut well fed pigs usually 
manage to withstand the ill effects of the 
worms. Give an entire change of quar¬ 
ters and if possible let the pig.s pasture 
new seeding of clover. Alfalfa or rape. 
Feed generously. In their slop or milk 
for three consecutive mornings mix one 
teaspooiiLil of turpentine for each 80 
pounds of body w’cight, and repeat the 
following week. Keep the pigs away 
from dust and out of wet beds. A. s. A. 
Splint 
I have a driving mare with a splint 
on left fore leg just below knee on in¬ 
side of leg, which is causing lameness. 
What should be done for remedy I have 
had even larger splints on other horses 
without any bad results., ii. S. 6. 
A splint close to the knee joint usually 
causes lameness, and may not prove cur¬ 
able. By preference it would be best to 
have a trained veterinarian puncture-fire 
the splint with a thermo-cautery and 
then apply a blister. If you have this 
done repeatedly blister the splint at in¬ 
tervals of three or four weeks with a 
mixture of one dram of biniodide of mer¬ 
cury and one ounce of lard. Tie the 
mare up short after blisfering. Do not 
wash the blister off, but in three days 
apply lard and then apply a little lard 
daily until the skin becomes sound. 
A. s. A. 
Indigestion 
1. I have a horse nine years old that 
has a cough when he is eating, and 
sometimes w^hen he drinks. When I 
work him his wind is a little bad, just 
enough to notice it, and he seems to be 
low-spirited this Spring. Up to two 
months ago he had always been a very 
gritty horse, full of life; now he hang.s 
his head and seems to he sleeping as 
soon os he stands a short time in the 
field. I have been feeding clover and 
Timothy mixed for hay, mostly clover, 
and corn and oats three times a day up 
to April first; since then corn and oats 
morning and noon and chop feed at night. 
I also have a five-year-old horse that 
does not cough but his wind is about 
the same as the other horse. Just 
enough to show when they are working. 
2, In^ January I lost a horse six years 
old, sick about 20 hours, taken sick very 
suddenly after being stabled. I thought 
it was spasmodic colic, but sent for vet¬ 
erinarian, and he said it *was twisted or 
knotted intestine and that there was no 
help for him. Have you ever heard, or 
seen, .a case of either knotted or twisted 
intestines and what could have been the 
cause? G, M. s. 
Pennsylvania, 
1. Stop feeding corn and hay and let 
the hor-ses live on oats, wheat bran and 
grass this Summer and in Winter feed 
wet oat straw or oat bundles instead of 
hay. Give one-half ounce of Fowler’s 
solution of arsenic night and morning 
find increase the dose if found necessary. 
Gradually discontinue the medicine 
when no longer needed. 2. The horse 
should have been opened to determine 
the cause of death. Cases of guttle, 
twist or hernia are not uncom¬ 
mon. The exact cause cannot be stated. 
Raw linseed oil should have been given 
in large doses together with fluid extract 
of nux vomica and a sedative medicine 
for pain, ?)ut if enteritio, or complete 
stoppage was present treatment would 
not avail. a. s. a. 
Liver Disease 
A valuable young mare, five years old, 
died recently. She commenced to have 
.some _ ailment about six weeks before, 
standing in pasture not feeding, then be¬ 
gan to lie around stretched out full 
length on ground. She seemed to have 
fever as she would go to water trough 
often hut^ drink little at a time. She 
was stiff in hind legs and small part of 
back at all times; a few days before she 
died commenced to swell in hind legs 
from her feet to her body. Post mortem 
showed liver badly swollen and full of 
pus. w. A. 
iMest Virginia. 
It is evident that an abscess formed in 
the liver and poisonng of the system 
from that source was the cause of death. 
We are unable to tell you just what 
caused the aKscess, but treatment in 
such a case would be useless. A. s. A. 
Obstructed Teat 
I have a fine cow just fresh one month 
ago; cannot milk one teat. I use milk 
tube. There is a hard lump about size 
of a pea in the middle of milk duct. I 
have seen a local veterinarian. He w'onld 
not operate, .saying that it is not success¬ 
fully done, especially when cows are 
fresh. What would you advise? By 
u.sing a self retaining teat dilator which 
is left in the teat all day and all night 
don’t yon think that the milk sinews 
would enlarge and that this lump would 
disappear? Is there any danger of cow 
liurting hcr.self with a teat dilator in 
the luider by lying down on it? 
Briti.sh Columbia. j. D. M. 
Reiieated insertion of a milking tube, 
no matter how well it is sterilized be¬ 
fore use will be about certain in time 
to cause ruinous mammitis (gargetL 
The veterinarian may attempt removal 
of the growth by means of a tubular 
cone-.shaped cutting instrument which is 
pulled downward to scrape off the growth. 
Such operations, however, are liable to 
be followed by infection and destructive 
inflammation. The modern and much 
better operation is to cut through the 
teat and dissect out the growth which 
is split in half by tlie first incision. This 
has to be done %vith every possible pre¬ 
caution against infection. It may be 
done when the cow is giving milk, in 
which case the wound should he left 
open for a time the milk oozing away 
during tlie healing process and the exter¬ 
nal wound not to be closed by sutures 
before the internal wound has practically 
healed. If the surgeon does not care to 
attempt such an operation, although it 
is popular and successful in the west, 
the milk secretion in that quarter should 
be dried off. We cannot advise you to 
attem])t operating yourself. Infection is 
so readily caused and so disastrous that 
a trained surgeon always should be em¬ 
ployed ill such difficjilt cases, a. s. a.
