Who Pays fo: the Heifer? 
A places two heifers out to pasture 
with B, paying stated sum monthly _ for 
same; one heifer gets on road at night 
and is run over and killed by automobile 
driven by C. Who may be held respon¬ 
sible? J. w. D. 
New Jersey. 
That would depend so much on circum¬ 
stances you have not stated that it would 
be hard to tell. Ordinarily, A could 
look to B for any damage to A’s heifer. 
B as bailee must take reasonable care of 
A’s heifer while in his pasture. But 
then the heifer may have been a fence- 
breaker, and this would relieve B, Then 
the automobilist. if he was exercising due 
care, -would not be liable, while on the 
other hand, if he was running his car 
in a negligent manner, either A or B 
could sue him. If B recovered, he would 
have to pass the money on to A. If B 
exercised reasonable care, that is all that 
is required, and the same may be said of 
the autoist. 
Foot Rot 
Will you decribe hoof-rot and how it 
starts, and its natiire with sheep? I 
have a fine young ewe that is very lame. 
While examining her foot I found noth¬ 
ing wrong except a little boil-like spot 
in front of the hoof below the ankle that 
had broken and was running some. 
What is it? ii. v. B. 
In true foot-rot practically all of the 
sheep become lame, the skin between the 
toes and just above the hoof becomes 
sore, pus forms and burrows under the 
horu and the hoof may slough off. In 
the case you describe false foot rot is 
present from blocking and infection of 
the interungulate canal which secretes 
lubricating fluid to prevent friction be¬ 
tween the toes. Perfectly cleanse and re¬ 
move pus and all foreign bodies, then 
swab with tincture of iodine and cover 
w’ith absorbent cotten saturated with a 
five per cent, solution of coal tar dis¬ 
infectant. Renew the dressing daily.
