.''Ufh sores are eoinin''n and troublesome, 
for the rea.son that the collars causing 
them “descend" from horse to horse as 
the tears go by. Wihen “Old Bill" dies or 
is sold, hi.s collar has to be worn by the 
Colt .succeeding him, whether it fits or not. 
The new collar either is too large or too 
snuill, and becjtu.se it does not fit properly 
trouble results; or the old collar may be 
broken, out of shape, rough or dirty, and 
press unevenly and harshly upon the skin 
when forced into contact by tiglit buck¬ 
ling of the hames. 
CT.eant.t.nes.s Needed. —Apart from 
ill-fitting collars, there are other causes 
of sores. Of these a common one is 
failure to keep the bearing surface of the 
collar clean. Sweat, dandruff and hair 
soon collect and form a hard, rough mass 
upon the surface of the collar to irritate 
the skin and finally jnfe<'t the sores with 
filth germs. Sweat pads u.sed with the 
hope of lessening .simh troubles in time 
become filthy find then may greatly ag- 
grsivate the condition or make it chronic. 
Beaving the collar on the horse at noon 
also favors formation of irritating filth 
masses, besides making the skin fif tho 
shoulder more readily chafed by rubbing.

mors and deep-seated fibroid tumors of 
the .shoulder muscles. The cutting should, 
of course, be done by a trained surgeon. 
If a superficial serous cyst forms, if 
.should not be opened %t once. Encourage 
resorption of the fluid by resting the 
horse, foment the part frequently with 
hot water, r nd then bathe it three times 
daily with a m. ct..'e of one ounce of 
sulphate of zinc in a. ‘nt each of vine¬ 
gar and soft water. If this does not 
prove effective, paint the pjirt twice daily 
with tincture of iodine, and T he fluid 
then does not disappear, it must be lib¬ 
erated by cutting. 
Cutting also is necessary for liberation 
of pus formed under the great muscle of 
the .shoulder. Its presence i.s indicateil 
by a large, hard, hot, sensitive swelling. 
The pus is located by inserting a groovf d 
needle; then the cutting is done with ;i 
bi.stoury. After liberation of serum or 
pus, tincture of iodine should be injected; 
then the cavity should be pjicked once 
daily with oakum saturated with a mix¬ 
ture of equal quantities of turpentine and 
raw linseed oil, lea'ing a tag of the 
oakum hanging out of the wound to act 
as a drain. The latter trea.tment also is 
Jipidiod to the wound and cavity caused 
by the removal of a fibroid tumor.

the first place, have the collar fif jjroperly 
aud then keep it clean and dry. It is par- 
ticulfirly neoassary to have the first col¬ 
lar of the young colt fitted by a compe¬ 
tent harness-maker, then the shoulders 
will “toughen" gradually and be able to 
stfiiid hard work. It is “penny wise, 
pound foolish" policy to use the old col¬ 
lars .vear after year on new horses and 
colts Avithoiit regard to the .size or shape 
of the neck aud shoulders. Better stiirt 
right :uid so avoid sores and the loss of 
lime and efficiency they are certain to 
cause. The new collar, properly molded 
to the neck aud .shoulders by tho expert 
i';iriies.s-maker. should be removed each 
iioon and night, wiped clean and placed 
where it will dry perfectly. Hare slioiild 
he taken to adjust the line cf draft of 
t!ie traces (tugs) upcT the hames so tluit 
the collar will lie finnl.v in its heel on the 
shoulder, and to so al'ust the neck yoke 
and pole that weight and rubbing will be 
reduced to a minimum, 
Otiikb Pkeve.ntive Measukes are to 
raise the collar every time the work horse 
stojis for rest and so allow the air to 
play upon the skin of shoulders and neck, 
bathe these parts two or three times 
daily with cold water containing a heap¬ 
ing teaspoonful of .sjilt to the quart, and 
in all cases whore there is a tendency to 
sores, dust the shoiildei's with slaked lime 
o.ifh nighc, and brush out in the morning; 
or dust tale powder freely upon the bear¬ 
ing surfaces of the collar before the 
horse fdairts to work. 
Poultry Going Light; Brewers' Grains 
1. My young chickens are losing the 
use of their legs. They grow light: one 
weighed today_ 2 % lbs., but was large 
enough to weigh four; then their legs 
grow w^k and they stagger around and 
finally lose the use of them altogether. 
‘“'I'®,^ <^ry coop, plenty of run 
and are fed oats and wheat for grain, and 
usually a dry mash of bran, ground oats 
hominy and meat scraps. We have had 
hens all our lives, but this is the first time 
we have ever seen this disease. 2. Can 
you tell me anything about feeding wet 
brewers grains to dairy cows? a w c 
Mji.ssaehusette. 
1. “Going light" in poultry Is due t» 
•several causes; among them tuberculosis 
i.s eouuiHui. There are other diseases, 
however, which may be responsible for 
this coudifiou, though not so coinrmui. 
The weakness of the leg.s is simply a 
manifi^statiou of general weakness from 
the (lisejise. Remove promjitly from th*' 
flock all birds seen to be affected an.I 
practice general cleanliness and disinfee- 
tion of the quarters. 
2. Wet brewers' grain,s are fed to dairy 
cattle where they can. t>e obtained In a 
fresh stiite. Fed in suitable amounts 
and with other foods, they are considered 
of great value, but the u.se of them in 
exce.ssive quantity and in a more or less 
.sjioiled condition has led to abuses that 
hfive ciiu.sed their interdiction by some 
health authorities. Fed fresh, and with 
other suitable foods, 20 to 80 pounds of 
wet brewers' grains daily are recommend¬ 
ed by good authorities. m. b. n. 
How TO Tueat ITakxe.S8 Sokes. —A 
u.seful lotion fur inflamed skin and sur¬ 
face sores Is made by mixing one ounce 
of sugar of lend and six drams of sul- 
jihate of zinc in a pint of soft water. La¬ 
bel the bottle “jKilson,” shake it well be¬ 
fore use, and ffa.sh the lotion directly 
upon the skin. The "white" lotion also 
is excellent for shallow barb-wire wounds. 
U.se it three times daily. If a swelling or 
bunch forms in connection with a surface 
sore, paint it two or three times daily 
with a mixture of two parts of tincture 
of iodine aud six parts of extract of 
w itch hazel. This lotion is quite effective 
in removing the lump, as well ns healing 
the sore. 
If a boil starts forming, pjiint it twice 
daily with full strength tincture of iodine 
until it bursts or i.s openeil; then apply 
Roup 
La.st Winter was the first year that our 
hens have ever had a touch of roup. We 
gave a roup cure and thought we were 
rid of it permanently—all affected birds 
were Isolated. In the Spring we had a 
number with watery eyes; later, in some 
cases, th’s turned to a whitish, curd-like 
substance, which we removed daily; also 
a hard swelling appeared below and in 
front of eyes. In no case have both eyes 
been affected on same bird. We improved 
this condition with combination of medi¬ 
cine and the hatchet, and it all disap¬ 
peared. This last month several - new 
cases have developed and are very stub¬ 
born. We put a few drops of argerol in 
each eye twice a day, but can see no im¬ 
provement. Our coops are clean, well 
disinfected and no dust or dirt to affect 
them. The affected fowls have u roupy 
odor. Any detailed recornrnendjitiou.s f>i- 
reference.s will be appreciated.

An excellent salve or ointniout for jill 
.surface sores cau.sed b.v rubhiug of the

iodoform, tannic acid and boric acid and

also keei«) flies away, 
A “sit-fast" must be cut out before 
healing can be expec*’ed. After the oper- 
jitiou apply “white lotion" three times a 
day. Removal by dissection also is the 
only succesj-ifql treatment for baggy tu¬ 
Your management of the outbreak iu 
your flock has been good and demonstrates 
how difficult it is to get rid of such in¬ 
fections while keeping treated birds on 
the premises. I can only suggest a con¬ 
tinuation of your care, with a little 
more disposition to use the axe. A bird 
that has once been infected with true roup 
remains a menace to the flodr for a long 
time, possibly for life. While apparently 
cured, the germs of the disease may linger 
in the secret'ons, only to produce a new 
outbreak when conditions are_ favorable. 
Few hens are of suffieient individual value 
to warrant their keeping on the premises 
.when mice infected with roup. K. B. O.
