AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Thriftless Mare 
I have a Toad mare seven years old. 
She is bred from trotting stock, tall and 
rangy. She ie always poor. For the 
last two Summers I have turned her out 
all the time; once in a while drive her to 
village. I have two other farm horses 
which are hog fat, but this mare gets me 
disgusted. In Winter time she is very 
poor. I had her teeth filed several times, 
but to no avail. L. s. 
New York. 
Some horses, like people, do not fatten, 
no matter how much they eat. The mare 
may be a nervous animal and if so may 
never put on flesh. Molasses may help 
her. Night and morning feed her a quart 
of blackstrap molasses diluted with three 
quarts of hot water, and then mixed with 
cut hay, cornmeal and wheat bran. Feed 
whole or crushed oats at noon and long 
hay at night. Increase the amount of 
molasses if found necessary. It may be 
necessary to starve her at first to take 
molasses feed, but soon she should take 
to it with relish and it is a wonderfully 
effective “plumper.” If it does not have 
that effect give her half an ounce of 
Fowler’s solution of arsenic twice daily 
in a little water, and if necessary grad¬ 
ually increase the dose. When no longer 
needed gradually discontinue the arsenic 
solution, taking 10 days or more to the 
process. 
Lymphangitis 
I have a horse weighing about 1.400 
lbs.; two years ago he had lymph agitis. 
lie has been taken with it aga . He 
has not been working much of late, so 
has been allowed to feed in the meadows; 
has been fed six quarts of oats. I have 
Timothy and Blue grass hay, also oat 
straw. Will you tell me what grain I 
should feed now, also what should be fed 
this Winter when working hard, also how 
to treat such a case, as veterinarians are 
very far away? Will this lameness be 
likely to come again? M. b. it. 
Maine. 
Attacks of lymphangitis (Monday 
morning disease) will not come on if you 
stop feeding grain when a horse is idle; 
feed bran, roots or silage, hay, or oat 
straw and corn stover at such times, and 
enforce active exercise daily. Feed oats, 
bran and ear corn in addition to hay 
when the horse works hard. If possible 
allow him a roomy box stall when in the 
stable. Treat a case by keeping a bandage 
of soft hay or straw rope upon the leg 
from foot to body, and keeping it con¬ 
stantly wet with cold water in warm 
weather, or hot water in cold weather. 
Give a tablespoonful of saltpeter in water 
three times daily. When soreness sub¬ 
sides bathe the leg three times daily with 
vinegar and water and allow walking 
exercise. 
Catarrh; Scours 
1. I have two heifers that caught cold 
in the Spring. One of them seems to be 
well from it. but the other one has a dis¬ 
charge of yellow matter from the nostril. 
She seems to get better, then if a rain 
comes and she gets wet the discharge is 
worse. I put tar on their noses and it 
seemed to cure one, but the other is still 
having the discharge from the nose. 2. 
We have lost several young pigs from 
looseness of the bowels. Their bowels be¬ 
come loose, they lose their appetite, waste 
away and die of weakness. I have tried 
several remedies, but they do not help the 
pigs. Let me know what to do for the 
heifer and pigs. w. H. 
Virginia. 
1. Have the heifers tested with tuber¬ 
culin. as tuberculosis is a possibility in 
such cases, and oeing incurable and con¬ 
tagious. one does not care to run chancee 
of infecting an entire herd. Meanwhile 
sprinkle a little chloride of lime upon the 
floor of the stall, under the bedding, and 
give half a teaspoonful of dried sulphate 
of iron and three of salt in the feed twice 
daily, provided the heifer is not in calf. 
2. Irritants or poisonous matters in the 
feed cause such looseness of the bowels. 
The cause, if possible, should be deter¬ 
mined and removed. Mix lime water 
freely in the slop. If that does not suf¬ 
fice. give each pig subnitrate of bismuth 
twice daily in any way found most con¬ 
venient. Start with 15 grains at a dose 
and increase the amount as found neces¬ 
sary. 
Stomatitis 
I have two horses with sore mouths; 
they seem to be like canker sores; no pus, 
but quite painful. I have used boric acid 
for a mouth wash ; also peroxide. Could 
you advise anything to do for them? I 
have been feeding stock food and hay. 
New York. j. F. B. 
Stop giving stock food, which is unnec¬ 
essary and may be causing the irritation. 
Also see that the hay is free from foxtail 
grass, needle grass or any other irritating 
plant. Scrape the ulcers and then swab 
them once with tincture of iodine. Then 
swab them twice daily with a 2 per cent 
solution of permanganate of potash, and 
several times a day place in the mouth 
some strained honey or molasses contain¬ 
ing a teaspoonful each of powdered borax 
and alum, per ounce.
