A Lesson from Rabbit Soup 
Once upon a time the writer started 
farming on a new farm in a prosperous 
district of Illinois. On one field there 
was an old abandoned well, covered with 
boards and having a broken curbing, in 
which we afterward noticed a round hole. 
Time came when water from that well 
was needed, so a pump was inserted and 
a sample of the water taken. Whew! 
That water smelled worse than limburger 
cheese, and no doubt tasted as high, but 
we did not venture that test. Evidently 
there was something sadly amiss with 
that water, and as evidently it was unfit 
and probably dangerous for stock-water¬ 
ing purposes. Something had to be done. 
Did we open the top of the pump and 
through it pour or inject a disinfecting or 
antiseptic solution to purify the water or 
a caustic to “burn out the pipes?” We 
did not. Such a practice would have 
been foolish and working in the dark. 
Therefore a better treatment was applied. 
The covering of the well was removed 
and the pump pulled out. Then a lighted 
torch was lowered to determine if car¬ 
bonic acid gas (carbon dioxid) was 
present in sufficient quantity to extin¬ 
guish the light, and so prove that a man’s 
life would as certainly be extinguished 
should he descend into the well. The 
test showed conditions safe, and a man 
then went down and at once yelled back : 
“Why, the water is just rabbit soup!" 
Sure enough, that was true, for some 16 
dead rabbits in various stages of decom¬ 
position were floating in the turgid water. 
Dogs had chased the rabbits, and think¬ 
ing it a safe haven they had bolted into 
that hole in the well-curbing, fallen into 
the water and drowned. 
The cause thus discovered was imme¬ 
diately removed. Then the well was 
pumped dry and thoroughly swabbed 
with a solution of four ounces of sulphate 
of copper to the gallon of hot water, and 
given a coat of fresh-made limewash. 
When water filled in again formaldehyde 
was added freely, and the pumping pro¬ 
cess repeated, and after a few treatments 
the water came up clear, sweet and of 
normal smell. That water was safe for 
stock. The contaminated water might 
have proved deadly. 
And there is another valuable lesson 
to he learned from this experience. It 
applies to the condition known as fistula, 
wherever that occurs and pus is dis¬ 
charged from sinuses (pipes). In almost 
all of such fistula? a “dead rabbit” is 
present, and the true cause of the trou¬ 
ble. By “dead rabbit” in such cases we 
mean a snag, sliver, thorn, dead tissue, 
broken bone, or some foreign object or 
other. Treatment by injecting disinfect¬ 
ants, antiseptics or caustics is ill-advised. 
It is treatment in the dark. The sensible 
thing to do is to discover the cause, open 
the part, remove the “dead rabbit” 
and treat the wound in practically the 
same way that was done with the con¬ 
taminated well. Remember this in cases 
of poll evil, fistula of the withers or 
shoulder, and quittor, which is a fistulous 
condition of the hoof-head (coronet). 
Much time and work is uselessly expended 
in treatment that does not, promptly re¬ 
move the cause of the fis'tulous condi¬ 
tion. A. s. A. 
Tuberculosis 
I have a Guernsey cow which has a 
cough. She came iu fresh two months 
ago. Ever since the cough I gave her 
castor oil, also oil of tar on her tongue, 
but it does not help, and she is failing in 
her milk, and also getting very poor. 
When she coughs sometimes there is a 
white phlegm from her mouth. She 
coughs hard and breathes hard, and when 
in stable pants. All the cows around here 
had coughs this Spring. They are all 
right now, only my cow, and it sticks to 
her. w. c. 
Connecticut. 
There can be little question that this 
cow is badly affected with tuberculosis, 
which is contagious and incurable, and 
necessitates destruction of the affected 
animal. At once isolate the cow and 
cleanse, disinfect and whitewash the 
stable she has occupied. Do not use her 
milk, for that of a tubercular cow is 
highly dangerous to man and animals. 
To determine if the disease is present, 
have a trained veterinarian apply the tu¬ 
berculin test. At this season of the year 
it would be best to have the intradermal 
test applied, as temperature readings, 
such as are taken when the subcutaneous 
test is applied, scarcely can be considered 
reliable in very hot weather. If it trans¬ 
pires that tuberculosis is uot the cause, 
have the veterinarian make a careful ex¬ 
amination for other possible causes. This, 
however, usually is done before applying 
the test. a. s. A. 
Staggers 
A little mule colt now oue month old 
holds his head on one side, down to the 
ground, going around in a circle until it 
gets dizzy and falls. Then rests a little 
and repeats the circling around, keeping 
that way all day. What can be done for 
it? J.d. 
Indiana. 
Indigestion or poisoniug from constipa¬ 
tion, no doubt, has affected the brain. 
Infection of the navel also might tend to 
such symptoms. Chance of recovery is 
poor. A physic of castor oil in milk 
should have been given at once. It would 
also be well to paint the stump of the 
navel with tincture of iodiuc and then 
apply fine sifted slaked lime. Rectal in¬ 
jections of soapy warm water might help.
