Fluid Food for Sick Horses.

In many instances the throat of horse
is so infamed from some cause that it i.
exceedingly difficult for him to swallow
food even in liquid state At such
times there is another grave difficulty
with horses that have never been accus
toned to liquid food, or to water that has
-four mingled with it. Iu cases where
the animal is possessed of an usual fasti
diOus taste, let the eyes be blindfolded So
that the brute cannot see the liquid thai
is offered Then allow him to taste ot
water as the pail is held up to his nose
and have another pail containing hay tea
which should be of the same temperature
as the water. 4 horse can often be de-
ceived by this stratagem, and thus be in
duced to drink gallon or more of the
liquid.
In many instances, horse can be in
duced to swallow thick Cruel when he
will not drink hay tea, or tea of linseed
meal. Wheat -four can sometimes be
mingled with water so that horse will
swallow all that may be desirable for him
to take. Tea made of linseed meal, OF
oil meal, or even cotton seed meal, may
be employed to make an excellent liquid
Tor horse that cannot swallow food
Let quart of the meal be put into tin
pail, with about two gallons or more OF
hot water, and let it be stirred rapidly as
the meal is put in. Then allow the mass
to stand for half an hour in the pail Gov
cred closely. Dilute with cold water
and hold up to to the animals nose. If
a horse ever refuses to drink the liquid
let his eyes be blindfolded If horses
have been accustomed to eat linseed meal
they will usually drink such liquid with
avidity.
When horse is suffering from distem
pei or sore throat from any cause, so that
the organs of degutition are SO
much infamed as to incapacitate the
beast from swallowing food, the strength
may be maintained entirely by preparing
liquid food For a change hay tea may
be prepared quite strong and given in
lieu of water. When horse refuses a
certain kind of liquid food, let another
be prepared. Beets, carrots, or other
roots may be reduced to pulp in extreme
cases for animals that cannot masticate
and swallow rough food. Let the roots
be boiled, and worked through colandcr,
some wheat -four or oat meal be mingled
with the mass. and water added to rem
der it of proper consistence for the ami
NAL to drink. A little fresh grass may
also be cut fine with sheep shears aud
mingled with the drink. A horse that
never tasted liquid food, by judIcious
management may be induced to drink all
the nourishment he may require.-Ne,o
York Times.

All through the Tropics, in fact, and in
hot countries, there seems of prevail

although the abundance Of natures pro-

such strange assistance. In Europe, the
use OF clay or earth has frequently been
resorted to in time of famine. Germany
saw it employed during the thirty years

ends of the fracture, did not After suf

the flesh on his arm, and cut the callous
part from off the ends Of the bones, pres

arm 10 splints. So they remained for
eighteen months, but still the bones did
not knit and the muscles of the arm be,

Mr.. Corey applied to Dr. Lane Of San
Francisco, who forthwith performed the
prettiest little job of surgical work man
ship conceivable. He opened the arm,
sprung out the end of the bones, and cut
ting off the callous parts, he beveled the
ends of the bones, so that each would lap
a little over the other. He then riveted
them together with silver wire, aud set
the arm in case. The bone then knit
and healed, leaving the arm two inches
shorter Mr.. Corey now uses his arm at
his work, and, with the limb useful again,
