Vertigo or staggers may proceed
from various causes. Badly fitting col
lars, plethora, diseases of the brain,
and even Indigestion may produce the
symptoms described. Look well to the
animal food, and see that it is of a
laxative kind; and also see that the
collar of the harness does not crowd
upon the jugular vein. The rubbing
of the hips and tail would indicate
that the parts are infected with para
sites. Wash the parts in carbolic soap
and warm water, and when the hair is
removed apply mercurial ointment, or

the rust are floating in the air at all
times, being very small and light, and,

colored plants. These are the rust. A
second stage of rust is supposed to. be
smut. There is much difficulty in study

fungi, and SO far we have no knowledge
OF any methods of preventing damage
to crops by them. Rusts of different
species affect the leaves of many plants
wheat. oats, the bean, strawberry, rasp-
berry, pear, apple, ounce, hawthorn,
mountain ash, oak, beef, cabbage,
fern, flax, barberry, rose, sorrel, thistle
and many others, both wild and cult

other plants than their own native sort
