Inflammation Of the Joints Of Horses.

In Inflammation of joints, the result
of sprain or conclusion, there is often
great tendency to an adventititous
growth of fibrous tissue. which subse.
quently becomes converted into kind
of cartilage, and by further change
into bone. Small bony tumors are Oc-
casionally found on the substances OF
fibrous tissue floating loosely in the
stifie, also in the hook joint. In severe
injuries to joints, whether from concus-
sion or blows, there is often more OF
less Inflammation of the bony structure
and of the membrane which invests the
bone, as frequently shown by the throw
ing out of bony matter and by its de-
priving the joint cartilages of their
proper nutriment, whereby they become
liberated. Such results are frequently
the effects of kick, especially when
near the stifie or some other joints, the
symptoms of which for the first week or
ten days may not. to the inexperienced,
appear to be serious, as the animal may
be scarcely lame or suffer much pain
until the bone becomes so much inflamed
that it may be quite impossible to pre-
vent liberation of the joint cartilage.
The treatment of injuries to or near to
joints, also of open joints, should at first
be treated by unabrupted cold applica-
tions. This may be most conveniently
effected as follows: On the floor of the
loft over the horse, or in some manner,
fifteen or twenty feet above the stable
floor, place large tub, to the bottom OF
which connect an india-rubber tube OF
small hose with a brass top and cock.
By means of strings fastened to the
hose, this can be fastened either to a
crupper strap or to surcingle, and
again with strings loosely tied to the
limb in such q manner that constant
small stream of water can traverse the
injured parts. 1t should be so arranged
that there is ample hose to allow the
animal to lie down, without destroying
the fixings. In cases where the injury
is of dangerous nature, the water may
be thus supplied during the whole of the
day, and continued daily for month, il
necessary; that is, if we see there is suf-
ficient pain in the part to induce the
animal to hold his foot off the ground
more or less. Should the pain continue
longer than about that time, we may
have recourse to blistering over very
large surface round the injured part,
and repeat the blister as often as may
be necessary. If the injured joint is one
which will admit of a linseed-meal poul-
tice being easily applied by night, it
should be done. Only in the most Sc
we're cases is it necessary to continue the
cold water application for month, but
under this treatment cases often recover
which would not be cured by any other
means. In severe injuries it is often
necessary to put the horse into sings,
more especially if the injury be to a
hind leg; also to remove all the shoes to
prevent founder-Prdarie Farmer.

Uses for Stale Bread.

There are so many ways to utilize
stale bread that it seems wonder SO
much is wasted in many households.
We see it thrown in garbage pals, OF
left to mold by many an economical
servant, who would gladly use it if she
only knew what to do with it.
1t makes delicious griddle cakes when
soaked soft in cold water Three small
slices, with water enough to cover them.
should be sufficient, when the milk ard
flour are added, to make nearly two
quarts of batter. Some cooks prefer to
put in one egg, While others like them
fully as well without. When the bread
is soaked soft, make it fine with spoon,
add the milk and sufficient flour to
stiffen enough so the cakes can be east
" turned. If sour milk is used add to
the batter one even teaspoon of soda.
This is good plan to follow in all uses
of sour milk, as it seldom contains
enough acid to entirely counterfeit the
soda. Of course, when only a small
quantity of sour milk is used, twice as
much cream tartar as soda should be
taken, for when the milk is entirely
sweet the proportions are three even
teaspoons of cream tartar to one OF
soda.
French toast is always favorite dish
with children and most grown people,
and can be made of thin slices cut from
4 stale loaf and moistened in milk and
egg-two eggs to q pint of milk-and
then fried on griddle with mixture
Of butter and lard, or butter and beet
irippings. 1t is eaten with sugar OF
syrup like griddle cakes.
OF course all our readers are familiar
with the ordinary bread buildings, a
recipe for one variety been given in the
Cabinet of September, 1882; but all may
not know that pieces of bread which are
not too hard can be made into a resem-
blance to turkey dressing. Cut your
bread into dice, and if You have guam
tity of gravy from which fat can be
taken, left from any kind of roast
Though a piece of butter will do as
welD, thoroughly grease the bottom OF
a spider; put in the bread. with some
little chunks of butter and plenty OF
seasoning, then pour enough boiling
water on it to moisten it; cover tightly,
and in moment it will steam through
and YOU can stir it and either brown
little or have it moist like dressing. 1t
should be eaten with gravy over it, and
is good substitute for potatoes.
The little dry hard pieces and crusts
which always accumulate can be put on
n pie tin in an oven that is just hot
enough to dry and make them light
brown, then roll them fine and put
away to use in making coquettes. fry
ing fish, etc. We have recently learned
that these slightly Drowned crumbs
make excellent griddle cakes, with the
addition of one egg and handful of
-four, and milk to make batter; but
as we have never tasted them, we can
only recommend it as worthy of trial.

determined so many persons to put an
end to their existence; but in some
cases no motive whatever could be as
