From The Breeders Gazette.

From the BreeGer'S GhTaCe.
Shoulder lameness OF horses is not of
nearly so frequent occurrence as is gen.
orally imagined; but sometimes the
difficulty in ascertaining the real seat OF
lameness. when situated in the foot, has
occasioned many all ignorant smith to
refer the complaint to the shoulder; and
the poor animal has in consequence
been doomed to undergo the painful
operations of blistering, firing ana row.
cling. It is Of cansIde liable importance,
therefore, to be able to distinguish
sprains of the shoulders from other all
ments. Mistakes will seldom
occur if attention be paid
to the following symptoms:
When horse is lame in the shoulder
he drass his toe along the ground, from
inability Of the muscles Of the shoulder
TO lift the foot from the ground. If he
lifts his foot high, the shoulder cannot
be much affected. On waking down
hill he catches up the leg with con-
siderable Quickness. He will frequent
ly stumble on going up hill, ami will
make a shorter step with the lame leg
than with the other. He goes equally
lame on soft or hard ground, which IS
net the case when the lameness is III
the foot. In shoulder lameness there is
no difference in the temperature Of
the two fore feet.

Gapes In Fowls.

In a pamphlet recently published in
France On gapes in fowls it is claimed
that the disease is caused by the pres
ence in the trachea Of the fowls of
worms Of the genus syngamus. The
male and fe Lale WORMS attach them
selves to the mucous membrane of the
fowls breathing tubes. The female dies
and sets free her eggs by the decompo
sition OF her body. Under favorable
conditions these eggs will batch in from
twenty-eight to thirty days. The dis
ease may be communicated by food or
drink which has become infested with
eggs or embryos, or by the diseased
birds which are constantly dissemina-
ting the eggs Of the parasite. The same
authority says that q most effective REM
edy is rue and garlic given in the
.drinking-wat OF the fowls. Asafo etiaa
is also recommended, and is, as
nearly all poultry raisers know, an ex-
cellent medicine for this disease A pre-
pared food made of tgg yolk, nettle
leaves and garlic, pounded into paste
and then fed in the form of pills, had
also been; found effective. There is moth
ing new cont ined in the statements
above given, unless it be In naraing the
genus. which breed the worms causing
disease. Any farmers wife can tell the
jFreHvh gentleman that when her chick
ems have the gapes their threats are in
many cases so filed with, these worms
