Aphthp, or thrush. disease of the mouth is
very common among young horses 1t consists
of small red patches and vesicles on the inside
of the cheeks; also on the tongue The mouth is
hot and feverish. and the animal will frequently
allow the food to fall of it from inability to
masticate. The principal means to be employed
paste made oe equal parts of honey and
powdered bayberry bark. borax the parts to
be annointed every night. To promote healthy
action and purify the blood. give one eunce of
flowers of sulphur, two ounces of powdered
golden seal, and one ounce of powdered sassa-
fras, mixed and divided into four parts, mixing
one part in scalded shorts every night This
treatment applies to all classes of stock.
There is no doubt that colt sometimes suf-
fers considerable pain from teething, in conse-
quence of the resistance which the teeth
counter from unyielding gums. The pain does
not arise, as some suppose, from the point OF the
tooth pressing upward against the gum, but
from the downward pressure-the roots of the
tooth COMPRISING the dental nerve-consisting
in local irritation, which, if not relieved, de-
ranges part Of the whole of the nervous sys-
tenn. The remedy is a sharp gum lancet
Make an incision right down TO the point of the
tusk or TOOTH and the animal generally ex-
periences relief. If he labor under sympathetic
fever, appears irritable and nervous. give him q
drachm of asaf9tida, in thin gruel keep the
bowels soluble and let the diet be light.
Owing to the unequal wear of some horses
teeth their edges project and become sharp;
they are then apt to irritate and wo nd the
mucous membrane on the inside Of the cheek.

noticed. The remedy is mouth rasp.
Bishoping consists in making artificial marks
ON horses teeth to give them the appearance of
youth. 1t is a species of imposition so repre-
hensible that all honest horse deales have set
their faces against it. 1t is called 'Bishoping'
from the name of the seourdrel who in
vented it. The horse of eight or nine years
old is cast, and with an engrAver's tool, hole is
dug in the now almost smooth surface of the
corner teeth, and in shape and depth resembling
the mark in a seven year old horse. The hole ia
then burnt with heated iron, and permanent
black stain is left; the next pair of nippers are
sometimes touched to initiate the brown color of
the natural mark. However dexterously the OPP
Grafton may be performed, the fraud is easily
discovered by those who are in the habit of ex-
aiming teeth. If the horse is aged it may be
known by the general appearance, such as gray
hairs, sunken eyes, deep holiows above them.
The bones are prominent, lips fahby and the
nippers of the lower jaw, instead of appearing
angular, approach, AS the animal advances in
years, to the horizontal.
