BOne-SpavIn In Horses.

The following is q leading vetcr-
mary authority: The treatment tor
bone-spavin is essentially the same
as for any bone disease. In gen.
eral, lamentations or other sooth-
ing applications arc applied for a
few days, and the animal is kept on
a laxative diet. If no bony growth
has been formed, this may be all
tho treatment that is necessary.
But where, as is usually the case,
bony deposits have already been
formed, repeated active blisterIng
or, preferably, firing with the hot
iron, becomes advisable. An ex-
ceIlent blister is made by mixing
thoroughly two drains of canthari-
DIES, one ounce of lard, five grains
of camphor gum dissolved IN five
to ten drops of alcohol, and two or
three drops of oil OF peppermint.
Cut the hair from the part and ap-
ply the blister, rubbing it well
against the direction of the hair.
When the blister Is we'll raised,
wash off with castillo soap suds and
smear the part daily with vasillne
or fresh lard. The animals head
must be tied so that he cannot
reach the blistered surface with his
mouth. A second blister may be
applied when the effects of the first
have passed off. A rest of two or
three months or more will be nee
essary. If this does not succeed
have the SPAWN fred by n compc-
tent practitioner. Recent cases in
young ANIMALS in good condition
may be treated with q fair pros
pect of recovery; but cases of old
standing or on horses that are old
or out of condition, are usually
doubtful and mostly incurable.

IN the case of a horse, the frs
stages of hydrophobia are manifested
a. from fifteen to ninety days after
the animal has been bitten. He gen
orally shows a decided aversion to
water, not from the generally accept
ed theory that it is one of the delusive
forms Of mania, but from the fact
that one of the consequences of the
disease is that an exceedingly painful
Spasm Of the throat causes the animal
to suffer pain and eventually throws
him into convulslons. The sufferer
trembles or staggers, his eyes have
wild, fierce expression, he soon grows
furious and endeavors to bite or run
at and trample anyone whom he can
reach, he kicks violently, neighs,
jerks his muscles, and finally drops
paralyzed.

Did He Eat Too Much?
baltimore American.

Mince pie is one Of the relics of the
semibarbarous times. Hot-well, it
can absorb and conceal more heat
and keep it longer than any other
substance or combination Of substan-
ces ever invented. AND to digest IT
would throw saw-mill out Of gear.
It is rank poison. A mince pie was
never known to be off the fire. It
can gather Ia more heat to the square
inch and then can be packed or con
densed into the same space anywhere
else and project it with more cunning
than a live politician. Unless you eat
it with thermometer you had better
keep it on ice for a week previous to
using. Otherwise the coolest. looking
piece will slip as innocently into your
mouth as if it had been reduced to the
most comfortable temperature, but
when once in, it fairly bursts into
flames and stews the very water out
of your eyes
But this is not all the meanness of
mince pie, After it has burned and
tortured its victim into taking pledge
never to touch it again it gets in its
fine work on the digestive organs and
viii keep tramp awake all night
with indigestion. It is simply diabo-
ical, and should be relegated to the
list OF obsolete barbarisms
