| whose general condition every way is good
except that when ridden or driven the bowels
become loose and troublesome. feed on corn
oats, fodder and grass. Can you suggest any
remedy for the trouble?
l would discontinue the ration Of corn, give
sheaf oats, cut and mixed with wheat bran
and ground Oil cake. Give water only before
feeding him not afterwards. If this treat
ment falls OF good results, it must appear that
there is some constitutional weakness In the
horse In such cases, occasional light doses of
powdered OPIUM and baking soda might be
beneficial. Give these In the mixed feed Give
also salt, powdered charcoal and ashes and
do not overstan him in work or driving.

feed of both and calf. The disease is
caused by some impurity in the food. For
physic, use literally OF powdered chalk and
ground Oil cake; powdered rhubarb and pow
dered opium are also recommended IN half
dram doses. Common cooking soda mixed with
salt and fed with wheat bran is also recon-
mended. The best remedy for calf with
scours caused by running in grass, Is to feed
both and calf ON sheaf oats, and then give
all the salt the animal will take, occasionally
adding to this little soda and powdered
starch

peaches that grow on budded or grated trees

be like the original stock into which the bud
graft was placed?
There Is certainty to be attached to the
hearing of the tree that came from the seed

thrce-year old colt that breaks out in pinples
on neck and shoulder. The trouble appears
to annoy him very much. What Is the best
remedy?
Give few teaspoonfuls Of sulphur In his

the feeding trough, and allow him to lick of
this mixture several times weekly. Then rub
the affected parts with solution of carbolio
