Is Hollow Horn ~ Myth?

]
TO the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In the weekly issue Of the Dispatch OF
the 18th instant your correspondent j.
NJ. c., in reply to some veterinary sur
gcOn who denied the existence OF such
"A disease ass hollow horn among cattle.
asserts that a case came under his oh
scrvaton. which was relieved by boring
the horns
In order 10 procure scientific infOrma-
ton on this disputed question you adj
dressed note of inquiry to the Hon.
II. T.. Salmon. Of tho United states Agri-
cultural Bureau. ana his decision was that
there was no such disease as hollow horn
among cattle, as evidenced in that portion
Of the department in which diseases Of
cattle were catalogued ana described,
ana that it was only a conception Of the
ignorant
/ In an experience Of forty or fifty years
have seen "a great many cases Of hollow
horn, and can fully endorse the diagnosis
and treatment piven by i. NJ. q.
There IS a continuity Of mucous Nom
hTanc from the outer aspect OF the nasal
channels up through the head. Cranial
snews and into the horns, and. perhaps
I'm the two latter it is changed into serious
membrane.
In hollow horn the disease begins in the
norm anu bfSttIIN 10 Allt tidIiidt SiilhSN0'
when the animal becomes morose. listless,
ana lowers its head, the eyes becoming
dazed and CLASSY I'm appearance, ana the
entire nervous system becoming involved.
II trembles. shakes It's head, and is some
times disposed TO fight. and at times be-
comes almost blind. As the disease pro-
crosses the inner lamino OF the horn
breaks down from imperfect circulation
OF the usual quantity of blood, which is
absorbed or passes through the head and
out from the nostrils in the form OF
purulent discharge. This process produces
the holloWncss in the horn, which the
veterinary surgeon fails TO recognize as a
prominent factor in this disease.
Boring the horns just under the curve
til the hollow is reached with large
size a.ilnlet or brace-and-bit, and keeping
the hol. open for two weeks or ten days,
SO that the air may have free access 10
the hollow Will generally cure the
animal
Hollow horn Is not myth. but
reality; q distinct disease incident 10
horned cattle. In severe cases OF this
disease the horns are always cold down
70 the head. and in a very short uine
after being bored vitality is restored TO
the bony structure once more, and me
horns grow warm again. as the animal
improves in health.
1 think 1t r. now in order for the Hon.
u. T.. Salmon TO revise his opinion rela-
tive TO hollow horn" although only
is recognized by the ignorant

a VIII Case.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

n none OF the heirs wanted It at GER

and executor bid on it and bought IT.
This was said TO De Illegal. because the
executor bought II from himself. There
were other bidders, and II can be proven
that the land brought a fair price. Two
Of the heirs are infants. II the Court
confirms the sale viii the executor pur-
chaser have Il genuine title to the land?

VI. IN the case stated was judicial sale
and subject to confirmation by the
Court. and It was shown to the Court
that The price offered by the executor
was fair price and the best that could
be obtained, and that the executors had
used all possible means TO obtain n
better price. then the Court would CON
firm the sale. although purchased by
the executor. II so confirmed. and all par
tics interested were properly parties to the
suit then the executor would get good
title to the land. and his vendee would
also. as n matter Of course. The Court
would. however. require very strict proof
OF the utmost good faith on the part Of
the executor. If the sale was not judi
cial sale, but one made by the executor
under the Will then it would be very I'M
safe for 70 purchaser TO take the land. as
the infants. when of age might object to
the sale. and would probably do so should
the land enhance in value.

Trade I'm virginia Last WecEs

The Snow-C Church Company's weekly
Review OF Trade is as follows: The gen.
eral trade for the week has shown no ma
terial advancement over last week. job
bers are complaining of decrease In the
number of orders. and while they have
been kept busy filling orders for the pres
ent and future shipments, yet depres-
sion among the country merchants Is no.
ticeable. A continued hopeful feeling,
however. exists, and dealers are confiding
in a better trade as spring opens.
Inquiries for groceries, supplies, shoes,
and dry goods have been fair. while to-
bacco dealers and manufacturers speak OF
a continued fair trade. and are also look
ing for an increase Of business later on.
Norfolk trade reports a fair business,
with indications for better trade In the
near future. Inquiries for prices have
been better for the week, and merchants
generally feel encouraged.
Petersburg trade stands on basis with
former weeks. with business quiet and
collections only fair. Tobacco is selling at
usual prices. but general outlook for trade
better.
Collections show n slight increase over
the past two or three weeks. and reports
generally from attorneys show hopes OF
larger percentage In the future.

tainable, we Judge. through members OF
Congress. Attention In called In the book
TO the fact that this report Ia issued SIX
months nearer the date TO which IL applies
than any previous statistical report pub
Ilshed by the commission. Railways are
not required TO file their reports until two
and one half months after the close OF
the fiscal year ending June Goth. and. as
matter OF fact many roads do not file
them until from six TO ten months after
that date. In this lies the chief cause or
delay, and until the prompt filing OF re-
ports can be secured IL cannot be over

reliable statistics II has been found that
from eight TO nine months are required
after the reports are fled for their proper
verificatlon, adjustment. and tabulation.
and the necessary time for printing.

ARRESTED FOR LARCENY.
A Saloon Boy on the Boston Boat Accused
of Robbing Passengers.

The other day, man who gave the
name of George F.Gould, belonging in
East Boston, and passenger on the
boat from Boston, was arrested and
brought before the United States COM
missioner here on charge OF picking
the pockets of passengers, but the evil
dence was not sufficient to hold him.
One of the men who made the COM
plant against Gould was Rufus Up
shaw, young man who is employed on
the boat to take charge of certain
number of staterooms. Yesterday Up
shaw was arrested on charge of steal
ing 500 from a passenger. No money
could be found on Upshaw, but in one OF
the staterooms confded to his care
was found a gold hunting case watch,
with about SIS wrapped up in one of
Upshaw's handkerchief. To the watch
was attached chain and charm, the
latter a heart-shaped moonstone, encir-
cled by a heavy gold ring, that had a
small emerald set in it. Upshaw denied
any knowledge of the jewelry or how it
came there. He is from the Provinces,
and has been with the company only a
year or two.
