Mrs E. j. H., Stonewall, Ga.-Will some
one kindly answer me and give me some
remedy for disease that has appeared
among my young turkeys? This is the
second year | have noticed it. L have me
bronze turkeys, and feed my young ones
on curd entirely. [ take clabber and put
a little vinegar in it and put it on the stove
and cook it until the whey separates from
the milk They are very yer fond of sta ana
| in their feet Their toes begin to draw in
and curl up, and their knees swell and bow
out; it continues until they lose all use of
their feet. L had two affected this way
last year one died and the other had kill
| to the last, and they grew, but not so
fast as the others. l thought last year 1T
was rheumatism, but L have had fine
| quite two weeks old and the disease start
| ed at a week Old. L will be much obliged
| to some kind reader who will give any
! remedy for it,
| scripton for your turkeys, as we not
| familiar with their disease. We suggest
| that you change their food, or the manner
| of preparation. 1t is possible that the food
as you prepare it does not contain a suffi-
| cheney of the mineral or bone-making ele-
| ments. Also mix with their food the leaves
| of dandelion, chopped fine. Chopped net
! ties and onions are also good. DO not
| feed too much, little and often being the
! rule
I. NJ. d. Harlan, Ala Will you please
tell me some remedy that will move skip
| pers out of meat?
! 2. Please tell me what will move a knot
| OH of a mules shoulder that formed
| there by the collar. 1t swels by work and
| becomes sore. Any information will be
| gladly received.
| /. We know of on means of getting skip
| pers out of meat other than to dissect them
| out with a knife, in which you will be i'd
ed by using good syringe and boiling
| ter. Then thoroughly dry the meat and
| wrap nj thick paper, two thicknesses and
| slip into a bag and hang up.
| 2. If the swelling has become hard and
| caloused and feels like loose lump under
| the skin, the only way to remove it is to
| split the skin and cut out the lump with
sharp knife. Then dress it as you would
| ordinary wound. Keep off all pressure
| until fully healed lou may use u Dutch
| or breast collar until it is we'll.
L. S. H., Gllymphyille S. CT have a colt
one year Old; he has soft knot on his
|
| about the size of guinea egg. If you
| can tell me any remedy that will take it
| off, please let me know.
| 1t is probably what is known as splint
which is very common in horses that have
| seen much work. but not common with
| colts. 1t probably caused by a kick
| or a bruiSe from some injury. When first
| discovered, the proper treatment is the
! application of warm water three times
| day, half hour at a time, followed by
| lotion Of n
| muriate of ammonia and nitrate of potash
! dissolved in one quart of water. When the
! soreness is nearly gone, apply a blister of
! half an ounce powdered catharides and two
! ounces of lard. Mix and rub we'll in. Feed
| on soft, light food and permit moderate
! ercise.
r. S. r. Americas, Cal have a horse
| mule that is troubled at times like he has
! gravel lie stretches himself great
| many times, and cannot pass his water.
| / give him salt peter and watermelon seed
tea, and it relieves him for about two weeks
| also holds his head very high, and turns
| his upper lip UP like he smeIled something
| red Please give name Of disease and
| remedy.
| Suppression of urine or dvsuria common.
| " called gravel, may be due to one of
/ several causes, each requiring a different
/ treatment. The high color OF the urine
indicates probable congestion of the kid
| neys but this would likely prove fatal in
| d week or two. 1t may be caused by cal
| culis or bean, structure of the urethra.
| 1t is useless to prescribe on such an I'M
| certainty as to the cause.
| To w. T. n, Hamilton, Ga.-The speci-
| mems of seed pods and piece of stem of
! weed received. 1t is generally impracti-
! cable to name a comparatively unknown
| plant unless d specimen in flower be furn-
| ished. In this case the plant is probably
| a foreign weed, the seed having been in
| troduced with coffee other imported
! goods. To remove the rosin from your
| Sunday coat soak the spot in pure alco-
! hol for a few minutes, then rub with a
| sponge wooden cloth dipped in fresh
| alcohol. Generally ii can be removed with
| spirits of turpentine in the same way.
| To H. v n, Mormon, N. C.--Rye or oats
| soWn with peas at last plowing of corn
! would most probably be overTun by the
| peas. Our experience in sowing rye and
| oats earlier than September Gn growing
| corn and cottOn) has not been favorable.
If the rye Certainly the oats be sown so
! early as July, it will be almost certainly
killed by the hot sun and usual dry fall.
w. S. c., Burlington. n. CT have a
| mare with enlarged hook OF lett nlnd
| knee. She has as good use of that Joint
it. but does not back right; is not sore; it
is hard like a gristle; l do not know the
| cause Of it. She is SIX years old. Please
| give remedy. We are well pleased with
! your valuable paper.
Your description of the symptoms it ar
| pears that your mare has what is called
! capped hook" which may be easily re-
| HeVed if it has not run on too long which
! is probably the case, in which event moth
| ing is of any avail, except to disaeCt out
| the gristIY tumor with a knife, and this
must be done by a qualified veterinary sur
| gcon.
Mrs. p. A. A., Talulah, T. T.-Please in
form me through your paper what time
or how long after young turkeys are hatch
ed do they throw out the red ] have gone
into the poultry business to some extent.
| have about eighty or ninety young tur-
keys, and they doing very nicely. How
do we know. or by what way can we know
when it the red is thrown out.
At the age of nine or ten weeks from
Matching they will begin to put out the
red" and will continue until the young
turkeys are pretty well fledged. The pro-
cess shows for itself.
