nail puncture or a bruise. IL an animal
becomes suddenly and severely lame
and there be no evidence of anything
in any other part of the leg, such as
swelling, heat and pain upon pressure,
it is always well to look for puncture
in the foot. If the animal stands with
the lame foot extended and when walk
ing places the lame foot well forward
and brings the well foot up to it. the
evidence of puncture is still stronger
To examine the foot properly the shoe
should be removed. 1t is not sufficient
to merely scrape the bottom of the foot
clean. for if the nail has pulled out and
the horn sprung back in position, all
trace of its entrance may have been
obliterated. To examine the foot
properly pair of large pincers or a
hammer is necessary. The former is
the better. as by COMPRISING the hoof
the exact spot may be found, while
tapping the sole with a hammer may
cause the animal to evince pain. even
though the tapping is not directly over
the injury; but with little care the
spot may be definitely located with
either instrument. If the injury is Of
few days standing additional heat in
the hoof and perhaps slight swelling
in the pastern may also be present.
TREATMENT.
When the point Of the puncture has
been ascertained the horn should be
pared out so as to leave AN opening for
the escape Of all matter, This opening
need not be larger than an ordinary
sized lead pencil. The practice of burning
out this hole with hot iron or by the
use of caustics is very Objectionable
and useless. a solution of carbolie
acid lone part of acid to twenty-five Of
water) may be used to wash the wound
af the animal be kept in clean place,
Ind the wound washed once day
with the same solution, rapid recov-
cry is usually the result In cases
where the lameness is severe, poul-
tice of wheat bran or linseed meal may
be applied for day or two. but should
not be kept up for longer period
PROUD FLESH.
In those cases where the lameness
subsidies, but luxuriant granulations of
proud flesh" spring up and fiji the
opening in the horn, they may be cut
down by hot iron to a point level
with the inner or deeper surface of the
horny sole. Then the cavity should be
filed with balsam of fir. pad Of cot
ton placed over It, and over all piece
of good firm leather, which may be held
in place by shoe. The main point in
the treatment of nail puncture of the
foot is to give free exit to all matter
that may collect, and keep the part as
clean as possible. If this be done, the
matter will not be compelled to work
out at the heels, and no separation or
loss Of hoof win occur.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-One of the
most interesting contract laborers in
vestigated at Ellis island was made
public by Commissioner Senner today.
Some time ago Mrs Richard Cambria,
who owns a beautiful home on Park
avenue, went to Switzerland, and there
left an order with a fashionable deco
tor manned Schulthess for several thou
sand dollars worth of material to be
shipped to New York and used in COM
pleting the appointments, equipments
and decorations of her home. She also
requested that five artisans accompa-
ny the material to put lit up and touch
Ellis island officials are convinced that
in asking these men be sent over for
three months the lady was unaware
she was violating the law. Inspector
James McKinnon learned the mission
of the laborers and held them at Ellis
island: Today they were tried before
a board of special inquiry.
W. j. O'Brien, of the board of walk
ing delegates, accompanied by dele
gates from as many trades as were
represented by the material imported,
went to Ellis island and demanded
that the five men be deported
Evidence produced showed that the
wages of American mechanics in the
lines of trade interested are from So to
$3.50 per day, while, according to their
own admissions, the five men were to
receive but Swiss rates of $120 to SO. 40
per day. They were also asked to work
longer hours than is customary with
workmen of their class in this country.
The men will be deported.
