Cure for Brittle Hoof..

Horses are frequently troubled with
brittle hoofs, caused by a deficiency of
water in the bone. This condition may
be caused by fever of the feet. as in
common founder. Inflammation of the
interior of the feet: exposure TO fer
menting manure of filthy stables. by
which the horn is saturated with
moisture containing ammonia 1t may
also be caused by leaving the feet
covered with mud, or by continued dry
weather or other unhealthy conditions
The horn may thus become dry and
graduated and often separates very
easily. crumbling and splintering away
until there is scarcely crust enough
left to fasten shoe upon
The remedy is to remove the cause
and restore the moisture. Frequent
washing of the feet with cold water
will aid materially in curing. Glycer-
inc and water in equal parts make ex-
cellent dressings for the hoofs.
