leg must be thoroughly creased with
lard or oil in order to prevent the
caustic (should it escape) from ex-
coriating the skin over which it flows.
Twenty-four hours after the intro
duction of the caustic the plug is to
be removed and hot lamentations ap-
piled. AS soon as the discharge is
again established we must make an
other opening with the knife or seton
needle as low as possible, and keep
this open with a seton. The object OF
making the first incision on top is to
insure the retention Of the caustic
until it has attacked the entire inner
surface of the cavity. u this is done
the caustic causes sloughing of every
portion of the diseased parts, leaving
healthy graduating surface under
meath, which only requires that the
depending orifice be kept open and
the cavity washed out with weak
antiseptic solution once or twice
week to effect a cure.
1t is to be inferred from the forego-
ing that, even though fully established,
fistulae of the withers or poll are, in
the majority of cases, durable. They
often require much time and patient
attention. The sinuses must be opened
at their inferior extremity and kept
open. At first caustic injections or ap-
plications must be thoroughly applied
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-10-01

opened at it's lowest point. In this pro-
cedure lies our hope of speedy cure.
If the parts are so laid open by the
knife that the pus must escape as fast
as it is formed and where there is left
no possibility of it's burrowing between
the muscles, forming pockets or
sinuses, the parts rapidly and perma-
nently heal without any mediation
whatever, as though we had been
dealing with simple abscess of the
withers, and not true fistula at all.
Attention is again called to the d.
rections given above as to the neces-
sity of probing the cavity when
opened. If upon a careful examina-
ton with the probe we find that there
are no pockets, no sinuses, but SIM
pie, regular abscess wall, the indica-
ton for treatment is to make an
opening from below SO that the matter
must all escape. Rarely is anything
more needed than to keep the orifice
open and to battle or inject the parts
with some simple antiseptic wash that
is not irritant or caustic. A low
opening and cleanliness constitute the
essential and rational treatment. II
caustics are inserted, they cause
sloughing of healthy tissues and favor
the formation of sinuses by producing
sloughs below the point of incision.
If the abscess has existed for some

FlsTULA AND POLL EVIL.

The word fistula is properly applied
to sinuous pipes or ducts leading from
cavities to the surface of the body,
through which discharge is constant
ly taking place. They are lined by a
false or adventurous membrane, and
show no disposition to heal. Fistulae
may then exist at any part, but the
name has come to be commonly &C.
copied as applicable only to such dis
charges taking place from the withers,
and we shall refer to this location
when using the term.
Poll evil is a fistula upon the poll,
and in no sense differs from fistulous
withers except as to location. The de-
scription of fistula will apply then, in
the main, to poll evil as well. Fistulae
are particularly liable to occur at
either of these locations from the dis
position of the muscles and tendinous
expansions, which favor the burrow
ing of pus and it's retention.
In the earliest stage, when there Is
soreness, enlarged lymphatics, but no
well-marked swelling, the trouble may
be generally aborted. To do this re-
quires both general and local treat
ment. A physic should be given, and
the horse receive one ounce of pow
dered saltpeter three times day in
his water or feed. If the fever runs
high, 20-drop doses of tincture of AGO.

time and has not opened, it's walls be-
come thickened, the pus granular or
inspissated, then, after an opening has
been made by the knife and the con-
tents washed and squeezed out as thor
oughly as possible, the plan of treat
ment is materially different. There is
enormous thickening of the walls,
which must be destroyed and sloughed
out by caustics. The best plan here
is to make the first incision in the
highest point of the swelling, introduce
a piece of caustic potash fused) one
to two inches in length, carefully plug
the opening with oakum or cotton, and
secure the horse so he cannot disturb
the parts by rubbing or biting them.

STORY NOT HUMOROUS TO HER.
Rather Good Reason for Woman's
Lack Of Appreciation.

The man who had once been a high
school principal and had married one
OF his former pupils was in a remin-
scent vein. 81 think the funniest thing
In my teaching experience was during
an English recitation he said. 'It
was my custom to read the class a
little anecdote about celebrated man
and then ask them to write me para
phrase. This recitation chose tale
about Paderewski's love for ice cream
soda, and that upon leaving this coun-
try ne rushed into a drug store for
one more ice cream soda, which he
ate with great gusto.' I had the pa
pers passed around and the pupils
read one another's aloud What was
my amazement when one pupil read:
'Paderewski dashed into a drug store,
Just before he sailed for home, and
had some ice cream soda with his
friend, Gusto.'"
The former principal laughed long
and loudly and the guests joined in,
but his wife laughed not at all. You
see,' went on the former principal, 81
meant to inquire who wrote that pa
per, but it slipped my mind, and so
never knew who the crazy person
was"
Then the former principals wife
spoke: Samuel" she said, I've heard
you tell that story about twenty times
ever year of the five of our married
life. And every time you tell it it
grows less and less funny to me, for |
wrote that paraphrase, and I'm the
crazy person you're always wondering
about. Now l never wish to hear it
again"

The Bride Fell Down.

Sadly funny was little drama at a
recent swell wedding THE bride"
whispers woman who attended, was
costumed after the approved direc-
toire fashion, which calls for corsets
down to the knees, a collar up to the
eyebrows, and tight sleeves that pin
ion the arms to ones side She could
not manage her long skirt and she fell
fiat as she tried to reach the chancel.
Her father, who was giving her away,
was unprepared for the fall and was
dragged down by his white satin and
lace daughter This looks bad, not
for the bride, but for the costume.
The directoire woman simply can't sit
down, and when she walks she is in
danger of performing that clumsy and
sometimes dangerous feat known as
failing all over yourself"

NO CHANCE FOR A FILTRATION.
Railroad Restaurants in Cuba with jap.
anese and Chinese Servants.

When a crcss-country Cuban rail-
road train pulls into Las Tunas or
Ciego de Avila for the stop for food
the traveller alights, prepared very like
ly to be waited upon by a black-eyed,
red-lipped, dark-complexioned senorita
or perhaps by sturdy rascal of a
waiter, either Of whom is held to be
typical of Spanish-speaking country
Something to his surprise, then, he
discovers that the railway restaurants
are not served by Cubans or Ameri-
cans either.
The servants are Japanese or Chi
nese, sometimes both. 1t comes as a
shock to the traveller when he sees
the men of the Orient handing out the
food upon request and answering the
Cuban questions in Spanish and the
American interrogatories in English
Just how these folks happened to
come In no one seems to know There
are Japanese art stores that do bust
ness in Havana and also there are Chi.
nese in the laundry business.

Truly a ForgetfuI Man.

The most forgetful man has been
found. He lives in a little town in the
upper part of York county He fell
i'll with symptoms indicating appendi-
citis and submitted to an operation.
To their great surprise and embarrass-
ment the surgeons found that the ap-
pendix had already been removed The
patient afforded the necessary expla-
nation when he recovered from the
ether by stating that he remembered
then, come to think of it." that he
had been through similar operation
two years ago.
