Opinions differ concerning the ad-
yantages Of grinding grain as feed for
horses. For those out Of the Stable
during the day and worked hard 1t is
quite. generally believed that all grains,
with the possible exception of oats,
should be ground, and for those at sex-
itremely hard work the grotindl grain
should be MIXED With chaffed hay.
Fer idle horses oats or grain silouid
not be ground, nor Should hay or straw
be chaffed. When animals have time
to masticate their food thoroughly
grinding is not necessary When this
is not the case grinding takes the place
Of mastication to some extent and In

Lumgy Jaw Of Cow.

For lumpy jaw (actinomycosis) of
cattle the specific treatment is the
giving of one and half to two and a
half drains (teaspoonfuls) of iodide of
potassium, according to the size of the
cow, dissolved in water and given once
day, says the Atlanta Constitution. In
the course of eight or ten days there
will appear the peculiar signs of the
iodide, which consists in the skin be-
coming scurvy, weeping from the eyes
and nose and loss Of appetite. When
these symptoms appear. you should
stop the medicine for few days and
then begin again with the same dose.
1t will require from three to six weeks
treatment. Some cows do not respond
to this treatment. but most of them
do.
