Reply-Thc punches are Iibrold tumors
cannot be said with certainty, but usually
they come from boilS that have not had a
chance 10 evacuate their pus. Such tumorS
arc most often seen In horses that have been
worked and an ill-httinG collar Is the In
6ucIng cause. We have seen them, however
under the skin In parts of the body that have
never been touched by the harness Tho
remedy is TO have them cleanly dlsscctod out
and the wounds treated and stitched in n
perfectly aseptc manner so that healing
may take place by first intention" without
formation OF pus causing the animal to
be laid aside from work for moro than very
few days. External applications will do no
good.

Some horses itch every time they are turned
on grass Others itch because lice are caus-
ing irritation. or when the tail and name
alone arc rubbed it is due TO nlth and
thorough washing followed by a free use OF
a creamy mixture Of flowers of sulphur and
raw lnseed oil ends the trouble In some
cases presence OF pinworms in the rcctum
tail rubbing, II that is So. Inject a
mixture of sOapy warm water, four quarts
pnd tobacco tea one cupful each other night
by means of clean hose and funnel. In
mares the tail rubbing sometimes is due to
collections of Nth about the udder, and that
part has TO be perfectly cleanscd. Where the
hair at the root of the tail stands erect. wind
strands oil IT around the fingers and pull un-
til the skin gives with crack. Repeat until
oil the hair has been treated This often
stops the rubbing. When chicken lice. horse
lice or mango is the cause OF rubbing the
horses should be clipped and dipped or
sprayed and scrubbed with a solution Of
coal-tar dip strengthened with free addl-
tion OF flowers of sulphur.
