WOUNDS OF HORSES
Punctured Injuries Involve Feet
Most Frequently.
0RIFICE IS USUALLY SMALL

Fork, Nail, Etc.-Symptoms
and Treatment.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Punctured wounds of horses are
much more common than others. They
are produced by the penetration of
sharp or blunt-pointed substance, such
as a thorn, fork, nail, etc., and the
orifice of these wounds is always
small in proportion to their depth.
They involve the feet most frequently,
next the legs, and often the head and
face from nails protruding through the
stalls and trough. They are also the
most serious, owing to the difficulty of
obtaining thorough disinfection and
the lack of attention that they at first
receive. The external wound Is so
small that but little or no Importance
Is attached to it, yet in a short time
swelling, pain, and acute Inflammation,
often of a serious character, are mani
tested.
The most common Of the punctured
wounds are those of the feet. Horses
worked in cities, about iron works,
around building places, ETC., are most
liable. to get mails in the feet" The
animal treads upon nails, pieces of
Iron, or screws, and forces them into
the soles of the feet. If the nail, or
whatever it is that has punctured the
foot, is fast in some large or heavy
body, and is withdrawn as the horse
lifts his foot, lameness may last
for only few steps; but unless prop
erly attended to at once he will be
found in day or two to be very lame
in the injured member. If the foreign
body remains in the foot, he gradually
grows worse from the time of pune
ture until the cause is discovered and
removed. If, when shOeing, a nail is
driven into the "quick" and allowed
to remain, the horse gradually evinces
more pain from day to day; but if the
nall has at once been removed by the
smith, lameness does not, as a rule,
show itself for some days; or, if the
nail is simply driven too close" not
actually pricking the horse, he may
not show any lameness for a week or
even much longer. Considering how
thin the walls of some feet are, the I'M
-dolhCoo VI indhy llOl oCo Nllllt SlOt4uk,
the ease with which a nail is diverted
from its course by striking an old
piece of nail left in the wall, or from
the nah itself splitting, the wonder is
not that so many horses are pricked or
nails driven too close" but rather
that many more are not SO injured. 1t
Is not by any means always careless
ness or ignorance on the part of the
5orseshoer that is to account for this
accident.
Productive of Lameness.
From the construction of the horses
loot (being incased in an imperme-
able, horny box), and from the elias
ticity of the horn closing the orifice,
punctured wounds of the feet are al
most always productive of lameness.
Inflammation results, and as there is
40 relief afforded by swelling and no
escape for the product of Inflammation,
this matter must and does burrow be-
.ween the sole or wall and the sensitive
parts within 1t until it generally
opens between hair and hoof." 1t

may thus be seen why pain is so much
more severe. why tetanus Qockjaw)
more frequently follows wounds of the
feet, and why, from the extensive, or
at times complete separation and cast
ing" of the hoof, these wounds must
always be regarded with grave appre-
henSiOn.

SUGAR CROP
IS DISAPPOINTING
EARLY ESTIMATES OF SEASON GRIND
PROVED LARGE-WEATHER TURNS
AGAINST THE PRODUCT.
(By Consul Harry Nj. Wolcott of Havana
in Commerce Reports.)

(By Consul Harry Nj. Nolcott OF Havana
in Commerce Reports.)
For the week ended January 5, 1917,
|112 Cuban sugar c~entrals were grinding,
as compared with 1877 in the correspond
ing week Of 1916. Twenty six mills began
operations during the past week. The ar
rivals of sugars of the present crop total
Il $50 tons, the figures for the CORE
spending date in 1916 being 1892 tons.
The early estimates of local experts for
the present years (l910 production were
between 1000 0 and COG. 900 tons in ex-
cess Of last wears record crop of $1,000, 900
tons. These estimates were usually CIV
en-, however. on condition that the wealth
er prove a. favorable a. last year, which
was abnornally good in that respect.
The actual results Of the grinding up
to date are decidedly disappointing. though
there is little doubt that the tonnage of
cane available for grinding is sufficiently
in excess of last years crop TO warrant
the optimistic estimates Of local authori-
ties. The final results will depend on
weather conditions for the remainder OF
the season. the labor supply, rendement
(sugar Yield of the cane, transportation
service, and other factors at present diff
cult or impossible accurately 10 predict.
Up 70 the present dry weather has been
~gencallv prevalent, but there has been q
ntable absence of the cool temperature US
ual i'll December and January. The conse-
%auence has been an average rendement be-
low normal.
The railroad strikes and other labor
troubles which occurred throughout the
island in December caused great Difficult

has been vexatiou- delays ia the i~n>talla-
tion of new machinery in many Of the

operations. While the railroad strikes
have been settled. the supply of labor for
the cane fields h. far below the demand

shortage VI available labor during the IN
tire campaign.
Considering all these facts, and count
INC on normal weather conditions late IN
the season. il now seems that the volume
Of the 1917 crop viii fall considerably
short of the first estimates, notwithstand-
inc the enormous tonnage of available cane
and the fact that l6 additional mills will
probably grind. Many well informed per
sons are now frankly predicting hat the
present crop will not much exceed that oi
19i5-16. However, il seems that such a
result could only be brought about by err
ceedingly unfavorable weather conditions
and other vital factors during the balance
Of the season.
