Sometimes after death, on examination, the liver was found to be decayed; at other times the kidneys. Sometimes a blister will be found on one side of the lungs, the size of a hen’s egg, and as clear as crystal, and filled with a fluid. At other times it is nothing but a general debility of the system. TREATMENT. The colt should be drenched with half a teacupful of milk from the mare, which should contain, ½ teaspoonful of Ginger, 1 tablespoonful of the best grape wine. A charge should be spread on the loins which should consist of ½ lb. of Tar, 1 oz. of Rosin, 1 oz. of Beeswax, boiled into pitch, the whole covered with tow or wool, and the colt should be well attended to. They will sometimes recover in a few days. One came under my observation, that recovered after five weeks, and was sold for an extra price four years afterwards. CURE OF WOUNDS. Horses are sometimes exposed to much danger, and will sometimes receive the most extraordinary wounds. For the last ten years I have used very little else, than a solution of the chloride of Lime. It is a sure means of keeping out cold and inflammation. First clean the wound from all filthy matter, and bring it into a healthy state, and in this manner nature will heal it as soon as the best ointment in the world. Take chloride of Lime, 2 oz., dissolve it in 2 quarts of lukewarm water. Then wash out the wound once a day. If it is deep and runs, a syringe should be at hand in order to force the composition to every part of it in the inside. Should proud flesh spring up at the entrance of the wound, pulverized blue vitriol should be applied. In twenty-four hours after the application, you can rub off from one fourth to one half inch. Apply it again, until it gets below the surface of the skin, then apply a little tincture of myrrh. HINTS ABOUT FATTENING HOGS. Give your hogs an abundance of charcoal. If any should be foundered, take 2 ounces of Nitre, (salt-peter,) 1 ounce of Barbadoes Aloes, pulverize it very fine, and give the one fourth part of it every six hours. HINTS ABOUT SHEEP. Keep your sheep out of clover pasture. Scant blue grass is the pasture for sheep. Salt once a week. Raise the floor of your fold from four to six feet above the ground, board it only on three sides, and simply lath it on the south side, and your sheep will be healthy and without distemper. * * * * * ERRATA.--On page eleven, in the fifth line, instead of “entrance,” read “whole.” FINIS.
