Treatment of Horses

LAMENESS AND DI^EA'ESOF THE FOOT. Lameness is not a disease, bat a gym . lorn of some disease, usually m th» leg or foot, and generally is an rvi(i-r>c« of ptin. The cause of lanjnness is not al ways to be found m the leg or foot,, »s lameness is sometimes due to d's-'ase of the liver or kidneys ; neither is it always an evidence of pain, ac there is median i cal lameness, doe to some altera'i'in m structure id the foot or at a joint, which hrn become the sequel to gome p&ii.-fnl condition. An old standing case of ring bone is an example of this To fur ners and especially those who rear young animals puitable for town work, the two diseases of the feet of most importance are side bone sud ring bone, and al though their cur? is not an easy matter, their prevention is not impossible. side bone; Is technical'y known es ossification of the lateral, cartilages, which simply means that the two pieces of gristle or cartilage which prolong »he wings of ths coffin bone backwards, become, changed into bone. Th*- u«e of these cartilages m to »ct as a sort of spring m the toot, fttid when the animal places its weight on the foot they yield, giving feo the liorse its characteristic, free, springy motion. If they become unyielding be entile of being changed into bone this free action is lost, and because of the pain occasioned by the change from cartilage to bone the animal goes lame. The cause of the change is an injury to the cartilages, «tid it depends upon the severity or the iijnry how much rf the cartilage is so changed—thus we ha?e SMALL AND BIG BIDS BONES. The most frequent cause of Injury Is horses tramping and treading on their own heeia, especially when yoked m a grabber or other agricultural implß -meat requiring three horses abreast. Another common opportunity for such tramping ia given when the ploughman turns hie horses too sharply at the end of the 4 rig/ and farmers having an interest m thnir horses should advise their men to takd a little more time m laming, and perhaps a little lesa time when they have turned. Taking time and steadying the animals when turn ing is by far the best preventive 1 know of side bone. Ring bone ia an extra growth of bone on the pastern, short pastern, or on the top of fcha coffin boae, nod from its position is re ferred to as HIGH OB E.OW RING HOSE Its history is rather diffident from that of side gone, bat is similar to that of splint or spavin, ond the little extra growth of bone to be felt m either of these diseases is sitrply an effort of nature to repair an injured part. The cause of the injury m ring bone or spavin may be a sadden twist, or sprain, or a blow, but m splint it is usually concussion, Shoeing wlfcb too high heels and toes will sometimes cause side bone or ring bone. Just, as turning too sharply is a prolific c&uxe of side bine, ao ia tbe bad practice of kicking horses on the ft-tlccka n com mon cause of ring bone. One kick will do little harnc, but the mw who can kick once wiil kick again, and THE REPEATED KICKING causes so much Injury th<t nature m her effort to repair the damage causes a considerable enlargement to take plaepi As this new growth of bone extends more or less round the pastern bone, and sometimes spreads to the coffin bone, the narao ring bone h*s been given to the altered condition. Both'side bone and rirg bone are often said to bo hereditary, and ran m certain families, bat this ia not alt - get-ber correct. The disease itsell is t never handed down from parent to ! off pring, but the predispngrion m the way of enrtain c information or shape j of the feet ami joint* is undoubtedly heredit^y, and quite, ch-racferistic of certain families Thus an animal born with stmight paHterns wili sooner or later develop ring bone, because from the position of the pastern bone too much weight is thrown on the front, and this, becoming injured, ia rsoaired by nature, leaving a sickening. Another common disease of the feet is OOBNS, and although perhaps not so serious fti ring bone, it causes Sameness and constitutes lameness. A corn m a horse is quite different from a corn In the human subject, for m the latter it la a hard excessive growth of the akirt, whereas m the horso ifc is a bruise, and exactly similar to a bruised nail m man, Corns are found usually on the inside tieela of the fore feet-, and are most j frfquently produced if allowing the , shoes to remain too long on the feet.! The wall m time grows away from, and even over, the ahow, thus allowing the Iron to rest on the sole, and as most of the weight of the animal falls on the inside vi the limbr, the inside heel bseomea bruised, constituting a com. Of course an animal may tramp-on a stone and bruise its heel, but although the method may be different TH>5 CAUSE IS ALWAYS THE SAME— a bruise. Oorns are often said to be hereditary, but again this is not correct. It is only the weak sole, particularly liable to become bruised, that is here ditary. The prevention consists of paying attention to the shoeing, and, if the sole be weak, protecting it by a leather sole. Corns are not easily cured, and there ia an old saying, once a corn, always a corn, but much can be done by keeping the horn over the bruised epot well pared, removing all pressure, and protecting ifc by tow, tar, and a leather soU:— People's Journal.
