![(V eterinary—Horses) 1 y>2 oz.; spirits hartshorn, 2 oz. ; spirits camphor, 2% oz. Mix. Liniments.—1.—Camphor. % oz.; tinc¬ ture of iodine, % oz.; tincture of capsi¬ cum, 1 oz.; aromatic spirits of ammonia, 1 oz.; tincture of opium, 1 oz.; oil of turpentine, 4 oz.; alcohol, enough to make 2 pints. Mix, putting in the oil of turpentine last of all. Rub well into the affected parts, once or twice a day. This liniment is excellent for sprains, stiffness, sore muscles from hard work and sweeny, big shoulder, fis¬ tula, etc., and, in fact, anywhere that a strong, penetrating liniment is useful. It is not suited for wire cuts and other wounds, however. 2. —Oil of turpentine, 1 fl.dr.; oil of thyme, 1 fl.dr.; crude oil of amber, 1 fl.dr.; black oil, 2 fl.dr.; kerosene oil, 6 fl.dr.; water, 6% fl.oz.; soap, 70 gr.; caustic potash, 6 gr. Place the soap and the potash in a flask and dissolve in two ounces of hot water; mix the oils and add to the solution gradually, with vigor¬ ous shaking, and lastly add the water, continuing the agitation to make an emul¬ sion. 3. —Rape seed oil, 2 fl.oz.; soft soap, 3 oz.; oil of turpentine, 10 fl.oz.; stronger water of ammonia, 2% fl.oz.; acetic acid, 2 fl.oz.; camphor, 3 oz.; alcohol, 4 fl.oz.; rectified oil of amber, 2 fl.oz.; water suffi¬ cient to make 40 fl.oz. Rub the soap gradually with 5 ounces of water to form a smooth jelly ; add the alcohol with the camphor dissolved in it; mix the turpentine and oil of amber, and add gradually to the mixture with con¬ stant stirring, aiding the emulsification by the occasional addition of a little water. Then add the ammonia and trans¬ fer to an emulsion machine or large bottle, subsequently adding gradually the acetic acid diluted with 8 ounces or more of water, continuing the shaking. Add the eggs one by one and finally make up to 40 ounces with the water. 4. —A good stimulating liniment is made of castor oil, 2 fl.oz.; rape seed oil, 2 fl.oz.; oil of turpentine, 2 fl.oz.; stronger water of ammonia, 3 fl.oz.; water, 3 fl.oz. Mix the oils and add the water and ammonia. Nasal Gleet (Merritt). — Aloes, 6 drams ; nux vomica, 20 gr.; linseed meal, 4 drams. Make into bolus. One every night.—Am. Drug. Physic Balls.—Barbadoes aloes, 2 oz.; powdered ginger, 1 oz.; ol. cloves, 1 dram ; soft soap, q. s. to mass. Divide into sizes as required, and bear in mind (Weeds) a pony does not need as much as a heavy cart horse ; if pressed for time, the above will mass well with a little soap liniment instead of using soft soap. The balls should be rolled in licorice powder and wrapped, first in waxed paper, paste the edges, then in white paper, the latter to be removed before giving the ball. A bran mash is usually given about two hours after or the next morning. Pleurisy (Vansant).—Tincture aconite root, 12 drops; tartar emetic, 30 gr.; powdered ginger, 30 gr.; linseed meal, 4 drams.

WEEDS Most of the following directions for exterminating weeds are taken from Farmers’ Bulletin 28, entitled ‘Weeds and How to Kill Them,” by Lyster H. Dewey: For the complete eradication of a nox¬ ious plant the production of seeds must be prevented, and if the plant is a bien¬ nial or a perennial the root, bulb or root stock must be killed.
