Among More Common Causes Acs Chafing by the Halter or Heavy Bridie, Blows From Whip and Horse Striking Head. (Prepared by the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture.) The word tistulu is applied to any ulcerous lesion upon the external sur­ face of tlxe body which Is connected by ducts, or passages, With some Internal cavity. Fistulas may exist in any part of the body, but the name has come to be commonly accepted as applicable only to such lesions when found upon the withers. Poll evil is a fistula upon the poll, and iq no sense differs from fistulous withers except in location. The description of fistula will apply, then, in the main, to poll evil equally well. Quittor presents the character­ istic tubular passages of a fistula and may, therefore, be considered and treated as fistula of the foot. Fistulous passages may also be developed upon the sides of the face, through which saliva is discharged instead of flow­ ing into the mouth, and are cabled sali­ vary fistulas. A dental fistula may arise from the decay of the root of a tooth. Again, a fistula ir sometimes noted at the navel assa iated with hernia, and fistulas have been devel­ oped In mares, following difficult partu­ rition. Fistulas may arise from wounds of glandular organs or their ducts, and thus we have the so-called mammary or lacrimal fistulas. Fistulous tracts are lined with a false membrane and show no disposi­ tion to heal. They constantly afford means of exit to the pus discharged by the unhealthy parts below. They are particularly liable to develop at the withers or poll because of the ex­ posed positions which these parts oc­ cupy, and, having once become located there, they usually assert a tendency to further extension, because the ver­ tical and laminated formation of the muscles and tendons of these parts allows the forces of gravitation to as­ sist the pus In gaining the deeper-lying structures and also favors Its retention among them. Causes. Fistulas follow as a result of ab­ scesses, bruises, wounds, or long-con­ tinued irritation by the harness. Among the more common causes of fistula of the poll (poll evil) are chafing by the halter or heavy bridle; blows from the butt-end of the whip; the horse striking his head against the hayrack, beams of the ceiling, low doors, etc. Fistulous withers are seen mostly In those horses that have thick necks as well( as those that are very high in the withers; or, among saddle horses, those that are very low on the withers, the saddle here ridlnp forward and bruising the parts. In either of these locations ulcers of the skin, ok simple abscesses, if not properly and punctually treated, may become fistu­ las. They are often caused by bud- littlng collars or saddles, by direct in­ juries from blows, and from the horse rolling upon rough or sharp stones. The pus burrows and finds lodgment deep down between the muscles, and escapes only when the sinus becomes surcharged or when, during motiou of the parts, the matter is forced to the surfaee. - - * Symptoms. These, of course, will vary accord­ ing to the progress made by the fistula. Following an Injury there may be sore­ ness or stiffness of the front legs, and upon careful examination of the withers small tortuous lines running from the point Of irritation downward and backward over the region of the shoulder may be seen. These are swol­ len and painful to the touch. In a day or two a swelling is noticed on one or both sides of the dorsal vertebrae, which Is hot, painful, and rapidly en­ larging. The stiffness of the limbs may disappear at this time, and the heat and soreness of the parts may become less noticeable, but the swell­ ing remains and continues to enlarge. A fistulous ulcer of the poll may be first Indicated by the opposition which the animal offers- to the application of stable brush or bridle. At this time the parts are so sore and sensitive that there Is some danger that unless han­ dled with the greatest care the patient will acquire disagreeable stable habits. The disease in its early stages may be recognized as a soft, fluctuating tu­ mor surrounded by inflammatory swell­ ing, with the presence of enlarged lymphatic vessels and stiffness of the ijfttfr." "Letter th% ^inflammation of the surrounding tissues 9Ja>* disappear, leaving a prominent tumtfk The swell­ ing, whether situated upon the hefr& or the withers, may open and form a rum ning ulcer, or Its contents may dry„up and leave a tumor which gradually de­ velops the common characteristics of a fibrous tumor. When the enlarge­ ment has opened, carefully examine Its cavity, as treatment will depend whol­ ly upon its condition. Treatment. In the earliest stage, when there is soreness, enlarged lymphatics, but no well-marked swelling, the trouble may frequently be aborted. To do this rer quires both general and local treat­ ment. A physic should be given, and the horse receive one ounce of pow­ dered saltpeter three times a day In his water or feed. If the fever runs high, UO-drop doses of tincture of aconite root every two hours may be administered. The local application of cold water to the inflamed spot for an hour at a time three or four limes a day, has often proved very beneficial, and has afforded great relief. Cooling lotions, muriate of ammonia, or saltpeter and water; sedative washes, such as tincture of opium and aconite, chloroform liniment, or cam­ phorated oil, are also to be frequently applied. Should this treatment &il to check the progress of the trouble, the formation of pus should be hastened as rapidly as possible. Hot fomenta­ tions and poultices are tOv^e constant-; ly used, and ̂ s soon as the presence of j pas can, be detected, the abscess wall Is to be opened at its lowest point. As with any simple abscess, if drainage can be so provided that the pus will run off as fast as formed without re­ maining within the interstices of the tissues, the healing will be rapid and satisfactory. ~ r- Application Causticj ̂ ^ ̂ If the abscess has already o^eHai^, giving vent to a quantity of purulent matter, and the pipes and tubes lead­ ing from the opening are found to be extensive and surrounded with thick fungoid membranes, there is consider­ able danger that the internal ligaments or even some of the bones have be­ come affected, in which case the con­ dition has assumed a serious aspect; Or, on the other hand, if the abscess has existed for some time without a rupture, its contents will frequently be found to consist of dried purulent matter, firm and dense, and the walls surrounding the mass will be found greatly thickened. In such a case the application of caustics will cause a sloughing of all of the unhealthy tis­ sue, and will also stimulate a rapid increase of healthy material to replace that destroyed in the course of the de­ velopment and treatment of the dis­ ease. Threads or cords soaked In gum- arabic solution and rolled in powdered corrosive sublimate may be Introduced into the canal and allowed to remain. The skin on all parts of the shoulder and leg beneath the fistula should be carefully greased with lard or oil, as this will prevent the discharge that comes from the opening after the caus­ tic Is introduced from irritatlpg <h blistering the skin over which it flows. In obstinate cases a place of caustic potash (fused) 1 to 2 inches in length may be introduced into the opening, and should be covered with oakum or cotton. The horse should then l>e se­ cured so that he canndt reach the part with his teeth. After the caustic plug has been in place for 24 hours, It may be removed and hot fomentations ap­ plied. As soon as the discharge has become again established the abscess should be opened from its lowest ex­ tremity, and the passage thus formed may be kept open by the introduction of a seton. . If the pipes become estab­ lished in the deep tissues beneath the shoulder blade or among the spines of the vertebral column, it will often be found impossible to provide proper drainage for the abscess from below, and treatment must consist of caustic solutions carefully Injected Into all parts of the suppurating sinuses. A very, effective remedy for this purpose is one ounce of*chloride of zinc in half a pint of water, injected three times during a week, after which a weak so­ lution of the same may be occasional­ ly Injected. Injections of Villate's so­ lution or alcoholic solution of corrosive sublimate, strong carbolic acid, or pos­ sibly oil of turpentine will also prove beneficial. Pressure should be applied from below, and endeavors made to heal the various pipes from the bot- torn. Majority of Cases Curable. Although the successful treatment of fistulas requires time and patience, the majority of cases are curable. The sinuses must be opened at their lowest extremity and kept op«n. Caustic ap­ plications must be thoroughly used once or twice, after which mild as­ tringent antiseptic washes should be persistently used until a cure is reached. It sometimes happens that the ero­ sions have burrowed so deeply or In such a direction that the opening of a drainage passage becomes impracti­ cable. In other cases the bones may be attacked in some inaccessible loca­ tion, or the joints may be affected, and in these cases it is often best to de­ stroy the horse at once.. The reappearance of the fistula af­ ter it has apparently healed Is not un­ common. The secoudary attack In these cases is seldom serious. The lesion should be curefully cleaned and afterwards injected with a solution of zinc sulphate. 20 grains to the ounce of water, every second or third day until a cure Is effected. In fistula of the foot there Is the same tendency toward the burrowing of pus downward to lower Structures, or in some cases upward toward the coronet. Prior to the development of a qulttor there is nlway^ swelling at, the coronet, accompanied with heat and pain. Every effort should now be made to prevent the formation of an abscess at the point of injury. Wounds caused by nails, gravel, or any other foreign body which may have lodged in the sole of the foot should be opened at once from below, so as to allow free exit to all purulent discharges. Should the Injury have occurred directly to the coronet the application of cold fo­ mentations may prove efficient in pre­ venting the formation of an abscess. Bacterial vaccines composed of sev­ eral strains of the organisms usually found in these pustular infections of the horse are well adapted to the treat­ ment of these diseases. The vaccine Is administered subcutaneously by means of a syringe, but the quantity •9f the vaecine to be injected and the uUWber of doses to be used should be left to judgment of a competent veterinarian:-..

W. Nelson writes In the National Geographic Magazine. In various parts of Its range it Is ateo known as the panther, cougar and puma. It is a slender-bodied animal with a small head and a long, round tail, with a total length vurying from seven to nine feet and a weight (NHii about 150 to 200 pounds. No other American mammal has a range equal to that of the mountain Hon. It originally inhabited both North and South America from southern Quebec and Vancouver Island to Pata­ gonia and from the Atlantic to the Pa­ cific coast. ' The mountain Hon, while powerful enough to be dangerous to'man, is Itn reality extremely timid. Owing to its being a potentially dangerous animal, the popular conception of It Is that of a fearsome beast, whose savage ex­ ploits are celebrated in the folklore of our frontier. As a matter of fact, few wild animals are less dangerous, although there are authentic accounts of wanton attacks upon people, just as there are authentic instances of buck deer and moose becoming aggressive. It hits a wild, weird cry, popularly supposed to resemble the scream of a terrified woman, which is thrllllngly Impressive when the shades of evening are throwing a mysterious gloom over the forests. Although inoffensive as to people, this cot is such a fierce and relentless enemy of large «ame and live stock that It Is everywhere an outlaw. It often kills claves, but Is especially fond of young horses. In many range districts of the Western states and on the table land of Mexico, owing to the depredations of this animal, It Is Im­ possible to- raise horses. TO LIVE LONG! A recipe given by a famous physician for long life was: "Keep the kidneys in good order 1 Try to eliminate thru the skin and intestines the poisons that otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eat­ ing meat as much as-possible; avoid too much salt, alcohol, tea. Try a milk and vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water, and exerciee so you sweat -- the skin helps to eliminate the toxic poisons and uric acid," For those past middle life, for those easily recognized symptoms of inflam­ mation, as backache, scalding "water," or if uric acid in the blood lias caured rheumatism, "rusty" joints, stiffness, get Anuric at the drug store. This is a wonderful eliminator of uric acid and was discovered by Dr. Pierce of Invalids' 1 Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If yonr druggist, does not keep it send 10 cents to Dr. j ^Pierce for trial package and you will i find that it is many times more potent than lithia and that it dissolves uric i i hot water does sugar. i Why Cecil Rhodes Went to Afriea. "Why did I come to Africa? Well, they will tell you that I came out on account of my health, or from a love of adventure--and to some extent that may be true. Put the, real fact Is that I could no longer stand the eternal cold mutton." The answer Is characteristic of the man. A young chap who, three years after receiving his college degree, could pick up an empire 160 times the size of Rhode Island and set it: as a jewel in the British crown was not likely to be content with any "review of reviews" In his diet. Men with "em­ pires In their brnlns" do not usually have cold mutton In their stomachs. But the fact remains that Cecil John Rhodes went to South Africa to battle for his life against the bug battalions of tuberculosis that had invaded his lungs. "Not six months to live!"
