Sheep also become so affected, and should have the same treatment. Foul in the Feet. This is a disease of cattle, an'd may assume almost any de- gree of severity from a simple crack or abrasion between the slaws to suppuration, separation of the horn from the foot or to decay of the bone. Treatment: If the case is simple and unattended with pus under the hoof or horn, the dirt should be removed and Dr. Hess Healing Powder applied. If matter has formed, the hoof should be removed sufficiently to allow its escape and a poultice should be applied. After the poultice is removed, apply the Healing Powder to the diseased parts. The foot should be kept clean, the bowels active, and the general health looked after. Bitter tonics are very useful, such as drajn doses of nux vomica and a half ounce of gentian given twioe a day. Dr. Hess Dip & Disinfectant is a perfect antiseptic for dress- ing and curing all such ailments. To Prevent Kicking. Tie a rope around the cow just in front of the udder.
