veterinary surgeon to make an examination (I always understood he was appointed there for that purpose), and he would ascertain whether it was a curable disease or not.

W. E., Mandeville.— lf there is no expert at hand you might rub the swollen parts with a little ca.vbolised oil twice a day and allow her to run out in a well sheltered paddock during the day, keeping her in a. loosebox at night, and giving her a feed of good chaff with a handful of crushed barley or a little boiled linseed mixed in the feed.
