The attack may be caused bygorging with feed, drink- ing much cold weter when hot, being given an aloes purgative ball without preparation, or delving upon a hard road. Until a .qualified veterinarian can be employed much relief can be given by removing the shoes, pulling the horse downon a deep bed of Straw in a box stall, and keeping cold or hot poultices ,or swabs `upon the feet. Medicinal treatment consists in giving two ounces of powdered saltpeter, or one ounce of povvdered alum in water, and then half -ounce doses every three, four, or six hours, according to the severity of the attack, until the vet- erinarian arrives. Bleeding is no longer done from the jugular vein, or cutting through the sole of the hoof. Use of saltpeter or alum makes that unnecessary. The veterinarian has also other drugs at his command which hasten recovery.—A. S.

Not long ago a young fellow drove up in a nice car and in a very confi- dential manner began to tell me of a wonderfuleinvestment scheme. • This glib -tongued worker was going to let me and a 'few other investors in on the ground floor, and the offer would soon be closed.
