Horses.--C. w. Cooch. of Virginia
writing TO the Editor of the Southern Plan
ter, says: The ordinary means of purg-
ing sick horse are so slow in operating,
that. in many cases. they do no good. |
send you very simple receipt, with which
some of your readers may not be acquaint-
ed, which I have never known to fail; and
regard the best and simplest. | saw 1t
many years ago in the American Farmer,
and have tested it


Take piece of chalk about the size of a
walnut. pound it in a mortar, or wrap a
rag around it and reduce it to a powder
with hammer, or any thing else; put the
powder into quart bottle; pour common
vinegar into the bottle until the effervescence
prevents your pouring more. and having the
horse ready) drench him with it. But liz
tie vinegar can be got into the bottle the
first time.so that you will have to pour more
into 1t, and drench second time. Ordina-
rily pint will do. In cases where it does
not operate in five or ten minutes. persevere
IN the dose, and in a short time the suffer
ing animal will be well again
