In case of itching skin have the horse clipped and ent the grain ration down a half Do not feed corn. That animal will do best on oats, bran and hay. Green grass often leads to itchiness of the skin. After clipping apply to khe itching parts as required a mixture of one dram each of diluted sulphuric acid and carbolic acid in a pint of water. A little menthol added is effective where itching is excessive. Wash the affected parts before the first application of medicine is made. If the trouble continues give a tablespoonful twice daily of a mixture of equal parts of powdered wood charcoal and granular byposnlphate of soda.
