PORT FARM NOTES, way Ionses Rus THEIR MANES AND Tas. The question, “Why horses rub their manes and tails,” has been answered as follows: “Rubbing the mane and tail usnally results from an unhealthy condition of the skin, which in most cases is produced by neglect of grooming or by bad food, or by any sudden change of diet from that to good. Ocecastonally, however, It ap- pears in stables where grooming and food are unquestionably good. Dam- aged oats or bay are very ready causes for this annoying affection. In every case, therefore, where the hair of the mane and tail fall out the food should be carefully examined. Young horses on coming into the stable sometimes suffer from an irritation of the skin, probably from change of diet. Horses recovering from fever frequently lose a portion of the hair from the mane and tall. In the latter case it seems to arise from an impoverished state of blood.” In regard to treatment it is sail “If any positive cause, such as damaged food or neglected grooming, has exis ted, measures must be taken Lo remove gnch canse, Without this provocation locul treatment will be of little avail, One method of local treatment that has procured good results consists in dres- sing the skin with equal parts of mer- cus fal ointment and soft soap made into a lathe: with hot water and applied by means of a stiff hair brush, The new hair will grow rapidly after this appli- cation. ln addition to the local treat- ment it will be necessary to act upon the system generally by a change of diet; green food should be given, as ths by weans of its laxative qualities les- sens the irritability of the skin, A bran mash with tive gralas of arsenic added daily, in addition to the usual food, will exert a beneficial influence upon the skin.
