Ringbone in Horses.
Ringbone, as its name indicates, consists
of a ring or circle of bony matter extending
round tise cornet. Most commonly it is laid
down around the lower part of the large
pastern bone, but in all bad cases the small
pastern bone is likewise involved. The
swelling is very distinctive, and can hard
ly be inistaked for anything else. It is hard
and unyielding, and although at first occur
ing in separate points, it gradually extends
round the sides and front of the coronet. —
Sometimes it passes downwards, implica
ting the latteral cartilages, and constitut
ing sideboue. It is always apt to increase,
especially when the horse continues at work
on the icad, and sometimes becomes of
large size, interfering with the movements
of the joints. Out of the 150 ossific diseas
es in the region of the fetlock, Mr. Percival
found sixty-three cases of complete anchy
losis,including five of the fetlock joint,forty
of the pastern joint, and eighteen of the
coffia joint ; whilst the remainder consisted
of b my iucrustations of various degrees of
severity. When the horse is much used on
the stones during the early development of
ringbone, the fetlock is apt to become hot
and tender, and the animal goes lame. Iu
the large proportion of cases the bony mat
t. r, however, is laid down gradually with
out causing much pain or any notable lame
ness. A certain degree of stiffness is, how
ever, usually observable. Whether caus
ing lameness or not, ringbone constitutes
unsoundness. As it is apt to be herditary,
animals with such exostoses should be
avoided for breeding purposes.
Like most other bony deposits,ringbones
generally result from concussion. When
this is frequent or continued, iuflamation is
set up iu the periosteum and underlying
bone, giving rise to the outpouring of plas
tic lymph, which is gradually converted in
to bone. The jar is obviously greatest
where the pasterns are short and upright
aud underbred animals of such conforma
tion furnish a large proportion of cases of
ringbone. It is common, in the fore limbs
of heavy horses, and of high-stepping hack
and carriage horses ; but it likewise occurs
in the hind limbs particularly of the light
er description of horses. Prof. Spooner
states that horses with small feet are espe
cially subject to ringbone. From a blow,
tread, or other such injury, inflammation of
the periosteum is sometimes established,
leading, like the concussion of hard work,
to bony deposits. When depending upon
such cases, ringbone is apt to be confined
to one limb.
A deposit of bone once formed, cannot be
removed by any treatment short of excis
ion. When, therefore an old ringbone has
become hard and unyielding it had better
be left alone, especially if it be free from
tenderness, aud does not cause a lameness.
Irritants may re-excite inflamation, and in
crease the evil. A ringbone of recent
growth, in which the newly,formed deposit
is yet soft and spongy, may, however, be
greatly reduced by simple remedies. Any
tenderness of heat should be combatted by
soothing measures, such as cold wet slabs,
total immunity from work, a half dose of
opening medicine, and laxative cooling di
et. After a few days, when the parts are
becoming cool, some ointment of the red
iodine of mercury should be well rubbed in,
and the blister repeated several times at
intervals of a week or ten days. Firing is
often resorted to, but has the disadvantage
of blemishing, aud is not more effectual
than the iodide of mercury ointment. After
the first day's rest, unless the limb is hot
and tender, moderate farm work on the soft
land will do no harm. When the horse
goes to work, his shoes must be light and
nicely fitted ; whilst the jar may besides be
somewhat abated by the use of leather soles.

Bam Cisterns.
One of the most important appendages to
the barn or stable, is a well-built,capacious
cistern. Having a full supply of pure wa
ter in the barnyard is not only a great con
venience, saving much time iu taking hor
ses to the pond or brook to drink, but the
water from a well kept cistern is much
more healthful to stcck than water from
many of the "stock ponds," which during
the summer months, when water is most
needed, are but little more than mud holes.
The water that falls upon an ordinary
sized barn, in the course of a year is suffi
cient for all the stock that will probably
find shelter in and around the barn ; in the
winter time,when the ponds are frozen,hav
ing water in the barnyard is a great con
venience, not only for watering stock, but
for wetting the cut straw and hay that
should be fed with meal to farm horses and
cattle.
Many farmers who have never experi
enced the advantage of a barn cistern,would
avail themselves of them if they knew with
how little cost and trouble they can be
built. In ordinary clay soils, a cistern may
be built without brick—except for the arch
—by merely making the excavation of the
size and depth required, and laying the
mortar immediately on to the clay sides ;
if well done with good hydraulic cement,and
clean coarse sand, it will be as permanent
as if plastered upon a brick wall.
Brick will be required for the arch. To
turn this about eighteen inches below the
surface of the ground, a shoulder should
be made the width of the brick, on which
the arch is to rest. One thousand brick
will be sufficient for a cistern of the capac
ity of one hundred barrels, constructed on
this plan, and the whole may be built at a
cost of SSO. On many farms brick may be
already on hand, aud some farmers,perhaps,
would prefer to wall the entire cistern from
the bottom. To do this two-thirds, or per
haps three quarters more brick would be
required.
The most proper form, and which gives
the greatest strength to a cistern,is that of
an ordinary jug—say ten or twelve feet
deep, ami six or eight feet in diameter at
the bottom, increasing in the middle to nine
or ten feet, and from the middle upwards
the size should be contracted to the base of
the arch to six feet or less. Such a cistern
wiil hold from one hundred to one hundred
and fifty barrels, and would afford a supply
of water for twenty head of animals contin
ually. It is importaut to secure as freshly
burnt hydraulic cement as possible. The
coarsest sand makes the strongest mortar.
This should be clean, that is free from any
clayey or marly substance. Every good i
mason knows the proportions in which these '
should be mixed.— Ex.
GYPSI'M IN STABLES.—Gypsum should be !
sprinkled daily over the floors and tie-ups, j
to absorb the ammonia of the urine. The
stroDg odor observable on entering the sta-1
ble on a morning, arises from the presence I
oi ammonia, one of the most valuable pro-!
ducts of stable manure, when properly econ
omized. Gypsum or lime, either slacked or i
caustic, should also be sprinkled over the I
bottoms of cellars in the spring. This will !
tend to purify the atmosphere and prevent :
many deleterious effects resulting from the i
presence of miasma. After a few days it
should be removed, and a fresh supply sub I
etituted in its place.

'PWENTY-FH " YEARS EXPERIENCE
X IN DENUSIftI. —J. S. SMITH. M. I)., would re
spectfully Inioriu the inhabitant* of Bradford County
that be is permanantly located in V.'averiy, N.Y., wiiere
he has been in the practice ol his profession for the past
tour years. Ho would say that from his long and suc
cessful practice oi 25 years duration, he is familiar with
all the different styles of work done in any and all Den
tal establishments in city or country, aad is better pre
pared than any other Dental operator in the vicinity to
do work the best adapted to the many and different
cases that present themselves oftentimes to the Dentist,
as he understands the art ol making his own artificial
teeth, and has facilities tor doing the same. To those
requiring under sets of teeth he would call attention to
his new kind of work which consists ot porcelain lor
both plate and teeth, and (orming a continuous gum. It
is more durable, more naturai in appearance, and much
better adapted to the gum than any other kind ol work.
Those in need of the same are invited to call and exam
ine specimens. Teeth filled to last for years and o'tten
t mes for life. Chloroform, ether, and "Nitrous oxide "
administered with perfect safety, as over four hundred
patients within the last four years can testify.
I will be in Towanda from the loth to 30th of everv
month, at the office of W.K. TAYLOR, (formerly oc
cupied by Dr. 0. H. Woodruff.) Having made arrange
ments with Mr. Taylor, I am prepared to' do all work in
the very best style, at his office.
