'v i ) Hollow Horn and Hollo1 Tail. Kd TIollandf Jssnar. ? would like to know if the diseai 3 of cattle known as "hollow horn and "hollow tail" are not ju imaginary diseases, and if the are uot just lack of care an feeding, and if these were attem - ed to as they should be if a j such complaiuts would not 1 r avoided. Answer: 1 have very oftc . stated in reply to inquiries thi I the diseases known as the "ho i low horn ' and "hollow tail" ai . not recoguized as such in an - veterinary work that 1 know of,< f have heard of. They are fane , ful or imaginary diseases. Thoi who believe in such do not agri among themselves as to what tl i symptoms are. I suspect that i ' a majority of cases, the name [ are applied to cattle in very lo I condition from want of prope care and food and shelter. N t doubt in many cases the catt have tick fever, caused by tl I L!i- -r A t - i uiio ()i uc.kp. Ah a matter of fact, every adu cow's horns are hollow, and then . fore when bored into, as som advise, in order to put peppt } and salt or something of th: sort into them, the gimlet bon I in about a quarter of an int and then jumps to the other sid I which proves at once, what wi already believed by the operato I that the cow's horns are hollov I have seen twenty or moi , healthy cows dehorned in tl j course of an hour or two; bi have never seen one of the hori , that was otherwise than hollow t My theory for what is aupposr to be hollow tail, is that a cow , tail has been jerked by a dog < some person and a joint betwec ( ittw 1/1 buo vBriBOi'ae nas been a parated. You know it ia vet common for a cow's tail to 1 ? jerked off by a dog, or becom entangled in a barb wire fen< and pulled off by the animal i j its efTorts to "get looae." Th force may not be sufficient to ei tirely separate the tail, but onl aufliciont to dislocate the bone The weight of the switch and tl constant use of the tail then pr vents a reunion of the disjoints portions. This, however, does tl cow no harm. Hut when found i this condition accompanif with indication of disease tl owner concludes that the co has "hollow tail," and proceet i to do something to the tail,?
