The Sorrows of the Sutler The Sutler's Tent Generals manufactured by the Dailies Fighting and Writing A Glandered Horse Courts-martial Mania of a Pigeon-hole General on the Subject Colonel and Lieutenant-Colonel in Strait-Jackets.
Your brother has got a capital horse that can go along the road nicely. L , too, has a large fine horse. He went to the fair in with a broken-winded horse and a glandered. You could have killed that horse and nobody said a word to you. I gave it some lard to stop his breathing, and I sold it for nine pound to a gentleman whom you know well. Lotty was at the fair telling fortunes to the ladies.
This causes a rise in body temperature and a hot, characteristic swelling at the point of injection in glandered animals. Treatment is not recommended at the present time. Nearly all of the States have laws which aim to stamp out the disease wherever found by killing all affected animals, and thoroughly disinfecting the stables, harness and everything which has been near the animal.
Some of these products, such as tuberculin and malein, enable the owner to rid his herds of tubercular cows and glandered horses before these diseases have become far enough advanced to be recognized by the visible symptoms alone. Black leg, anthrax and hog-cholera vaccines are valuable agents in the control of disease. In the treatment of fistula and infectious abortion, bacterins may be used.
"'Dead! did you say? echoed the General, rising. "'Yes, sir; I was compelled to have him shot. "'Shot! did you say, sir? advancing; 'shot! compelled to have him shot, sir! By G d, sir, I would like to know, sir, who would compel you to have a horse of mine shot, sir. "'He was glandered, said I timidly. "'Sir! sir!! sir!!! d d lie, sir, mouth as sweet as sugar.
But I did feel hurt, the idea of a brevet officer, a man qualified to do deeds of daring, being detailed one day to drive mules and the next-to shoot sick horses. But I decided to do whatever I had to do, well, and so preparations were made for the executions. The glandered horses were brought out first, and then the ones with sore backs.
To have a beast in pound in consequence of a frolic, is a common disaster in Gipsy life. During the dictation of the foregoing letter, my Gipsy paused at the word "broken-winded horse," when I asked him how he could stop the heavy breathing? "But how would you sell a glandered horse?"
These discharges may become deposited upon the feed troughs, mangers, stalls, harness, buckets, watering troughs, drinking fountains and attendants' hands and clothing. Healthy horses living in the same stable with the glandered animals may escape infection for months. It is usually the diseased animal's mate, or the one standing in an adjoining stall, that is first affected.
"Then I am a better graiengro than you, for I know a powder, and with a penny's worth of it I could stop the glanders in the worst case, long enough to sell the horse. The Gipsy listened to me in great admiration. About a week afterwards I heard he had spoken of me as follows: "Don't talk about knowing. My rye knows more than anybody. He can cheat any man in England selling him a glandered horse."
Perhaps, however, like myself, he has an exceedingly clever wife who, whilst he is making verses, or running about the country swigging ale with people in bulged shoes, or buying pigs or glandered horses, looks after matters at home, drives a swinging trade, and keeps not only herself, but him respectable but even in that event he must have a good deal of common-sense in him, even like myself, who always allows my wife to buy and sell, carry money to the bank, draw cheques, inspect and pay tradesmen's bills, and transact all my real business, whilst I myself pore over old books, walk about shires, discoursing with gypsies, under hedgerows, or with sober bards in hedge ale-houses."
