    Cattle Cures.
    Robens of Tomnaboley, Boolavogue, Ferns, Co. Wexford have a bullock which had a worm in its tail when it was a calf. The cut the tail from the top to the bottom and put turpentine into the tail. They then tied a cloth around the tail. Then the calf lost its tail and now it is in the house fattening.
