An 19th century veterinary note explains early signs of cracked heels in horses and urges poultices for 24 hours, followed by careful drying agents and antiseptics. It recommends charcoal bread root poultices, bran linseed mixes, and cautious use of bluestone, zinc salts, glycerine mixtures, and calamine ointment to protect and heal the coronet.
Academy of Sciences report by Dr Calmettes of Lille shows transmission of tuberculosis to a man by cow milk and by sterilised milk as well.

An American apiarist reports in Bee Culture that bees in W H Law's Beeville yard fed several hundred pounds of syrup from a trough away from the apiary and soon worked to store it. A neighboring apiary half a mile away and another one a mile distant also rapidly collected syrup, showing their foraging reach beyond the immediate yard.
The article reports on colony response to syrup feeding at various distances from the yard. Of 75 colonies, 174 miles away only 14 found syrup while 7 of nearby colonies did. Ten colonies showed equal effort but distance reduced per colony storage. Breathing stories from adjacent yards found no syrup. The findings aim to gauge profitable foraging distance and colony distribution.
