CURE FOR HOOF DISEASE ' H
C HOULD any of your "horned cat-
tie" become afflicted with a hoof
disease watch what part of the turf
the cow steps on, dig it Hp, tie it
with a c«rd and hang it in the open
air. As the piece of turf wastes away
under the action of the weather so
will the disease disappear from the
hoof of your cow.
This "cure" is exceedingly popular
in England and enjoys a considerable
reputation in Canada and the United
States.
It is primitive magic in its simplest
form. Sir James Frazer calls it "the
contagious magic of footprints." The
old Norse heroes, when they wished
to form a lasting bond of friendship,
sprinkled eaeh other's footprints with
blood, drawn from their own veins and
the savage. Today the savage will
throw his spear into the footprints of
fin enemy whom he wishfes to injure,
In southern Europe a good way to
avoid the influence of the "evil eye"
Is to stick some sharp-pointed instru-
ment into the footprints of the person
suspected of possessing that baleful
attribute. The negroes "down South'-
say that a "conjurer" can "work a
man mischief' by digging up his foot-
prints and "conjuring" over them.
Marian Roalfe Cox, in "An Introduc-
tion to Folk-Lore," speaks of an old
practice among the Germans of "cut-
ting out the piece of turf whereon a
person to be destroyed has stood and
hanging it in the chimney that he may
perish as his footprints dry and
shrivel."
Primitive man conceived a close re-
lation existing between a man and his
footprints. It was like the relation
existing between a man and his
shadow and what was done to the
one reacted upon the other. Thus the
disease-demon (with primitive man
all diseases were evil spirits) in the
cow's hoof having left a part of him-
self by contagious magic on the piece
of turf trod on by the cow, it naturally
follows that when that piece of turf
disintegrates the 4teease-demon will
itsffitfcgrato, too.
