a cutancous eruption, occasioncd by inatten-
ton to cleanliness in hog styes. II IS easily
known BY the violent rubbing OF swine a.
gainst trees, or any hard substance, with
such violence as to tear away the head OF
pustules, and produce a disagreeahle scab.
When this disease appears, the animal al
fected must be separated from the rest OF
the herd, washed thoroughly with strong
soap ley, aud anonted with the following un-
guent, recommended by DR.. Nortord. An

shops so as to form an ointment. lhls IS
to be rubbed in at one time, and IS said 70
be sufficient for beast six or seven stone, II
properly appleds DR.. n. states that no
repetition will be necessary, 1t the hog DC
kept heJectiy clean after the re..is per-
/ formed.--In case there is slight cough he
directs from half an ounce to o.,e ounce ana
an half Of crude antilnony, according TO the
size of each animal, to be tinely pulverized
and mixed with his daily food, for ten eiys
ora fortnight, when the swine will be per-
fectly restored. But if, from lont neglect,
the neck. ears, Especially IN the large iop-
cared hogs,) or other parts become ulcerat-
ed, they should be anonted every third OF
fourth day with little tar ointment, prepar-
ed by mixing equal parts OF mutton suet am!
tar over gentle fire, and straining such
mixture while hot.
S. Measles. This disorder exists chiefly
in the throat, which is internally filled with
small pustules, or tumours, that sometimes
appear on the outward surface Of the neck

be removed by giving small quantities Of le.
vigated crude anthony in his food.

ties in gallon of small beer, then add half
pound OF flour of sulphur, quarter OF
pound of pulvcrized anniseeds, three ounce
of liquorice, and a quarter of pound of Gle
campane. Give tins liquid in milk at ST.
doses, and keep the diseased animals q
wholesome food. But the preventive IS t
keep swine clean and cool in summer, ant
allow no carrion, or filth Whatever to re
main near their styes.-.dm farm
Baked Beans There is no dict more
substantial than Pork and RranS; and whcr
well baked they are relished by an appetite
not vitiated by luxury, and are very whole
some for those who use much exercise ant
possess digestive powers, unmpaired by in
dolence and indulgence. This favorite yam
kee dish, as friend informs us, may y
wonderfully improved, by adding tabl
spoonful of molasses to each quart of til
beans at the time of putting them into til
oven, and stirring the mixture. Try it an
! see.
Baked Peas, it is said, NAV be ais
much improved by the same mode of cooke
