CHoL1c IN HoRsEs.-I was told lately by a
gentleman Of Prince George county, that tea
cup full of spirits of turpentime would give
instant relief to horses laboring under this dis
order. He added, that on one occasion, all the
oren Of two of his carts were horen-that is, as
you know, suddenly swollen by tho generation
Of gas in the stomach, from eating green food.
The overseer expected all would die, when our
informant ordered tea.cup full of spirits Of
turpentine, diffused in oil, to be given TO each.
The relief was in every case instantaneous and
effectual, almost before he could have thought
there was time to swallow. Such facts should
always be communicated for wide diffusion and
preservation, in agricultural journas.-Amer.
