Mrinkiny and SmeNing Of The

used to be told that pork, beef, sc,
killed in the old of the moon, would
shrink in The pat; and if in the nc,c
ii tc0uH S'ceH: and a great many
good, honest farmers, religiously OBJ
served her waxing and waning quar-
tiers for their periodical packing
That some meat shrnkS, while other
swellS, is fact too notorious for cav
il; but that the moon is to be praised
or blamed for this agency we most
fully dcny.--The true cause ofthese
changes is to be found in the manner
ofieeding the animals before slaught-
eriug. An animal that has been
long and well fed, till the fat-cells
have become fully charged with SOL
id matter, will, on exposure to boil
ing water, absorb portion Of it, and
consequently swell the dimensions of
the flesh while that which has been
hastily or but partially fattencd. will
diminish in cooking from the abstrac-
ton of the juices which occupied
the cavities or spaces between the
lean iibrcs. This is the ,choie secret
of the shrinking and swcNing Of
meats. It will thus be perceived
that one carcase of equal weight
may differ materially in value from
another ofnearly the same apparent
quality. This difference in value is
equally manifest in the quality Of
fish and poultry. Eggs from we'll
fed hens are also much more rich
and substantial than those which
are produced by hens sparsely fed.
The latter will invariably be found

Origin NJ Bats IN Horses, and
their Cure.--Mr. Porter: l have
observed lately much speculation as
to the origin Of the bot or grub. l
have read Mr.. MitchePs account of
his experiment in the cure, and often
the animal died, his experiments in
killing the WORM, after taking them
from the stomach ofthe dead horse.
As it should be our object to do
all the good We can to mankind, |
feel it my duty to give the world
what | think certain remedy for
the bot or grub, without comment
ing how they find their way into the
horses stomach, or how they are
formed. 1t is enough that such a
thing does exist as bots in horses,
and that it is important how to get
rid of them, when we ascertain our
horse is affected by them.
TO make the bot or grub let go
its hold, give the horse a quart Of
molasses or dissolved sugar, with a
quart ofsweet milk in thirty min
utes you will find the horse at ease ::
then pulverize one eighth of a pound
Of alum, dissolve it in quart of
warm water, ana drench your horse
after which, in two hours or less,
give the horse one pound OF salts,
and you will find the bots in his dung.
have never failed | think this is,
after all the speculations and cures
have seen, the only thing that will
to certainty remove the bots.
The molasses and sweet milk
causes the bot to let 60 and prey up
on the sweetening-the alum con-
tracts him, and the salts passes him
off, C. Ha'ker IN The Sp:rU Gf
