Speedy Cure for a Foundered
 Horse.

Horse.
 AS soon as you find your horse foundered, bleed him in the neck in proportion to the greatness of the founder. In extreme ca ses you may bleed him as long as he can stand up. Then draw his head up as is common in dren- ching, and with spoon, put far back on his tongue, strong salt, until you get him to swallow one pint. Be careful not to let him drink too much. Then annoint round the edges of his hoofs with spirits of turpentine, and your horse will be well in one hour.
 A founder pervades every part of the system on horse. The feam arrested it from tue blood, the salt arrests 1t from his stomach and bowels and the spirits of turpentine arrests 1t from the feet and limbs.

 It appears not to be generally known that the potato plant may be propagated more album dantly, and with greater ease. than most other plants. The shoots produce roots naturally at every joint below the surface of the ground when planted ii the usual way; to plant for pro. pagation, a small space ofground will be sufficient, as the tubers may be placed together; when the shoots have grown an inch or two above the surface of the earth, the tops may be cut of below the first rooted joint, ano planted two or three inches apart in fine sandy earth ; in the course of a week or ten days they wil be rooted plants, and planted al the distances that potatoes arc generally planted, will prooucc a crop of tubers in eight, ten ol twelve weeks, (according to the kinds) equal to that produced from tubers, and when propaga- ted in this manner, plants ma, be obtained in great quantities A more simple way will be tt place the tubers in a similar man. ner as before stated, and wher the shoots have grown to tht length of two or three inches above the soil, to take up the tu. bers and strip off the roots from them; there will be six or more beautifully rooted plants, just in order for final planting; replace the tubers as before, which may be repeated at least four times. and this will produce sufficien, plants from four or five tubers of moderate size to plant a rod of ground, at the distances that tubers are usually planted. Lat eral shoots taken from a growing crop, treated like cuttings of o1h, CT plants, and afterwards trans planted, will also produce a croE of tubers equal in quantity te that produced by the parentplant
