C0chineal.

Cochineal is found in Mexico,
Georgia, South Carolina, and some OF
the West Ind d islands, but it is III
Mexico only that it is reared with
care and forms an important article
OF commerce. 1t Is a small insect,
seldom exceedIn the size of grain
Of barley; and was generally believed,
Tor a considerable time after it began
to be imported into Europe, to be a
sort Of vegetable grain or seed. 1t
is principally used in the dying Of
scarlet, crimson, and other bright
colors. 1t is imported in bags, each
containing about 200 pounds. The
two sexes Of this insect are exceed
ingly dissi milar in their appearance.
The female, which alone is valuable
for its. color, is ill-shaped, awkward
and stupid. The male is very scarce;
and one is sufficient for 800 females.
It's small, lender, and active in COM
parison with t be female,
The cochinqal insect may, in some
respects, be compared to the silk
worm, particularly in the manner Of
depositingits eggs. The insects des-
tined for this purpose are taken at a
proper time Of their growth, and put
into a box well closed, and lined
with q coarse cloth, lest any of them
should be lost; and in this confine-
ment they lay their eggs and die
At Oaxaca, cochineal insects are
gathered in large quantities, and
form an extensive branch of COM
merce; the cultivation Of these little
creatures being there the chief en-
Iployment Of the Indians. Cochineal
Iis sometimes used in medicine.

Indigo.

Indigo is the drug which yields
the beautiful dye Of that name. 1t
is obtained from certain tropical
plants, which are cultivated both in
India and America. 1t is probable
that the culture of the indigo plant
has been praetised in India from a
remote period. AS it is found in
commerce, indigo presents the form
Of little square or oblong cakes, of a
deep blue color. 1t is brittle, rather
light, and without taste or odor.--
Sulphuric acid is the only single
agent that diksolves indigo without
destroying its color
The indigo plant requires a light,
rich soil, and a warm exposure. 1t
succeeds best on newly cleared lands,
on account of their moisture. The
seed, which, as to figure and color,
resembles guHpowder, is sown III little
burrows, at a foot distant from each
other. Though it may be- sown in
all seasons, the spring is commonly
preferred. When the plant has been
cut down, it is placed in layers in a
large wooden vessel, and covered with
water. Ia this situation it cannot
remain long in warm climates with
ont undergoing some change. A
blue sediment is finally obtained. in
this manners which when dried is
formed into mall Jumps, and packed
for expectation.
The value Of the indigo consumed
in the United States in 1929, was
at two millions Of dollars.
OF this, about one-tenth part only,
or 100000 pounds, was aised in
the country. 1t is computed that
British India supplies three-fourths
of all the indigo brought. into Euro
pean markets.

POnItrY--Cure for the Gapes.

The slirilI peep of that little breed
OF chickens reminds us Of an item
which We have for some time intend
ed to make over to our lady readers
in the country, and which they will
do well to test.
All who have tried raising poultry
on old settled piaces, have found tie
difficulty Of contending with gapes,
a disease. which carries off millions
every spring. A remedy has been
discovered and thoroughly tested in
our village by a lady neighbor who
was on the eve Of giving up all fur
Their attempts atraising poultry, Bhen
her husband suggested to her that
as the gapes was undoubtedly occa-
stoned by the little worms found in
the gullet of the chic ks, it would be
well to try the effects Of the worm
seed or Jerusalem Oak, as it is
called. She did so; collecting the
leaves and plants in the fence corner,
roadside, or whereverIthey we're to be
found, and chopping them fine, mix
ing with the rough or other food Civ

that they could not avoid eating It

Diseases Of Stock.

Tic following summary, from the
American Agricuiturist, viii be found
interesting and valuable TO our farm
ing friends:
70 care a stfcd Horse IN Two
Hours Take one gallon of urine,
and put therein small hand full Of
junk tobacco; boil down to one quart;
then add two ounces Of oil of spike,
n ounce Of oil chamber, two spoons
full of spirits Of turpentine, and two
spoonsfull of honey. Put it into a
jug and cork it tight for use. Pro-
cess of application: rub The stihe bone
hard with the mixture fifteen ortwen-
i minutes; then dry it thoroughly
with red hot fire shovel then ride
the horse forth aud back one hun
dred yards. Repeat the above two
or three times and the cure will be eff
fected.
Bone .Spagip.-I think | have
cured one hundred horses of the bone

The campho1 tree is a species Of

are used ia medicine; and Eastern

Camphor is imported in chests, drl ms
and casks. When pure, it has a
strong, fragrant penetrating caor,
and bitter, Iungent, aromatic taste.
Camphor IS obtained in Sumatra in

Some time ago, man in London,
in quarrel with his wife, struck her
a blow which sent her reeling against
the mantel-piece, when out fell two
guineas rolling on the floor. A ces-
sation of hostilities immediately took
place, and search was made forsthe
source from which the gold came
The mantel-piece was examined and
removed and ITO guineas were found
concealed behind it. This result
should not induce any man to strike
his wife, forit isnot very probable
that the same result would follow
more than OBJ out of a thousand
times.
