SCRATCHES,

A correspondent of the "Newpaper" asks for
a cure for the scratches in horses. Let us
first look for the cause, then 70 the cure
Twenty years experience and observation has
shown me that it is almost difficult to cause
some horses to have the scratches, as it is to
keep them off others. A horse with black legs
and black hoqfs will seldom be troubled with
this complaint, hoa ever careless his owner may
be; while it is almost impossible to prevent one
with ,ohi.c stockings and 1chitc skin under
the stocking, from having the scratches so bad,
that he is nearly useless during the wet months
of fall and spring. AS this complaint seldom
or never shows itself in summer think it must
be brought on by want of proper care OF a
horses feet in wet and cold weather, by allow
ing him to stand in the stall with wet feet, after
hard driving, and doing nothing to prevent
chill When horse comes in from drive IN
the cold mud and storm, his legs and feet should
be we'll rubbed with hay or straw, to produce
quick circulation; rub dry if you choose, and
you will seldom see the scratches. This pre-
ventitve is also a cure. Keep the feet and legs
dry as YOU can. | once had white-legged,
white-haoied nag which doctored all the fall for
the scratches to but little purpose, and when my
patience was exhausted, and the prescriptions of
the knowing ones failed to cure, put her on
the barn-hoor, and kept her thrashing wheat and

marks contained in cheap little book, entitled
"Row to get Money"
"Whatever your occupation or calling may
be, if it needs support from the public, advertise
it thoroughly and efficiently. freely confess,
that what success l have had in my life may
fairly be attributed to the public press than
nearly all other causes combined. There may
possibly be occupations that do not require adj
ver'ising but cannot well conceive what
they are. Men in business will sometimes tell
you that they have tried advertising, and that
it did not pay. This is only when advertising is
done sparingly and grudgingly. Some say they
cannot afford to advertise. In this country,
where everybody reads the newspaper, the man
must have thick skull who does not see that
these are the cheapest and the best medium
through which he can speak to the public where
he is to find his customers. The farmer plants
his seed, and while he is sleeping his corn and
potatoes are growing. So with advertising -
While you are sleeping or eating, or conversing

their assistance was needed The Utah did not
start on her tri across the River until every
thing had been done by those on board to render
all the assistance IN their power to the man,
who we all supposed would be saved without
difficulty by the yawl belonging to the Dredye
Boat. While the man was floating down sire am
astern of The Utah, some person asked for the
boat to be backed down towards him. This was
refused by Mr.. Bogy, he remarking that the
man was perfectly safe, and could keep SO until
the yawl reached him, whereas if the engine
