HovEN IN CATTLE! Cattle som

HovEN IN CATTLE * Cattle some
times die from having their stomachs
bloated with wind, caused by eating
clover when wet with dew or rain.-
In this case, take stick about the
thickness Of mans wrist, and put
it into the animal mouth like bri-
debit, and keep it there BY string
put over the head and tied to the
stick at each side Of the mouth. AS
the animal will bite and bite on this
stick, it opens the gullet, the wind
escapes from the stomach, and the
brute is relieved. This remedy is
given by a correspondent Of the Ohio
Cultiyator, who dates from Morrow
county, fro m whence great mum bers
of fat cattle or sent to eastern mar
kets.

CHARCOAL FOR TURKEYS is said

rather sceptical. Four turkeys we're
confined in a pen, and fed on meal,
boiled potatoes, and oats. Four 9TH
ers, Of the same brood, were also at
the same time confined in another
pen, aud fed daily on the same arti-
cles, but with one pint of very finely
pulverized charcoal mixed with their
meal and potatoes. They had also a
plentiful supply Of broken charcoal
in their pen. The eight we're killed.
on the same day, and there was a
difference of one and a half pounds
each in favor of the fowls which had
been supplied with the charcoal, they
being much the latest, and the meat
greatly superior in point of tender
ness and flavor

Mr.. EDITOR: The cut worm has
been very destructive this season. I
set $40 sweet potato plants, al d the
third day after setting / found only
five left. Since then, ! set so 70 cab
bage and 1000 sweet potato plants,
with hickory leaf around eac b, and
not single leaf was cut. / lay the
leaf on the ground, the stem end
from me; lay the plant on it, the root
to my right; take the stem end in
my left hand, and with my right
hand fetch the top end of the leaf
over the plant and stem end, which
forms a tunnel; let the plant come
through the leaf as it is set in the
ground before taken up; then open
the ground with trowel, or some
thing of the kind, three or four inch
es deep; set in the plant and ill half
full of earth; then a gill or half pint
OF well water; fill the hole, and press
down a little, and leave the top OF
the ground dry. The leaf should be
half or three-quarters of an inch
below the top of the ground. In that
way find the little scaInps about the
leaf, but they will not disturb the
plant.

SHE Hydromagen is a valuable discovery
Il for protecting the feet from damp or cold,
and therefore preventative of many Lung
diseases, without any doctoring whatever
The Hydromagen is in the form of sole, and
worn inside the boot or shoe Its neascatel
character is powerful antidote to disease
For gentlemen it will be found agreeable,
warm, and healthy, to wear in the coolest
or rainiest weather, as the foot cannot become
wet if the iHydromagen is inserted Ladies
may wear the lightest soled boots or shoes in
the most inclement weather with f1npunity;
while Consumption, so prevalent among the
Young of our country, may be thwarted by
their general adoption. They entirely super
ccde ocer-S!9es, as the latter cause the feet to
perspire in avery unhealthy manner; and, he
sides, are not dangerous wear to pedestrians in
icy weather. like India-rubbers. While the
latter causes TIE feet to appear extremely large
the Hydroniagen, being mere thin slice OF
cork prepared, peculiarly placed inside, does
not increase the size of the boot, OF cause the
foot to appear untidy. To children they are
extremely valuabe. as they may engage in ex-
ercise with comfort and healthy effects. Then
expense is SO slight as to scarce need mention;
besides those who patronage them will find
their yarly octor' ybils diminished tte.eby
AS the Hyuromagen is becoming more KNOWN
its sale is increasing to an almost credible ex-
tent. Last year in London, Manchester, Bir-
mingham Liverpool. Glasgow, Leeds, Dublin,
Paris, Antwerp, Hamburger, and Eerlin. our
sales reached 1872, $50 pairs of Cork Soles =
This year the number will far sHrpass that.

diseases, Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma,
Coughs, Colds, and other Affections of the
Lungs, which arise rom the exposed state of

To demonstrate these facts enquire OF any
English resident in your vicinity, of his knowl-

kind The cost of wearing these articles is
mere trife, and one will last some years. No
