SioWto Subdue a Vicious Horse.


On looking over some old papers the other
day, we came across the following, which,
ifture, is worth knowing. 1t seems that
a fruitless effort was being made in a
blacksmith shop to shoe vicious hores,
which resisted sll efforts kicking aside
everything but an anvil, and came near
killing himselfagainst that, when by mere
accident an officer returning from Mckee
WAS passing, and being made acquainted
with the difficulty, applied a complete re-
mede by the following simple process:
He took cord about the size of bed
cord, put it in the mouth of the horse like
a bit, and tied it tightly on the top Of the
animals head passing his left ear under
the string, not painfully tight, but tight
enough to keep the car down and the cord
in its place. This done, he patted the
horse gently on the side of the head: and
commanded him to follow, and as instantly
the horse obeyed perfectly subdued, and
as gentle and obedient as well l-trained
dog; suffering his feet to be lifted with en-
tire impunity, and acting in all respects like
an old stager. The simple string, thus
tied, had made him at once as docile and
obedient as any one could desire. The
gentleman who thus furnished this exceed
ingly simple means Of subbuing very
dangerous propensity ,intimated that it was
practiccd in Mexico and South America in
the management of wild horses. Be this as
itmay, he deserves the thanks ofall owners
of such horses, and especially the thanks
ofthose whose business it may be to shoe
or groom the animals.--7He Plosp, Mt
Loom, and 44acil.

FASHIONABLE BARRIER.


Leaving to others the business of shaving mems
pockets, the subscriber will devote his undivided
attention (and it will be his aim to arrive as ncar
perfection as possible)to the business of shaving
their faces, shampooning their heads, and cut
ing their hair after the latest and most approved
fashions. Having had many years experience in
the business, and being actuated by desire to
please he hatters himself that those who give him
a call will 60 away perfectly satisfied.
Particular attention will be paid to cutting hair
and shampooning.
Hewould respectfully say to his patrons whom
he is in the habit of shaving regularly, that if
they could make it convenient he would like to
have them call and get shaved on Saturday eve
ming instead of Sunday morning, or if on Sum
day morning, as early as possible.

scab in Sheep.

Ino.ice in the Wool Grower for March,
that correspondent wishes to know
whether scoJ in sheep is contagious, and
what is the best cure, and what would be
the best time in the year for curing them
AS we have some experience in that dis
ease some years back, l will give him such
information as / can about it. think
there is no mistake about its being conta-
gious. It first made its appearance in a
neighbours flock by his purchasing lot OF
sheep at a sale, that affected the rest Of his
flock.
Our farm and his joined, the sheep be-
ing on each side of the fence; ours became
affected also. 1t breaks out first on the
shoulder, along through March, and is
generally worse on year olds than older
sheep. Ifit is not checked, they will kick
and rub nearly all the wool off before
shearing. 1t comes out in hard scurf,
which, if scratched with the finger, will
set them to kicking, For curing them,
we tried an ointment made from receipt
taken from Mckenzie, for the cure of scab,
by rubbing them down the shoulders,
along the back, &C., some time in March;
it did not cure them, but it prevented them
from getting so bad as to rub their wool
of. We had about 400 that had it. We
put them all through the process imme-
diately after shearing, which is the best
time to effect cure. as the ingredients
are more easily got then, and the sheep
are more easily managed.
We made an ooze of the following; 1
bushel of elder roots, bushels of mullen,
J bushe1 OF skunk cabbage, 90 lbs, of to-
bacco. Boil them one after the other, in
rain water, till you get the strength all
out of them, add g lbs. of hellcbore, Ito
be got of the Apothecary,) mix this iq-
uid with as much chamber lye as will 60
over your flock, say 800 or 400, put all
into hogshead at blood heat. Let two
hands take sheep by all the legs, and dip
it in the ooze up to the head; hold the
sheep with one hand, and rub off as much
of the liquid as you can, holding the sheep
over the hogsbead so as to not lose any of
the ooze Dipyour whole flock, sucklings
and all;-it will cure of the scab, and kill
the ticks also. The sheep ought to have
some sulphur and magnesia mixed with
bran, for a day or two before the dipping.
SO as to make it strike out And alos
when they have been wintered, the sheds,
stock yards, &C., ought to be completely
cleaned out as soon as convenient after
shearing, to pervent them from second
attack. - Wool G,'ower.

To MAKE VINEGAR FROM BEETT.-Grate
the washed beets, express the juice in a
cheesepress, and putthe liquor in an empty
barrel, cover the bunghole with gauze,
and place it in the sun, In few weeks the
vinegar will be good. 1t is said that one
bushel of sugar beets will make five or six
gallons ofvinegar, which is probably near
ly correct, as nine-tcnths OF the substance
of the beet is liquid, and each bushel of
roots contains about equal to six gallons
in the measure, emitting the interstiees.

Form OF the Mich Cow.

BEAUTY Of form is about the last quail
iication in good dairy COW. Symmetry
10 breeder is no criterion of milking; any
more than very "pointp" short-horn
makes good subject for a painter, piece.
Indeed, the parallelogram is the beau ideal
of fattened OK in section, and cylinder
is that Of his superfces--.hus exhibiting
the essence of oundness-whercas the
very conyerseis tn. perfection ofthe mixer,
j, e., "fatness." The following are the
best settled marks or characteristics of
milking COW. Head small and fine, eye
bright and full, but with bright and
placid expression, neck thin and deep,
which gives it an appearance Of hollowness;
shoulderand breast narrow, butprojecting;
ribs fiat; rumps broad, and tapcring down
to the knee joint, owing to the thigh being
thin; tail small; udder large and round,
with four teats, well formed, tapering to
the end, at moderate distance from each
other; thin in its skin, and with plenty ol
skin above; its fore teats round and full,
and with as it commonly but enormously
called. There must, above all, be kind
hness oftouch. indicative at once of good
breeding, and ofquiet disposition. This
with quiet, calm, serene temper. are in.

where health is present, arc almost infaI

Wheat and Wool.

THESE two farm products can be well
grown to -gether Probably the bestrota-
ton would be to sow all wheat land with
clover and timothy seed, at the rate offour
to eight pounds of clover and half a bushel
of timothy seed per acre, and let that re-
main in sheep pasture three years, and
then break up and SOW again to wheat with
a light dressing of lime and a renewal of
grass seed. 1.-THE clover has predominant
ed over the timothy while in pasture, there
will be on need ola second sowing of clover
seed, as there will be enough i'll the
ground. No two staple crops can be bet
ter grown together than wheat and wool,
and no one need fear going into the bust
ness of either for fear it will not pay. All
the grower needs to insure him good prices,
is capital enough SO as not to be obliged to
sell except at such times as he could OBJ
tain such as he feels will pay, for both
wool and wheat can be kept over without
loss.
The great West is to be the sheep-walk
of America, as wool can be produced upon
the cheap lands there at a greater profit
than at the East, and probably at grerter
profit than any other crop.
There is no danger of overlooking the
wool market, or producing it in such
beautities that the business will prove
ruinous to those who may be induced to
engage in it.-Scioto { o. Gazette.

VALUE OF Conn STALKs-At a recent
Farmers Club in New York, Judge Van
Wyck speaking of "a farmer in Westchester
couty, said d:-"Corn stalks, he thought,
made an excellent fodder; most kinds of
stock are fond of them, especially milch
cows; they must be got in good order, and
well taken care Of. He considered them
nearly as valuable rs hay. Last year he
fed them out rather freely to his stock the
first of the winter, and he was afraid he
would run short, and about the first of feb
ruary he put them on hay, and his COWS
in two or three days fell off full one third
in milk; he put these again on stalks, and
they soon recovered a part Of their loss.
