In our paper of the 22d ult., we
published a Communication from Mr..
/. III. Hartman, of. 0rland, touching a
case of blindness in a COW, and asking
for remedy. A day or two since,w
were called upon by Mr.. 0. Parmeter,
of China, who furnished us with the
following statement Of a similar case
among his stock, and his mode Of treat
ment.
Some two months ago, one of his
oxen was taken with a discharge Of
matter from his eyes, which continued
until they were completely covered
with a thick white film, and the animal
was entirely blind, and had to be led
to and from the barn.. and to the water.
Mr.. P. made trial of all the remedies
he could think Of: blue vitriol. burnt
alum, &C., &C., but to no efect-when
he was informed by Mr.. Joseph Soule,
of Palermo that lard would effect a

PoTATo BLOSSOMS INJURIOUS TO THE
CReP.-Much attention has recently
been drawn to the fact that the produce
of potatoes may be much increasedby
plucking off the blossoms from the
plants producing them, a result quite
CONSTANT with theory. This important
observation has been completely con-
frmed by M. Feller, the director of the
Agricultural Society at Darmstadt.-
In the year 1889, two fields of the
same size lying side by side, and
manured in the same manner, were
planted with potatoes. When the
plants had lowered, the blossoms were
removed from those in one field, while
those in the other field were left un-
touched. The former produced Az bolls.
the latter 81 bolls.---LIEBIG.

cure. and IS i could do mo- harm, he

cure, and as it could do nc. harm, he
determined to try it.
He accordingly melted a quantity
Of lard. and. the ANIMALS head being
turned over sideways, to render the
applicatien possible, he turned the lard
into his eyes,. This treatment he re-
peated aboul once every three days
Now for the result.
Soon after applying the lard the
finn began to grow dark colOred, and
gradually disappear--as it were, peel
ina off. This was about four weeks
since, and the cure has progressed until
the animal is now nearly well. Some
small particles of the film yet remain
at the lower part of the eyes, but, to
all appearance, the sight is as good as
ever. Nh. P. still continues the APP
LEGATION.
The lard should not be applied very
hot-merely warm enough to run from
the spoon or dish.

To PREVENT FRUIT Trees FROM
SPLITTNG.-For preventing forked
trees from splitting under their weight
of fruit, Isaac Lewis of Hopkinsville,
Kentucky, has given us his PLAN
'My plan,' he writes, (which I have
followed. for thirty years is this; when
/ find a forked tree that is likely to
split, 1 look for a small limb on each
fork, and clean them of leaves and
lateral branchesfo rmost of their length,
1 then carefully bring them together
and wind them round each other, from
one main branch to the other. In
twelve months they will have united,
and in two years the ends can be cut
of. The brace will grow as fast as any
other part of the tree, and is a perfect
security from splitting. I have them
now of all sizes, and scarcely ever
knew one to fail to grow" Prairie

REMEDY FOR THE CURCULIo.--A
friend of mine informs me hat two
years since, while RECALLING himselfwith
a genuine Havana cigar, he happened
to be by one of his plum trees Of a
still morning, when the plumS we're
beginning to set, and thought he would
try what effect the smoke might have
upon the O~lfactories Of the curculio.-
He bent down one limb, smoked il
well, and that limb bore full of perfect
plums, while the rest on the same tree
were stung by the Curculio and dropped
off. These facts are reliable, as my
friends varacity is. beyond suspicion
and 1 ate some of the plums. Now

THE Western Corn Planter Company, havingcom-
il pleted their arrangements for Manufacturing
this valuable Labor Saving Implement, now offer
them to the Farmers of the West, in the full conf
dence that they will at once supply a want long felt
byal, for a substitute to the old laborious, slow, and
expensive methods Of planting with a hoe. The OBJ
~jections heretofore made to Corn Planters, are, in
Wakefelds invention, entirely obviated; their sim
plicity, accuracy, cheapness, and durability, will at
once recommend them to all Farmers. 1t is carried
and used as a cane or walking stick, requiring no de-
lay or additional motion or Efforts adapted for
planting in rocky and uneven ground, and in all kinds
of sol--is easily adjusted to plant at any desired
depth, and to drop any required number of seeesin O
hill.
The method By which the seed ispIanted with this
Planter is new, and, it is believed, possesses advan-
tagss OYER every other, not only in facility of use, but
In fastening termination. The seed is forced, by
pressure, ~Obliquely from the surface of the ground
to the required depth, thus iHsuring the Immediate
ABSORPTION Of moisture, by bringing it into perfect
and hard contact with the soil, under and around it
while the earth falling loosely over, cannot ohstrnct
the coming up and growth of the blade.
The economy of nsing this Planter, that will more
than pay for itself if only wanted to plant in a COM
mon garden is apparent to all +
