mate are according to contract and the
amount Of work done, and materials
furnished, with the exception of sand,

at the time Of making the estimate.
SGT cuhi1 yds o. sand is indeed low

GTHUMps IN Hoas"-A CURE.--Enolo-
scd send you recipe (for publication If
you deem it necessary for the cure of
"thumps" in hogs. I do not recollect OF
ever seeing it in print; and as it is an effec-
tual remedy think every person who raises
hogs should know it. One of my neighbors
gave it to ME, to you, and you to the pub
lie. 1t has relieved every one that it has
been given to in time, in this vicinity. My
reasons for sending it to you are these |
hear great complaint about this disease in
the southern portion of the State some have
lost over hundred head and are still dying,
and something to relieve them, of course,
would be an advantage to them, and the re-
cipe will actually cure in every instance
where it is applied in time. Here it is:
1st. Burn all the old beds and around the
feeding place for several hundred yards.
I'd. Give to each hog, as soon as it is dis
covered to have the thumps, one tablespoon
full of Spirits of Turpentine every other day
for week. This is sure cure if applied
in time. L. b.

To MAKE HARD CANDLES OF Soft Tall
LOW noticed request a short time since,
for Q receipt to make soft ta!low hard, /
send yoa one 7 kRpw by experience to be
good. To l2 pounds Of talipE take half
gallon of water, to which add three table
spoonfuls of pulverized alum: and two table
spoonfuls of saltpetre, which heat and dis
solve; then add your tallow and one pound Of
bessYax boil hard altogether, until the wa
ter eyaporateS, and skim we'll while boiling
Itsbould not be put in the Mo4las hotter than
Won can benr your hand in. The candles
Iook mucb nicer whcn the wIoks are not tied
at the bottom. 1t is not only "a disagreeable
task to cut the wick off, but it Injuries the
moulds. Never heat your moulds to draw
YOUR candles in cold weather.
Perhaps it is not generally known that tai
low from beeves fed on corn or grim, "a
much softer than when fed on grass or clio,
YER. Therefore the tal!ow from grass fed
cattle should always be selected for summer
use, and the candles will always be hard
with the addition of very little alum and
beeswax. In very cold weather much less
alum must be used, or they will crnck so as
to fall to pieces sometimes; and a third more
of each should be used in very warm wealth
er, if the tallow is very soft. With little
management you can always have hard tai,
low for summer use where you make all your
own candles.

CORN AND COB MEAL.

BELMONT, Pa, FEB. 16:h, 1857.
lNessrs. E2'tors In your Oct. No un-
der the head of Farm Work, you advise,
when selling corn, to retain the cobs and
grind them for cattle food, as they contain
two-6fths of the strength of corn. This, in
the day of Little Giants, Magic and other
crushers is fact worth being established, as
very many believe the cobs not only worth
less but injurious to stock when crushed
with corn and fed in a wet or dry state; 9TH
ers say 4 l-2 per cent is the strength of the
cobs, and then it purges more than it bene-
fits the animal. I should be glad of more
light on this subject. Yours, F.
Ans,oer.-In speaking Of the use of eth
er crushed or chopt feed, we have always
recommended that it should be mixed with
cut hay or straw, and moistened with water
Such food should never be given dry, In
the feeding of roots too, they should, after
being sliced or cut up be mixed with cut hay
or straw.
That the cob possesses considerable nutri.
tive matter was demonstrated by the experl'
ment of the late P. Minor of Virginia. "He
took 10 bushels of corn and cob, weighing
S47 lbs, and 10 bushels of shelled corn,
and subjected them to the process of distllla
ton. The product of the corn and cob was
13 gallons of spirits, and of the pure corn. le
gallons" No better proof OF the nutrltiVf
properties of the cob, need be asked.
Mr.. Robert White. of Shrewsbury, N. j..
fed with corn and cob, with decided advan
! tage.
The late Judge Buel, says in the Cultiga
tor, that Dob and corn meal is improved b.
soalding,
We have known corn-cobs, before the day
of the Little Giant and others of that class
to be simply broken with hatchet or axe
boiled, and in that state steamed with corn
stalks cut small, and fed to COWS throug b al
entire winter much to the advantage of tn
animals.
If the "strength of the cobs" is as ou
cores spondept eays4 IL per cent. and tina
nutrimept, we should say that they we're yor:
rich.

AGRICULTURAL INsTRUcTIoNs.-"Ic can
not sufficiently wonder," says an old writer,
"that they who build, call carpenters and
architects they who trust ships to the sea
employ men skilled in navigation; they who
make war, men taught in arms; and that
farming alone the nearest to and as it were,
kindred of Philosophy, wants both pupils
and teachers. Neither professors or disciples
of agriculture have I ever known. And
yet without agriculturists, mortals can neith-
er subsist or be nourished."
