A CURE FOR BLIND sTAGaER'

A CURE FOR BLIND STAGGERs,
DR.. CLoUD-Dear SRI noticed in
the present number of the PLANTER AND
Soil OF THE SOUTH, a correspondent, @.
A. C. c. F., of Vernon, La, desires some
information on the subject Of Bling Staggers
among horses. '
I send you a recipe which has proved eff.
fectual in several cases in my settlement
Take half ounce of laudanum, one pint Of
butter milk, mix we'll and drench the horse.
If no perceivable relief in half hour, repeat
first bleed freely. Inject with warm corn
Cruel with some oil.
I will mention a case that took place in
the, settlement some month or two since
One of my ~neighbors told me be had a horse
taken with the blind staggers. He did not
know the iugredients-sent to one Of his
neighbors for the recipe. Before the RENE
dy. could be applied, the horse was down and
so near dead be was not able to raise his
head. he had his head raised up and gave
him the drench and left to die. The bleed.
ing and glister was dispensed with and to
his great establishment in two orthree hours,
the horse was up and walking about, and is
now living and we'll. If you think it is
worth a place in. your valuable paper, you

Greens, in some form, comprise theprln-
cipal of our vegetable diet. And when it is
as easy to have the tender blanched cabbage
as the tough green cabbage, why not have
it? 1t is thought by many that the cabbage
heads better for being trasplanted. This is
owing to the loss of the tap root. In trans
planting the cabbage, carefully cut off the
tap root. It will throw out numerous side
roots, which will cause it to head frmer. The
cabbage is a great feeder, therefore to have
large, firm heads, the soil should be rich
Potash is its specialized, and the plant may
be fed in its growing state with a liquid high
ly i~mpregnated with potash. In transplant
ing the cabbage, no matter how longthe stem,
it should be inserted in the earth up to the
first leaves. Ibis will cause it to throw out
more root, thereby giving it a better chance
to head.
The soil around the cabbage can hardly
be stirred too frequently. The roots pene-
trating deeply, are notas liable to be cut with
the hoe, as many other garden crops. The
great enemy to the cabbage tribe, is the green
worm, commonly called the cabbage worm.
The miller that lays the egg, which produces
this worm, may be seen fitting about, just
before night, through this and the next
month. Each miller destroyed, save both cab
bage and corn, for the cabbage and corn worm
are both Matched by the same miller. Fires
built just before night in the garden, will
entice the millers into the blaze and destroy
them.-SoH of the South.

ns- Two young officers were travelling the
Far West, when they stopped to take supper
at a small roadside tavern, kept by a very
rough Yankee woman. The landlady, in a
calico sur-bonnet and bare feet, stood at the
head of the table to pour out. She inquired
of her guests: IF they chose long sweeten-
ening or short sweetening in their cofeeT
The first officer supposing that long sweet
ening meant a large portion of the article,
chose it accordingly. What was his dismay
when he saw their hostess dip her finger deep
down into an earthen jar of honey that stood
near her, and then stir it (the 6uger) round
in the coffee. His companion, seeing this
preferred short sweetcning, upon which the
woman picked up a large lump of maple su-
gar that lay in a brown paper on the floor be-
side her, and biting off a piece, put it into
the cup.
Both the gentlemen dispensed with coffee
that evening. This anecdote was heard from
the sister of one of these officers .-Mss Les

THE FRUIT SEAsoN.-The berries, the
peaches, the apples, and the plumns-not
only of these but of all others-eat freely
as often as you can get them. There are on.
ly two restrictions.
They should not be eaten later than din
ner time.
They should be eaten while fresh, RIPE,
perfect, and in their natural raw state, with
out milk, cream, sugar, spices, or any other
liquid, within an hour afterwards.
Fruit are known to be cooling and health
full; the reason is, their acidity, like that OF
some other articles, stimulates the separation
ofbile from the blood; this causes an "open"
condition of the system, the attendant OF
high health, an active body and a joyous
heart. Hence, if that acidity is corrected
by sweets of any kind, in such proportion
they fail of their natural good effects.

AN IR1sHMAN's.C CONFIDENCE IN A BANK.
"A banker in Dubuque founi it necessary
the other day to suspend business. Soon af-
ter he was accosted by an Irishman, who had
$4,000 deposited with him. Said Pat:
"Good morning, Mr.. NJ, faith an its we'll
ye're looking this mornin', considering the
weather.. But sure, it's sorry I am to see
that card of yours out in the papers. But
never do you mind such triAes as that, man
take courage and hold up your head as
high as eVer-the trouble of the thing will
soon blow over. And as for that $4,000 bal
ance of mine, just keep it as long as you
please have no use for the lousy dol
lars-and I know yees for an honest man,
and perfectly good for the same at any time.
Kape it, sir, and pleasant drames be wild
ye,"
Mr.. M. expressed his thanks, and the
banker and depositer separated. On the fol.
lowing day the banker was startled from his
'spleasant dreams" by the presentation Of a
check for $4,000, bearing the name of his
Hibernian friend. Not knowing exactly how
to understand the matter, Mr.. NJ. sent for
Patrick, when the following explanation
took place: -
"Well, you see, Mr.. NJ, Bridget, that is
my wife, has been raisin the very devil a.
bout the money-and just to pacify the poor
ignorant craythur that it was all safe, I tho't,
be dad, that I'd send for it and count it out
before her eyes, and then she'd consent to
LAWN it wild. ye, together with the other 81,
900 that is eivin' us so much trouble to kape
from bein' stole from u.s."
To such an explanation together with the
new temptation of $4,000 additional, the
banker could take no exceptions, so he count.
ed out $4,000 in gold. But that was the last
of the Irishman.
The banker, meeting him again a few days
afterwards demanded another explanation.
"Och, the truth is, Mr.. NJ, it's meselt
that has been ashamed to see yees. Bridget
that divil of a wife of mine, you see has bic
the money, and bother me if can find it al
all, and that's the very truth, sir"
The Banker made a graceful tender of his
hat, which Patgenerously declined accepting
though justly entitled to it.-Burtington
