DEATH OF LEAN HORSE.


Old Bones is dead, that poor old nag
We meier shall soc him more;
He used to drag a two wheeled cart,
All broken down before.
The poor old Bones has hay unknown,
He lived life forlnrn.
And everybody now believes,
Bo never tasted corn.
His los were plainly to be seem
His sides were thin and fiat,
And on his back wore bones like pegs,
Where one might hang hat.
But poor old Bones is ROW at rest.
Free from starvation's frown;
Though lis believed that he did not die,
But only-tumbted doUH.J
One morning. as this poor old horse
Was crawling up lane,
He laid his frame upon the ground
And never rose again.
Along his back, with sharpened knife.
His master slit the skin.
But neither flesh nor blood was there,
But ali was dry within.
Fast to the bone the skin adhered.
And would not come away,
So in hole old Bones was laid,
And there he lies to- day.

Old friend, accept this bottle

When you are down be-cider.
And if she thus INDUCES,
You may then have 10 guide her;
But she will say its owing to

FATTENING HOGS.

A rre<p ondent of the Southern Farmer
writing from Halifax county, n. c., says:
II have l,tely learned one thing with Ie
gard to wheat bran or shorts" which may
Lot be uninteresting to your readers. 1t is
about the best food for hogs that can be
twenty of the finest hogs have seen any
where, and throughout the entire summer
and part of the fall fed them on nothing but
shorts. They were in good order all the
time, but in October or November put
them up and changed the food to shpstuff
and just before killed gave them a little
corn. No one killed fatter hogs anywhere,
and the lard made flum them was very
abundant. Mr. Paschal Thomas of Green
vile, Va, FIRST called my attention to the
fact of the rapid growth of pigs on this
food, and upon fair trial ain sure never
saw anything equal it. Whether it ena-
bles the sow to afford more punishment. or
being soft and fine may be more readily di-
gested by the pigs than other food. l can
not undertake to say. but certain it is,
they keep in better order, grow faster than
on any other food | ever tried, and they al
ways have the appearance of improved
stock. Hon. NJ. w. Ransom, after beco,n-
ing satisfied of this, las determined to try
it on his farm
Another farmer writing to the n. C.
Planter. says:
"At every feeding place there should be
at least three pens; one for your small
pigs, another for your shoatS, and one for
Your breeders. Each one should be fed
separately. By thus arranging your pens
you can feed to better advantage, for fire.
quently one hog requires more than anoth-
er. Each pen should have a good trough
in it, for giving medicine. The trough
should always have a half bu>hFl or more
of strong ashes in it, we'll mixed with salt
which hogs will eat freely-and OCCASION
ally mix a small portion of corperas. This
cleanses the hogs of worms and stops near
II every disease the hog is liable to. In
spring and summer you should give small
quantities of sulphur once week, also rub
on tar mixed with lard. The sulphur and
tar will keep them clear of ticks, which are
more dangerous than bitter mast. The
salt. ashes. and coPperas should be given
the year round"

CURE FOR THE BITE OF A MAD Doc
A writer in the National Intelligencer saws
that spirits of hartshorn is a certain reme-
dy for the bite of a mad dog. The wound.
he adds, should be constantly bathed with
it. and three or four doses, diluted, taken
inwardly during the day. The hartsho n
d+c"mposes chemically the virus insimua-
ted into the wound, and immediately alters
and destroys its deleteriou>ness. The wri-
ter, who resided in Brazil for some time,
first tried it for the bite of a scorpion. and
found that it removed the pain and inflam-
alton alnlos: instantly. Subsequently, he
tried it for the bite of the rattlesnake, with
similar success. At the suggestion of the
writer, en- old friend and physician tried it
in cases of hydrophobia, and always with
success.
He PAID IN ADvANcE.-A contemporary
says:
There is man in our county who
always pays for his paper in advance. lie
has never had sick day in his lfe-never
bad any corns orthe toothache-his potatoes
never rot-the weevil never eats his wheat
the frost never kills his corn or beans-h:s
babies never cry in the highland his wife
never scolds, aud always wears the moderate
size hoops"

WASHING HoRsEs.-In regard to the
care Of horses Sir George Stephen
says: s 4 44s-e
Whenever it is necessary to wash a
horse's legs, dol in the morning. Most
groomssct on different principle, wash
them as soon as the animal comes in. I
am satisfied that this is a bad practice
When the roads are dirty and the wealth
er wet, and the legs being already soak
ed, washing can do no harm; but to del.
uge the legs with water, the moment a
horse enters the yard heated with exer-
else, is to my mind as unnatural and alb
surd, as to jump into shower bath, after
playing an hour at cricket, My plan is a
rubbing down with staaw and dry
brush, and the next morning wash as
clean as soap and water can make them.
Pick and wash the soles as soon as a
horse comes in. .t.,s.,-.-. .-.- H..
