"BLAcK LEG."-This is the name given to a
very fatal disease, just now carrying off great
many cattle and pigs in Illinois Black leg IS
nothing more nor less than stagEation OF the
Elood; and when an animal becomes lame with 1t,
It is very generally the case that mortheatlon has
commenced. and that the animal will die. In the
last stage of the disease excessive bleeding is the
only remedy, but it is too often the case that no
blood at all can be got The blood is generally
very thick and black. aa sv

SEVENTEEN YEAR LoCUsTs.-The following
statement of the groundessness OF fears as to the
devastation to be committed by the seventeen year
ocusts, which, it is announced, will appear at the
South this year, will be read with interest by
aericulturists. We copy from the New lork
Journal Of Commerce: B.. ,.s .-.gg-ey-.. Isl
In J;eger's "Life of North American insects"
work recently published, is a brief sketch Of the
history and habits OF this species of locust, in
which the assertion that they make their appearance
only once in seventeen years. pronounced erroneous
as we'll as that they are destructive to vegetation
The writer states that he has observed them yearly
for twentyseven successive years; though there Is
a great difference in their numbers IN dTi1Srent
years The is true of other insects, lparticu-
Iarly rose-bugs. Some years we are overloaded
with them and again in others there are scarcely
any. Yet there are instances where the locust
have been observed in the same place only after
an interval Of several years, perhaps seventeen,
while during this interval they have been very
abundant in other localities. They are, however,
seen yearly in one place or another. With regard
to the notion that these insects very destructive
to vege tation, the writer asserts that they are
harmless. He says: ..
"They cannot be classcd among the injurious
insects for they cannot devour vegetables and
| fruits like other insects, because they have no
mouth; and as has been said before, they suck
with their snouts only the dew Of leaves fJr their
nourishment, during the two short months of their
existence in their perfect form. Even in their
subterranean abode, during the condition of larvae,
although feeding upon the roots of several plants,
their injury to vegetation is very trifing." ~
Should these ocusts make their appearance as
predicted the farmers will have opportunity
of testing the correctness of the latter statement

FEEDING CARROTS TO HrRsEs.-A CORE

FEEDING CARROTS TO HrRsEs.-A cores.
pondent of the Working Farmer writes that
his attention has lately been callel 10 the
best mode of feeding carrots to horses, and
after many experiments he has arrived at the
following conclusions The carrots should
be sliced by an ordinary cutter and fed at the
time the animal gets his regular feed. If the
horse has been fed with four quarts of oats at
q time give him two quarts of oats and two
quarts of sliced carrots; by such practice the
nitrogeuous part of the oas has no chance 10
pass Off a fluid state; but combines with
the carrot and forms gelatinous substance
that is retained to supply the wants of the
body, and give muscular strength to the ami.
nal. Carrots alone are not as good as oats
for working horse, but carrots and oats fed
according to above directions, are better
than oats.

Young.

About two years ago We first mentioned
what we have since tried and proved entirely
cffectual as preventive against the killing OF
pigs by the mother-an unnatural, though by
no means An unusual proceeding on the part
of some sows. The matter was again brought
to our minds bya communication from L. &.
Buxton. of Yarmouth, who says there has
been an unusual loss of pigs in his neighbor.
hood within few years past, and recommends,
as the easiest and sureSt preventive, to give
the SOW about half pint of good rum or gin,
which soon produces intoxication, and the
drunken mother, unlike some human mothers,
becomes entirely harmless towards her young,
and will even accommodate her position to the
best advantage of her pigs, and on her rccov-
ery from her BENDER" she becomes so much
civilized in her disposition as to eradicate all
signs of sayagepess towards her young, and
she will manifest all the motherly care that is
due to her "pledges of affection" We also
know of this remedy being tried by a neighbor
of ours but a few days since, and proving en-
tirely eHectnal, not only overcoming the dis.
position of the SOW to kill the pigs, but making
her as careful of them as could be desired.-

The Country Lassic.

Inc country LoSSlc.
She blossomcd in tho country,
Where sunny summer filings
Her rosy arms around the earth,
And brightest blessings brings;
Health was her sole inheritance,
And grace her only dover;
never dreamed the wild wood
Contained go swee. flower.
Far distant from the city.
And inland from the sea,
Ny lassie hloomed in goodness,
As pure as pure could be;
She caught her dewy freshness
From hill and mountain bower,
l never dreamed the will wood
Contained so sweet flower.
Tue rainbow must have lent her
S"in- ut its airy grace;
The wild rose parted with blush,
Tha. nestled on her face;
The sunbeams got entanslcd in
The long waves Of her hair,
Or she had never grown to be
So modest and so fair.
The early birds have taught her
Their joyous matin song,
And some Of their soft innocence,
She's been with them so long;
And for her now if need be,
I'd part with wealth and power,
Incver dreamed the wild wood
Contained so sweet flower.

SOMETHING WORTH KNowISG.-One day
last week, while purchasing lot of dried
fruit, We discovered small pieces Of sassalras
bark mixed amongst it, and upon inquiry
were informed that it was preventive agui Ist
the worm. 1t is said that dried fruit put
away with little bark, (%ay large hnndfi.l
to the bushrl) will save for years unmolestcl
by those troublesome little insects which SO
often destroy hundreds of bushels in single
season. The remedy is cheap and simple,
and We venture to say good oue.-lexing.
