CoLIC IN HORSES i an not in the
habit Of writing for the press, but l be-
lieyo that any person who is in posses
sion Of valuable information to the own
ers Of horses should not Withhold it from
the public, especially when horses are SO
high as they now are, when the loss Of
fine horse will cost tie owner from $500
to $500 to supply the los.
l think l know almost a certain cure
for collie 10 horses. have known it
tried four or five times, and never knew
it to fail in efaciing a cure.
The remedy is simple and easily ad-
ministered- much SO that when it was
prescribed for my horse the first time, !
had no faith in it.
The remedy is to drench the sick
hors with a quart OF slack water, which
can be readily procured at every black
smiths shop. have known three cases
cured by a single quart in each case.
had a horse down this week with
one of the worst cases of collie that ev-
er saw. The horse was so badly off
that one of the bystanders repeatedly re-
marked that he would not give fifty cents
for him.
commenced giving him slack water
at about four o'clock p. NJ, and gave
him quart at a time about every hour.
/ got down him, | suppose, three quarts
or gallon, perhaps a little more and
by nine o'clock p. NJ, he was eating fod-
der, and the next day he was in fine
spirits and was playing with the other
horses.
The remedy is so simple that it is DIFF
ficult to get people to try it. They are
like was when it was prescribed for
sick horse of mine once. really tho't
the gentleman was jestng for some time.

Agriculture in Orleans County.

MIR, EARLE: In late Communlca-
ton, stated that four things were Of
great Importance to prevent deterioration
Of soil in our county. On the first of
these, deeper and more blowing, and the
resons for it, then made some remarks
On the next, under draining Ialuded
to book prepared by Judge French of
Massachusetts. That book touches just
what nalf the farmers in the county need
TO know and to practice, and hope will
both know and practice before they suffer
the loss already suffered in the older
parts OF the country.
The third thing is saving the agents
for increasing the fertility Of our soil that
are now and always have been lost by
most farmers, and increasing the value
of what is saved
/. The house ,oasA By this I mean
the waste water Of the kitchen, the wash
room, and the bed chambers. In an or
binary family of six persons, this, with
the careful saving of the night soil, is
worth as much as the droppings Of the
barn where six COWS are kept, as the lat
ter is commonly preserved and used
The droppings and urine of a COW is am
ply efficient, not only TO prevent deteri-
Grafton, but increase the fertility of an
acre Of ground from year to year. If
so, it will be easy TO estimate the loss TO
every farmer annually who suffers the
house wash to be wasted, or so nearly
wasted as it usually is. "a penny saved
is two pence earned" is a motto that
should be inscribed on every part Of our
farm houses where it cannot fail to come
under the eye Of every member Of the
household. Arrangements should be
made to preserve all the urine as careful
ly as The night soil. The expense Of the
fixtures for this purpose need be only
triRing. a cement cistern placed below
the reach Of frost with proper conduct
ers and pump would be the best perma-
merit arrangement, but holders like those
used for sap, costing only two or three
dollars each, would answer good pur.
pose. From time TO time the con-
tents should be mixed with the compost
heap Of sods, bones, dry soil, OF muck
where that is available. Similar matter
should be placed under the privy suAi-
GENTLY offer. to absorb and preserve tue
liquid of the vault The compost heap
should, if possible, be under cover and,
as far as practicable, excluded from
winds; but if this cannot be in any case,
it should still be one Of the permanent
"institutions" at every farm house.
Muck is Of itself, with the addition Of
house wash, ashes, or lime, most valu-
able manure, and full half of the farmers
in the county can conveniently procure il
in any desirable quantity. But where
this cannot be conveniently procured, or
on new farms situated like most of those
in the Missisco Valley, there is no diff
cSliy in procuring loan, bones, brakes
&c. in any quantity sufficient to absorb
and retain the nutritiye properties of the
urine, suds, &c. This added TO his re-
sources of barn manure would make a
percent of additional profit from his farm.
But there is another branch of Ibis
subject of equal importance to be consid-
ered,--increasiug the amount and value
of barn manures.
Orleans independent standard. [volume] (Irasburgh, Vt.) 1856-1871, 1861-03-29

mouths too small TO be seen by the naked
eye. The finer the manure is made, the
more easily it dissolves in water, and the
sooner it passes into circulation. This,
doubtless, is one reason Of the almost i'm
mediate visible effects of Peruvian qua
no. 1t has been passed through the d.
gestive apparatus of birds and reduced
to much finer powder than it could be
by any mechanical means. So small a
quantity as a hundred pounds spread up
on an acre of moving in wet May day,
will improve its appearance in very
short time.
All observing, farmers nave noticed
that the finest and most thoroughly work
ed compost, other things being equal,
gives, uniformly, the best results. The
minute division of the particles is fayora-
bic to the chemical combinations that
take place in the soil. 1t becomes much
sooner available, and the cullgator gets
an earlier return for his investment in
fertilizers.
Fortunately, at this season we have a
very powerful agent that we can put to
this work Of communion without any
expense. The frost, with a fair chance
to work, is better than any clod-crusher
or mill 10 powder compost heap. One
Of the best meaus Of economising frost
for this purpose is to piow up the yard
whenever there comes thaw, or say
twice a month. Every turning Of the
contents Of the yard exposes new surfa-
ce5 to the action of the frost. We have
found it a very profitable employment to
fork over the compost heaps in the barn
cellar, and in the field, during the win
ter. Where the heaps are large, this
can be done quite rapidly, even in (reez-
ing weather; and the more it freezes
and thaws, the finer it becomes. Heaps
thus turned and thoroughly beaten up
with the shovel, come out in the 5pring
a fine homogeneous mass, good to spread
and pillow in, admirable for dropping in
the hill, and first rate for top-dressing
grass land.-Am. zig.

RAISING CALvEs.-Mr. J. A. Ed
wards Of Skencatcles, n. Y, gives, in
the Rural Ne,o Yorker, his process, as
follows
Remove the calf from the COW at the
nge OF two or three days, give it new mill,
for two or three weeks--four or FIVE quarts
Mt each meal--twice q day. at the end
Of that period commence giving milk
skinned after twelve hours once q day.
In one week, omit the new milk and give
only skinned milk. As they advance in
age, the milk may be allowed to stand a
longer time before skimming. Instead Of
giving meal and turning out to pasture, as
ID usually prac,iced, prefer keeping
them in large stable, allowing them to
run, and feeding them all the rowen or
nice clover hay they will eat with skim
med milk or whey for drink, until they
are five months old. 1.-THE stock is good,
my word for it, you win have calves worth
showing"
1t is, no doubt, far the best way in rails
ing calves to keep them in the stable
They grow faster, larger, and look better
than when allowed to run at large. We
have seen calf which came last April
that has not been out Of the stable more
than three or four times. 1t is pronoun-
ced by all who nave seen it one of the fin
est calves they have ever seen. We be-
lieye that our best dairymen now concede
that the best plan is to keep calves up.
