The sid that Kansas Just now most de- |
sircs. is that Strengthening and disposal Of
The forces Of this war which eha1l most ef-
fectually crush out all the enemies Of Lib
erty and Union. Save as an exponent of
these principles, Kansas herself has no
other enemies. Lawrence fell because the
citizens have from the first been identified
1filh whatever rcrtained to Freedom and
Loyalty, and when the enemies Of Law
renee bite the dust there dies with each q
later Of the Government. It is then not
revenge that wishes such fate
had a1rcady overtaken them; that
every Missouri homo which is
3 cocka1ice's den Of treason, and tho
eheltcr of bushwhackers, was laid waste !;
that neighborhoods which sustain guer-

The fu1row md the field to engage In the

NAKED ARMS AND NEcK.-A distinguished
physician, who died some years since in Paris,
declared, II believe that during the twenty-six
years that have practiced my profession in
this city, twenty thousand children have been
carried to the cemeteries, q sacrifice to the
absurd custom of exposing their arms naked. !"
have often thought il mother were anx-
ious to shov the soft white skin of her baby i,
and would cut round hole in the little things
dress, just over the heart, and then carry it
about for observation by the company, it
woald do very little harm. But to expose the
baby's arms, members SO far removed from
the heart, and with such feeble circulation at
best, is a most pernicious practice.
Put the bulb of thermometer in baby's
mouth, and the mercury rises to 80 degrees.
Now carry the same to his little hand; If the
arms are bare ami the evenings COO. the mer-
curry will sink to forty degrees. Ofcourse all
the blood which flows through those arms
must fall from 20 to 40 degrees below the tenn
perature of the heart. a St|
Need say when these currents of blood
flow back to the chest, the child's general vital
ity must be more or less compromised And
need add that we ought not to be surprised
at its frequent recurring affection of the ton
que, throat and stomach. ,us ....s .3,5a-
have seen more than one child with hab-
itual cough and hoarseness,o or choking with
mucus. entirely and permanently relieved by
simply keeping its hands and arms warm.
Every observing and progressive physician
has daily opportunity to witness the same
cure.-Leaois' Gymnastics. fsgs a4T 4

d We seldom pass through any portion of
the country, and spend any time among our
farmer friends, without obtaining some new
ideas, which will benefit many, if not our
readers. Indeed we are always in search Of
such ideas and improvements, a. will promote
the interest of our readers. We stopped
during the night, not many weeks ago, with
an obscure farmer, who never dreamed that
he knew anything that would benefit his
neighbors, or that was worth publishing,
although we found him . sound. practical
man, who always did everything pertaining
to his farm IS it should be and at the right
time. Our conversation turned upon the
management Of milk cows Hs said he had
satisfied himself, from long experience, that
their was no better feed for cows when milk.
ed, than potatoes. His mode of feeding them,
is to put them into vessel, after being cut,
if necessary, and pour boiling water over them,
and let them stand in the water until cool
during the cooling process mixing . little
meal, or shorts, or bran with the potatoes
and water. The water scalds the potatoes
sufficiently to render them easily mas:icat. d
by the animal, and the meal, or shorts, rem
ders them very palatable, and the mixture
produces more milk than any other food
which can be given to the cow, especially in
the spring. We are aware that potatoes are
frequently fed to cows, in the spring season
of the year, but we have never known . far
mer, except the one spoken Of above, who fed
them in his peculiar manner. Whether their
is any peculiar merit in his practice or not,
it is certain that no man in the whole region
where he lives, markets as much butter, from
the same number Of cows, as he does. 1t is
suggestion which requires no extra expense,
and but little more labor and if an increase
of milk, and sleek looking cows, would be
the result, no farmer ought to fail to act upon
it. iowa Homestead

Cure for Foot Rot I'm sheep.

A. A. Golf, Pennington, Ohio, contributes
to the americas Agriculturiss the following
preparation for curing foot rot in sheep, which
he says has been very effective in his neigh
borhood:
"Mix 3 OF. each of blue vitriol Cor sulphass
of copper, white vitriol Tor sutphats Of zinc),
verdigris Tor acetate Of copper, and gun.
powder, with ! pint each Of alchohol, spirits
turpentine, and strong vinegar. Cork up
tightly few days before using. 1t is easily
applied from a vial having quill inserted
through the cork. By dropping this mixture
into tho effected parts three times, once IN
ten days, cure will be effected.
One of the ingredients Of the above mix
ture. viz: sulphate of copper, in strong So
luton, has long been used by successful!
sheep owners, as specific for the cure Of
foot rot. Randall, in his work on Sheep, de-
tails numerous cases cured by himself with
this treatment Whether the addition of the
other articles ia beneficial, we are in doubt,
and sh recommend to try it only after
the sulphatc of copper had failed.
In applying either remedy it is essential
to pare away the hoof from the affected parts
to get st the diseased tissues, and saturate
them with the liquid. The solution Of blue
vitriol should be used as hot as can be
borne by the hand.
