Garget and its Cure.

At different times hav9 had several val
liable cows affected with the garget, and
some of them have lost the use of portion
of their udders in consequence of it. A
number of years since a COW of mine had
this disease, and short time after this, a
relation of mine, an old farmer, was visit
ing me, and being in the yard while was
milking this COW, he inquired what was the
matter with her udder | told him she had
lost the use of a. part of it by having the
garget. He replied that there was no need
of COWS being injured by that-he could
cure the worst case of the disease in three
days--that the hardest case of garget that
he ever saw was cured in less than that
time with piece of garget root not larger
than a plum, by putting it in her dewlap
for rowel. He said the effect of putting
in a seaton would be to draw the swelling
from the udder that he put it in the dew
lap, in order to get the swelling as far from
the udder 9s could be, and that in this
place it would be the least trouble to the
cow, as in some cases there would be con-
siderable swelling about the seaton. 4 few
weeks after, this COW of mine had another
attack Of the disease One part of her I'D
der was swollen very much and quite hard
so much that could get no milk from it.
now concluded to try the efficacy of a
garget seaton. With sharp knife l made
an incision in the side of her dewlap, just
forward of :the brisket, and inserted a
piece of garget root about the size of a
common plum, and then took stitch with
a Leedle and thread across the cut, to pre-
vent the seaton from slipping out The re-
suit was as follows In about twelve hours
from this time the swelling and hardness in
the udder had diminished considerably, so
that l could get some milk from it. | no
ticed at this time that the swelling had ex-
tended along on her belly toward the bris-
ket,and that there was some swelling about
the seaton. In twenty-four hours the swell
ling and hardness in the udder were nearly
gone, that around the seaton much increas-
ed, and in less than two days the cow was
apparently as well as she had beer, gave
milk as freely, and as good as usual The
swelling on her dewlap continued for few
days, then subsidized, and the cut healed up
The remedy is safe and cheap one, and
can be quickly and easily applied by any
one without injury to the cow.-Boston Oul-

Causes and Management of diseases in Hogs.

Most of the diseases may be prevented
by proper care in general treatment of
swine, dry, clean and well ventilated dapart-
ments, proper food of sufficient variety
The general idea is, it's good enough for the
hog, and every filthy and nauseous thing is
thrown to him-rotten potatoes and fruit,
spoiled bread, highly fermented and decom+
posing farinaceous substances, dead ami
mails, from whatever cause, and much other
unwholesome refuse. The things, without
a sufficient admixture of other more whole
some food, together with lying on dung
heaps, inhaling any quantity of deleterious
gas, remaining far too long on muddy and
cold ground, too long exposed in inclement
weather, &C., are fruitful sources of diseas-.
es, and it will be found much easier to
guard against these things than to admin
lister medicine to hog minus his appetite
The discovery of any disease in or on a
pig, should be the watchword for the re-
moving him from his companions, if he has
any An unusual appearance of the hair,
or redness of the skin, indicates mange-he
should be well washed with warm water,
soap and brush, then rub most any kind of
oil or grease over him, and repeat the ope-
ration in few days if he does not appear
all right if too costive, administer any
purgative as you would to human subject.
A few doses of dissolved copperas, or of
sulphur, given in their feed, will help to
eradicate almost any skin disease. Cop
peras is also good for what's called kidney
worm, indicated by weakness, or the loss
of the use of the hind parts, and still have
good appetite. When pig appears Grip
pling or uDwell, examine and clean out the
orifces in the inside of the fore leg. The
most successful medicine l have ever tried
for skin disease, and perhaps as preven-
tative of any other disease, is warm water,
soft soap, and brush, frequently applied,
with plenty of good wholesome food given,
not too warm, plenty of wheat straw, in a
dry, sheltered and not too close sty. For
diarrh@a or looseness, change the food to
more binding diet whole rye is good, also
corn or flour, aud use common sense, as in
treatment of human patient, in all cases.
A convenient mode of washing pigs is to
have narrow, deep store box, put the pig
in-no squealing, or splashing Of water
over the operator.
Hogs will feed better and cheaper few in
a sty, say about two, as they will eat their
food more leisurely, keep quiet and conten-
ted whereas when many are together, they
seem to forget even common respect for
their companions, and rush frantically to
the trough, eat rapidly, knock one another
about, beat off the weaker portion waste
the feed, and keep up general excitement,

Decorate the Homestead.

Next to wholesome food, home pleasures
are necessary to enliven our spirits, promote
our gooa health, ,ahd give a zest to rural life
What can give greater satisfaction to fam
lily of refined taste than to have the grounds
around the homestead decorated with the
beauties of nature so bountifully furnished
us The species and varieties of trees,
shrubs, roses, vines, &c, are now so numer-
GUS that choice selection can be made to
suit every cline, soil and exposure, and to
bloom and fruit all the growing season.
See them tastefully arranged and gorgeous
ly dressed with foliage of various colors,
and decked with blooms far transcending
the mostly costly jewelry in brilliancy, and
perfuming the air with their fragrance In
windy days they gracefully bow, prance,
and whirl around like sprightly youth in the
dance, and the melody of the breeze serves
them for music. How beautiful the picture
and gre 1t the enjoyment, to those who can
appreciate. 1t makes cot palace, and
home paradise the owner king, and
his wife queen; it imp ,rts dignity to
the manly graces of sons, and lustre to the
beauties and virtues of daughters The
passing wayfarer is delighted with the
scene, and sets it down in his mind as the
abode of the great aud good in heart, and
the virtuous and wise in actions.
After planting climbing vines to clothe
the veranda and few deciduous trees
around the housefor shade in summer, all
the other trees, shrubs and roses, should be
so arranged over the lawn that all will be
seen at one view Set the more dwarf near
er the house, the taller farther of, and they
will appear to rise in graceful folds as they
recede from the eye, and the contrast of
size, form and color, Of the various individ-
uals will show to greater advantage, and
that will give additional graces to their
charm.--Rural advertiser.

The American theory culminates pro-
perly in the sacredness Of the rights of
iindividuals-of each single individual.
That, after all, is what Washington
carved out with the sword, and Jeffer.
son, filtering it through his subtle and
free mind, drew up and put on record
with the pen.
1t is well known that, in the politi-
cal and legal history of the United
States, the only departures or compro
misses of the kind alluded to, have been
those in the interests of slavery, and of
tits manifold incidents. | do not, of
course, propose to go over the thousand
times told tale of the past sixty years.
to-day. Slavery, as confessed legali-
ty, is, as we all know, no more but
some Of the most important of its incl
dents or compromises still remain blots
and incongruities upon the law. What
equitable reason can be given why
these incidents, also, should not be
erased? Time was when the brains
were out the man would die; but now
we see the limbs demanding to live and
move as if the nerves still existed. The
persistent attempt to keep in the Con.
stitution the rule of an unequal and un-
fair basis of representation is perlous
to the future peace of the country, and
will surely cause chaing sense ofin-
juries as long as it is continued. Fur
thermore, the high mission of the
Union party, as avowed in the Balti-
more Convention--to eXtirpate slavery
includes the removal of all the hate
and anti popular excresccnces, cngraft-
cd by that institution for its selfish ag-
grandizement upon our free national
laws and policy. That high mission
AID obligation can not be accomplish.
ed until all which slavery has so en-.
grated is cut out for until then slave
ry is not extirpated.
Earnestly sympathizing with the
men who look upon law of equal re-
presentation as the only guaranty for
popular rights, / should feel myself out
OF place in party that showed basis
OF representation giving pecul@ and
unjust advantages to a portion of the
body polite, to the detriment and dis
satisfaction Of the whole.
United with you and all good men
in the soulfelt desire that peace, pros
perity, and amicable brotherhood
which is more than any worldly pros,
perity, may soon prevail, and contin-
ne unbroken through our common
country; that the former enmity shall
die out and be forever lost, and that
all over tho broad domain of America
