Treatment of Collie in Horses.

Mr.. A. j. Murray, Veterinary Surgeon,
lately from England, who conducts the Vet
Urinary department of the IIestetn Rural,
| Detroit, Mich. comments as follows on the
treatment of collie in horses, very common
disorder though seldom properly understood.
| Many different remedies are recommended
in collie, but it may, perhaps, be advisable
| TO advert in the first place to those which
should not be gtcea. Almost every one con-
slders himself competent to prescribe for
this disease, though he may be utterly igno-
rant Of the effects Of the dose which he re-
commends.. Bleeding is generally recon-
mended to begin with, and then dose of
vinegar or turpentinc is poured down the
horses throat. have even known the CUTS
of newly chicken to be given as q
remedy.
Horses affected with collie are frequently
killed by the administration of I'M proper
remedies Even those who style themselves
veterinary surgeons " are frequently igno-
rant of the doses in which the most ordinaI
remedies should be given. When asked 10
consult lately with one Of these "sclf made
practitioners, practising in Detroit, ] found
he did not even know the doses in which ii q
most ordinary medicines should be giver,
but mentioned dose about hundred timt :
larger than the proper one. When such is-
norance as this is brought to bear on the
treatment of disease, it is not very astonish.
ing that the result should often prove fatal.
Care should he taken to place the patient
in box.stall, or in some part Of the stable
where there will be less danger of his injur-
ing himself in his struggles than il he were
LETT in his stall. An ounce of sulphuric
Rther and an ounce of tincture OF opium
should be given in pint Of tcpd water, and
this dose may be repeated in half an hour
if the horse has not been relieved BY the
first one.
In hatulcnt collie great benefit is obtained
by the frequent administration of injections.
and they are also very seryiceable when tho
collie arises from indigestion, which it fire..
quently, does. Seven or eight drachms OF
aloes should also be given, as this will re,
move any irritating substances from the iu-
ttstine which may have given rise to tina
collie.
1t is very absurd practice to run horses
about when suffering from collie. Those
who adopt this think that the horse is bene-
lifted by it. | would suggest, however, that
IN the treatment OF horses, the dictates OF
common sense should not be entirely absn.
doned. Would those who adopt this mode
OF treatment Nel and think it beneficial tn
be chased about and whip numerically
applied to their back and legs when they
were suffering from an aeutely painful dis
ease? They might show considerable agility
under such an ordeal, but they would not
feel very grateful to the physician to'whose
skill and humanity they were indebted for
such heroic treatment. When horse is
suffering from collie, never allow him to be-
disturbed, except when it is necessary to
administer medicine to him. | have known
a man to advise having horse ridden about,
only q short time before the animal died,

Curious Clock.

Many years ago there was a clock pade
by one Droz, a mechanic of Geneva, which
was renowned for its ingenious construction
This clock was so made as to be capable of
performing the following movements
There was exhibited on it negro, a sbep
herd, and dog. When the clock strucE.
the shepherd played six tunes on his flute.
| and the dog approached and fawned upon
him. The clock was exhibited to the king
OF Spain, who was greatly delighted with it.
The genteness of my dog" said Droz,
sis his least merit. If your majesty touch
one of the apples which you see in the shep.
herds basket, you will admire the fidelity
of this ANIMAL
The king took an apple, and the dog flew
at his hand, and parked so loud that the
king dog, which was in the same room.
during the exhibition, began to bark also;
at which the superstitious courtiers, not
doubling that it was an affair of witchcraft,
hastily lett the room, crossing themselves
ms they went out. Having desired the min
lster OF marine, who was the only one who
dared to stay behind, to ask the negro what
o clock 1t was, the minister asked but re-
ceived no reply. Droz then observed that
the negro had not yet learned Spanish; upon
which the minister repeated the question in
French, and the black Immediately answer
ed him.
At this new prodigy the firmness of the
minister iorsook him, aud he retrcatcd pre-
cip'tately, declaring that it must be the work
ct supernatural being. 1t is probable that.
IN the performance Of these tricks, Droz
touched certain springs in the mechanism,
although shat is not mentioned in any oftbe
accounts OF his clock.

An English Carpet Factory.

Col. Forney in recent letter from Hall.
fax, thus describes a carpet manufactory-
the largest establishment of the kind in the
world:
" We can form little idea, in the United
States, of the extent of some of these man.
niactories. That of Sir Francis Crosley, a,
this place. would alone repay q trip across
the Atlantic TO the intelligent visitor, espe.
cially to one who desired to see the English
masses in their best condition. These great
works comprise u large number of patent
looms for tile weaving of tapestry, velvet
and Brussels carpets also, table covers and
hearth rugs-hand-lo Cor weaving Scotch
carpets, and machinery Tor preparing and
spinning worsted, WOODEN, linen, and cotton,
which are cardcd, combed, spun, dyed, and
printed on the premises. 1t is the largest
mandatory OF the kind in the world, com.
prisng eighteen and half acres of Flooring,
using two thousand horse, power in its steam
machinery, and giving employment to over
Tour thousand men, women, and children.
| saw this mass of human beings dismissed
for and returning from their noon day meal
"a sight shall never forget. They seemed
unusually contented and healthy. After.
wards. in company with Mr. Orne and the
son Of the baronet, had an opportunity Of
seeing them at their labors. Taking the
cotton and wool almost as they came from
the growers hands, from the early cleaning
to the first dyeing, we followed them through
their various processes until we stood in the
department where the finished fabrics are
stored which veSttained universal celeb.
rity, and are used in all parts of the civiliz,
ed world.
The various inventions which have brought
this class of manufactures so near perfection
from that now two centuries old to the great
discovery of one Of our own countrymen
here exhibited their amazing capacities. -
To see more machines performing the work
of human beings, sorting delicate threads,
producing most beautiful colors, and com
bining these threads and colors into pictures
and figures rivaling the genius of the indi.
vdnal artist, wasan experience that awaken
ed many reflections; it was another proof of
the Immortality of the soul, for, if the Crea
tor had destined man to perish with the
beasts, he would never have endowed him
with these God.lke faculties. The build.
ing in which these immense operations are
carried on are proportionately gigantic. -
AS have stated, they cover acres, and the
manner of their construction is alike sub
stantial and ornate. Some of the buildings
are nine stories high and as you stand on
one Of these "hoors' and cast your eye
along the forest Of looms, and watch the
persons engaged on them, you seem to be
in the busy street of some curious old city.

For BuRNs.-We notice in an English
journal a remedy for burns, given by a
"Regular Practitioner" 1t may be famil-
lar TO many; but it is well for everybody to
know remedy which may be promptly APP
piled to burns. This is one: Mix common
whiting with sweet oil, or with water. Lay
on and around the burned surface u thick
coat of the mixture. Keep it moist, and at
that will prevent rapid evaporation. This
acts like charm, and the most agonizing
pain is eased.
