y SssssSshc following romedy: A great many
vslsAb.e horses are annually killed by being
drepohod with various medicines rccommen.
dedby quaoks. Let me toll your roaders tho
bit remedy for either hstuont or spasmodic
sofo that yo ever seen triod. 1t is to
/give copious injections of warm water to move
/ tho bowels, and when that is done your horse
is safe. l have seon many horses cured by
this treatment, and mono killed. All 80 treat
cd havo speedily recovered. If drenohing
will be persisted in, take handful of ground
ginger and put it in quart of water ana let
tbo for fifteen minutes, and when it cools
pour it down tho throat of tho horse. This
warns the stomach and bowels, and is an cx-
collont remedy. Let any person violently at.
tackled with colo, drink ginger tea, thus pre-
pared, and he will find speedy relief. Aud
what is good for man in sickness is good for q
horse with the same sickness. Man is an an

ease of the other, tho world over
IMPROVING PAsrUREs.-Th f" American
Farmer" has been discussing tho subject as
to what stock most onriches pastures. JLor-
ses arc considered tho very worst fertilizers of
pastures; being dainty feeders, they are apt
to grazc only in spots, to tho great injury Of
the grass The same objection, though in
less degree, holds against cattle, and their ma
nure is not scattered, sufficiently for the good
OF tho land. Sheep being even grazcrs, and
ranging over tho whole field, scatter their ma
nure in tho very best form as top dressing
and are therefore regarded as tho very best
stock for enriching pasture land.

PIcKLED CABBAaE.-A correspondent of
tho "Country Gentleman" says: In res
ponsc to tho enquiry, chow to pickle cab
bagor' | send tho following, which my
folks have tried several years, and know to
DO good, and is liked by those who have eaten
it. 1t keeps woll year, and how much lon
gor it would keep 1 am unable to say. II
ono is not over nice in regard to the form in
which it is served, think it will suit tho
palate of any who arc fond of the like pickle.
Take any quantity Of woll formed cabbage
heads, and thick mcatcd squash, or bcll-rcp-
pors, and chop them fine and mix. Use about
one-third pepper, and two thirds or more Of
cabbage after being chopped; for each gallon
take one hcaping teaspoonful Of ground cloves,
about half that quantity Of ground cinnamon,
half tca-cupful of whole mustard seeds, and
two tablc-spoonfuls Of fine salt; mix thorough

40 ssoaiding hot cider vinegar; oovor and set
In the store room, where it will keep cool and
not freeze, It will answer to use after Cd
hours Small green tomatoes or other vcgc-
tables may be addcd-if desired, and picked
whole. Ono who docs not like to be at tho
trouble of stuffing peppers will here find an
excellent substitute The vinegar should not
riao above the cabbage, only we'll saturato the
