Stabiing the IlGrSe.

If our farmers would reflect for mo-
ment on their erroneous mode of stabllng
in This country, they would not be sur
priscd at occasionally having sick horse
TO treat, but should rather wonder. how
their stock escaped SO well. Some have
their stables too close, which obliges the
horse to breathe over and over again con-
lined air, made poisonous by the cmana.
tions from the filthy accumulations OF
urine, &c. The horse is taken from this
warm stable, with the pores of his skin
open, and suddenly plunged into chilly
rain or snow, to stand in the pasture, or
be worked for twelve hours. He is then
brought to his stable, where he must
again, for twelve. hours, breathe an air
confined and polluted with the ammonia
from the filth and urine Of his stall.
But, in this country, the converse usn-
silly obtains. After the days labor is
over, and the horse heated and wet with
perspiration, we turn him into his stable,
where the scarcity Of boards, and the i'm
mense size of the cracks between the logs,
of which his stable is built, permit the
cold wind, rain, and snow, to pelt the
poor animal through the night, while he
lies, attempting to sleep, in cold mud and
urine half way up his side. The consc-
qucuco is, he is completely chilled through,
aud rises next morning much exhausted
by his nights suffering.
When the blood is circulating freely,
and all at once the horse is subjected to
this sudden. severe degree of cold, the
circulation is suddenly driven to internal
organs, and, as the lungs arc most p!enti.
fully Supplied with blood-vessels, and have
already been irritatcd by breathing those
stenches of hartshorn, &C., from the sta
Die, we are not surprised to find coughs,
colds, and Pneumonia, occasionally.
But, if the horse escape disease, do not
accuse him of being all unthrifty animal
if he should lose hesh and his coat should
look little rough but, on the contrary.
if he should be troubled with weak eyes,
mango. scratches, or an occasional fit of
the collie, we should not be surprised.
w nat WISH w iliCuldle 10, lNo ILL Poi
tance Of keeping the horse, as well as 9TH
er domestic animals, in rs uniform tenn
peraturc as possible especially avoiding
sudden changes The stables should be
well ventilated-kefc free from mud
and the cold, rainy winds of Winter should
be excluded.
An over heated horse should never be
stabbed wet, but rubbed dry and, if the
weather is severe, blanket should be
thrown over him while he is cooling and
fresh supply of straw occasionally
thrown into his stall, will greatly add to
his comfort.
If care be taken in this way, and our
animals regularly fed and watered, We will
keep our stock III order on onethird less
feed than we make use Of under the pres.
cnt system; and. while our stock would
enjoy comparative immunity from dis
ease, our consciences would surely rest
easier.-R. J. GAGE, Scc'ry State -sg

CuAppED HANDs.-The discomfort and
annoyance of chapped hands is very great,
and might be avoided if people would
take proper care in drying their hands af:
ter washing them. Cold cream is a very
good remedy for this and other cutaneous
irritations, and the following recipe will
enable any one to prepare it where the
article cannot be procured at the shops:
Melt together in water bath THAT is,
e vessel immersed in boiling water, like
a carpenters glue c-pot) eight ounces ..
fine neat's-foot oil or almond oil, three
ounces of spermaceti, and one and hall
ounces of white wax; when thoroughly
melted pour the whole into pan, which,
in winter, must be kept very warm by
the fire; then, with clean, fiat stick,
beat the mass continually until it is uni
form in body; pour in half a pint OF
rose or orange flower water, and one-fourth
of en- ounce of spirit of berganiot, or any
other perfume desired then beat rapidly
again until the whole of the water and
spirit is taken up by the unctous portions.
If made in winter, all the materials must
be warmed as mixed, or the mass will be
lumpy. Lard or sweet oil may be sub.
stituted for the almond oil. If care is OBJ.
served, the mass will be as white as
snow.--Scientifc American.

Facts in Agriculture.

All soils upon which clover and grass
grow, must contain lime, either naturally
or by artificial application. 1t makes
very little difference, whether it be added
as lime stone, shell lime or mari.
All permanent Improvements of the
soil must depend upon lime as their foun'
dation.
Lands which have been under cultiva'
ton long time will be greatly improv-
ed by manuring Bone-dust, Guano, Phos-
phate oflime, Compost of fish, Ashes,
Shell lime, or Mari, in case the ground is
deficient in lime.
No land can be kept in a high condi-
ton of fertility, unless occasionally plant
ed in clover or grass, as crops OF rota-
ton.
All highly concentrated animal ma.
nures are much improved in value, and
made of more permanent benefit by mix
ing them with pulverized charcoal.
Deep ploughing improves, and mate
rally raises the productive power oflands
| which are wet.
Subsoil ploughing is also considered
salutary on ground that is not of wet
| nature.
Ali wet ground must be thoroughly
drained.
Grain fields should be cut several days
before the grain is fully ripe.
Clover, and grasses intended for hay,
should he cut in ful bloom.
Sandy lands may be much improved
by adding clay. If the soil is to be linn
cd or marled also, the ime.or mari may
be most effectively applied as compost
with the clay. Salt lye is better for
Stacking lime than water.
Previous mailing or grinding corn which
is fed to cattle, effects saving of at least
25 per cent.
The draining OBJ wet land increases its
value, since it causes it to produce q lar.
ger and heavier crop, and brings it ear
lier to maturity, and besides improves
the hcal,hfulness of the neighborhood.
Six measures of plaster sown broad
cast in the morning on clover will increase
the yield 100 per cent.
Periodical applications of ashes, serves
to keep lands in their full strength.
The highest possible cultivation of the
soil is necessary for the successful and
abundant development of the crop.
Crops cannot be realized in abundance,
through u succession of years, unless care
be taken to return to the ground an equiv
alent for those things taken away in tie
products.
TO keep meadows up to their fall pro-
ductiveness, they should be narrowed,
have manure scattered over them, and
rolled, every other fall.-Farm IL Gar

CANBY's tax order) while the 5000 hogs
substituted for them, with proper care, in
the course of the year, will make at least
5000 loads of good manure, worth $4,000.
Then it may be assumed, also, that each
dog will destroy and injurc stock to the
value of one sheep, worth in the aggre-
gate $4,000.
The account may then be stated thus:
100000 lbs gross pork at 10 cts. 100000
Taxes on 5000 dogs at ST.. 5000
Value of 5000 Sheep saved which
would be destroyed BY dogs. 3,ooO
Value Of 5000 loads manure at 81. 1000
Value of 5000 dog skins at 335c l,oOo
Making in the aggregate. $4,000
Is it true that $4,000 may be saved
to the people of Edgefield District SO
easily? And will we, in the light of such
facts, continue to give our children's bread
to the dogs?

For Me Adrertiscr.
Practical ECONOMY.

Ho~ large amount of Money can b.
made by the people Of ElgefeM Dis
rict acithout any outlay. Is II true
Mr.. ED1roR: This is short chapter
on dogs, and was suggested by big fat
sleek, worthless cur in my own yard
According to the United States Census
for 1850, which is before me, there were
in Edgefeld District in 1850, 2,O3O farms.
1t is probable that there are now, in 1868,
at least 5000 farms in Edgefeld District.
1t may be safely assumed as fact, that
every farm has at least one dog on it as
an average for if there be some farms
without dog, for every such farm there
are two with from two to four dogs. Al
lowing one deg to a farm, makes an ag-
grcgate Of 5000 dogs in the District. If
the census of the dogs were actually taken
it is highly probable the number would
be found to be nearer 10000 than 5000.
But for our purpose we will assume the
number of dogs in the District to be 5000.
Now, Mr.. EDITOR, it may further be
safely assumed that what will keep dog
in good condition for q year, will raise
pig that will weigh 300 pounds gross. If
We get rid Of the dogs and substitute
hogs in their stead, we have 5000 hogs
weighing each 200 pounds gross, equal to
100000 pounds of gross pork. which, at
10 cents per pound, is equal to 100000
without the outlay Of dollar.
Nor is this all, for if we take the trou.
bile to enter into minute account, it will
be found that there are several large items
of profit which have not entered into the
above estimate.
These 5000 dogs if killed would save
to the District $4,000 of Taxes, (see Gen.

Che 29eStern Democrat, Gharlotte, 2l.G.

Robbers are the most ingenious of men. A
new bold, and certainly most original trick
was recently played by one of their fraternity at
the consecratop of the new Chapel of Battersea,
in London. About the time of the ceremony a
well dressed man, mounted on handsome horse,
rode up to the church door, and, leaving his nag
in charge of boy, mingled with the worshippers
inside. His devout demeanor greatly edited all
who sat near him. At length when the last
psalm had been sung, and two of the elders of
the church were starting on their rounds to take
up collection, the interesting stranger took out
his purse, and, depositing piece of gold coin in
his hat, also made the tour of the aisles holding
out the hat to the faithful. Parson and wor-
shippers alike were greatly moved by this exhi-
bition of zeal, and ascribed it to sudden con-
version, so that the hat was quickly laden with
big and little contributions. But what was the
horror of all parties when they saw the collector
disappear out of the church door instead of re-
turning with his collection to the sacristy! Be-
fore they had recovered from their establishment,
he had remounted his horse and galloped away.
This was a sudden conversion, but of the funds
of the church.
