imperfect mastication, there is the saliva
lacking in the digestion. Animals eating
hay OF other dry food which isof good
quality, do better than if it is wet, be-
cause the saliva is natural and the absence
of it is not, the chewing is natural and the
''bolting" of sloppy food is not.
If colts are dropped late, it is help to
them to be allowed to suck later than
others, especially if the mares are fed
with milk-producing forage, etc.; and If
colts are not of sufficient value to be fed
well, and for the dams Il, be treated well
too, ii is not worth while to rear such ami
mails.
''Calves need not suck COW theycan
be raised on SKINNED milk But to SC
coed in making them come to early matur,
ity, roots should be grown for their winter
feed; common turIlips are best for the
autumn, nd Swedish turnips for the win

absence of roots there is nothing better fol
them than flax-seed jelly or oil-eake; but
with roots would not give flax seed, a.

likewise, it would be better to have some

meal are all very well for calves, but more
expensive if given to try and feed as fat as
the former will force them to be.

Malarious Fogs.

Countless millions of cubic feet Of malarious
vapor reek from the moist earth every twenty-four
hours during the month Of November. This evapo-
rated moisture is the active principle which begets
fever and ague, bilious remittents, indigestion,
dyseufery, bilious cholic rheumatism, and many
other ailments which prevail moro generally in the
Fan than at other seasons, and some Of which,
in low, swampy regions and new clearings take the
form of virulent epidemics The best safeguard
AGAINST these complaints, as evidenced by the ex-
perience Of long series Of years, is HosTETTERs

the same time the most efficient of all vegetable

Advice TO HOrsemen.

A correspondent TO the Scientific
american gives this advice TO drivers
"Whenever they notice their horse di
recting his ears to any point whatever, Oh
indicating the slightest disposition to be
come afraid, let them, instead of pulling
the rein to bring the horse toward the OBJ
ject causing its nervousness, pull it on the
opposite side This viii instantly diver
the attention of the horse from the object
which is exciting suspicion, and in 9E
cases out of 100 the horse will pay nc
more attention to the object from which
he will fly away if forcibly driven to it by
pulling the wrong rein.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY

SORE THPoAT.-Soak a small piece OF
bread. about the size of a haZel-nut, and
then take pinch of cayenne pepper; mix
aud roll up in the form of a pill, which
the patient must swallow, when in about
three hours lie will be relieved from all
pain. In a severe case, a second dose
may be requisite, which has never been
known to fail.
ONION SArCE.-This is made in the fol
lowing way, and is excellent with roast
legof mutton, boiledmutton or roast pork
Peel six or seven good sized onions, and
boil in water. When tender, drain and
chop fine. Set to boil a little over a pint
of Whitewater will do if you have no
milk, but it viii require more butter
Take a tablespoonful of flour, blend with
q small piece of butter, and stir into the
milk. When boiling, put in the onions
and serve hot.
How TO CLEAN On CLoTHs.-TO ruin
them-clean them with hot water or soap
suds. and leave them half wiped, and they
will look very bright while wet and very
dingy and dirty when dry, and soon crack
and peel off. But if you wish to preserve
them, and have them look new and nice,
wash them with soft flannel and luke-warm
water and wipe thoroughly dry. II you
want them to look extra nice, after they
are dry drop a few spoOnfuls of milk over
them and rub them with small, dry
cloth.
To PICKLE Onions. Choose the small,
white onions; take off the brown skin
have ready nice tin stew pan of boiling
water; throw in as many onions as Will
cover the top. As soon as they look clear
on the outside, take them up as quick as
possible with a slice, and lay them on
clean cloth; cover them close with another,
and scald some more, and so on. Let
them lie to be cold; then put them in
Jar. or glass, or wide -mOuthed bottles, and
pour over them the best vinegar, just hot,
not boiling. When cold, cover them.
Should the outer skin shrivel, peel it off.
They must look clear. g

Bots i'm Horses.

DR.. d. P. Duncan, of Augusta, Ga,
communicates the following to the South
ern CultiU0tor:
"Having read many scientific articles
upon bots in horses, l propose briefly to
give you my views, together with my
treatment, which in no instance has failed
to afford immediate relief. am satisfied
that bots have never Except Indirectly
killed a horse. By accommodating in very
large numbers, and subsisting (as they do
in my opinion) upon the gastric juice OF
the stomach, they consume the chief ele-
ment which nature has provided for per
feet digestion, and are thus more frequent

which the animal eats. l tried sulphuric.
nitric, and muriatic acids without the
slightest effect, and found by experiment
ing that chloroform proved destructive
agent. / then gave from one TO three
tablespoons full of chloroform, with from
one-half to one pint of castor oil, ano
found that the combination acted like magic
The chloroform not only destroys or kills
the bot, but relaXes the system, rendering the
castor oil more powerful in their expul
sion. Since 1859, have never known
horse or mule to die with collie or bots

Mix, shake well together in bottle, and
scentto suit. 1t is best to add little
bergamot or citrOnella, or good cologne.
If the hair is only harsh and dry, and
needs some dressing, apply the mixture on
the hair only. But if it is falling out,
part the hair carefully and apply all over
the scalp, TO the hair bulbs. All of these
that are already diseased will of course
come out, but the dressing will soon check
the disease and save what is as yet healthy.
