Quick and Easy Cure for Founder.

MANY years ago learned a cure for
founder in horses, whish is so simple, and
has proved SO successful in my hands, that
| send it to you, thinking it may be of ser
vice to some of your readers. Clean out
the bottom of foot thoroughly-hold up
the leg SO as to bring the bottom of the
hoof upward, holding it firmly in hori-
zontal position, and pour in, say q table
spoonful of Spirits Turpentine, if the cav
ity of the hoof will hold that much-if not,
pour in what it will hold, without danger
drumming over touch the Turpentine with
red hot iron, this will set it on fire; hold
the hoof firmly in position until it all burns
out. Great care must be taken that none
runs over on the hair of the hoof, lest the
skin be burned. If all the feet are affect
ed burn turpentine in each of them. Re-
lief will speedily follow and the animal
be ready for service in short time. Ionce
applied this remedy toa horse which had
been foundered twenty-four hours before
| saw him, and he was promptly relieved.
In another case, where the animal could
hardly be induced to move, his suffering
was 30 great, he was treated in the same
manner, as soon as his trouble was discov-
cred, and in less than an hour afterwards,
he was hitched to buggy and driven
some twenty-five miles the same day-all
lameness disappearing after he had trav-
eled few mlles.-SOesttere Catltioator.

This is practically the condition of most
of our land; it contains plant food enough
to double the average yield of crops, if it
were only made available to them, but the
unworked sub soil is like rock, combining
the roots of plants to the comparatively
thin arabic surface soil. Instead of covet-
ing your neighbours lands and putting
forth great efforts to secure more surface,
is it not more profitable to cultivate deeper
that which you already possess, and
double its preGuctiveness? With most
of our farm crops the amount of roots de-
termines the quantity of products, and
roots will develop abundantly wherever
there is room and food for them, but they
cannot push their way into stony humps,
nor live in hardpan layers where there is
no air.
On many farms undertaking lies at
the foundation of improved culture. The
stagnant water must pass off or air will
not enter the soil, nor the latter remain
loose any length of time after being
stirred. Then comes fair depth of sur
face blowing, followed by subsoiling TO
any practicable depth. This way of pre-
pairing stubble ground for spring grain is
excellent. Before sowing cultivate deep
across the burrows with long-toothed
cultivator. A seed bed of finely pulverized
earth, ten or twelve inches deep, can thus
be obtained. -'..e &c
We have seen oat-stubble prepared for
wheat by blowing to the depth of twelve
inches, narrowing, rolling, then stirring,
the soil nearly to the bottom of the fur
row by a long toothed wheel cultivator, to
which four horses were attached, four
abreast, and all was finely pulverized.
Such a chance for wheat on strong loan
or clay land is better than most summer
fallows.
Farmers, look to your possessions down
in the ground; there are richer mines than
those in the far mountains, and the
patient worker thereof wins health, peace
and competence. -Ioso0 homestead

Science Advances.

AS soon as an article purporting to be of utility
has been tested, and its merits endorsed by pub
lie opinion, unprincipled parties endeavor to re-
plenish their depleted purses by countsrfeiting,
and substituting spurious for the genuine arti-
Gle. Some time since, mercury, in the disguise OF
pills, powders, &C, was given for all diseases oil
the stomach and liver, while quinine was freely
administered for the chiils. At length HOS TET-
TIERS STOMACH BITTERS made Its advent,
and an entire new system of healing was inaugu-
rated. The beneficial effects of this valuable
preparation were ct once acknowledged, and
mineral poisons suffered to sink into that obscu.
rity to which an enlightened age has consigned
them. There have been many spurious Bitters
palmed upon the community, which, after trial,
have been found perfectly worthless, while HOS
LETTERS has proved a blessing to thousands,
who owe to it their restoration to health and
happiness. 4 l~..--..a ,.r..,.. .,.t.-.
For many years we have watched the steady
progress of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS
in public estimation, and its benefcent effects as
cure for all complaints arising from the stomach
of morbid nature, and we are free to say that it
can be relied upon as certain relief anu remedy.
Its proprietors have made the above preparation
after years Of careful study and sitting, and are
now reaping the reward claimed by this valuable
specific, and which they 30 richly merit 1t is the
only preparation of the kind that is reliable in
all cases. and it therefore demands the attention

Better TiIlage.

FARMERS in general expect yield of
crops more in proportion to the surface OF
land occupied than the depth of the soil
wherein they grow. Yet it is obvious
that If one should scatter seed over an
acre of rock it would perish: if over the
rock there was layer of soil two or three
inches in depth, the seed might reproduce
itself; add as much more soil and an ordi-
nary yield might result; and again if this
depth should be doubled, and made avail
able to the plant, who doubts that proper
tionately large profits would be derived !?
Suppose this layer of soil contained plant
food plentifully, but was of consistent,
impervious nature, SO that the tender
roots could not penetrate it, and make
use of its fertility, it would then require
loosening, pulverizing, aerating, and in
short, thorough cultivation, and according
to the depth and thoroughness of that
cultivation would be the amount of plant
food made available and consequently the
yield of the crop.

The Increase of Insects.

IT is a common remark that insects des-
tructive to fruit and injurious to fruit
trees, have been generally on the rapid
increase in most parts of the country.
The cultivation. and Improvement of the
land, and more abundant vegetable growth,
and other facilities for the multiplication
of these depredators, have favored this in
crease. Remedies are talked of and dis
cussed, but no general effort of an ener.
getic character is made to crush them.
At the present time, and for years past,
sentimental writers have proposed to throw
all the work on the birds. But although
some of the birds have increased almost
as rapidly as the insects, the latter still
multiply. They have proved entirely in
adequate for the purpose, although they
may have done some good. Instead of
looking idly on, and hoping that birds
may save the fruit, cultivators must take
hold vigorously with both hands One
active man is worth a thousand birds. AS
an example, we may mention single ex-
pertinent on the orchard caterpillar. This
insect appears in large numbers only &C.
caslonally. A few years since, it was
found to be rapidly increasing, and threat
ened on the approach of the growing sea-
son to strip fine young orchard of sew.
eral hundred pear trees. The birds had
proved entirely insufficient to check them.
An active man was set to work-first to
cut off and destroy the rings of eggs in
winter, and afterwards to swab or crush
the young larvae in their nests. Three
days were thus occupied altogether, and
the number of insects destroyed was est
mated at half million. Clean work was
made of them. All the birds in the
country would not have done it, Judging
from the slight impression they made on
the caterpillars In another instance q
nursery of several thousand pear trees be-
came badly infested with aphides, but the
birds did nothing. A man with a few
pals of strong soap suds cleared them in
two days. a
Naturalists and fruit men have been
searching for years to find some birds that
will take hold of the curculios Their
search has not been successful, unless we
except turkeys, and those have to be fed
with young larvae in the fallen fruit, and
not with the puncturing beetles. So long
as we look on with our hands in our
pockets, hoping that some other animal
will do the work we should perform our
selves, we may expect failure, For few
years past, during our own experience in
employing men, we have the trees bend
ing with heavy crops of plumbs. Before
we employed them, we had scarcely a
dozen good ones in q season, from six
dozen trees Country Gent.
