Saw Dust for Bedding.

The London Field contains the
following account Of an expert
menting with this material /: Hav-
ing used saw dust as bedding for
horses for length of time, results
of my experience may not be I'M
acceptable to some OF your inquir-
ing readers. l litter the horses on
it to the depth of six to nine in
ches, raking off the damp and soil
ed surface every morning, and
spreading evenly a little fresh, re-
moving the whole only four times
a year. It's advantages appear to
be many, of which I will state a
few which gave it, in my estima-
ton, its great superiority over
straw. 1t is much cleaner and
more easily arranged, and of course
much cheaper at first cost, making,
in the end, excellent manure. 1t
Is peculiarly beneficial to the feet,
afording them a cool, porous stuff
fing, a substitute for the soil or
earth we always find in the hoofs
of horse at grass, and presents
the nearest resemblance to the
horses natural footing-the earth.
owe have never had a diseased
foot since the introduction of saw
dust in the stable, now some years
since. Horses bedded on sswdust
are also treer from dust and stains
than when on ordinary litter, (sim-
ply because sawdust is a better alb
sorbent, perhaps,) and testify to
their own approval of it by fire.
quently rolling and lying down for
hours in the day. 1t has also the
recommendation of being uneata-
ble-an advantage which all in
charge of horses with the habit
of consuming their litter, will read
ly admit. Being free from pun
gent smell, which is apt to accom-
pany straw, (unless scrupulously
kept it is innocent to weak eyes,
and its slight turpentine odor is
rather a sweetener than otherwise.
1t makes (when converted into
manure) the best possible founda-
ton for hot-beds, and, unlike other
stable manure, forms no harbor of
refuge for vermin. Pine sawdust
is the best, and oak the worst, as
the latter turns black the second
day"

DRESSING HAIR.-A writer says
quitting up the hair of children
in curling papers, breaks and
checks its growth; often pulls it
out by the roots. Curling irons
are fatal to the hair of both chill
dren and grown persons. The
heat saps up the juice out of the
fibres as effectually as fire or frost
saps the vitality of green branch,
leaving but dry, withered skele-
ton. The practice which hair
dressess have of frizzing out the
hair with a comb, to make the
most of it, is one of the most cru
ell injuries that can be inflicted on
the living hair. The comb cuts it
in the act of frizzing it. You can
test the truth of this by comEing
out the hair after it has been so
dressed. The hair sometimes
comes out by handfuIs; and fur
Their, this process tangles up the
hair, and a great deal of it is bro
ken and pulled out in trying to
comb it straight again"

How to Milk.

Prof. Law, of the Cornell Uni
versity, in a treatise on "garget"
and its cause, says:
Diseases of the teats will some
times induce garget, as when they
have been injured by the reckless
use of teat tubes, or, if the milk is
only partly drawn off, in conse-
queuce of open sores, resulting
from foot and mouth disease, cow
pox or watery growths. But the
retention of milk in the udder is
not the only evil attendant ON bad
milking. Some mixers seize the
root of the teat between the thumb
and fore finger, and then drag up
on it until it slips ont of their grasp.
In this way, teat and udder are
subjected to severe traction for an
indefinite number of times, and in
rude hands, are often severely in
jured. The proper mode of milk
ing Is to take the teat in the en-
tire hand, and after pressing it up
ward, that it may be we'll filled
from the capacious milk-reservoir
above, to compress it first at the
base between the thumb and fore
finger, then successfully by each
of the three succeeding fingers,
until completely emptied. The
teat is at the same time gently
drawn upon, but any severe trac.
tiop is altogether unnecessary, and
highly injurious. These remarks
on the mode of milking, and those
on the mode of milking clean, are
of more moment than many al
first suppose and in some local.
ties more COWS are ruined from
faults of this kind than from al
other causes which act specially OIL
the udder."

A German gives the following
as cure for hydrophobia "The
bite must be bathed as soon as
possible with warm vinegar and

few drops of muriatic acid poured
upon the wound will destroy the

the patient from all present or fu-

In a paper before the Newcastl,

In paper before the Newcastle
Farmers Club, Mr.. Throckley
saba few things strike me
which ought always to be remem-
bered in the management of cat
tie: First, never buy a bad bred
beast. Second, buy them cheap,
and they are half sold. Third,
feed them on the best food
Fourth, give them their food reg
uIarly, and let it be clean and
wholesome. Fifth, keep them
warm and comfortable. And last
Iy, sell as soon as they are good
beef, as that is the time the farm
er gets the most profit out of them.

some stone jars in which lard had
been packed until they became IN
fit for use, l made them perfectly
sweet by packing them full of fresh
earth, and letting it remain two

ment with me, and l suspect it
would be equally effective in any
case of foul earthen or stone ware.
