that messenger was despatched to

From these unusual proceedings it

salt as "a Cure for Fever
and Agup.

A correspondent of the Baltimore
American says During a recent trip
through several of the Western States,
! met gentleman who had used salt
externally for years as a preventative,
with entire satisfaction. a physician
of Pittsburg told him to wear some in
his shoes, and he had his stockings pre-
pared by dipping the bottoms in n
strong brine and letting them dry. For
ten years he escaped the chills, but tir-
ing of the experiment, and believing he
was indulgiBg in mere fancy, he dis
continued the use of salt, but he con-
tracted the disease again, and it contin-
ued with him until he resumed the
practice of the previous ten years. He
also stated that in one ague district
through which he travelled he met with
several members of firm who had es-
capped the disease, and on inquiry no
learned that they had been in the habit
of tasting salt as they dealt it out to
their customers.

MANAGEMENT of Brooms.

If brooms are wet in boiling suds
once week, they will become very
tough, will not cut the carpet, last much
longer, and always sweep like new
broom. A very dusty carpet may be
cleaned by setting pail of cold water
out blythe door, wet the broom in it,
knock it to get off all the drops, sweep
yard or so, then wash the broom as
before and sweep again, being careful to
shake all the drops Off the broom and
not sweep far at a time. If done with
care, it will clean carpet very nicely,
and you will be surprised at the quanti-
ty of dirt in the water. The water may
need changing once or twice, if the
carpet is very dusty. Snow sprinkled
over carpet and swept off before it has
time to melt and dissolve, is also nice
for renovating a soiled carpet. Mois-
tened Indian-meal is used with good
effect by some MISREPRESENTATION
Courier.

Hogs want sulphur.

Whether hogs require sulphur as an
essential to their health, or whether il
is sought by them as condiment, may
not be known for certainty. But one
thing is sure, they devour it with greed
whenever it is to be found. 1t is for
this purpose, probably, that they eat
large quantities Of soft coal, which con-
tains large amount of sulpher. Per-
haps this is the most economical meth
cd Of supplying hogs with sulphur
during the winter, when they require Il
good deal of carbon. But in the sum-
mer ii is better to feed it to them in
substances which contain less carbon, OH
account of their producing less heat.
Mustard is one of the best things for
this purpose, and on that account some
of it should be sown in every pasture
into which hogs are turned. If hogs
are kept up, or are in small yards, it is
well to supply them with the wild mus
tard that grows in the fields, or high
ways, or to cultivate some of the better
varieties for them. They will eat its
leaves, flowers, seeds and stalks.-Prai-
yie Farmer.

AGRICULTURAL & DOMESTIC.
The way 20 nInnkct HORSES.

Those parts Of the body of horse
which surround the lungs require the
benefit of blanket in preference to his
TANKS and rumps. When we are eX-
posed to current of cold air, to guard
against any injury from contracting
cold, we shield our shoulders, neck,
chest and back. If these parts be pro-
tected, the lower part of the body will
endure a degree of cold far more intense,
without any injury TO the body, than if
the lungs were not kept warm with
suitable covering. The same thing
holds good in the protection of horses.
The blankets should cover the neck,
withers and shoulders, and brought
around the breast and buttoned or buck
led together as closely as a man but.
tons his overcoat when about to face a
driving storm. Let the lungs of a
horse be kept well protected with a
heavy blanket, and he will seldom con-
tract cold, even if the hindmost parts
of the body are not covered.

A Bodv and Mind Disease.

such is dyspepsia. The stomach and the brain
are too intimately allied for the one to suffer
without the other, SO that dyspepsia and despond-
irritation of the stomach is almost invariably
accompanied by irritation of the temper,
The invigoratipg and tranquillizing operation
of Hostetter's Bitters is most powerfully deYel-
oped in cases of indigestion. The first effect of
this agreeable tonic is comforting and encourag-
ing. a mild glow pervades the system, the
chronic uneasiness in the region of the stomach
is lessened, and the nervous restlessness which
characterizes the disease is abated. This i'm
provement is not transient. 1t Is not succeeded
by the return of the old symptoms with super
added force, as is always the case when unmedi-
Gated stimulants are given for the complaint.
Each dose seems TO impart permanent access
sion OF healthful invigoratiOn, But this is not
all. The aperient ana antibilllous properties o
the preparation are scarcely secondary in import
ance to its tonic virtues. If there 10 an overflow
of bile the secretion is soon brought within prop
er limits, and if the blleary organ is inert and
torpid it is toned and regulated. The effect upon
the dscharging organs is equally salutary, and
in cases OF constipation the cathartic action is
just sufficient to produce the desired result grad
ually and without pain. The bitters also pro-
mote healthy evaporation from the surface which
is particularly desirable at this season when
sudden spells OF raw, unpleasant weather are
apt TO check the natural perspiration and pro-
duce congestion OF the liver, coughs, and colds.
