USEFUL sroCK RECIPES.

-
gives the following directions on the
subject: The peculiarities of differ
ent COWS should be observed, and Ia
ken into account. The number of
hours during which they take the
bull varies from twenty-four to forty
eight. To obtain heifeT, the first Of
this period is selected: for bull calf
the latter part.
Exceptions animals,.such as are fat
or tied up, afford 10 fair criterion
but healthy, well-cOnstituted speci-
mems, living in the open air, should
be selected for experiments.
CURE FOR CALLS, SORES, SCRATCHES.
Take two ounces extract of lead, /
two ounces spirits of wine, one ounce (
sal ammOniac, halfsounce white VItri-
oil, four ounces soft water; mix, dis
solve, and wash three or four times a /
day.
FOUNDER OR LAMNITIs.-A horse /
with hminitis should have his shoes
removed in the first place, and should /
then have his feet in warm bran pOul-
tees. They should be renewed every
twelve hours, and this treatment
should be continued several days. a
dose Of physic should also be given,
seven or eight drachms of aloes in
ball, and the diet should be limited TO
bran mashcs and q little hay for sew
eIal DAYS afterwards. Even when the
horse has recovered oats should be
giYes-srsz.r >sriugly tor time.
Ary heaYilNin this dis
ease, aid Some |5e2ssa:s ering, but
we think that ueither " plans
are attended with any b g
especially object to blcedin e
toe, as it frequently causes sfe-
some sores in the foot.
ACE ON CATTLE.-ro kill thes& par-
asfrcs, use three parts of keroseI Oil
TO one of 0rd or curriers' oil :;
well, and apply with a brush to
parts where the lice appear in greaN
number.
THROAT DISTEMPER IN HORSES
Take DEVILS bit, or wild turnip if
green, CRATE Il small one fine; if dry,
Il heaped spoonful, mix ii with wet
bran or oats. This repeatedly
has never been known to fail.
also Il certain cure fOra cough.
Collie IN HoRsEs.--We have never
known the following prescription to
fail of curing collie III horses: Aro-
matte spirits of ammonia, half ounce
LaudanUm, one and n half ounces;
mix with one pint of water and adj
minister. 1t not relieved, repeat the
dose.
DIARRHGA IN sEs.-If the diar-
rhea is due to the irritating proper
ties of the animals food, mild pur-
gative should be given to remove If
ritant materials, and the diet should
be changed. Food containing Il com
paratively small proportion Of water,
such as hay and oats tends to dimin-
ish the frequency OF TIE excavations,
though this remark mag not apply to
new hay and oats. The following
may be given i'll pint of flour Cruel:
Two drachms powdered CamphOr :.
three drachms powdered rhubarb
one drachm of powdered opium. -
IMPROVING HORSES WINn.-Mix
charcoal and tar water with bis feed.
We have tried it with most beneficial
! effect; a..d | think il stands 10 reasor-
that the removal of nOXious g.,

An Old farmer, about the time that

country, said to his hired man:
Jonathan, did not think to men
ton to YOU when hired you that |
think of trying TO do my work this
year without rum. How much more
must give YOU to do without :"
Oh, don't care much about it,
