Symptoms Of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the
edge ofthe ribs, increase on pres.
sure; sometimes the pain is in the
left side; the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder
Blade, and it frequently extends to
the top of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach, is affected
with loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowels In general are costive,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
a considerable loss of memory, ac-
companied with painful sensation
of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough Is sometimes an at
tendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning.
and he complains of prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; hisspirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but cases have occurred where few
of them existed, yet examination of
the body, after death, has shown the
LIVER to have been extensively de-
ranged.

blind StarRers.

Mr.. B. r. Lang, of Holly Springs,
Miss, communicates to the Southern
CultiUatOr his somewhat extensive and
in all cases, except one, successful treat
ment of blind staggers in horses and
mules. He says:
$50 soon as you are satisfied the ami
NAL has staggers, bleed copiously and split
the skin about two or two and half
inches between the eyes, loosen it nearly
TO each eye-ball, and as far up and down
the forehead and I'LL the place full of
common salt In about thirty minutes it
will have dissolved considerably; fill it up
again and if necessary take one or two
stitches to retain the salt. The above /
have tried on a large number during the
last ten years, and have lost only one
horse. 1t will make bad sore, but will
cure nineteen out of twenty, if admins
tered in time. F"
Mr. H. w. Vaughn, of Brancbville,
S. c., sends TO the same paper a receipt
which has never been known to fail in
his section of country, as follows:
''First Bleed at least half gallon from
the neck, (the jugular wien, then take q
table spoonful of tincture of camphor
and put in each ear, holding the ear firmly
for one or two minutes, so as to prevent
the horse from shaking 1t out before it
reaches the "membranum tympanum,"
the object for which it is intended. Then
take half pint of tincture of camphOr,
half pint human urine, half ounce gum
assafetida and dissolve in it, add as much
salt as the pint will dissolve, and inject
this mixture into the nOstrils of the horse,
as far up as you can, with a strong glys-
ter pipe. In half an hour after this in
lection into the nostrils is given, pour at
least four bushels of cold water over
the top of the horses head, pour
ing it from as elevated a position as you
well can. In twelve or fifteen hours after
this, drench with the following: half
pint of syrup, one pint of sweet milk
mixed together, and afterwards feed light
for eight or ten days. If the bowels of
the horse are not in a soluble condition,
drench him with a half pound of EPSON
salts, dissolved in "A quart of water.

Grating Fruit Trees.

A fruit grower of Fairfield county,
Ohio, communicates the followign to the
Cincinnati Gazette:
Success in grating depends almost
wholly on bringing the inner bark of stock
and scion into close contact. Care must
also be taken in protecting the exposed
surfaces from air and moisture, by apply
ing some composition-grafting wax be-
ing the best.
To make grating wax, take rosin 4
OF; beeswax, 2 OF; tallow, l OF; melt,
and mix thoroughly without burning.
Pour into cold water, take out and pull
until light scolored, using a little tallow
occasionally on the hands to prevent
sticking. When grating in cold weather,
in order TO have the wax soft enough,
keep it lying in water warm enough to
hold the hand in comfortably.
The above will not crack in winter, nor
melt and run in summer.
Scions must be of the previous years
growth, Bellhower, Bartlett, or whatever
fruit is desired, and should be cut before
the sap rises, by some reliable person,
from trees he has seen in bearing. Keep
from frost packed in slightly damp moss
or saw dust until needed.
Scions from nursery trees are not to be
used, unless in cases of extreme necessity.
The tree TO be grated should be thrifty
and not old. If of considerable size,
take two or three years to complete the
work, beginning with the highest limbs
and ending with the lowest. The best
time for apples and pears is the latter
part of March and all through April; but
cherries do best when grated very early
before the sap starts in the least.
Cleft grating is here described:
Saw off the stock or branch at q smooth
place, and pare off the roughness of the
cut. Cut the sciOns about three inches
long, and shave down about an inch of
the lower end into a wedge shape, taking
care that the outer edge has a bud close
above the wedge, and is also very little
thicker than the inner edge. Split the
stock with the grating tool; open the
cleft mot too far) with an iron or wooden
wedge; insert prepared scion at each side,
carefully, so as to have the two inner
banks join exactly; withdraw the opening
wedge without displacing (without touch
ing, if possible the scions; and thework
is ready for the wax, provided the cleft
holds the scion firmly. Cover the cleft on
each side, and the top of the stock, putting
the wax close around the scion.
Make a register of the work immedi-
ately, which can be transferred to the
orchard book in the evening If memory
is trusted, confusion in varieties is in
evitable.
The knife used for making the wedge
cut on the lower edge of the scion should
be used for that purpose alone, and should
have keen edge. A good Barlow does
well A very good grating tool is a
rather thin table knife, made very sharp;
and instead of splitting the stalk horizon
tally with it, split diagonally from each
side, so as to cut the bark first

How the People Test Their Truth.
This is not an age when people believe on trust
whatever they see in the public journals. Fifty or
sixty years ago when the accuracy Of a statement
that had appeared in one Of the gazettes or "News
Letters" of the day, was questioned, it was con-
sidered Sufficient answer to all cavil to say, at

not SO now. Newspaper assertions must be yeri-

is especially the regards statements setting
forth the remedial properties of proprietary mei-
cines. For example, it was not until the tonic and
Alternative properties of Hostetter's Stomach Bit

by thousands, and found to be in perfect accord

it accepted by the public at large as Standard

Exsggeration and bombast have been the death of
many preparations that might otherwise have sur

trary, have never been announced in grandilo-
quent language as q cure for every bodily i'll, but
simply as pure, harmless vegetable specific, pos

what the public know the medicine TO be, and its
enormous sales is an argument in its favor.

Experiments with Potatoes.

The Country GentLeman'S Magazine,
London publication, gives details of
several experiments made by M. II. Gal
liodts, of the Administrative Council of
France, to test the influence of Towering
upon the yield of potatoes, the results of
which have been so significant and con-
elusive that he has come to the determi-
nation to "hold up as an excellent prac-
tice the suppression of the floral organs
in the potato" He concludes that the
flower buds should be removed as soon as
possible, in order to prevent the fixing of
the nourishing principles necessary to the
complete formation of the floral organs,
and that the removal should be done by
hand rather than by a sickle or other
sharp instrument, as the latter would be
likely TO injure the vines or tops of the
potatoes. The experiment is worth trying
on few hills.
