FOUNDER IN HORSES. .-Benjamin W.
Wood writes the Southern CuHivator:
Many years ago l learned cure for
founder in horses which is simple, and
has proved so successful in my hands,
that | send it to you, thinking it may be
of service to some of your readers. Clean
out the bottom Of the foot thoroughly, hold
up firmly in horizontal position, and
pour in say tablespoonful of spirits of
turpentine, if the cavity of the hoof will
hold that much, if not, pour in what it
will hold, without danger of running
over; touch the turpcntine with redhot
iron (this will set it On fre); hold the
hoof firmly in this position until it all
burns out. Care must be taken that none
runs on the hair Of the hoof, lest the skin
be burned. If all the feet are affected
burn turpentine in all of them. Relief
will speedily follow, and the animal will
be ready for service in short time.
once applied this remedy to horse tha
had been foundered twenty-four hours be-
fore saw him, and he was promptly re
lieved. In another case, where the ami
nal could hardly be induced to move, hi
suffering was so great, he was treated il
the same manner as soon as his troubl
was discovered, and less than an hour al
sterward was hitched to a buggy and driv
en- twenty-five miles the same day, a
lameness disappearing after he had trav0l
ed few miles.

in mending old harness, when he observed
his favorite cat Tom cautiously approach

squatted ueur the point of observation, his
tail moving with majestic slowness, his
cars set forward iuqniringly while his
body clided nearer and nearer to the open

black bolt of lightning and as quickly
back again, bringing with him huge rat
The rat struggled violently and squealed
terribly, but Tom laughed his long black
tail proudly perpendicular. Tom laughed
before he was out Of the woods, for the
terrible screams of his victim caused
whole regiment Of rats to come to the
rescue. They rushed in upon Tom, from
every point of the compass, too swift and
too numerous to be counted. Tom was
surprised of his discretion, and sprang up
three fc.t from the floor, with rat hold
ing to each hind leg and the rest eager
for him to come down. lie came down,
of course, and then began a most fearful
struggle. Tom mcwed terribly and fu-
rious fell his blows. The rats fought in
silence, except when Toms sharp teeth
met the backbone Of some luckless wretch

too much for him; h, was down; two Of
three clinging to each leg, had a dozen a
