The Sex of Eggs and Plants.

A'eorrespondent OF, the lRarahst gives
the following rule for determining the
sex of plants and eggs; s;vrrQoqt
Now permit me to say | can instant
ly or onaI general principle, determine
the sex Of eggs and other things. In
walking through your garden please
notice the acute pointed buds and obtuse
ones on your cherry and other fruit, and
and when the season of efflorescence oc-
ours, in every instance the obtuse form
produces the flower, and the others the
leaf. So with the strawberry vine, the
ropndish form Of leaf is producing, and
so with eggs, in every Instance the round
ish form produces the female, and the
long eggs are invariably males"

Collie in Horses.

Prevention is better than cure. Collie
may be prevented by care in feeding,
When succulent green fodder is used,
such as the blades and tops of the green
corn, collie is common. 1t is caused by
the production of gas in the stomach and
intestines from the fermentation of the
food, or by permitting the horse to drink
too freely of cold water when tired and
exhausted by work. Feed sparingly Of
succulent food until the animal has be-
come accustomed to its use. Water
often and give little at time, and never
either Immediately before or after feed.
IF the horse has been permitted to be-
come very thirsty, give no more than half
pailful at time letting fifteen min
utes elapse between the drinks, until he
is satisfied. If Notwithstanding all care
he is troubled still with collie, give him
two ounces sweet spirits of nitre and
one ounce tincturo of opium in half q
pint of water. If necessary repeat in
half an hour, adding one ounce tincture
of alocs. Any spirituos medicine should
be carefully administered. If no inhama
ton be present pint of rum with hall
ounce Of pure ginger might afford relief

How to Wash Blankets.

For two or three blankets take one
pint of soft soap and two tablespoonfuls
Of borax dissolve them in boiling wa
Ter; add the solution to tub halfflled
with cold water, and large enough to con-
tain the blankets. Put in the blankets
and let them stand from twelve to twenty
four hours, entirely covered by the solution,
Then squeeze aud rub thoroughly, but do
nor scrfny Them Put them in basket
over another tub to drain, rinse in clean
cold water, and drain again. Put in a
little bluing for final rinse, then drain
aud hang out to dry. BE sure to use cold
water, and not to wiring during the pro
cess; then the blankets will not shrink,
but will dry white and smooth.

VOracity in Horses.

\ subscriber to the Hearth and Home,
who has horse thin in flesh, but with an
enormous appetite, which prompts him to
eat litter, asks what to do about it. This
inordinate appetite is symptom of dis
ease in the digestive organs, or Of the
presence of worms If no worms have
been observed, the first may be supposed
to be the cause. A simple remedy is to
feed to the horse handful Of wood-ashes,
one ounce of sulphur, an ounce of com
mon salt, linked in his feed every other day.
If worms are troubling the horse, give
the following one dram sulphate of iron,
powdered, one ounce of flaxseed meal,
and the same of sugar. Give this for
one dose in bran-mash at night and
repeat 10 forty-eight hours.

Fall Treatment Of Clay Lands.

A clay soil under a proper mode of
treatment is our most productive soil.
What is called an agricultural clay, that
is, clay with twenty-five per cent of sand
in intimate mixture with it, is the best
and most lasting soil for grain and especi-
ally grass. But while light loan is
comparatively safe from injury, a clay
soil can be measurably ruined by improper
treatment And the greatest danger is
to be apprehended from blowing too wet.
The working of clay in moist condition
will bring it into state Of tenacious con-
sistency that frost can not overcome, and
many years of tillage will be required to
reduce. In the mean time its value is
lessened and its fertility impaired. Drain
ing such soil is necessary for their proper
cultivation; inrsmuch as it often becomes
either necessary or desirable to work
them before they can naturally get rid Of
an excessive amount of moisture, Farm
ers can not be too watchful Of clay lands
at this season of the year, lest one unseas-
enable plowing should cause a serious in
jury. Here is seen the advantage of
draining. While one farmer is enabled
to keep his men and teams at work and
seize favorable opportunity for forward
ing his operations, his neighbor, having
an undrained farm, is compelled to lie
idle and loses both time aud money. The
capital invested in drains returns interest
in other ways than by increased crops

such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has any thing won SO widely and SO
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through long series Of years, and among most
of the races of men it has risen higher and higher
in their estimation as it has become better known.
Its uniform character and power to cure the va
rious affections of the lungs and throat, have
made it known as reliable protector against
them. While adapted to milder forms of disease
and to young children, it is at the same time the
most effectua remedy that can be given for incip.
lent consumption, and the dangerous affections
sudden attacks of Group, it should be kept on
hand in every family, and indeed as all are some
times subject to colds and coughs, all should be
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
durable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cTfred, and the patient restored to sound health
by the Cherry PectOr0f. So complete is its
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Throat that the most obstinate of them yield to it.
When nothing else could reach them, under the
Cherry PectOraI they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great
protection from it.
asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectOraI in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known, that we
need not publish the certificates of them here, or
do more than assure the public that its qualities
are fully maintained.
