themselves i'll all the domestic animals,
each, however. possessing its own
varieties. The presence of worms in
the digestive tube is marked at first by
an increased appetite, but the animal,
notwithstanding the quantity of TODD
which he consumes, falls off III con-
dition his coat is rough, and is not
shed at the ordinary time; there is All
annoying itching, which causes the
manager or. on the wall; sometimes
there is considerable itching about the
rectum, which is indicated by the horse
rubbing his tail or rump against any
thing within reach. The symptoms
mentioned are such as would cause one
to suspect the existence OF worins, but
1t is only when these appear among
the dung voided by the horses that we
can speak with certainty OH the nature
OF the disease. AT IL later period, and
especially when the worms have de-
veloped i'll great numbers, the symp-
toms are very much aggravated, and
the horse becomes .emaciated and ski
fers occasionally from colicky pains,
the flank is tucked UP, the inside OF the
eyelids is pale, he walks with diff
Guilty, and u fatal termination some
times ensues. a dose Of Aloes -four
or six olrachms may be given), which
has often the effect Of expelling
worms without having recourse to
further treatment. Ii this fails, di-
vide six ounces of iron filing among
twelve balls, and give one every
morning until they are finished, and
then give dose OF Aioes, which will
cause the expulsion of any worms
which remain III the horses intestines.

RAISING CALyEs.-At a late meet
ing of the Franklin, Mass, Farm
er's Club, the President Primers Stead
man, Esq, after advising farmers and
dairynen to raise their own calves,
gave the following as his method
The calves may be most economi-
caliy fed by taking them from the COW
during the first week. Having learn
ed to drink new milk readily, skim
med milk, warmed to the temperature
of new milk, may be substituted grldu-
ally until at three weeks old, the new
milk may be withheld entirely. Oil
meal and wheat bran should now be
given, commencing with Il tablespoon
ttl n day. This should be scalded and
allowed to stand a short time to swell.
After few days, the prOveilder may
be given at each meal, and inereasd at
discretion. 1t is of the utmost impor-
tance that calves; and indeed that all
young stock, be kept in Il thrifty, grow
ing condition. 1t is much easier and
cheaper TO keep u young animal grow
ing than to bring it again into 4
fourishing condition after it has, by
want of care or proper food. been al
lowed to stop growing. l prefer to
rear calves which are dropped in au-
tumn Or early winter. at this season
they are likely to receive better care,
are better prepared to bear the cold OF
the succeeding winter. and, until they
arrive at maturity, hold an advance Of
several months, i'll age and size, over
those which are dropped the following
spring, while always classed OF the
same age
THRIFT.-In passing through the
country, why is it that we see only a
few farms that seem to be well fenced,
and Oh which the dwellings and other
farm buildings are i'll good repair ?
These few farms are always free from
weeds, and invariably yieidgood crops
of all kinds. The owners OF these
premises attend to their business.
Tfey make business of farming.
They get their crops i'll at the proper
season, and harvest them when they
are properly matured. Their cash
account is always in their favor, the
balance being on the right side. They
have no time to waste ut the tavernS or
groceries. II they have spare time, it
IS devoted to reading and seif-culture.
They always subscribe and pay for
their local paper first, and others are
not discarded. They and their Elmi-
lies are well informed upon the cur
rent topics of the day. Their children
are educated, well-clad, and well-bred.
These men are the substantial and i'll
fiuential men OF the town. They
keep it respectable. They support the
schools and the churches. These are
the men to whom the country ever
looks in time of need. They always
have opinions upon sujects, and their
views are never iii market. Ever open
to conviction, never to corruption,
they may sometimes be a little eXclu-
sive, but they are ever ready to assist
their less favored neighbors to rise to
the same plail, upon which they stand.
They are reserved but true, cautious
but sure, and they constitute the hope
and the safety OF our republic.
TO PICKLE ONIoNs.-Take some
nice onions and throw them in
to a tea-kettle boiler half full OF boil
ing water, and let them remain ten
minutes. Then take them out quickly
and lay them between two cloths to
dry; boil some vinegar with the
ginger and whole pepper, and when
cold, pour it over the onions III glass
jars aud tie them close over.
In all infiammations, whether in
ternal or external, the application of
ice diminislles rapidly the size of the
blood vessels, and thus relieves the
pain which they cause by pressing
against the nerves located by them.
Swallowing ice broken into small
Jumps will reduce and often cure in-
fiammation of the stomach. Every
family should have access to ice at all
times.
