Nothing will touch it in its green state,

Bots in Horses.

DR.. i. n. Washington, OF Augusta,
Ga, in writing to the Southern Culti-
rat0r, recommends the following as
a sure cure for the bots, the most
fatal disease, perhaps to which the
horse is subject: Strong sage tea, one
quart, pulvcrizcd alum, q lcapiug
tcaspoouinl, and molasscs Tor sugar.
one teacupful. Sage tea is said to be
as fatal to the bot as aquatortis.
We have a friend that owns aValua-
bic horse that has been troubled with
the bots for some years, His remedy
il one tcaspoontul Of chlOroform,
mixed with a pint OF whisky, 1t in
variHblY gives relief, He also DC
c~asionally uses sweet milk and mo-
l%asses, on the suppositiOn that the
bot, preferring the swectcned milk,
will detatch itself from the coats OF
the stomach to feed upon the milk,
He has found both remedies valuable,
but thinks the chlorOform is more
powerful in its action and quicker III
its effects, though more severe on the
horse.

How the MIN Business Improves the
Land,

Dairy lands arc steadily improving
in the elements of fertility, and are
now in better heart for grain crops
than when growing was made the
business of the farm. 1t is true that
upon many farms tho yield Of grass
is much less than it should be, but
this is not so much on account OF
lack of fertility in tue soil as rom
neglect of proper cullure-alloWing
weeds TO creep in, OverstOcEing pas
lures, feeding down the aftermath OF
meadows, cutting grass when over
ripe, and other abuses which, in
time, have served to lessen the pro-
duct. When farms have been prop
crly managed, and have received the
LIQUID and solid eXcrement of stock,
iudiciously applied, they have been
wonderfully improved, and are an
nually yielding immense crops.
The dairymen Of Central New
| York, where dairying has for a long
time been followed as especially, are
| generally "well of as to worldly
goods and in wealth will compare
favorably with the farmers in any
other portion of the State. Dairy
lands We think have increased IN
value more rapidly than the grain
lands of the Stale.

CLEANSE THE SKIN.-It is a curious
fact illustrating the necessity of clean
illness, and of keeping the pores of the
skin open, that If a coat Of varnish or
other substance impervious totmOist-
ure be applied to the exterior of the
body, death will ensue in about six
hours. The experiment was once tried
on II child at Florence. On the oc-
casion of Pope Leo the Tenth's assem-
sion 10 the Papal chair, it was desired
to have a living figure to represent the
Golden Age, and So a child was gilded
all over with varnish and gold leaf.
The child died in a few hours. If the
fur Of a rabbit or the skin Of a pig be
covered with a solution of India rub
Der in naptha, the animal ceases I'd
breathe in n couple of hours.

ADULTERATION OF MILK. - DIR.
Bates, health officer of San Francisco,
in a recent communication, says:
The common mode of adulterating
milk for this market, is with water,
burn. sugar and table salt, by which
process the bulk Is increased from
one-cighth to onc-half, and can
scarcely be detected by sight or taste.
No better plan has ever been de-
visedt to keep butter sweet than to put
il in clean Jars and cover it with
strong brine. No kind of vessel, cask
or tub will answer so we'll as a jar.
In this way it can be kept fresh
and sweet Tor twelve months.
