An Insalnbrious Season.

Spring is welcome, but not its diseases. We
should be glad to have its bloom without Its fogs,
its vapors, its sudden changes Of temperature, and
tho agues, fits Of Indigestion bilious attacks, and
other harrassing disorders which they engender
As this cannot be, it behooves all sensible people
to do the best they can to escape such serious
drawbacks on the poetry of the season. Ask any
physician what the weak and delicate ought to do
when miasma infects the air. The answer will be
"tone and regulate the system" uthowi That
is the important question. A dozen medical men
would probably recommend as many different
medicines. On the other hand, the thousands who
have tested the virtues OF Hostetters Stomach Bit
ters as an invigorant and Alternative, will recon.
mend but one, the wholesome preventive and re-
storatiye In which their own experience has taught
them to trust. course of this rare vegetable
stimulant commenced now, would save many q
pang to the feeble and debilitated. 1t would be
wise economy too, for it would probably preclude
the necessity for medical advice. Without dis
paragement to profession which all intelligent
men and women respect and honor, 1t is just as
WELL II possible, to keep out of the doctors hands,
and they would have comparatively few cases OF
fever and ague, dyspepsia, biliousness, nervous.

A Small-POx Remedy.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Stockton
(Cal) Herald writes as follows: 81 here
with append recipe which has been
used to my knowledge in hundreds Of
cases. 1t will prevent or cure the small
pox though the pittings are filling. When
Jenner discovered COW pox in England,
the world of science hurled an avalanche
upon his head, but when the most scien-
tific school of medicine in the world-that
of Paris-published this recipe as a
panacea for smallpox, it passed unheeded
1t is as unfailing as fate, and conquers in
every instance. 1t is harmless when tax.
en- by well person. 1t will also cure
scarlet fever. Here is the recipe as have
used it, and cured my children of scarlet
fever; here il is as / have used it to cure
smallpox; when learned physicians said
the patient must die, it cured: Sulphate
of zinc, one grain; foxglove (digitalis(,
one grain; half teaspOonful of sugar
mix with two tablespoonfuls Of water.
When thoroughly mixed, add four ounces
of water. Take a spoonful every hour.
Either disease will disappear in IL hours.
For child, smaller doses, according to
age. If countries would compel their
physicians to use this, there would be no
need of pest-houses. If you value advice
and experience, use this for that terrible
disease.

Farm Horses without Shoes.

TIE late Mr.. Beebe, of Dubuque, whose
untimely death was a great loss to the
State, published an article in the Home
stead on this subject, several years ago,
that has been worth good many times
the subscription cost of the paper to me-
Mr. B. took the ground that horses en-
gagged in plowing and ordinary farm work,
and hauling on unpayed streets or roads,
did not need any shoes at all, and were
better off without them. l had always
been bothered with having horses shoes
changed at least six times year, and
after reading his article, / took his advice,
and left them off altogether. Except for
heavy hauling in winter time, this is much
the best plan, both for the horse and the
farmers purse. In wet weather an un-
shod horse slips somewhat, but he is much
more sure footed in winter than with
smooth shoes. Twice year my horses
feet are trimmed off square and even
where they wear unequally, and this is
all that is done to them. They are now
in better condition than they were with
shoes. / have saved at least $50 in cash
by pursuing this course, and l am sure
the horses are better of. After thorough
trial of this plan, it is recommended TO
everybody owning horse as exactly the
thing.-Ios0a Homestead

To Break Horses Of Pulling on the
Halter.

DIR. T. s. MITCHELL, of Hamilton, Ga,
sends the following directions to the Rural
Neao Yorker:
Have stout, new rope-one that is not
easily broken knot it around the animals
neck with knot that will not slip Il pre-
fer the Texans knott then give the rope
hitch around the under jaw just be-
hind the lower tusks. Give about eight
feet play of rope from his mouth to the
tree. Give the rope two turns around the
tree take keen whip and whip him in
The face until he pulls on the rope, you
letting it slip little in your hand. When
he gets quiet, draw him up second time,
and little closer. Whip him again in the
face. Repeat this until he is satisfied that
he cannot get off After four or five trials
he will have learned the lesson. If the
operation is properly managed, after the
third to the fifth trial to get away, he will
stand and allow you to whip him in the
face and never move his feet, and will
never pull on the bride again. This is re-
liable. have used it often with success

"DOes Raising Calves Pay ."

OF course not. A calf drinks milk
when it can get it, and milk being cash at
the cheese factory or the general market,
here is so much loss. If milk is Withheld,
something else must be substituted, and
this involves eXpense-another loss. 1t
takes time to feed them, and as " time is
money" here is another Item to go down
in the debtor column. Now, is it not
clear that raising calves does not pay
But, says one, the calf will make cow
or an ox-the one makes cheese and butter,
and finally beef; the other works several
years and goes to beef also. These facts
must be taken into account by way of bal
ancing the debtor column. If this is so,
the question is frivolous one, and about
as reasonable as 1t would be to ask, "Does
it pay TO eat or live?"
This everlasting iteration does 1t payY'
ought to be consigned to the tomb and be

calves are not raised, milk, butter, cheese
and beef must soon be expunged from the
gastronomical vocabulary. An interrog-
atory with respect to sheep, swine and
poultry would be as pertinent as the one
about calves, and must receive kindred
answer, while the human family, following
the example of Nebuchadnezzar, would
all go TO grass If this alternative is TO
be avoided, we must raise calves, sheep

cry of will 1t payf" as impertinent and

Limo for ON Orchard.

LIME is good manure for an orchard, be-
cause the trees require II for building up
their trunks and branches, andin the forma-
ton Of their foliage and fruit. II may be
applied at any time, but late In the fall or
carly in the spring is the most suitable
period 1t should be put on in the shape
of dry dust, and be spread evenly over the
surface and narrowed In. You may give q
good dressing there Is no fear that you will
give too much, for at the present price of
lime it is not likely that you will apply q
large quantity. A bushel to the square rod
may be safely applied, but peck or even
quart will be better than none at all.
1t Is probable that plaster will answer your
purpose better than lime, for II is compos.
ed of lime, and sulphuric acid, and water,
tho latter ingredient being no use to the
crops. Wood or peat ashes are excellent
manure: they should be spread evenly oyer
the surface, and should not come in con.
tact with the trunks of the trees, for fear ol
damaging the bark. Lime from well-burned
limestone is the best for your purpose II
should be slaked by pouring water upon it
and when it has crumbled into dust, II
should be applied before it becomes heavy
and dump by extracting moisture from the
atmosphere. If comparatively small
quantity of lime is mixed with muck ol
rich soil of any kind, allowed to remain IL
the heap for considerable time, and ther
applied to the orchard, etc, it will be more
| beneficial than much larger quantity ap
piled without mixing Western Rural.

Lesson in Practical Chemistry.

A VENERABLE couple in Scott County,
Iowa, recently received lesson in practi
cal chemistry, by accident. The old lady
took drink of lye in mistake for vinegar,
and, being uncertain whether her taste
was perverted or she had got hold of the
wrong jug, she gave her husband a swig of
the same to get the benefit of his opinion
upon the subject. Presently their throats
and mouths began to burn, when they dis
covered that it was lye they had been
drinking, and swallowed some oil to allay
the pain. The oil combining with the
lye formed soap, which stimulated the
salivary glands to excessive action, causing
a flow of foaming soap-suds from their
mouths that was as alarming as it was dis
agreeable. A physician who happened to
call while this process was in full opera
ton, relieved them by the application of
proper remedies, but it was several weeks
before they were able to enjoy their food
again.
