Sulphur for Warts ON Cows.

These cxcresenccs on the tcats
and other portions Of cows body
are both unsightly and troublesome,
A great many plans have been re-
commended for removing them
which have been tried with varying
results. A correspondent of the
Country Gentleman thus details his
experience:
SIN the summer Of 1869, had a
yearling heifer whose belly was
covered with warts, together with
dry, hard warts on her neck and
ears. Those on her body were pc
culiar and quite different from any
other | ever saw, resembling pre-
cisely the mushroom found on de-
cayed logs. Some were broader
than my hand. I was advised to
tic 4 cord around them, and cut
them off. This l did not dare do,
as the part which joined them to the
body was, in some instances, more
than an inch in diameter. l at
tempted to wash them in solution
OF potash, but desisted after the first
trial. | thought that perhaps sui
phur might do some good, and pos
sibly effect a cure. She was u pet,
and would eat any food offered her.
For several weeks l mixed powder
ed sulphur with her food, in small
quantities each day. Soon the warts
began to decay, the smell became
very offensive, and when she struck
them with her feet, they would bleed
till puddlcs of blood gathered Oh the
ground. In few months all had
disappeared, and not a sign or 4
scar now remains. She fell off Il
little in flesh, but did not become
poor. l do not undertake to say
that the sulphur effected the cure,
but what did,"

Gardening ~ Woman's Work,

This has long seemed to me rs an
employment in which woman void
not only gain health and strength,
but in which the most modest and
retiring might find congcnial oc-
cupation, and the products of which
are never deprecated because
raised by woman. A peck peas
has certain market value, not de-
pendant upon the hands which
raised them. A woman who works
on pants receives fifty cents Il day,
not on account Of the amount or
ouality of her work, but because she
is a woman. A man engaged on
the same garments receives 81 per
day. not because of the amount or
quality Of his work, but because he
= a man. It is doubtless true that
in very many cases the man does
h;s work better than the woman;
Int # is not less true that, in ma
;or;tv of cases, the difference in
nr;cc grows out of the difference in
sax So Of the school. A male
teacher receives $1,000 year, not
because his moral influence is bet
Tor not because the pupils learn

Bots in Tar Cant Bite,

When a horse shows symptoms of
bots, drench him with one pint of
tar, heated as hot as possible, but
not to burn. It will inclose the bots
instantly, and stop the biting i'll
about half an hour after administer
ing the tar. Give some purgative;
I prefer castor oil, warm; this will
bring off the bots and tar mixed in
one mass. Bots and collie in horses,
in many instances, cannot be dis
tinguished; and if within twenty or
thirty minutes after giving the tar
you find the animal is not relieved,
give two ounces of laudanum and
two ounces sweet spirits nitre, mix
ed. The remedies may be relied
on, the writer having never, in a
single instance, failed to relieve and
fully cure.-Ea.
A PERFECT HoG.-A correspond
ent in Ohio gives the following in
the Cincinnati Gazette as his opin-
ion of what constitutes perfect
hog:
ga perfect hog should be one Of
large breed that will fatten readi-
ly, at any age, and will net from ESQ
to 800 pounds at ten months old;
and if kept until twenty months old
should net from 400 to 900 pounds.
1t should have short, tapering,
nervy legs, long body, straight
back, deep sides, short, tapering
nose, heavy shoulders, and should
measure as much lin ordinary 1csh)
around the chest as he does from
the top of his head to the root of his
tail, and should have fine hair, eth
err smooth or curly.
The above is the description of a
well bred Poland-China hog. In
answer to the EDITORS remarks APP
pended to Mr.. Fox article, asking
whether there is not properly two
standards of excellence in a hog,
one comprising the quality needed
in hog profitable for market, and
the other with the quality most de-
sirable for family meat l would
answer that if a person has hog
of the above description, he has
hog that combines the qualities Of
both large and small breeds. If he
wants a large hog he can have it by
keeping it until twenty months old;
and if he wants choice meat for
family use he can have it by fatten-
ing them at ten months old. And I
think the meat of a pig, ten months
old, that will net 300 pounds, is
preferable to that of small breed
which you would have to keep until
they are some months older to OBJ
tain the same weight"
