Cure of Gapes In Chickens.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Rural World
writes to that paper as follows: 81 no
ticed an inquiry for cure for gapes in
chickens. Before remedy can be applied,
the cause of the disease must first be
known. The cause of the gapss is un-

fourths of an inch long, filltd with q red

will get well. Sometimes there are from
half dozen to a dozen of these little
worms in the windpipe, and sometimes
not so many. have cut the windpipe
open after the death of the chicken, and
taken them out. Where or how these
worms originate, don't know, but have
found an etfectual remedy for them. Hav-
ing been in the habit of dissolving sui
phate of iron (copperas) in water, and
mixing shorts and bran or cornmeal in the
water after it was so dissolved, for the
purpose of destroying worms in horses
and it having always proved etectual,
thought would try the same remedy for
gapes i'll chickens. found it successful,
ami all who have tried the remedy say il
has proved successful with them. No in
ternal or white-tlooded worms can stand
sulphate of iron dissolved. 1t destroys
them at once, and it never harms the aui-
NAL. Iron is tonic, and is recommended
by all physicians for that purpose. My
way of giving it to chickens is, to keep
the copperas standing in water, and then
mix up the cornmeal in this water; and il
is death to the worms that cause the gap,s
Copperas can be got at every drug store
and supply should be kept on every
farm to give hogs snd horses consider

Two PloWings before Seeding Wheat.

As the grass crop is to US in this section
more important Il an the wheat crop,
there can be no question that plowing
as soon ss possible after oats is off, and q
second one Immediately preceding wheat
sowing, is very favorable to the succe sfol
termination and roofing of the grasses.
The soil is made mellow and pulveIized
by The double p'oSing; IL IS erdt.d more
points for absorption of atmospheric gases
are presented-and because, when seeded
down to grass, it remains SO, often for
many years, it is important that when the
opportunity offers for thorough plowing
and stirring, these operations should be
fully performed.
We believe, if portion of the subsoil,
which has never yet seen daylight, is also
brought to the surface, and incorporated
with the top soil, it will often result in
new and valuable combinations; and the
increased depth will, SO far as it goes, tend
to prevent damage from drouth, which we
are more or less leable to every season.

Partisan Arithmetic.

DEMOCRATIC genius is wonderfully ex-
pansive when it comes to figures. The
national finances, under the manipulations
of party organs, are stated in such re-
markable shapes that one is left in equal
astonishment whether he estimates their
falsity or absurdity. Thus we note one
of the latest efforts in working up state
ment of what the Times says are "expens-
es F" which the people have to pay. The
first item is Interest on idle money, $4,-
$4,000" Who ever before heard that the
government paid interest on money in its
own treasury, or lost by retaining balances
long enough to make authorized disburse.

SO interesting discovery. Again: "In-

system. 1t does nothing of the kind. II

Our Teeth.

The charms, omens, signs, panaceas, re-
lating to the teeth, constitute quite form
idable item in folk lore. In some parts of
Sussex there is superstition that if you
put on your right stocking, right shoe, and
right trowser-leg before the left you will
never have a toothache. To drink out of
@ skull taken from a graveyard; to tate a
tooth from such skull, and wear it round
the neck; to apply the tooth to your own
living but aching tooth; to put double
nut into your pocket; to pare your finger
nails and toe nails, and wrap up the par
ings in paper-all are charms against the
toothache. If you catch a mole in trap,
cut off one of his paws and wear it as a
charm, you will =" soon see the effect" pro-
vided a right paw be used for left tooth,
and Uics Uersa. When an aching tooth is
extracted, mix it with salt and burn it.
There is at Norfolk q custom of calling
the tootache the "love PAIN" for which
the sufferer is not entitled to any commits
Grafton; whether he (or she) fully assents
to this may perhaps be doubted. Many
other items of tooth-lore have no connec-
ton with toothache. For instance: if the
teeth are set wide apart, there will be good
luck and plenty of travelling for the foltu-
nate pOSsesSOr. When tooth is drawn,
if you refrain from thrusting your tongue
into the cavity, the new tooth to grow in
its place will be lucky one. Lady Went
worth, in letter written in 1713, to her
son, Lord Straford, spoke of the efficacy
of wolves teeth set in gold to assist chill
dren in cutting their teeth: "They are
very lucky things: for my twoe first one
did dye, the other bred his very ill, and
none of ye rest did, for had one for al
the rest" Bless the good lady her gran.
mar and her logic are about on par.
Why do some peoples teeth come out
more rapidly than others? The reasons
for this are probably many. About the
middle of the last century Peter Kahn, q
| Swede, visited America and wrote sensibly
about what he saw. He observed fre.
ouent loss of teeth among settlers from
Europe, especially women. After discuss
ing and rejecting many modes of explana
ton, he attributed it to hot tea and othel
hot beverages, and came to a general con
clusion that "hot feeders lose their teeth
more readily than cold feeders" Mr.. Cat
lin, who some years ago had an interesting
exhibition of Indian scenery, dresses
weapons, etc, noticed that North Amer
ican Indians have better teeth than the
whites. He accounts for the difference il
this strange way, that the reds keep the
mouth shut, whereas the whites keep i
open. The teeth, he says, require mois
ture to keep their surfaces in good work
ing order; when the mouth is open, the
mucous membrane has tendency to dry
up, the teeth lose their needed supply o
moisture, and thence comes discoloration
toothache, ticdoloreux, decay, loosenes:
and eventual loss of teeth.
During the days of the resurrectionistS
or body-snatchers, when grave yards weTt
subjected to pillage for supplying anato
mists with subjects for dissection, the teeth
from the dead bodies formed a frequent
article of sale to dentists. Sometime!

The extraordinary incr ase that has taken place
in the sale Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters during

Administration, and closed the books with
a clear balance in the Treasury of S40,-

overbearing Southern spirit, and the claim
has undoubtedly been put forth In deep
earnest and in no spirit of bravado or jest.
It has simply informed the Northern
leaders of the party that seeks 70 secure
the cooperation of the late rebels, what
will be exacted of them in case of the final
success of the consolidated party in Sc
curing again the control of the national
government. We have yet to see repu-
diation of that claim by single political
leader of that party, either through the
press or from the stump. 1t behooves the
people of the United States to decide
whether they will sanction this scheme for
the payment of the late rebel shareholders
for their emancipated slaves before they
allow the advocates of the scheme to take
possession of the governmental Chicago
Mall.
