A Remedy for the Cattle Disease

No little excitement exists among
owners Of herds along the river counties
with reference to the cattle disease which
prevails throughout the Eastern states
An old and wei known dealer in stock,
says that his neighbors and himself have
used for many years, for the mouth disease
in his cattle, salt and alum, and always
with success. First. sprinkle salt IN the
mouth of the animal, not repeating the
dose more than three Or four times then
use foe salt and burnt alum in the same.
In Duchess county this cattle disease has
been somewhat prevalent, and all stock
owners whose cattle were effected have
used this remedy, which has failed in
only one case. fhe disease of the hoof,
which appears to be Of a different nature,
has in many eases, disappeared of itself
when theahinal has been removed or
kept in clean and dry stable or yard

now should Manure be AppIied??

Observation and experience should
determine the mind of oud farmer in re-
grid to the bcs; plan Of applying manure,
whether to pillow it under deep Or leave it
on tie surface. The advocates of surface
manuring speak gainst manure being
turned under too deep, while the advocates,
Of deep maturing charge surface man
uring with fertllizing the atmosphere
But there is a medium course, and each
theory Is supported by plausible arguments
However, there are true philosophical
principles against burying manure too
deeply in the earth. The loss of the saline
matter of the manure by solution aud
infltration will be great in porous soil,
aud the evaporation. to which so much
loss is attributed by those holding opinions
adverse to surface manuring. would be
only small drop 10 the buck ccmparod
to the loss by solution. In porous soils,
it is well known that manure will pene-
trate to great DEPTH and much animal
III liter descend beyond the reach of sur
face growing plants Himus is formed
by the decay and decomposition of vegeta-
ole matter, when II the philosophy OF
nature, is manipulated on the surface,
hence the application Of manure should
be taken from The indication Of nature
and science The decay and consumption
Of one crop for the nourishment an
other, the droppings Of animals and
defoliation of trees and plants are all left
on the surface This seems to contradict
the IDEA Of any loss by evaporation. It
will therefore be best to adopt the plans
of deep cultivation, but to keep the ma
nure aud vegetable matter as rear as
po s bic. There is always loss by eVapora-
ton, but much less than by iufItration.
But it should be a leading idea with far
mers to be close observers of such natural
operations, in the growth Of spontancoi s
and cultivated vegetation, and accommo-
date their practice so to initiate nature as
nearly az possible .-Jonrnaz ofhe Farm:

in the court of common pleas at Rome,
N. T., last week, which is Of considerable
interest to many in Vermont, who have
unwittingly signed notes in blank to be
filled up and disposed of by r%ascally
patent right agents. A Mr.. Welles
signed what he supposed was a bond to
bind an agreement whereby he was to
become the agent for the sale of a patent
fork made by parties in Lee, N. Y, but
in fact signed for 5000, which the patent
right party disposed of to Mr.. Cook, the
plaintiff, who claimed to be an innocent
holder, and has some $4,000 in similar
notes, according to his affidavit produced
on this trial. The jury returned a YER
dict for the defendant with costs.

were entertained of his recovery.
