EIsTULOUs WRITER'S.

Openings must be made to let the matter
out, and to prevent it lodging in the abscess,
or the fistula must be slit up with knife
dead bones must be searched for, and if
found, scraped away, and the edges of the
cut must be kept from healing by putting a
piece of tape between them. When the mat
ter has been thoroughly syringed out with
water, part of the following chemical COM
position should be injected viz. one drachm
of bichloride of mercury, rubbed down and
dissolved in an ounce of rectified spirit, to
which add half drachm of liquor plumb
acetatis. Repeat the injection twice OF
thrice, at intervals of twenty four hours, pre-
viously cleaning out the fistula with water.
Then let the case entirely alone for week,
only keeping the outside clean. After this
time, injections of tincture of aloes. twice
daily, are generally all that is required; the
discharge becomes less, and the sore heals
up from the bottom. The horse should be
kept under shelter, free from work of any
kind, and have good care.-Prairie Farmer.

BLANCHING CELERY.

The last of August is the time to begin
earthing up celery that will be wanted for
use in October or November. The crop de-
signed for winter use need not be earthed up
until later in the season, for if blanched too
early it will be neither us good nor keep as
well rs that which is blanched in cool wealth
er. In earthing up some care is required to
keep the soil on the outside of the head, and
to do this the operator should clasp the leaves
and stems in one hand, holding them togeth-
er, while with the other the earth should be
drawn around the plant and pressed firmly
against it. A very little soil will answer for
this purpose and more can be added if re-
quired, when both hands are free to use the
hoe OF spade. If the plants are not growing
us vigorously us required, then give them II
liberal supply of liquid manure a few days
before the first earthing up. OF course, the
liquid should not be thick and rank, for this
would cause rust; but let it be strong, and
then dilute with considerable water, so that
the earth about the plants may be well soak
ed, and not merely sprinkled Celery intend
ed for late crop should be hoed frequently
during August and September; and if the
weather is dry, water freely, adding some
kind of stimulating manure if necessary.

so removed, with the roots mangled and
torn, are much longer recovering from the
shock, ifthey ever do. Besides, they have
generally grown long and struggling all out
of shape, and not fit for specimen plants It
is better to start new ones, by taking cut
tings from fuchsias. geraniums, verbenas.
petunias, and others worth keeping, that have
been bedded out during summer These
will root easily now, if stuck into sandy soil
on the shady side of n house, or in II window,
shaded artiicially; or else put into flower
pot and covered with bell-glass, or tumbler,
The ground must in all cases be kept moist.
For soft wooded plants, the tender shoots are
the best to take root. A good test is to
bend the cutting, and if it breaks off short,
then it will root rapidly. Rose cuttings can
be propagated now by putting them in
light, rich soil, on the north side of n house
or any shady nook, covering with some light
material to keep the ground moist. These
will make fine plants for potting before cold
weather sets in. A frame can be made, to be
covered with sash; put in short cuttings,
and when freezing weather comes, fill in
with leaves and straw. The sash can then
be put on and left till spring, when fine roots
will have been formed. By the above
means, the private grower can indefinitely
increase his stock of plants, without the
appliances of the professional florist, and
at far less expense

HOGS.--SMALL BREEDS.

Col. Colman of the Rurdl World, in an ar
ticle upon over-grown and medium sized
animals, thus speaks Of hogs, indicating his
preference for the small breeds: "There is
not one single advantage to be claimed in
favor of large hogs. There never was mons
ter hog which did not make the man who rails
ed him pay for every pound he weighed. They
don't furnish an ounce of meat gratis, but
charge full price for every atom of their car
casses. When slaughtered, it takes long
time to get one cool to the marrow in the
bone, and then when the hams are put in
salt, it is troublesome to finish them to the
center. Four hundred pounds, live weight,
is rs large us hogs should be, in order to
make good bacon. Beyond this size there
is loss somewhere. Either the feeder,
butcher or consumer is beat, and rs gencr-
III thing, every one who has anything to do
with the big hog will find, if he observes
closely, that they are not so profitable us the
smooth, nice hogs of only three hundred and
fifty pounds weight. A small head, with lit
tie upright ears, and legs and feet delicate to
perfection, are marks which indicate the
greatest amount of flesh for any given
amount of food consumed; and will always
draw more readily theattcntion of the butch
err.
