Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune
NEW YoRK, Oct. 24.-The horse disease has
spread with surprising swiftnesa in this region,
and now prevails in New York, Brooklyn, Jersey
City, Hoboken, Staten Island, and Newark.
Probably 60 per cent OF the horses in these
cities have been attacked, and it is anticipated
that very few will escape the contagion. The
general belief is that the disease is at
mospheric. for horses kept in isolated
stables we're among the earliest to exhibit
symptoms. Avery few fatal cases are reported,
but only among animals greatly debilitated by
previous disease. The best surgeons report to-
u,gnt, that the disease is simply an influenza, in
9 mild form, and that it runs its course in about
e11ty hours This cheering news is con-
frmed by the fact that the horses at
tackled last Monday and Tuesday
are convalescent to-day, and have recovered
their appetite. The attack in many cases has
been somild, that animals slightly infected have
continued at work, and tho streets are filled with
with blanketed horses with dropping heads and
occurred OF previously healthy horse. The
etreet-cars, ''bus companies, and other transpor-
tation lines have withdrawn many Of their
horses from labor, but the public has
not yet been seriously inconvenienced. The
use Of carbolic acid and chloride of lime is re-
sorted to in disinfecting the stables, and horses
are 1osed with all standard remedies for influ-
enza and an inf1amed throat. This with rest is
considered all that is necessary. Veterinary
surgeons say the epidemic will disappear within
ten days as suddenly as it broke out, notwith-
standing the present unfavorable weather.
Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
NEW YORK.
YoRKvMIE, n. T., Oct. M.-The new horse
disease is still rapidly spreading, but the alarm
among horsemen is subsiding. It is an infuen-
"a more resembling dphtheria than catarrh.
When first taken, a horse appears to have 8
slight cold a cough sets in, and still later a
running at the nose. Frequently horse will
cough up large mass OF mucus. The most ap-
proved treatment is to giyo the animal rest az
soonas taken, blanket well, and keep comfortable.
Good nursing does more than medicine. Feed
bran. mixed with warm water, in which black
liquorice, molasseB,a and salt have been dissolved
This diet will keep the bowels open. Rub the
neck outside with a liniment Of hartshorn and
red pepper. Some give five drops Of aconite

AdulteratiOn In Butter.

Thousands Of pounds of butter arr
daily sol in the city of New YORK
which are adulterated from a sub.
stance made from cotton-seed oil. II
Is creditable to the farmers, as a class,
that they are not open to the charge OF
adulterating their produce, yet they
suffer froik the dishonest competition
of dealer, lvho make up and sell these
fraudulent compounds, and by so
doing affect unfavOrably not only the
sac but the character of the genuine
article. AS an artificial compound
which was manufactured in Paris to
supply the want of real butter during
the late siege, the refuse materials
left after the manufacture of stearine
from fatty animal matters, such rs
tallow, etc, consisting of m oily
paste, composed Of 0leine and marga-
rine, we're washed in water acidulated
with,muriatic acid, for tina purpose OF
bleaching it. Ii was then subjected
To the action Of IA chemical solution
for u period Of three hours, during
which it acquired the taste and color
of butter. This substance. manufac.
tured without any assistance from the
cows, was considered an excellent |
for butter, and was readily |
accepted in place OF 1t by the people,
who considered it much superior::to any
other artificial product OF this de-

Depth OF Roots.


Undiscriminating or unconditional
rules for cultivation are apt to lead to
error. It Is common to recommend
shallow planting for fruit trees; the
assertion ID often made that trees can
not flourish unless the roots are near
the surface of the earth; then again
mulching Is recommended, which Is
virtually burying the roots deeper,
where there Is more uniform GOODNESS
and moisture. There may be soils
where nearly all the fertility Is nea
the surface and trees may grow best
In such soils when the roots keep
shallow; but where the fertility Is
deep, they will run deep, whatever
the owner may desire. The finest
growth we ever had of young trees
was where a good soil was plowed
to a great depth and the advantages
OF trenching for trees are we'll known.
1t appears that sometimes young trees
do best when the roots are set quite
deep, as in the following experiment
mentioned by the Western Pmol0gist:

The spring sun calls up something besides
the flowers and grasses. 1t YES from
the damp earth, turbid rivers, stagnant
pools and black morasses, the gaclous prov
catives of disease. From the Oifal and gar
bage of unclean cities, too, 1t exhales an EFF
iuvia destructive of health and vigor. Pc
riodic fevers of various types are now raging
with unusual virulence In various parts OF
the country, and there are complaints from
all quarters of a s%ingularly unhealthy
spring. What Is to be done in this emer-
gency? The answer Is simple and to the
point. Strengthen the body. Weakness
predisposes the system to disease. Com.
mence ut once a course of the most genial of
tonicis, Hostters's Stomach Bltters. BE as
sured tn. t the germs of epidemic and en-
demic fevers will never effect the physique
that has been fortified and regulated with
this glorious vegetable restorative. A moist
atmosphere aggravates dyspepsia, and all
diseases of a bilious type, and the sudden
themometrical changes common at this sea-
son, are q severe trial even to strong cOnsti-
tutions. There is but n way OF combat
ting these deleteriOus agencies, and that Is
by i~nvigOrating the body, and lmpartlng q
healthy activity, to all IT'S functions. me
only specific required for this purpose Is Hos
letters Buffers. OF all vegetable tonics and
Alternatives, IL Is the purest n the best. Its
medicinal ingredients include all the juices
and extracts OF the most approved tonic,

During the CLAW and Polk car

During the Clay and Polk cam
paign, the admiration of the Hon.
Walter Brooke of Mississippi for the
great Kentuckian led him to bet a
pair of matched horses, all the stock
he had, on the result, and this,
though u strict member of the Pres
byterian Church. OF course he lost.
and of course he was "churched" for
gaming. "All we ask of you, Mr..
Brooke" said the minister during
the trial, "is to acknowledge that you
are sorry, and promise to sin no
more" "Sorry?" asked Mr. Brooke,
rising from his seat wish an air of in
jured innocence, Sorry? My dear
brother, when | think Ofthose beauti-
full bays, gone from my gaze forever,

my heart, that no transaction Of my

VALUABLE RECIPES.

TEMPERANCE CAKE.-One cup Of su
gar, one cup of sour milk, two cups o
flour, one teaspoonful of soda, one tea
spoonful of lard, if you like.
A Coop LINIMENT. One of the yer,
best liniments that was ever made TO
man or beast is composed of equa
parts Of laudanum, alcohol and oil o
NORWOOD.
HATHAWAY CAKE. w of three
eggs, one cup of sugar, n cup o
flour, one half cup of butter, II hal
cup of milk, one cup Of corn-starch
one half teaspoonful of soda, and thu
same of cream of tartar. Bake witt
increasing fire.
To PREVENT STovEsFRoM RUsTING.-
Oil them with sweet oil. This does
not make q bad smell when the stoves
are heated again. The stoves should
be very clean when the oil is applied.
Coal scuttles may be oiled with boiled
linseed oil.
LAC VARNIsH is made of gum lac and
spirits of wine, frequently shaken till
the gum be dissolved, then strained
and decanted of. The lac ought to be
of the kind called seed lac, though for
vanishing ordinary woods shellac is
often used.
SWEEPING CARPETS. Persons who
are accustomed to use tea leaves for
sweeping carpets, and find that they
leave stains, will do well to employ
fresh cut grass instead. 1t is better
than tea leaves for preventing dust,
and gives the carpet II very bright,
fresh look.
IsINdLAss JELLY.-Two ounces of
isinglass to a quart of water; boil till
it is dissolved; strain it into a basin
upon n slice of lemon-peel pared very
thin, six cloves and three orfour Jumps
of sugar. Let this stand by the fire
for an hour, tako out the lemon and
cloves, and add four tablespoonsful of
brandy.
To REMOVE ACID SrAL;sAND RESTORE
Color -Whe color on a fabric has
been accidentally or otherwise destroy
ed by acid, ammonia is applied to
neutralize the same, after which an ap-
p~lication Of chloroform will, in almost
all cases, restore the original color.
The application of ammonia is COM
mon, but that of chloroform is but
little known. Chloroform will also re-
move paint from a garment or else
where, when henzolo or bisulphate of
carbon fails.
A CHEESE OMELET. For a cheese
omelet, the smallest Of your frying
pans should be selected. Remember
that the ingredients ought tobe spread
over it thin, and observe that q cheese
omelot is fried only on one side. Use
about three eggs for a small omelet.
Beat up the eggs singly and carefully
Add to them grated cheese. Regulate
quantity by the number of eggs
lsed-three ounces go to three eggs;
salt and pepper to taste. Before fry
the ingredients, melt, in a small
md perfectly clean frying pan, two or
,hree ounces of butter; pour in the
Ingredients, and as soon as the omelet
$ well risen, and appears quite firm,
Tide it cautiously on to a hot dish.
Take care that it has not to stand
ong before serving. From five to
minutes will be sufficient to
ook it, provided there is a clear, brisk
Ire. The cheese omelet is very saw
ry, is quickly prepared, and the in
Rodents are generally at hand.

BREAKING OXEN.-The education
should commence at one year old. A
suitable yoke and bows are provided
the tails are tied together by the tufts,
that they may not turn round and re-
verse the yoke. A rope is fastened
to the near horn .Of each steer these
ropes unite in one a short distance
from their heads. They are allowed
to stand in the yoke often when not in
exercise, and are exercised daily until
they are familiar with the different
motions and words and signs used to
control them. They are then yOked
to a pair of wheels only, and exer-
cised with them. TO teach them to
back, strike them quick blows on the
nose with the palm OF your hand,
using at the same time the appropri-
ate word. Quietness and gentleness
should be used during the lessons, and
a little salt will pacify them should
they be inclined to become unruly.
never unyoke them when they are
excited let them cool down first. 1t
should be borne in mind that what
ever Is learned now will be remember
ed, and the lessons should be given
with the greatest care.

Pig Breeding and Feeding.

Mr.. Mechl, the prince Of expert
mental farmers, says the same rule
applies to pigs as other animals ;
choose the best male parent Of a
thrifty breed. Let the breeding SOW
work for her living, for II you feed
here bountifully she will get fat and
have q few pigs But he says, to
have good pigs, she must have the
right sort Of food to make bone, mus
Gle and fat; but avoid the fatal mistake
of giving the SOW q large quantity OF
roots before parturition. Let her run
In pasture, and have q moderate sup
ply OF bran, q little meal and boiled
potatoes, a few turnips, but very few
mangOlds a moderate supply Of peas,
Deans and barley, or soaked Indian
corn may be added, also clover and
green beans in the pods.
Nothing comes amiss to the SOW.
The great point Is to give a variety,
and not too much Of one sort, espe-
cially roots. But after parturitiOn
roots may be more literally given,
especially cabbage in conjunction with
other food, but Immediately after par.
turitlon the diet should be sparing and
cooling. In cold weather, warmth and
shelter are indispensable. Never al
low o pig to bury itself In stable ma
ture or catch cold by sleeping on cold
ground. For fattening pigs, nothing
beats two third pea.meal and two
third barley meal; if mixed with
SKINNED milk, steamed roots and
potatoes, they grow and fatten very
fast. He fattened two hundred pigs
one season without loosing any by
disease. To promote ventilation they
we're all placed on spared floors, and
in hot weather they were treated daily
with a shower bath, which kept them
very clean. He put straw on the
floors in cold weather, and he says
pigs pay in manure better than most
other animals. They should have salt
and plenty of pure water.
