The Horse Epidemic,
From the Buffalo Evening Post.1


This disease is acute catarrh or in
f1uenza, prevailing at this time as an cpl
demic. 1t consists of irritation, conges-
tion and Inflammation of the mucous lin
ings of all the air cells and passages of
the head and throat. Everybody knows
the symptoms. Little medicine should be
given, as there is more danger of giving
too much than not enough. BY careful
nursing 80 out of 100 will get along very
well without internal medicine. Take
away their hay and oats; feed warm bran
mash and clean oat or rye straw moisten-
ed with brine. We have given our horses
land we have six all sick with the dis
temper) from six to eight drachms of bro
mide of potassium two or three times
day, dissolved in bran mash, for the
first two or three days while the inflamma-
tion lasts. This medicine is a powerful
sedative, and as such lessons the flow of
blood to the head and lungs. l have pre-
scribed the bromide of potassium for
two years past to break up severe colds
(which is acute catarrh) of myself, family
and friends, and it never failed to cure
the cold effectually in from IL to "a
hours.
1t has worked well on my horses After
the nose begins to run freely, the danger
is passed, and by good care the horse
will soon be well. Externally used,
and would recommend, DIR. Trask's Mag
netic Ointment to the throat, around the
ears, and on the forehead. This ointment
contains tobacco and lobelia, and operates
upon the mucous glands of the head and
throat, by causing an increased flow OF
secretion from them, at the same time, by
its relaxing effect, removing the structure
and giving almost instant relief to the
cough and breathing. Free ventilation
(but avoiding draughts of air) is very inn
portant; good fresh air is very essential
therefore burning tar or anything of the
kind should be avoided. Ifthe weather il
not stormy, turn the horse out during the

Signs OF a Good Milker.

In an address before the Mass
chusetts Agricultural College, as re-
ported in Xearth and Home, Charles
l.. Flint said:
"Guonon, Frenchman, whose
life was passed among cows and
dairy cattle, and who was a careful
and intelligent observer, discovered
certain marks on the uddcr and its
surroundings, which he called the
escutchcon, and deemed an infallible
sign drinking qualities. 1t con-
sists in certain perceptible spots,
rising up from the udder in differ
ent directions, forms, and sizes, on
which the hair grows upward, while
the hair on the other part of the
body grows downward. This turn
ing up Of the hair is an indication
of the structure and tissues beneath
and ifthc mirror is strongly marked,
by placing the hand upon it, the
veins and network may be felt.
The milk mirror is one OF the best
signs Of q good mixer, but some
times this mirror is possessed by
COWS of inferior quality. In such
cases, the other signs of the quality
will be wanting. We should find
whether the COW possesses such
marks as a large udder in proper
ton to the size Of the animal, and
soft, thin skin, with loose folds cx-
tending well back, capable Of great
extension when filled; large, well
developed milk veins, especially
the large ones under the belly,
which should extend we'll forward
to the navel, and apparently lose
themselves in q cavity in the flesh,
into which the end Of the finger can
be inserted. If the COW possess
these, in connection with the mirror
she may be taken as Il good mixer.
The escUteheon is found in calves,
and when found well developed,
the calf should be preserved for the
dairy. There are a great number
Of external signs, which judges con
slider indications Of milk, most of
which are found to fail in individual
cases; but good COW should always
have q strong constitution, as indi-
Gated by large lungs, which arc in .
deep, broad and prominent chest,
broad and well spread ribs, a re-
SEPARATION somewhat slow and regu-
lar, good appetite, and if in milk,
a strong inclination to drink, which
a large secretion Of milk almost in
variably stimulates. In such cows
the digestive organs are active and
energetic, and they make an album
dance Of good blood, which, in turn
stimulates the activity of the merry
Gus system, and furnishes the milky
glands with the means Of abundant
secretion. a bright, sparkling eye,
but Of peculiar placidncss of ex-
preston, with no indication ofwild-
ness, but a mild, feminine look,
small, tapering yellowish horns,
small, thin neck, tapering towards
the head, fore-qnarters small, COM
pared with the headquarters, are
good indications of milk.

How TO Stop HENS From SET.
TING.-Our lady friends who gener-
ally have charge Of the poultry de
partment, are some times worried
and tortured by the obstinacy Of
hens that persist in setting when
they arc not wanted to perform that
duty. Many plans have been tried
to prevent hens from setting, such
as tossing them in the air, driving
them from place to place, but the
best way is to fasten string to the
hens leg, say, four or five feet in
length, and tie the other end to a
stake driven in the ground, close to
the path where you are in the habit
Of passing frequently, and scare her
as often rs you go that way. One
day effects cure.

Lessons from a Strawberry.

Some time since an American was
expatiating on English ignorance
He had found in London men OF
considerable intelligence who did
not know whether potatoes grew in
the ground, or how they grew. He
was astonished soon after by sim
liar occurrence at home. A lawyer
"a Philadelphia lawyer at that-in
case before court, did not know
how many years it took to bring the
cabbage to perfection. The fact is,
none Of us can afford to laugh at
our neighbors' ignorance; and es-
pccially when that ignorance is in
regard to common things.
Here is the strawberry before us.
How many know what it is they are
eating? We talk of the delicious
"berry," when in truth it IS not a
berry at all. But this is not sur
prising, for, as already said, even
those learned in the higher branch
es have singular ignorance about
the objects Of everyday life. The
writer remembers an examination
in botany Of a college graduating
class. 1t always had been the Gus
tom to question the students upon
the leading differences between the
principal families of plants. On
this occasion, instead Of the expect
ed inquiry: GLOW is Rosacea dis
tinguished from Papilionacca?" or
some such learned interrogatory,
they were asked to tell, in descrip-
tive language, the difference be-
tween strawberry, a blackberry,
and a mulberry. No one could say,
though they had presented them
selves for examination as experts in
botanical studies.
The strawberry is not berry,
1t is barely entitled to rank as a
fruit. The delicious morsel is sim
ply the receptacle or upper portion
Of the stem on which the seeds are
set. Every child knows the dandc-
lion and its silk-like seeds, which
in playfulncss it blows away in or
der to see "What's o'clock" Then
there is left on the stem punctured
surface, like the end Of thimble.-
If now this dotted surface were to
become more cellular, and swell
rapidly as mushroom swells, car
rying along with it the seeds to its
surface, we should have fruit like
unto a strawberry. This is precise
ly how the strawberry is produced.
1t is one of those instances where q
very small incident resulted remark
ably. There are other plants close
ly allied to the strawberry-bota-
nists call them Potcntillas-which
are strawberries in everything but
this pulpy matter underlying the
seeds. The whole of these plants
"a very extensive family-are ut
terly worthless for any purpose to
man. Surprising, on the Darwinian
theory, that the strawberry is devel-

To MAKE FLOATING ISLAND
One quart of milk, four eggs; take
the yolks and put them in the milk;
add sugar to your taste; put over
the fire and let it come to boil; if
you boil it, it will curdle; season to
suit the taste; put some milk over
the fire, and beat the whites of the
eggs to froth; when the milk
boils, put the beaten eggs on the
milk to boil; then place it on the
custard, and your Island will be
floating.

Horses Not Much Better than Men.

We find the following in the 7ult,
Field anil FuaM:
Mr.. Thomas Fitzpatrick put his
two road mares to the pole early in
the spring. AS both were good step
pcrs, they promised to make rapid
team. Both were little high strung,
and each seemed to have 4 good opin-
ion of herself The two were cour-
teously polite to each other, but there
was no strong display of affection
While gently driving in Central
Park one day, the sorrcl mare made
an awkward step, and cut the bay
mare on the ankle. The accident
appeared to stir up bad blood. Mad
dened with pain, the bay mare bit
the sorrel, and this act of hostility
was quickly resented. The mares
now forgot their politeness and each
struggled to inflict as much injury
upon the otter as possible. On ar
irving at the stables and being de-
tached from the wagon, instead of
walking quietly to their stalls, they
turned upon each other and engag-
ed in 4 savage fight. They were
separated with some difficulty. But
now it is out of the question to
drive them together. When they
come within sight of each other, the
eyes flash and the nostrils snort de-
fiancc. If left to themselves, they
would surely engage in conflict,
bitter and rcmorseless in the cx-
IRENE. In this manifestation of re-
vengful feeling, the two mares are
human-like. 1t is peculiar char
actcristic Of some men to treat 9th
ers with polite courtesy until their
toes are trodden on. Then they are
up in arms. The accident is quick
ly and holly resented, and in mo-
ment the seeds of deadly animosity
are sown. Man will find nearly all
Of his weaknesses and great many
Of his virtues reflected in the crowd
ed ranks of the animal world.

Start q story about brawny
woman running a farm-building
the fences, blowing the fields, driv-
ing the reaper, picking up the stones
and all that-as some fellow did
concerning a female land owner.
Catnantlaigua Lake last year-and
it goes the rounds of the whole
American press, half the editors
applauding the Amazon for her in
dependence, industry and thrift
Hardly one stops to ask if it is
womanly or proper, or civilized
even. One would almost conclude
that mankind would prefer to have
the female portion of the popula-
ton do all the hewing of wood and
drawing of water. But it should
be remembered that such perfor-
mances on the part Of the females
are only groupings out of the bar
barism that only portion of the
world has even yet emerged from.
England has plenty of it left in the
manufacturing counties. A late
writer in the London Telegraph
describes trip into Staffordshire,
where the woman work at the black
smiths forge as long and as hard
as the men. He says it is not uncom-
mon to find a motcr and three lusty
daughter, fully Of manageable
age, stripped to their stays, and
with a kerchief over their shoulders
welding the hammers and Juggling
at the bellows, making twelve hun
dred nails for twelve pence, and
working from eight in the morning
to ten at night. At Lyc Waste,
whole streets are made up Of these
smithies, in which these women
and their children toll, year in and
year out, beside their husbands and
brothers. They have about as
much refinement and intelligence as
n digger" Indian. Let our wom-
en- take to the pillow and hoe, and
we should soon have districts in
which they will rival these muscu-
lar females of the Staffordshirc
smithies? We are Disguised with
all this talk about women farmers.
Let our girls take all the prizes at
our universities; drive all the men
from the rostrum; run our banking
and brokerage; keep our shops; be-
come governors and presidents, vote
and be happy according to their
capabilities; but deliver us from
female blacksmiths and farm labor
ers. If a man is not fitted for this
work, we don't know what his par
ticular sphere can bc.-Pairic
