Diseases of Hogs.

The Planter and Farmer gives these
recipes for the treatment of cholera.
mango, and worms in hogs "There are
but three diseases requiring treatment,
which are mango, cholera, and worms in
the kidneys, commonly called breaking
down in the loins. For mango, wash
well with I've soap, and then pot liquor.
For cholera, if know the disease, as
soon as you see the hog begin to drop
and try to vomit, gag him, and give him
twenty grains of calomel made into
pill. Ii you have been in the habit of
giving your hogs spirits of turpentine at
the rate of one tablespoonful to the hog,
put it on corn, and you will rarely be
troubled with this fatal disease.
IF the first dose of calomel does not
relieve in twenty-four hours, repeat the
dose. rarely have to repeat it if ad-
ministered in time. We sometimes see
hogs dragging their hind legs. This is
caused by worms in the kidneys, and
may be easily cured by giving table
spoonful of turpentine every morning
for three or four days mixed with corn.
Hogs which have been feeding on acorns
are most subject to this disease, and
should have the turpentine at least twice
week while feeding on this mast.
Every hog feeder should keep bottle
OF the spirits of turpentine, and give it
occasionally through the year; he will
find it of great benefit to his hogs. I
have practiced this for twenty years sue
cessfully. 1t seems 70 be specific food
for all hog diseases

Rat-Proof Corn Crib.

The simplest way Of making corn crib
rat-proof is to set it on posts, say two
feet high, and at the top place inverted
tin pans, of size sufficient to extend two
or three inches over the posts. Then
keep the crib separated from every other
building, and from the ground except by
these posts.-- Western Farmer.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Fertilizers.


In referring to fertilizers the Boston
journal Of Chemistry says : One of the
most important facts which this extraor-
binary wet season has brought out
IS, that fertilizers applied to soils in dry
summers without appreciable effects are
rendered available in those that are wet.
The plat upon which our fertilizers have
been applied during the past years, when
the rainfall has been so deficient. pro-
ducing wonderfully this season. The
fertllizing substances have been living
dormant in the soil for want of water to
render them soluble or to hold them in
solution, and this year the conditions
have been favorable for promoting the
changes, chemical and mechanical. neces-
sary for plant fooe to be made available.
Owing to the dry weather the past three
years, 1t has been difficult to conduct ex-
perlments with manure, and reach any
thing like reliable results. Hundreds of
farmers have been misled, and have con-
demned as worthless manurial sub
stances which had positive value, but
which needed the usual material agencies
to render them assimilable. Farm dung
and stable manures, as well as chemical

influence upon soils to which they have
been applied, because of the absence of
rain. This season they have been thor
oughly subjected to the action of water,
and crops have been benefited by the
dormant manurial agents applied two or
three years ago. Manures are not lost
which do not act promptly, unless they
are blown away by winds or are washed
into brooks by sudden and violent show
ers, which sometimes fall upon the
baked earth in summer. IF they remain
in or upon the soil, favorable seasons,
which are sure to come, will force them
to give up to plants the food they con
tain, and the husbandman receives his
returns in abundant crops.

The manner in which the gentle duck
is beguiled with amateur hunters is
enough to fill that much-wanted biped
with disgust at the remorseless greed
of man. A Minnesota youth, finding
the ducks on Rice lake too wary to wait
until they were shot, determined to re-
sort to other means to obtain enough
for the family Sunday dinner. He Sc
lected pumpkin, cut hole IN 1t, re-
moved the interior, and carried it to the
shore of the lake, where, divesting him
self of his clothing and placing the
pumpkin over his head, he waded In
among the rice where the ducks were
feeding. In a short time the chief duck
approached to reconnoiter, and seeing
nothing more formidable than juicy
and toOthsome pumpkin he signaled his
companions, and they advanced in Or
der to feast upon the fortunate windfall.
While on their way toward the banquet
they were surprised by seeing the chief
duck suddenly dive under the water,
feet foremost, and failing to come up.
Another duck took upon itself the otf1ce
of scout in order to investigate the
cause of this strange proceeding, and In
turn made back semersault with sur
prising rapidity, and was seen no more.
Duck number three; who followed, went
down tail feathers first with a scream
and despairing futtering of its pin
ions, and also neglected to come back
and tell what the matter was. The re-
mainder of the bereaved flock took to
fight with terror depicted upon their
countenances, and doubtless with a
firm conviction that there was a myste-
-,,rvoVNIrfT,d thof
duck can find out. That Minnesota
youth had his Sunday dinner, but he
got it in a very unsportmanlike manner:
consider it great feat to kill small
number of soldiers but the croWnlng
glory of their lives is to kill few aged
and helpless women. After having
buiehered some whites, or their red
neighbors, they glorify themselves for
many days, holding the scalLs OF white e
derision, and painting themselves up
until they look like the veriest fends
on earth, which they are.

Fortune Telling.

The nuisance of fortune-telling has
increased greatly in Prussia during the
last ten years, is now flourishing, both
rs a stable business and a lucrative one
for travelling humbugs. The abuse has
at last become so great that the Prus-
sian courts are looking after the matter,
and discussing the question of their
jurisdiction under the new code in this
line of vice and swindling. They have
undertaken to punish some of these
wretches, and we wish them much sue
cess IN their enterprise. Some of the
swindlers have been sentenced to i'm
prisonment, and one of these lately ap-
pealed to higher court, which intro
duced most interesting investigation
into the grounds for which the Germans
consider themselves justified in punish
ing mountebanks. AS there were miti-
eating circumstances, the judge of the
appeal lessened the punishment, but
still gave two weeks imprisonment, in
consideration of the fact that these per-
sons in a Christian land endeavor by
public announcements of various kinds
to attract the ignorant masses into
heathenish practices, and mislead them
into the most disgusting and silly super
stition-all of which the court considers
a crime against good morals, and one
with which the state has right to in
terfere.

COMING AND GOING,
DR.. s. T. CLARK.

Winds, to-day, from yonder lilacs blowing through
my open door,
Bore their fragrance to baby who had never
breathed before.
But the dear old man who knew them, Just as
fresh and purple then,
Seventy years ago. as now, will never, never breathe
again
One was going up to heaven as the other came to
earth;
And the mortals and immortals each made record
of birth.
As two souls upon the boundary which divides that
world from this,
Met and parted, in the melting of first and last
sweet kiss
With weary wall of welcome saw the little child
the day!
With song of praise triumphant passed the patri-
arch away
All the same-the Graded cherub or the pulseless,
cOfhned cold
Life and death alike angels and the messengers
of God

How Negroes Fight at Home.

The Haussas are the most civilized OF
the African tribes; and their language,
like French, is a cosmopolitan tongue.
They, however, are inordinately fond of
boxing, and in Clapperton's diary the
following account is given of a match :
"The boxers arrived, attended by two
drums and the whole body of butchers,
who here compose the fancy A ring
was soon formed by the master of the
ceremonies throwing dust on the spec
tators to make them stand back. The
drummers entered the ring and began
to drum hastily. One of the boxers
followed. He placed himself in an at
titude as if to oppose an antagonist,
and brought his muscles into action,
seemingly to find out that every sinew
was in full force for the approaching
combat then coming from time to time
to the side of the ring, and presenting
his right arm to the bystanders, he
said: Il am a hyena am a lion; /
am able to kill all that oppose me. The
spectators to whom he presented him
self laid their hands on his shoulder,
repeating: The blessing of God be
upon thee > 'Thou art a hyRna ; Thou
art a lion.' He then abandoned the
ring to another, who showed off in the
same manner. The right hand and
arms of the pugilists were now bound
with narrow country cloth, beginning
with a fold round the middle finger,
and then passed in many turns round
the fist. the wrist and forearm. After
about twenty had separately gone
through their attitudes of defense and
appeals to the bystanders, they we're
next brought forward by pairs. If they
happened to be friends, they laid their
left breasts together twice, and ex-
claimed: we are lions we are
friends = One then left the ring, and
another was brought forward. If the
two did not recognize one another as
friends the set to Immediately COM
menced. On taking their stations, the
two pugilists first stood at some dis
tance, parrying with the left hand open,
and whenever opportunity offered, strik-
ing with the right. They generally
aimed at the pit of the stomach and
under the ribs. Whenever they closed,
one seized the others head under his
arm and beat it with his fist. In this
position, with the head in chancery,
they are said sometimes to attempt to
gouge or SCOOP out one of the eyes.
When they break loose they never fail
to give swinging blow with the heel
under the ribs, or sometimes under the
left ear. 1t is these blows which are 30
often fatal. The combatants were i'm
mediately separated by my orders, as
they were beginning to lose their tenn
pers. When the sparring-match was
heard of, the girls left their pitchers at
the we'll, the market people threw their
baskets, and all ran to see the fight.
The whole square before my house was
crowded to excess. After six pairs had
gone through several rounds, ! ordered
them, to their great satisfaction, the
promised reward, and the multitude
quietly dispersed"
