Relieving Cholked Cattle,

On an animal becoming choked Will
any hard substance that cannot pass tn,
gullet, harsh measu res should never b.
used until all others have failed.
The practice Of placing bloch
against one side Of the throat and en-
deavoring to break the obstruction with
, mallct, as is sometimes practiced, il
simply brutal. One Of the simplest
and at the same time MOST eficaciou.
remedies is to give half pint Of lard
oil or melted lard, by drawing out the
animals tongue, raising tho head and
administering from a thick bottle
This lubricatcs tho gullet, sickeus the
stomach, relaxes the muscles Of the
throat, and in coughing, the lodged
substance will generally pass either up
or down.
If the choking has existed 20 long
that Inflammation of tho throat has en-.
sued, resort must DO had to the probsng,
any flexible rod either whaleboane, vul.
canizcd rubber, etc with sponge or
soft substance affixed to the end. In.
troduce tho soft end into the throat,
holding the animals head up, and the
obstruction being reached, prcss it firm.
~ down at any risk, for it is now a
case Of life and death.
10 relieve the Inflammation, apply a
slippery-elm poultiee, keeping it 10
close contact with the throat by secur-
ing the folds in which it is placed by
means Of cords to the horns, keep the
animal on soft food, assisted by linseed
tea, until the Inflammation is subdued

ashes arc also Of much importance.

ashes arc also Of much importance, as
they contain salts highly conducive to
plant growth. The agricultural world
has never yet settled the question as
to the value of common salt as q fer.
tilizer \; but any farmer who will apply
to bis growing wheat ut the rate Of al
least City pounds ind not over one
hundred pounds per acre, can deter
mine the question for himself when
toward the time Of harvest, he per.
ceives the thriftiness Of the straw, the
plumpncss Of the grain, al the great
~ increased yield over that Of any
portion Of the field that was not treated
with salt. There is danger in the
use Of salt in excessive quantities as a
fertilizer, aud therefore We fix the pre-
cautiouary limit Of not over 100 lbs.
per acre. Tho price Of sale does not
place it beyond economical use as fer
tilizer, as in almost all sections Of the
older States, the quantity judiciously
applied to an acre can be purchased at
from sixty cents to a dollar aad a
quarter. Salt is not only stimulating
to the growth and effective in the yield
Of wheat, but produces earlier maturi-
ty Of the crop, thus affording an ave-
nue. Of escape from tho other malady
Of tho wheat plant, rust on the stem
and blade, from which our wheat crops
in the South are in greater peril than
from smut. Rust is generally an al.
most complete blight, while emut il
usually but damaging to the quality Of
the crop produced.-N. Y. World.

THElegislators of Pennsylvania are
talking of voting themselves increased
pay, with a retroactive clause similar to
the Congressional grab: We don't
know what can restrain this venal spirit,
witch laughs at indignant sentiment
and jeers at the threatened retaliation
Of the people at the polls. 1t is evil
dent that there is no sufficient barrier
to these frauds. The members who
thus 6lch from the public treasures
get what they deem an ample equive-
lent for the punishment of remaining
at home hereafter, and no doubt say to
themselves that they can afford to
brave the condemnation Of their con.
stituents for the sake Of five, ten, o,
fifteen thousand dollars apiece. There
ought to be stringent law against
such rascally performances, but it is
not very Aattering to the present Con
gress and State Legislatures to know
that this is the first time in the history
Of the Republic that such a provision
against wholesale dishonor has been re-
quired.-lnter- Ocean.

Ashes and Salt for the Growing
OF Wheat.

All farmers who have growing wheat
should avail themselves Of the oppor-
tuuity in the leisure days Of winter,
to top dress the wheat land with these
substances. Ashes, from the contained
potash, afford q most valuable fertilizer,
not only as direct food for the wheat
plant, but also for their solvent effect
npon some constituents in the soil.
They are also effectual in destroying
the germ Of smut that was sown with
the grain for smut is but fungus
growth of dimiuutive form that ad-
heres to the grain Of wheat, and its
growth is analogous to that Of other
vegetable forms, more apparent to the
eve. We take it for granted that no
good farmer has sown his wheat with
out soaking the seed in blue stone, or
strong brine, both Of which are effect
ual in destroying tho germ or smut;
but it this we're neglected by any, the
top dressing with ashes will supply the
place Of those prcventives. Eight to
ten bushels Of unleached ashes should
be applied per acre, and more would be
still better. This home fertilizer is
generally accumulated rapidly on eve.

3. Have regular and long sleep
Going to bed aud rising at particula,

4. Keep the mind as much inter
ested aud amused as possible by harm
less games, sports, etc.
5. Take a warm bath daily about

6. Break up all associations.
Z. Keep away from old resorts.
8. Quit chewing and smoking to-
bacco, for this blunts moral sense, and
makes the imagination dull. Liquor
makes the ideal faculty wild aud un.
settled, while tobacco makes it obtuse
9. Never forget that if you are to
be q new man you o'ust have new
ideas, and these must b. such as to
make you discard the use Of alcohol ia
all its forms. Do not take it as bev'
erage, for it will re-awaken the old de-
sire in the one case as readily as in the
other.

Rev. Arthur T. Pierson, in the 41sso-
c.oted Monthly, says -" Before the
age Of thirty, Virgil stood at the head
Of the Latin poets, Luther led the
hosts Of the Reformation, aud Newton
occupied tho front rank among discov.
erers. Before twenty-oight years had
passed, Herodotus had rccited his niue
books Of history at the Olympic games,
and Hannibal brought Spain into sub
lection to tho arms of Carthage. A
quarter century old, Demosthencs is the
goldcn-mouth of Greece, and Cicero
the silver.tonguc Of Rome! Raphael
is, ut the same age, summoned by Ju-
Illus II to adorn, with his immortal car
toons, the panels of the Vatican, and
Calico nightly treads the paths Of the
shining fields above, in search Of undis-
covered stars At the same age, Shakes
peare stands at the head Of oil dramatic
writer's, and Jonathan Edwards aud
George Whitefield are princes among
preachers! At twenty-five, Alexander
had overturned the Persian Empire,
and Napoleon and Washington were
accomplished generals. Plato was, at
twenty, the intimate friend and peer Of
Socrates, and called Aristotle 'the mind
Of his school, at seventeen. Pascal is
= great mathematician At sixteen. and
Bacon Is no older when he lays tho
basis Of his ioductive philosophy, and
begins to revolutionize the thought Of

SpR1:a FLooDs'-There is field
for philac thropic engineering in the
management Of spr ng foods. Many
Of these are occasioned by the forma.
ton Of ice gorges OF dams in rivers a,

obstructed by bridges. These gorges
upon breaking up, destroy an immense
amount Of property in steamers and
wharves in the Mississippi, every
year, and one has for some days been
threatening the city Of Port Deposi,

river. Now that the invention Of giant
powder and qualin have placed III on,

with v'gor in all directions, downward
as we'll as upward, we ought to manage
these ice-dams. At points where they

what m opportunity tac AOSe'
Suppose that on the morning of
Tuesday, March 4, when the bill in
creasing salaries was handed to Presi-
dent Grant, he bad, instead Of signing
it, sent it back to the House Of Rep
resentatives, with such a message as
the following:
return herewith the bill provid-
ing for an increase Of salaries without
my signature, which withheld for the
following reasons
II. This bill gives me $4,000 a
year for the next four years, without
regard to the fact that when accepted
the nomination and election contrac-
ted With the people to perform the du.
ties Of tho Office for $25, 1000 a year. !. It
would be dishonest in me to draw any
more by virtue Of q bill passed as this
one has been, and l refuse the proffcr
accordingly. Besides apart from this
decisive consideration. tho question OF
increasing the Presidents salary was
not discussed and decided by the PEG.
pie in the recent election, aud do not
think that measure Of so serious q
nature respecting the compensation Of
their public servants should ever be
passed until they have had an oppor-
tuuity Of expressing their Judgment
upon it.
II. I also disapprove Of the bill
because it increases the pay. Of men,
bers Of Congress for = period Of SER
vice already performed and already
paid for. This appears to me to be a
more fragrant invasion of popula,
rights and Of the principles Of common
honesty, even than that clause in the
bill which doubles the Presidents sal
ary."-N. r. Sun.
