Arsenic for Hogs.

For the benefit of the hog breed
ers of our country send the fol
lowing: heard a reliable gen
tleman say he had several pigs
that lay around the yard and un-
der the house until they wee
nearly dead with tue mange.-
They were very annoying aud he
wanted to get rid Of them; but to
use his own words, be "hated to
knock them in the head with
lightwood knots" SO he procured
come arsenic and gave them about
two grains apiece. About three
hours after that he found them
stretched out in the sunshine, aud
he thought sure they were ''gon-
ers," but to his great surprise
The pigs were up at "grub time,
with appetite as "keen as a briar.
He gave them another dose, but
instead of it's causing their exit
they commenced thriving from
that day. In a short time they
had shed allthe old hair and scales,
q new coat came out, and he said
he had neverhad a finer or health
Ter lot of hogs in his life from
that time until they were killed
for bacon. l know from my own
experience that a certain quantity
Of strychnine will cure mango Il
hogs when nothing else will. A
hog that has taken strychnine or
arsenic should not be killed in two
or three months, as it will take
that time for the poison to get
ont of the blood.-Soutke1a

Disease Of Horses Joints.

The knee joint is very large
and important, and is liable to
many injuries, as sprain, which is
Immediately followed by extern
sive l. fammation, the symptoms of
which are tolerably we'll marked,
but as a matter Of course, vary
somewhat, according to the ex.
tent of the injury. When severe
there is considerable swelling a.
round the joint; the horse is lame,
when trotted the lameness is great.
ly increased, which is a marked
popularity of knee joint lameness.
The horse when standing, slightly
bends the knee, and if the joint is
quickly fiexed or given a rotary
motion ne evinces great pain,
which is Immediately shown by
his instantly rearing MP. In the
walk he brings the leg forward
with a swingingmotion. Iuaamma-
ton of the knee is very apt tore
suit in partial or complete stiffness
of the joint. In slight sprains Of
the knee there is little swelling and
the symptoms are not so well mar
ked, and considerable difficulty is
sometimes experienced by people
who are not aware of the struc
ture of this beautiful but complex
articulation. In the treatment of
injuries in this situation, however
trivial, it is of the utmost impor-
lance that the patient should be
allowed perfect rest. 1t is ofton
desirable that be should be kept
standing in his stall, and the leg
carefully bandaged with proper
ly applied flannel bandage. The
following liniment may also be
used several times a day: Equal
parts of laudanum, tincture of
arnica and tincture of camphor.
In prolonged cases it is generally
necessary to use q powerful coun-
ter irritant, as cantharldineoint.
ment or tincture of canthari-
des, which should be applied a.
round the whole joint.-Canadd

Collie in Horses.

Thousands of valuable animals,
every year, are carried off by this
disease, which is generally the re-
suit of neglect or improper feed
ing, There are many remedies
Tor it, published. There is per,
haps none better, or more gener
ally at hand than tobacco. 1t
should be used as an injection, in
the leaf, mOistened and repeated as
often as it is needed. 1t relaXes
the system, and relieves the pain.
We have known very obstinate
cases cured IN this way.

Uses of Grapes.

The London Garden has the
following words Of praise for
this delicious fruit, which, not
withstanding its ease of culture
and adaptability to our climate,
is too little known amongst us.
By covering the vines in winter,
the concords may be ripened
even as far north as Minnesota.
Men can live and work on
grapes and bread. The peasant
ry of France, Spain and Italy
make many satisfactory meal
in this way, and of the whole
someness of the diet there can
be no doubt. Medical men con-
stantly recommend the use Of
grapes for their patients. To
sit under ones own vine has, in
all ages, been considered the
acme Of rural happiness-an
emblem Of peace, symbol of
plenty, and a picture Of content
ment. That pleasure, though
perhaps not in all its fullness,
may become the heritage Of
thousands in these temperate
climes. Neither our latitude,
longitude, nor cratic climate
forbid the growth Of the grape
vine throughout the larger part
| Of the country. In many dis
tricts its fruit will ripen suffi-
ciently to be useful for eating.
Ripe grapes are universally es-
Iteemed. No one tires Of them.
If any one declined to eat their
own grapes, or grow more than
were needed for home consump-
ton, there is a ready market in
most neighborhoods for grapes,
at from four pence to a shilling
a pound, according to quality.
Thus a tiourishing vine on the
gable end or front Of a cottage
might make or save the rent
many times over. l know many
cottage gardens in which the
vines are not only the chief or
nament, but the main source Of
profit. These might be multi.
piled up and down the country
to infnity. There need be no
fear Of an excessive supply
neither are ripe grapes so per-
ishable as most other fruits.
Cut with a piece Of wood at
tached, and placed in bottles OF
water, suspended in a dry room,
the fruit will keep good for
months, and even improve by
keeping.

Fall Butter Making.

There is a fair profit in making
good butter in the tall Of the year,
even If a farmer makes it to sell in
the winter season when nice batter
isgenerally scarce. CowSought to
have pastures Of tame grass and
clover or plenty of crab grass,
pea or corn fields to run in. 1t
generally pays to give each COW a
quart Of corn meal or more at ev-
cry milking. 1t tends to harden
The butter and improve its quality.
Salt should be given to cows three
or four times n week regularly,
but at no time in excess, unless
kept by theI all the time. Good
feeding, pure water to drink and
shelter from storms are important.
AS soon as the milk turns sour
in the pan the cream should be re.
moved into the cream Jar and salt
ed to keep it sonnd, unless it is to
be used at once. One obtains the
best butter when he has COWS e.
nough to churn every morning,
never keeping cream "A hours in
a jar or crock. Never keep cream
IN Il tin vessel. if you can well a.
void it. Nothing is more easily
tainted by deleterious odors than
milk, cream, butter and new cheese.
Hence the utmost DeatnesS in ev-
erything connected with the dairy
is indispensable to success. l. is
a mistake to agitate cream violent
ly to bring the butter in the short
est possible time. 1t Injuries the
grain of the butter. Good cream
at the right temperature (62 de-
grees) should be churned from 20
to 30 minutes, varying with the
condition of the cream. Butter
should be taken from the churn
and worked with a wooden ladie
or paddle, and never by the hand.
All the milk should be carefully
worked out, and n little pure salt
worked in the butter; and it should
be packed so as to exclude the air
as much as possible. A covering
OF strong brine is often used
Some use a cloth filled with but.

the most sleep. Time gained
from necessary sleeps not saved,
but lost. Mind and body will
both suffer. Most people, how,

A blacksmith is to have said
succeeded in changing the gait
of a pacing horse to that of a
trotter, by sir ply fastening an
extra pair of shoes heavier than
usual to the fore feet whenever
he wants the horse to trot, and
taking them off at all other
times. The sudden change of
weight on his fore feet forces
the horse to change his gait.

The TEMPLEroN TRAGEDY. time it is
. wife, in good circumstances and moving in
the best society, who is shot by her husband
in the open street in broad daylight. Mrs.
Templeton, who is daughter Of General Bab-
cock, lived unhappily with or had only recently
separated from her husband He shoots
her in his anger and disappointment. The
crime, though exceedingly base and cowardly,
differs only from many others which were
recently committed in the social standing of
the criminal and his victim. 1t is another and
. most painful evidence of the depravity
which underlies our social system 1t is vain
to preach sermons on assassinations of this
kind except through stern and severe punish
ment There is no possible excuse or pallia-
tion for an offender base enough to assassinate
o woman in the street, and the offence is all
the more damning when the victim is the
assassin's wife.

Arctic Exploration.

A serious blow TO the projected cxplors.
ton in 1874 of the North Polar region il
the famine in Greenland, caused by the fail
ure of the seal and whale fisheries. Wo
learn from despatch in yesterday 8 HERALD
that the inhabitants of one entire vii
lage. consisting of one hundred and
fifty persons, was swept away by star
vation. AS any expedition which goes
to the Arctic Circle with an honest in
tention of reaching the Pole must depend
upon hourishing bases Of operation, whore
supplies can be deposited and drawn from,
this disastrous failure of the fisheries will fall
like wet blanket on those ardent geograph-
ers who hoped that the spring of 1875 might
find the great geographical problem solved.
There has been amazing activity among the
learned societies Of Europe to induce the gov
ernments to fit out creditable and co-operat-
ing fleets to take up the highway left by
Captain hall at latitude eighty-two degrees
sixteen minutes, and follow it out until the
Pole should be reached. We hope that the
Danish authorities will not permit their settle
ments TO languish. because it is Of interna-
tonal importance that they should be maiA-
tanned until we know more tabout that
mysterious region Of ice and night of over
twenty-four hundred miles in diameter.
