Charcoal for Sick Horses.

Nearly all animals become sick from
improper eating. In nine cases out often
the digestion is wrong. Charcoal is the
most efficient and rapid corrective. It
will cure a majority of cases if proper
ly administered. An example of its
use The hired man came in with the
intelligence that one of the finest COWS
was very sick, and a kind neighber pro
posed the usual drugs and poisons. The
owner being i'll, and unable TO examine
the COW, concluded that the trouble
came principally from some over
eating, and ordered teacup of pulver-
lied charcoal given in water. It was
mixed, placed in a junk bottle, the head
held upward, and the water, with its
charcoal, poured downward. In five
minutes an improvement was visible,
and in few hours the animal was in
the pasture quietly eating grass. An
other instance of equal success occurred
with a heifer which became badly
bloated by eating green apples after a
hard wind. The blOat was so severe
that the sides were almost as hard as a
barrel. The old remedy, salerAtus, was
tried for the purpose of correcting the
acidity; but the attempt to put it down
always caused coughing, and it did lit
tie good. Half a teacupful of pow
dered charcoal was next given. In six
hourSal the appearance of bloat had
gone, and the heifer was we'll.

The New Orleans Times says that
men whose taxes foot up from 81, 900 to
$1,000 each year, can get two per cent.
a month for it, or use it in even more
lucrative ways, while the interest on
their taxes is nothing in comparison.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are
retained in this way.
A notable instance of this practice is
the case of a colored millionaire, who
has lodged paying his taxes until they
now amount to nearly 500, 900 due to
the city AMI the state. This man is a
character for romance. He is so alb
stenious that he may be called miser.
He disdains rest, and with wonderful
activity works on in a small and obscure
one-stOry house, remote from the bust
ness portion of the city. This building
is his Office and his home. It is dingy
and dilapidated on the outside. With
in, a kind of lobby pagtitioned of from
the main room, is the miser's Office. A
desk full of pigeon-holes crammed with
papers, an iron safe, and chair OF two
constitute the only furniture. Beyond
are the rooms where he lives with his
mother, a woman almost a hundred
years old Yet this man, SO unpreten-
tious in his business surroundings, has
nearly hundred tenements scattered
all over the city, which bring him any
where from 800 TO $500 per month.
He owns over $50 different proper
ties, estimated to be worth at least
800, 900, besides bonds and cash to a
large amount. This man, however,
never pays any taxes, except when he
disposes Of a piece of property, and
then only on that property. In the
sherifFs Office are tax writs against him
dating back twelve years, and to some
of them are attached as much as six
yards of foolscap filled throughout
with closely written descriptions of his
properties. The reason for avoiding
his annual taxes is speculative one.
The city charges him ten per cent. in
terest, and on his money, which he
never loans except on mortgage, he can
make from eighteen to twenty-four per
cent. Every tenth year also the taxes
of one year are wiped out by prescrip-
ton.

The Cotton Crop.


Advices from the south give some
unweleome information about the effect
of the monetary trouble on cotton
picking. The movement of cotton to
market, which usually begins about the
middle of September, and becomes very
active by the middle of October, is I'M
usually sluggish at present. There is
not only a scarcity of money to buy the
crop with, but most inconvenient scar
city of money to pay for the labor of
picking it. The result is that, at a
time when third of it ought to be
picked, ginned and baled ready to move,
a very incOnsiderable amount has been
picked on the lower Mississippi, aud
the few steamboats, in what is called the
&c Bends trade" do not get more than
half trips. The following extract from
a private letter from Mississippi ex-
plains the trouble
" Nearly one-third of the cotton crop
here will be lost on account of the plan
tiers being unable to get money to pay
the cotton pickers. In many instances
the negroes have abandoned the crop
entirely, after making one shipment, on
which they get no money. They can
not understand the condition of money
affairs, and put their own construction
on il they think it is a combination of
the merchants to get their cotton, sell
it, and pocket the proceeds; and they
say dey'u letit rot in de feels fust.'"

Here we see a heavy decline in the
gross wheat receipts from Russia dur
ing the first nine months of the present
as compared with the corresponding
periods in the two preceding years. At
the same time there is corresponding
increase in the supplies from the United

in round numbers of 5000, 600 cwts. of
wheat from Russia, and an increase of
no less than 5000, 900 cwts. in the i'm

Fitting Collars to Horses shoulders

It is very important to have a collar
fit nicely and snugly TO the shoulders of
a horse. 1t enables him TO work with a
great deal more ease, and TO apply
great deal more strength. It prevents
CALLING and wounding, as the friction is
avoided. Collars are so made or should
be so made, as to throw the chief force
on the lower part of the shoulder. The
horse can apply but little strength on
the upper part, and, for this reason,
breast collars are coming into vogue, as
the strength is exerted on the lower
part of the shoulder. But we started
out TO tell our readers how to make a
new collar at the shoulder of a horse.
The collar should be purchased of the
proper size. just before putting it ON
the first time, immerse it in water. let
ting it remain about minute, and i'm
mediateiy put it on the horse, being
careful TO have the names so adjusted
at the top and bottom as to fit the
shoulder, and then put the horse to
work. The collar, being wet, will ada1t
itself TO the shoulders, and should dry
on the horse.
When taken off it should be left in
the same shape it occupied on the horse,
and ever after you viii have snug
fitting collar and no Wounds ValIey

some people--to whom it is easiest to
be hard-children should be early in

better able TO bear il, though if it
should not come at all in after-life their
labor is in vain. Sydney Smith, on the

ST. Louis appointed for the purpose Of
furnishing facts relative to transporta-

report, which shows that the lowest
price per bushel for which corn has
been moved from and to New Orleans
is 5 Soc, and wheat &c ; that the largest
number of days the river has been
closed by ice for a series of thirteen
years has been only twenty, and that
both corn and wheat have been shipped
during the hottest months to Liverpool
via the gulf route, and arrived at that
port perfectly sound. Much other in

USE MORE PLAsrER.-A correspond
ent of the Country Gentleman makes
the following suggestion:
The lack of plaster has been clearly
seen the present season with those who
deem their land rich enough without
the sulphate. They are among the far
mers who occupy our river soil The
heads of their clover Csecond CROP are
small and without blossom the stem
corresponds. Had plaster been used,
there would have been a fine crop of
full blossomed clover, as was the case
where plaster was sown. Let us not
deceive ourselves, as we surely are do
ing when we omit the sulphate.
Glover viii stand the drouth, such as
we usually find it, in consequence
probably Of its long, penetrating root.
But it must have fair share Of moist
ure, which the large foliage of the plant
requires. The pres mt season deprives
it of this. There is a drouth under
ground, reaching beyond the extent of
the roots. Especially have we noticed
this IA our deeply and well-drained river
soil. Grass grew; and so did the
grains, including Indian corn and broom
corn. Potatoes are asuperiorc crop; buck
wheat is excellent but clover, espe-
cially the second crop, lacks.
