for liver rot, and that these animals
cannot be too literally supplied with
this saving substance. He further de-
clares that in cases of congestion of the
liver, or rot, he has found two table
spoonfuls of turpentine, shaken up In
half pint of water and given to the suf-
ferer, frequent cure, unless the dis
ease has made very great progress.
COOP BUTTER.-An exchange says ::
"The market will never be glutted with
good butter, any more than the world
will be overstocked with paintings and
sculpture. Let no one think that he
can vault into success either in making
or selling. He must begin at the bot
tom and work up. He may labor at
loss for several years. The only way is
to keep at it read, think and work :
get good customers, first at the price OF
store butter, if need be; make your
butter necessary article upon their ia
bles let them find that its quality is
unvarying, and then they will be will
ing to pay what it is worth"
No GooD.-The New York Herald
says there is no use In u anuriDg lands
to grow weeds in buying tools to rust
out under a stone wall in erecting
buildings to rot away for want of paint
and care In buying animals and leav-
ing them to the unhindered action of
disease in accommodating manure to fill
the air with its calculations and the
brooks with its teachings; in raising
forage to floor a barnyard with In buy
ing land to yearly lose its strength and
virtue in growing crops te feed un-
needed insects. Yet more than one of
these defects may be seen on almost
any farm In the country, and the extent
to which they lower the average success
of our farmers is greater than would be
believed.

COOP FARMING.-Here is the secret
of good farming. You can take from
the land more than you restore to it, in
some shape or other, without running it,
and so destroy your capital. Different
soils may require different modes of
treatment and cropping, but in every
variety of soil these are the golden rules
to be attended to Drain until you
find that the water from heaven does
not stagnate In the soil, butru through
it and off it freely. Turn up and till
the land until your foot sinks into a
air readily pass through. Let no weed
occupy the place where useful plant
could possibly grow. Collect every
particle of manuret that you can, whether
liquid or solid. Let nothing On the
farm go to waste. Put in your crops in
that course which experience has shown
to lead to success in their growth, and
an enrichment and not impoverishment
of the land. Give every plant room to
spread its roots in the soil and its leaves
in the air. And in all your operations
endeavor to be little ahead of your
neighbors.
CLEAN AND DRY STABLES. A horse
will endure severe cold weather without
much inconvenience, so long as he is
furnished with dry stable. But require
him to stand on wet, foul floor, and
his health will soon begin to fail.
Horses often suffer from cold feet and
legs, and many stables have damp and
wet floors. Few men who handle horses
give proper attention to their feet and
legs. Especially is this the case on
farms Much time is spent of morn.

the hair on the sides and hips, but al
no time are the feet examined and prop

quire more care than the body. They

spect they are almost the entire horse
All the grooming that can be done
won't avail anything if the horse i.

and then the legs will get badly out o

there is not much else of the horse ii
for anything. Stable prisons generally
are very severe on the feet and legs o.
horses and unless the buildings cal

to the horse as the pasture, and should
be avoided by all good hostlers in the
country.
