treatment of many diseases, sprains and lame

there is nothing so good as water for recent
sprains of the fetlock, fever in the feet, and
superficial infiammatiOns, and it should be used
freely in all cases of Inflammation of the brain,

THE white hairs that often appear on horses
from the use or wear of saddle or harness are
very unsightly. A correspondent of the Massa-

Take piece of lard, large enough to give the

hand until it becomes hot, repeating the opera

natural color will take their place. have tried

WE hear many complaints this winter of the
ravages of the rabbits on Young fruit trees, and
their depredations nave increased since the late
fall of snow. Somep persons have as many hun

OF Greeley, and the confirmation of farmers who
nave followed the sagc's advice, an excellent
protective remedy is to smear the trees well

A RULE-By which you can tell whether any
standing tree will make stick of timber of any
required length. Measure from the root of the
tee on the ground distance equal to the length
of timber required,-cut stick as long as from
your eyes to the ground; set the stick mp just
its length towards the tree from the spot inca
sured to, then sight from the place measured to,
over the top of the standing stick, and where the
eve strikes the tree will be the same distance
from the ground as you from the tree.

PoTATo BUGS ON THE RAMpAGE.-
Says the Emporium Independent: This
section of country is literally over run
with potato bugs, and when one is
killed dozen seem to come forward to
take its place, and they are not ouly nu-
merous but the way they go into the
potato plants is horror to those who
are foni of this farinaceous tuber.
Nearly every one you meet seems to
have a remedy that will certainly kill
these pests, but as yet all have proved
failure. The most successful remedy
we have tried thus far, is a solution
of Paris green and water-say in the
proportion Of about one-quarter of a
pound of the former to ten quarts Of
water, sprinkled on the vines with q
wisp broom. The solution is a deadly
poison and if you can coax the bugs to
eat it even in small quantities, it will
cause them to turn up their toes most
beautifully and destroy their taste for
potato vines.

Duty OF TOWNSHIP OFFIcERs.-
Those interested should not lose sight
OF the fact that a law has been passed
by the legislature requiring the auditors
of the several townships, boroughs and
cities, Immediately after their annual
meeting on the first Monday in June,
to avertise in one or more county papers,
an itemized annual statement OF the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the borough
councils, road commissioners, supervisors,
overseers of the poor and school direc-
tors, for the year preceding the annual
settlement for their respective district
Said advertisements are to be published
within ten days after such settlement;
and further, it shall be the duty of said
auditors to file a copy of the same with
the town clerk, in their respective dis
tricts, and also with the clerk of quarter
sessions, which will be at all times sub
ject to inspection by any citizen thereof
Provided, that where two said Offices
shall be exercised by the same persons
only one statement shall be required
Also provided that nothing in this act
shall be constructed to interfere with
the present law, which requires an
nual statements Of the receipts and ex-
penditures of the borough councils, road
commissioners, supervisors, overseers Of
the poor and school directors, to be ad
vertlsed in the daily and weekly news
papers published in the respective locali
ties. For neglecting or refusing tC
