A Good Horse LinIment.

FREEDOMS HOME, KY,
January, 1874.-Having seen
at various times inquiries for
remedies that will remove
swellings on horses, [ offer
the following as a very excel
lent remedy; having used it
in very dangerous and serious
eases on stock of my own and
others. Swelling Jumps, either
caused by hurts, cuts, bruises,
saddle, or harness, will read
lily yield if the following lini-
ment is used. The animal
should be kept in good condi,
ton, and fed with good, easily
digestible, and not heating
food. The system should be
kept moderately open. No
doctorlng, on man or Oeast,
has a good effect unless the
system is properly attended
to.
HOW TO MAKE THE LINIMENT.
1 OF. cedar oil; 2 or. turpen-
tine: 2 OF. spirits of camphor;
/ OF. laudanum; l or. spirits
ammonia; l pint whisky; mix
well; bottle tight; keep in a
cool place. Rub we'll with
&e hands the parts affected
twice a day, and a cure will
almost surely be the result.

When q boy is put to farm labor
he is given an old hoe, a fork with q
broken tine, a round-edged ak, O
scythe that no one else will use, and
he is expected to work more hours
than a hired hand, to do all the
chores, to build fires in the morning,
to run on all errands, to turn the
grind stone, and to go to meeting in
cow-hide boots. With this exper-
ience he does not like farming; and
lecturers, editors, members of Con-
gress, and petty lawyers mourn be-
cause SO many young men go from
the farm to the city.

At a California fair several
bottles ofstrained honey were
exhibited, when a man put a
bottle of castor oil with the
rest. Several old ladies sam
pied it, with the same result.
The opinion of all who tried
it was that the bee who made
it was a fraud. One old lady
said that even the bees had
got to cheating nowadays.

Think of fattening hogs on
figs! Why, it almost makes
an Israelite break his vow
against pork. California pa
pers advise greater cultiva-
tion of the fig tree because the
food is SO good for hog feed.
An acre of figs will fatten
more hogs than will an acre
& corn.

C0aI Oil for Bolts.

Mr.. Asa Williams informs us the
coal oil is an excellent remedy fol
bolts in horses. Having heard Of
the remedy he tried it on horse
that he had been doctoring several
hours, and which was getting worse
all the time, and within five minutes
after he administered the coal oil,
the horse was up and eating. Give
from half a pint to a pint.

Cooking Meats.
From the Boston journal of Chem
istry we clip the following.

From the Boston journal of Chem
istry we clip the following:
The most economical way of using
meat is to cook it in hot water, and
serve it up in its own gravy. fit is
boiled for preparing soup, the water
should not be too quickly raised to
the boiling point, since this tends to
coagulate the albuminous portions,
and to prevent the juices from pass
ing into the water. The meat should
be chopped or cut as fine as possible,
and stepped for some time in cold
water, which should then be gradu-
ally heated up to a temperature not
exceeding $50 deg. Fahrenheit, or 62
deg. below its boiling-point. At the
last moment the soup may be allow
ed to reach the boiling point. The
bones should be crushed or broken
up into small pieces, and boiled, or
rather simmered, for eight or ten
hours, in order thoroughly to extract
the nutritive matter.
If we wish to cook meat in such
way as to preserve the maximum of
nutriment in the most digestible
form, we should place it in large
pieces in boiling water and keep it
there for five minutes. The high
temperature cosgulates the albumen
at the surface of the meat, stop up its
pores, and thus prevents the juices
from escaping. After this boiling
for about five minutes, add cold wa
ter to reduce the heat to about 120
deg. F., and keep it at that tempera-
ture till the meat is sufficiently cook
ed. 1t will then be found to be ten
der, juicy, savory and nutritious.
Sailed meat, intended to be eaten
cold, should be allowedto cool in the
water in which it has been boiled
In roasting meat, as in boiling it,
the first object should be to coagu-
late the albumen at the surface, in
order to prevent the escape of juices.
The meat should be at first placed
close to the fire, kept there for ten or
fifteen minutes, and then withdrawn
to greater distance from the heat.
If cooked in the oven of stove or
range, the oven should be very warm
when the meat is first put into it,
kept at the same heat for q short
time, then cooled down partially (by
opening the door or checking the
fre,) and the roasting should then
be allowed to go on very slowly, so
that the inner parts may be thorough
ly done The loss of weight (mostly
water and fat) is nearly one-third
more In roasting than In boiling.
Roast meat has the richer favor,
because certain aromatic principles
are developed by this mood of cook
ing. The occasional dredging of
-four over the surface of the meat
helps to stop up the pores and pre-
vents the escape of the fat. Roasted
meat is not so well suited for inva-
lids and dyspeptics as boiled meat
since it is apt to contain acrid sub
stances formed out of the highly
heated fat. Broiling is a species of
roasting, but it ordinarily produces
a more digestible food for the dys-
peptic. Frying is the worst possible
mode of cooking meat, especially for
persons whose digestive powers are
not vigorous, as it almost invariably
develops a very acid substance known
as crOLeiaae and sundry fatty acids
that are nearly as unwholesome.

The American Agriculturist says:
A warm bran-mash is a good thing
to give a horse when he is brought
home hot and exhausted from a long
journey. Blanket him at once, and
rub his ears and legs, and then rub
his belly and fanks and such other
parts of the body as can be got at
without wholly removing the blank
ct If your man thinks this too
much trouble, and viii not do the
work willingly, discharge him. Bet
ter part with a man than lose a
good horse.

not follow that he must necessarily
