REMEDIES FOR CoL1c IN HORSES.

REMEDIES FOR Colo IN HORSES. =
A vetinarian writes: elm some cases
of simple spasmodic collie, after drink
of cold water, exposure and the like,
a stimulating and anti-spasmodic drink
will relieve, and nothing further will
be necessary. A good formula is one
to two ounces of spirits of nitrous
ether, twenty drops tincture of aconite,
and ten ounces tepid water. In, collie
from Indigestion, constipation and the
like, though this may temporarily re-
lieve, it cannot be relied on to do so
permanently. 1t is then preferable to
give laxative -four to six draehms
Barbados aloes) to clear away the ir-
ritating contents of the bowels, and
thus remove the cause. In tympanitic
collie (windy colic) an ounce Of aromatic
spirits of ammonia may be given in
ten ounces of water. In all cases alike
copious injections of warm water may
be thrown into the rectum at frequent
intervals"

DISEASES AMONG HOGS.

AS the hog cholera or other diseases
are so prevalent among the hogs in
some parts of this State, / have con
cluded to write an article for your pa
per this month, giving my experience
as to the cause, the preventive and cure
for almost all the diseases that hogs are
subject to in this country. In the first
place, | have found by close observa-
ton, that most all the diseases that
hogs are subject to, originate from
worms. The hog cholera that is SO
feared by raisers, is caused by small
worms that breed in the stomach of
hogs when their digestive organs are
deranged by foul or sour stomach.
The sow, when she is sucking her
pigs, will sometimes get off her feed,
and after her pigs are taken away from
her, she still refuses her feed, until she
gets very poor and restless. They
sometimes have craving appetite for
meat or animal food, and when so,
have very sour and foul stomach.
The acid on their stomach has SO effect
ed their teeth that they cannot eat
grain if they had an appetite. Hogs
in this fix, / have found to be infested
with large white worms. Pigs with
the mango are infested with the same
kind Of worms. The quinsy is caused
by worms irritating the throat of the
hog and bringing on Inflammation;
the blind staggers is caused by small
thread worms in the head.
Now for the preventive and cure.
| have tried, with some success, char
coal, wood ashes and soft soap. ! was
finally led to try common baking soda,
stone coal and cinders, and charcoal
made from cobs and old bones. Since
then, | have not lost a hog with the
disease, neither have | had SOW to
get off her feed when sucking her
pigs, and run down poor.
To prevent worms in hogs, take for
forty hogs, one pound of soda, one
pound Of salt, one-half bushel of dry
corn meal, mix we'll; give this amount
twice week; give them stone-coal
ashes and cinders, and charcoal made
from cobs and old bones once week.
IF your hogs are sick with the cholera,
Or have lost their appetite, give them
The same amount Of soda twice each
lay dissolved in sweet or sour milk for
.hree or four days. Let me assure you,
my readers, if you follow strictly my
direction, to prevent worms in your
hogs, you will have no sick hogs, nor
poor sows with no appetite. The soda
will neutralize the sour stomach; and
he stone-coal ashes and cinders and
charcoal made from cobs and old bones
hogs hearty unhealthy.
Pigs with the mango should be tho
'oughly cleansed and washed in soap
uds, and then treated as hogs with the
,holera. Cor. Farmers Journal.

FLORICULTURE.

HORTICULTURE.
The women Of our country live in
doors too much, and thus sacrifice their
health and spirits. They cultivate
neuralgia, dyspepsia, and their attend
ant ills, rather than the beautiful and
glorious flowers which God has scat

List to natures teachings
A little garden, all ones own, is a
real Eden; earth possesses no greater
charm and there is no cosmetic equal
to the fresh sweet morning air and the
cheerful sunshine. You can make no
investment which will give you such
interest, health, happiness, and pure
enjoyment will be the coin in which it
is paid, and the returns are not made
semi-annually but daily.
With what delight one watches the
first tiny leaves of the seed one has
planted; aud what pleasure one takes
in the unfolding of the first flower.
A grand garden cared for by a gar
dener, can never give its possessor as
much delight as one in which nearly
all the work is done by ones own hands.
To be sure, stronger muscle may be
necessary to prepare the beds, and
harden the walks, but gentler, smaller
hands can plant the seed and roots,
keep down the weeds, tie up stalks,
train, water and prune.

hands at the idea of Flora working

strength as to plant a flower garden
and rake off the weeds ; but that is
the fashion, and beef tea and stimu-

to cultivate garden successfully, if
they will commence by degrees; work

RUTA BAGAs. This is very pro-
ductive root, nutritious, easily kept
and useful for almost every kind of
stock. 1t keeps perfectly until late
in the spring, and we had it this year
until after the LIST Of May. Early
sowing gives an opportunity Of re-sow
ing if the fly attacks the crop. A
good rich sandy or loamy soil is the
best for these roots, and it must be
thoroughly prepared. Fine bones SUI
perphosphates, ashes and plaster, are
all good applications where the soil
needs the addition of some featilizer.
The ground ought to be ploughed deep
and finely narrowed. The seed should
be sown in drills about 30 inches wide,
and the plants thinned to stand 10 to
II inches apart. If any vacan-
cies occur they may be filed by trans
planting The seed is most convent
emily sown by hand drill. This
opens furrow, sows the seed and COW
efs it by one operation, besides mark
ing the next row. The seed may also
be sown from bottle, or dropped with
the thumb and finger in holes made
with the hoe Sow as soon after
ploughing as possible, as the seed
terminates quickly and is more apt
to escape the fly, from which it is
safe so soon as it gains its rough leaves.
If attacked by that pest, busting with
ashes, unslacked lime, plaster, ETC.,
when the dew is on the plants, is a
benefit. As soon as the plants appear,
run the cultiyator through the rows.
Continue this and work between the
roots with the hoe until the leaves of
the adjoining rows interfere.-Es.

EARLY PEACHES.

Early fruits should be far more pop
ular with the Southern fruit grower
than they are. In late fruits we can
everhope to compete successfully with
our Northern neighbors, but in early
fruits we have monopoly that should
be made the most Of And in no
other class of fruits may this monopoly
be made more profitable to us than in
that of peaches. Where this crop
succeeds, there is nothing so profitable
nothing, we mean, that leaves so
much clear gain, after deducting the
necessary expenses Of raising and
marketing. For instance: we have
known Yellow st. John peaches sell in
New Orleans at $27 per bushel; we
we have often the Honey peach at from
$40 to $12 per bushel; and to day we
learn that neighbor at Grand Bay
has Just received the returns of few
boxes of this latter variety, which he
shipped on the 4th inst, at $12 to $14
per bushel, hard as the times are.
The Northern early peach crop comes
in about the first Of August; in the
Middle States not earlier than the
middle of July. Here, then, we have
a monopoly Of the market, and the
very cream of it, for at least month
or six weeks. With the immense,
wide spread market to sell in and the
limited area of the Gulf States only
to supply it, we need never fear that
the very early fruit market will be
overstocked with good fruit of any
kind, and especially Of peaches. The
following varieties are the most prom
ising very early peaches, new and
old; Early Beatrice, Honey, Yellow
St. John, Early Tillotson, Alexander,
DR.. Hogg, and Troth's Early. Hale's
Early we leave out as worthless. Let

others the present season, pro bono

CRACKING OF PEARS. One of the
most intelligent and successful Of the
pear growers of America, according to
the editor of the "Gardeners Monthly"
writes that journal that pears do not
crack when the soil is sufficiently sup
piled withHime and potash, and that
they cracNmost where these salts are
deficient. Common wood ashes con
tain these salts nearly in the quantity
and proportions that pear trees on such
soil require-forty per cent. Of potash
and thirty of lime. Reasoning from
these facts he applied wood ashes at
the rate of 400 bushels to the acre,
after the fruit had formed and Cracked.
Many Of them healed up and made
perfect fruit the same season, others
not until the next season. A friend,
at his suggestion, applied them hea yiy
to favorite Butter pear tree in his
own garden for several years in success
sion, and has had, during that period,
perfect and delicious fruit. He says
he will guarantee it to cure any case
where the ashes are fairly and abun-
dainty applied. He was told by an
experienced hand that he would kill
the trees, but he cured them. He
says, therefore, do not be afraid if
one application will not suffice, give
them a larger dose next year. A
moist atmosphere, he adds, undoubted-
" encourages the growth Of the tree
and fruit, whilst the insufiiciency Of
Of proper food prevents the perfection
Of either; hence, cracked fruit and
rough old bark"

ADDRESS
Delivered by Charles w. Vernon before the
Wayne County, Indiana, Teachers Insti-
tute, September 80, 1874.

FELLOW TEACHERS The days of our
years being few, opportunities must be
well husbanded, ere the short span is
traversed, else our lives will have been
failure; but if we have labored for
the well-being of ALL though we pass away
in comparative obscurity, and are soon
forgotten, it can not be said of US, "His
works do follow him." In other words
we must work. How true the old adage
of our textbooks of the past generation,
that now should be written high upon
every escutcheon, as a maxim: There is
no excellence without great labor" Let
this thought be written at our hearts;
engraven on the threshold of every vii
lage and country school, inscribe it in
dellibly on the lintels of your own
homes; herald it again and again from
the pulpit and the rostrum, that the ris-
ing generations may drink deeply of its
truth, and imbibe its realities. ''There
is no excellence without great labor"
The philosophy of experience, in all the
past, enunciates this great truth, and we
may only judge the future, by what we
have known. Turn whithersoever we
will, among the good and great of the
earth, in our researches after light, and
we find this great truth constantly staring
US in the face. Truth cannot die; it is
immortal. Words once spoken cannot
be recalled. There has been an attempt
to illustrate this principle, by tossing
pebble into body of water. We see the
little wavelets articulating round, and
they cease not, until they reach the
shore So it is thought of the word that
has been spoken When its utterance
has once vibrated upon the air. it is
claimed that it travels on and on through
immensity, which is co-equal by compari-
son with eternity. How often has the
utterance of thought thrilled the world
and overturned established usages 1t
may have burned unspoken within the
breasts of men for ages, but when the
opportune moment came, its utterance
filled the hearts of earths turning mil
lions. Gallileo asserted that the earth
revolved, and demonstrated the fact.
The inquisition working upon his fears,
with heartless cruelty, could make him
retract, for the love of life, but could
never arrest the thought that had once
found utterance. And science though
for safety, secluded in obscure attics and
hidden hooks, took up the refrain, and
soon the world is dotted over with costly
observatories, The approaching seasons
are foretold; the coming storm is herald
ed in advance the scintillations OF starry
worlds, before unknown, are explained !;
navigation is. extended; new discoveries
are made; mighty empires spring into
existence; new ideas attained; and all
this, and more, the result of the thought,
the labor, the word of Gallileo. The
somewhat eccentric Dr. Franklin was
ridiculed by the self-wise of his day, for
standing in the rain to fly his kite, as
they said. But the chained lightning,

professions and IN every department of
business, one thing well followed is bet
ter than many irons in the fire at once.
The forces are concentrated, and success
is made doubly sure; while a division of
strength too often proves disastrous, even
in most competent hands That none
may obtain eminence without toll, we
lgain see illustrated in the life of the at
torney, for none have spent more hours
in study than he, if his success has been
of that solid and enduring kind that
only the truly wise will seek. L do not
speak of the mere shyster, who by impu-
dence and brass, without legal lore,
elbows his way into notice, and in the ab-
sence of intelligent juries and competent
courts, who are the rankest poison to all
such. And what at first may seem
strange about many of these leeches is,
that they are often graduates of law
schools. We speak not jestingly, for
this is only another illustration of the
principles enunciated in the outset
that we must labor for scccess. Many
legal graduates fail, in what is expected
of them by fond friends, for the simple
reason that they have not known what
it is to toll ; their parents being amuent,
the son has not learned the necessity of
self-reliance; and in the race with the

nent men of Illinois, there is not one

farm labor cannot develop mental facul-
ties, or call forth the latent energies of
men, to better advantage shan other call
ings; nor has the fsrm boy, as a given
age his wits sharpened to that extent,
than his more unfortunate seighbor, the
town boy has. but he has learned to labor.
But few of his days being spent in idle
ness and play, the very dru6geries of
toll have taught him hshits of industry
that go with him through life; and he

Home and Happiness.

There can be no doubt that the truest
happiness is ever TO be found ct home.
No man without home can be long and
truly happy. But the domestic group
can be productive of happiness oniy when
it is assimulated by affection, aad kept
in union by discreet friendship. Then it
tends to produce as Tauch happiness as
this world is capable Of; and its sweet
repose is sought for by all sensible men,
as ever by the wisest and the greatest.
What can be compared in our inter-
course of life with the attentions on our
family, with their exhilarsting smiles
and undissembled love? AL this raises
the gentlest and most pleasing emotions,
and calls forth all the sentiments of un-
controlled nature. What are the rap
lures of ambition, the pleasures of fame,
the delights of honor, in comparison
with this? Utterly worthless and in
slpld. Hence it is that we see senators
and heroes shutting out the acclamations
of an applauding world to partake the
endearments of family conversation, and
to enjoy the prattling of their little chill
dren in their harmless pleasures. This
is one of the purest sources of mirth. 1t
has influence, too, in amending the
heart; for innocence is communicated by
coming in contact with it; and the sweet
simplicity of children tends to purify the
heart from the pollution that it has ac-
quired from moving in the world and
mixing with men Into what an abyss
of moral degradation should we not be
sunken were it not for women and chill
dren. Well might the Great Author of
evangelical philosophy have been delight
ed with children and found in them
what he in vain sought among those who
judged themselves theirssuperiors-goo
ness and virtue Cicero with all his lib
erality of mind, felt the tenderness of
home attachment, Atones time he ac-
knowledged that he received no salts
faction in any company but in that of
his wife, his little daughter, and-to use
his own language-"his honied young
Cicero" Sir Thomas More, with his
great powers of mind, devoted great
share of his time-because he knew it to
be his duty and felt it to be his delight
to the amusement of his children. Ho-
mer, in his Ilad, in the parting interview
between Hector and Andromache, has
interested the heart of the reader in his
terrible hero by showing the amiability
of his Trojan chief, by depicting him,
while standing completely armed for the
battle field, taking off his helmet that he
might not frighten his little boy with its
nodding plumes. How refreshed are we
by this scene of domestic lovel And
how pleased to see the arm which is
shortly to deal death and destruction
among host of foes employed in caress-
an infant son with the embraces of pa
ternal love.

Power of Example.

Precept is one thing, example is quite
another. witty clergyman said to his
flock, "Do as I say, not as do, Another,
who had been accused of inconsistency
in not practicing what he preached, an
swered, You pay me so much year to
preach to you; if required to practice what
Ipreach, you must double my salary"
Consistency is always expected in 9th
ers though consistency may be little
practiced by ourselves. A mother ex-
poets her daughter to tell the truth al
ways, while she herself prevaricates. A
father expects his son to become better
man than himself, and, God be thanked,
he may, especially if he have pious, in
telligent, and godly mother, who teaches,
trains and guides him.
The father smokes, chews, drinks, or
swears, and he is shocked" to find his
son following his example With quid,
a cigar, or a pipe in his mouth, he fogs
his son for swearing or for using tobacco
Children not only inherit the physical
and mental peculiarities or tendencies of
their parents-of one or of both-but also
a disposition to initiate their example.
The little girl plays mother with her
doll baby; the little boy puts on his
fathers hat and boots, and plays ride
horse" astride the broom-handle. The
father exhibits affection by kissing and
caressing-the boy initiates him. 1mita-
ton is large in children, and hence they
are "apt scholars" in whatever they may
see, be it good or be it bad. What pa
rents may wish their children to become,
that they themselves must be. So of the
preacher-his flock will follow his lead
not always his adUiee. If an employer
would have his work go on properly-al
hands promptly at their posts, he must
not himself loiter or be in the drag.
They will watch him, and, as rule, do
as he does.

human nature, and expressed many

Where is Home?
BY MARY E GILMER.

Where is home? you ask, and I
Answer, where my dead ones lie;
Where vowed with bated breath,
At the altar, "True till DEATH"
There is home
Where the cedars crown the hills,
And the limpid, ripling rills
Murmur as they riTple on,
OF the days forever gone;
There is home!
Where magnolia odors float,
And the song-bird's wooinS note,
Borne upon the evening bl eeze,
Lingers in the dooryard trees;
There is home
Where, unknown, unthOught as well,
Years agone / said farewell
To that precious one who sleeps
Where the weeping willow weeps;
There is homei
Stay! no home have We, ah, no!
"Life is all fieeting show ~
But beyond that mystic sea,
Where the many mansions be,
There is home!
