The clog ChaIern.o

paper was read at the New York State Fair
by Dr. Bush, of Households discussing disease
among hogs, which had prevailed extensively
in ChemUng and other counties:
The symptoms at the commencement are loss
of appetite, dropping of the ears and tail. The
hog appears dumpish, generally seeks for water,
lies on his belly. The urine is scanty, high-col-
Ored, or bloody and acid, and in some instances
there is entire suppression of this excretion. The
bowels are sometimes loose; at other times con-
stipated. In some cases bleeding at the nose,
and this seems to mark very severe cases. The
hind legs appear weak or lame. The animal uses
them with difficulty; reels when he walks. The
pulse is very weak and the temperature high !;
the tongue and mouth dry. As death approach
es, the breathing is jerking and rapid, the pulse
is quicker and more feeble, and death seems to
take place from exhaustion. In only few in
stances did the hogs indicate severe suffering.
Treatment has been rather unsatisfactory. In
several severe cases, recovery has followed treat
ment, when pains have been taken to give medi-
cine promptly. Some got well without anything.
The remedies used were calculated to decrease
the violence of the circulation, render the blood
alkaline, act on the kidneys and other exereto-
ries, as well as to sustain the vital forces. Ep-
som salts nitrate of potash, digitalis, carbonate
of ammonia, Peruvian bark and gin, were the
medicines used. The first two given to the hogs
in their food, seemed to act as a preventive as
very few cases occurred after they were used
Prof Law, of Cornell University, said the dis
ease is an enteric or intestinal fever. He does
not believe in treating such fatal infectious dis
eases among animals of ordinary value, but he
thinks they should be stamped out" by killing
all attacked by them.-COHRiry Gentleman.

Rivals 20 Tice.

A botanst of Germany has observed that sever
nj plants may be used rs weather prophets. The
following are some of his observations: COnvol.
vulus arnensis, the common English blndweed,
and Angallis arvensis, the English pimpernel
spread their leaves at the end of wet weather,
while the different species of clover contract
them. Stellaria Media, the chickweed at nine
o'clock in the morning, if the weather is clear,
straightens its flowers, spreads it leaves, and
keeps awake until noon; il, however, there is
rain prospect, the plant droops, and the leaves
do not open. If they open a little, the coming
rain will be Of short duration. The same with
the Pimpanella saxafraga. Cslendula pluvialis
the margold, opens between and in the morn
ing, and generally keeps awake until four in the
afternoon. In such case the weather will be
steady; if, on the other hand it has not opened
by o'clock in the morning, you may look that
day for rain. Sonchus arvensis, and Olteraceous
the hOgthistles, indicate fine weather for to-mor-
row if the head of the blossom closes for the
night; rain, if it remains open. Again, rain is
certain if Harbisdis tronum, the bladder ketmi,
does not open its blossoms; if Carduus aculis,
the stemless thistle, closes; if clover, and most
allied kinds, drops Its leaves; also if Lampsaua
communis, the nipple wort, does not close its
blossoms for the night; if Darby verna, the whit
low grass, lets its leaves hang dropping; if Gall
lum verum swells and exhales strongly; also if
birch scent the air. Anemone ranOnculOides, the
crow-foot anemone, tells the coming rain by clos
ing its blossoms, while Anemone mentaisa carries
its flowers erect when the weather is fine, and
dropping when overcast.

A medical journal published in Cleveland ad.
dresses the following queer query to the profess
ion:
"QUERY-Has any physician ever seen OF
treated a bald-headed cOnsumptive"
We should say there must be, and that there
must have been, bald-headed consumptives; yet
the fact that doubt is thrown over the existence
of snch person by medical Journal would seem
TO show that they are not SO common as to be
within the knowledge of every physician. We
ourselves have not, of course seen many sufferers
from the malady in question as has come under
the observation of some doctors; but we cannot
at this moment think of any one of those we
have seen who was bald headed. Consumption
is disease that preys upon old people as well as
young and middle-aged people, and we suppose

regulate the growth of hair. If not, why mott

to considerable extent, (although in rather a
mild form,) we give the following, from the Cosn-
try Gentleman:
"When the epizoOtic prevailed so extensively
three years ago, we had full experience in the
benefit of palliative treatment, and none in any
other. As soon as the first horse in the neighbor-
hood was attacked, our working team, which
was busy fall blowing, was fed a peck each of
scalded bran, with a dOuble-handful of oil-meal
scalded with it, every day at night, as hot
as they would eat it. Although they were
attacked, the disease was so mild that, with the
exception of one day, they never ceased work,
and recovered in a few days. no other treatment
being given. The bran mashes were kept up I'M

Saving Seed Corn,

The experience of the past has taught farmer,
q lesson that they do not always heed-the i'm

its terminating qualities How few there are

Poor seed may terminate and grow under favor

growth in all conditions from the time it is
planted, the seed must be Of the best quality.
1t is dangerous experiment, in a season like
the present one, to leave seed corn to dry upon
the stalk after the blades have been bitten by
the ffosts. 1t can, in this case, neither grow nor
ripen, but must dry out. If the drying process
is not steady and rapid, the terminating quail

for seed. The finest, largest, and bestripened
ears should be selected, tied into pairs by few
husks left for the purpose, and hung in the sun
long enough to become dry, unless exp osed to a
sufficient degree of artificial heat This latter
plan would be q good one; an abundance of
smoke would form coating for the kernels, and
make them less susceptible to climatic influences.
If farmers will pursue this plan, they will be

beneath a horizontal surface, if they have the
angles of two sides to cling to. To prevent this,
