The Foot and Mouth Disease.

THE contagious and destructive disease
that has destroyed so many herds in En-
gland and on the Continent has again
reached these shores, and several cases of
what appears to be the genuine foot and
mouth disease have appeared in Indiana,
Kentucky and Missouri. If these cases
are correctly reported no time should be
lost in taking such preventive measures
as are possible to prevent it spreading.
Unfortunately, but little can be done, but
unquestionably no precaution should be
neglected Even in England, where the
small territory and uniform laws permit
almost perfect Governmental supervision,
it has been found impossible to establish
sufficiently rigid quarantine, and in our
own large area, under the many State
codes, we may not hope to do as well.
But we can do something and profit by
the experience of our English cousins.
The plague differs from those familiar to
American stock-raisers, poisonous secre-
tons being continually given off from
the head and feet and carried upon the
feet of animals to other places. Even
birds have been known to carry the con-
tagiOn from one herd to another. Mr..
Henry Reese, the distinguished veterina-
rian of England, gives the following adj
vice in case of an attack:
"The secretion of the nostrils and feet
of an animal affected with the disease is
h;O.I, ", ,fo +l,o+ &c
tity of it be rubbed on the nostrils Of a
sound animal the disease is communicated
in few hours. So if the instant symptoms
of the disease are observed, the affected
animal is isolated in some secure place and
kept we'll Uttered down with straw, and
the feet and nostrils are carefully cleaned
night and morning with d solution OF
carbolic acid-One part of acid to forty
parts of water-it will effectually destroy
all powers of infection and prevent the
spread of the disease"
A cooking mixture for the animals at
tackled is composed of half pound salts,
quarter ounce inter, quarter ounce gin
ger and three ounces gin in three pints OF
thin cruel for grown cattle-quarter OF
this dose to be given to sheppard the
nostrils to be cleansed three times a day
with warm water, and then to be washed
out, by means of a syringe, with a solu-
ton of carbolic acid-one large table
spoonful Of the acid to half pint OF
warm water-after which, the head of the
animal being raised, a tablespoonful OF
warm olive-oil may be poured into each
nostril. The feet, after being cleansed,
should also be washed with a stronger
solution of carbolic acid, say one pint of
acid to ten pints of water, and then
smeared with an ointment of one part of
tar to two of palm-oil. The animal, if
possible, should be fed on green food,
with fair allowance of grain, and drink
allowed only after each dressing.-N. T..

Potato Yeast Bread.

A LADY correspondent of the MGtnt
Farmer says that, aside from the advantage
of healthfulness, bread well made from
potato yeast will soon win converts to it
self because Of its superior lightness and
delicacy of flavor. No other wears so well.
1t can be served in the form of hot rolls
or biscuit, cold slices or toast, and in
every way it is delicious, but probably
not much more healthful when newly
baked than other hot bread AS an occa-
sional variety, rolls or biscuit, nicely pre-
pared with soda or milk risings, provided
the fermentation be arrested before it be-
come putrefaction, are in no way OBJ
jectionable, but rather heighten the flavor
of the next meal from yeast bread.
An excellent recipe for yeast is the fol-
lowing: Boil for about fifteen minutes in
a quart of water a handful of common
hops or square inch of pressed hops tied
in piece of muslin; peel and CRATE five
large or three Uery large potatoes; dis
solve in the boiling water one cup of
sugar and one-half cup of salt; add a pinch
of ginger remove the hops, add the
grated potatoes, stir the mixture till it
thickens, remove from the stove and when
milk-warm add one cup of good yeast; or,
if this cannot be obtained, a small yeast
cake dissolved in a cup OF water with flour
stirred in to make thin batter and al
lowed to rise till very light may be used
for the first brewing of potato yeast. 1t
should be covered very tight and set 10
rise in warm place. After fermentation
ceases it should be kept in cool place
in a covered jar of stone, glass, or earth
enware.
Many people boil and mash the potatoes
instead of grating them, but the yeast
sours sooner, and sour yeast will not make
good bread, even with the addition OF
soda to correct The accidity. The hops
can be omitted if desired, but they, as
well as the salt and ginger, help to pre-
serve the yeast, and small quantity I'M

pense altogether with that piece of fine ?.
you were con emplating. The worst of it
is, however, that people are generally
much more willing to dispense with nee
essaries that make no show rather than
with useless extravagances that afford an
opportunity for display which every one
sees through.
Before / conclude | must say one word
of warning in reference to small econo-
mics. We continually read in the news
papers of people who die in misery and
poverty, who have perhaps received help
from the parish; and after their death
money is found which they have hidden
in all sorts of odd hooks and corners.
With these unfortunates saving has be-
come mania, and of all manias | think
it is one of the most deplorable, for after
all money in itself is worth absolutely
nothing-it is only valuable for what it
can procure. If it will only bring com
forts and 1ecessaries for those we love
whilst we are able to work, and insure in
dependence for ourselves when we cannot
do so, it is worth small economies, fore
thought, hard work, energy, care and self
denial. But even gold is bought too dear
when the desire for it is allowed to over
power every other feeling.

they are properly taken care of. The I'M
proved breeds and their grades are no
better, if as good, than common stock,
under neglect and poor feeding. A CORE
spondent in an exchange says: Il have
made 1000 pounds of good butter in sea-
son from four COWS, and not one of them
was registered or had fashionable pedi-
gree, or was bought for price to exceed
fifty dollars - and adds: :" In my own ex-
perience, when l have bought cows of
stingy feeders, they have nearly doubled
their product, and that, too, without the
aid OF warm or steamed food" Such has
been the experience of not few. \ man
once Dragged that he HAD sold ust the poor
est cow IN his herd. She was small and
timid heifer, and was mastered by nearly
every other in an ill-kept herd that aver
aged little If any over 100 pounds to a
COW. That heifer now makes over 800
pounds year. A test of her milk, few
days ago, gave twenty-five and a half
ounces of butter from a days product
How could such man tell whether he
cheats another when he sells him a COW
or not? His g strong holt is in cheating
himself Vermont Farmer

parts no unpleasant favor to the bread.
White sugar keeps better thar brown. A
porcelain-llned kettle or brirbt tin ves.
sci should be used in making Yeast as
iron burns it dark. Care should he taken
not to allow the yeast to become vormor
than new milk while rising, as scaldino
DESTROYS its life. \ certain ineyperiencad
housekeeper l once knew actually kent
up her courage to brew yeast seven times
before she succeeded in making it rise all
because she set it in too warm s. Mace
She has never failed of having good Yeast
since, but is still rejoiced because of her
own perseverance, and grateful to her
neighbors for the loan of the requisite
seven cupfuls for brewing!
Good flour and good yeast at hand, the
bread may be made with warm water or
half new milk, using one-third of cup of
yeast to one pint of mixing" for each
loaf. Use flour enough to knead smooth
at night, place in a pan, cover, and set
where its temperature will be kept as
nearly equal as possible until morning
In cold weather the water should be a lit
tie more than milk-warm, but not hot
enough to scald the yeast. If perfectly
light and spongy the dough should be
kneaded thoroughly, chopped with
knife to increase its fneness of grain,
nodded into loaves and set to rise agar
before breakfast. At any rate it Shout
not be allowed to stand till bubbles rise
the surface, as then,the bread will cOnta
large air-holeS, with a chance Of u slig4
sour taste. The mass should be fine
grained and stringy when removed from
the pan for the second kneading. 1t can
not be kneaded too much; my greatest
trouble is that, with other work pressing,
it often cannot be kneaded enough. The
loaves should be allowed to stand in the
tins Tin cold weather near the tire) until
perfectly light, and baked from three
quarters of an hour to an hour. OF course
experience is needed in addition to minute
directions in order to attain perfect sue
cess, and that experience is certainly
worth striving after. In our own family,
during the heat of the past two months,
we have found our light bread and sweet
butter with fresh berries a far more salts
factory dessert than pie or pudding, ana
the little ones, as well as their elders, show
by their state of health the beneficial re-
suits of the change.

Husk the Corn Early.

IN many portions of the West, where
large quantities of corn are produced and
husked from the stalks as they stand in
the field, farmers are too much inclined to
put off the work. This is dangerous
experiment. The experience of the past
few months shows that in Minnesota, as
elsewhere, violent wind and rain storms
must be expected and guarded against
The days grow short, the weather cold, and
the work Of husking becomes slow and
tedious process. The stalks, also, are
very apt to become broken down by heavy
winds, and deep SHOWS cover ard bury
them up. Besides, penetrating rains
moisten the grain, rendering it liable to
mold. 1t is obvious, therefore, that de-
lays are dangerous in this important
work.
That the care Of corn when harvested is
an important matter many farmers have to
learn by dear experience. Care should be
taken not to make the pens too large. The
policy Of leaving the cribs unroofed is
suicidal. If farmers would stop to think
how much corn depreciates by exposure
both in weight and quality, they would
certainly afford it some kind of shelter
If it even becomes bleached the weight is
sadly diminished, and the shrinkage from
this alone, to say nothing of wastage, is
very noticeably greater than if properly
dried and placed in close bins.
Don't work hard all summer, farmers,
and then waste the product of your labors
through negligence. "a sixpence saved
is shilling earned applies in 1ull force

Good Care for Dairy Cows.

VERY few dairymen have any idea of
how greatly the yield of COWS may be in
creased by better feed and care. We
think it great folly for men, who are
making only 100 to 125 pounds Of butter
per COW, to try to increase their product
by the introduction of Ayrshire or Jersey
blood. There is no common herd selected
with the ordinary skill that every dairy
man should possess that will not give 80
pounds of butter and upward to COW, if

The CHRISTIAN INDEx.-We notice that
Rev. A. J. Battle, D. D., the distinguished
President of the Mercer University, has be-
gun series of deeply interesting articles in
The Christian Index, on "Human VIII"
DR.. Battle stands among the foremost repre-
sentatiyes of the Baptist denomination in
the South, in point of scholarship, worth
ard influence.
In addition to these valuable contributions
we take occasion to say, that The Index and
Baptist is, undoubtedly, the most prom inent
and influential religious family paper pub
liShlj in the South. Under the managing
editorsnip of Rev David E. Butler, assisted
by corps of frst-class editorial writers, and
enriched by contributions from the ablest
pens to be found among the Baptist denomi-
nation in Georgia, its worth and Influence
among BaptiSts cannot be overeStimated.
No Baptist in the State ought to be without
this sterling and infeXible organ and cham
pion of his faith.
But aside from its denominational value,
The Index commends itself TO every intelii-
gent reader as pre-. .emlnently worthy Of
patronage on account Of its value as family
and literaiy paper. It presents whatever is
worthy Of presentation in the affairs OF the
day, in pure, chaSte and condensed style. Its
comments are terSe, frank, unprejudlced !,
and always aim to elucldate the truth, and
advance the good.
It's literary tone is high; its ethics broad,
and thoroughly Christian. Every number
contains something of interest and value to
the matured man and woman, as well as to
the child Church. Sunday School, and
family interests receive due attention in its
columns, and all its departments are kept up
to the highest standard. ..
We urge upon our Baptist readers, as we'll
as upon those of other denominations, the
pleasure and benefit they will realize by be-
coming permanent readers of The Index.
They will receive a tenfold return for the
amount expended in subscription. Read The
Index advertisement in this number of our
paper.

The Weather.

We have no reliable record when
weather was first made. We don't
hear of Adam and Eve having had any
in Paradise except when Eve tried to
make fair weather with Adam, after
she had got him into that difficulty.
When this first Granger, however,
commenced farming operations, there
must have been~rain for his upland
corn apa~sis turnips. But whatever
nay have been the origin Of weather
and its Development through untold
ages, no such Christmas spell has been
experienced within the recollection of
the oldest inhabitant as surrounds US
now. The thermometer has been up
to 70 degrees for whole week, some
times as high as Il, and still no signs
of a change. The planets must be
conspiring to alter the we'll estab-
lished course of the times; astrono-
mers and weather-bureaus are at their
wits ends, the birds are puzzled in
their migrations, the buds are shaking
their prison bars, hog meat feels un-
easy, Thompson's Seasons must be re-
written, Miller's Almanac revised, and
the clothing stores will be forced to
sell at half price. WHAT'S to be done!
