About Sick Animals

Nearly all sick animals become so by I'm.
proper feeding in the first place. Nine cases
ont Of ten the digestion is wrong. Charcoal
is the mos, efficient and rapid corrective. 1t
will cure majority of cases if properly adj
ministered. An example Of its uses: The
hired man came in with the intelligence that
one OF the finest cows was very sick, and a
kind neighbor proposed the usual drugs and
poisons. The owner being i'll and unable to
examine the COW, concluded that trouble came
from over eating, and ordered teacupful of
pulverizeG charcoal to be given in water. 1t
was mixed, placed in a junk bottle, the head
turned upward and the water turned down
ward. In five minutes improvement was Wis
lble, and IN a few hours the animal was in
pasture quietly grazing.
Another instance of equal success occurred
with young heifer which had become bad
ly boated by eating green apples after hard
wind. The bloat was so severe that her sides
were almost as hard as O barrel, The old
remedy, saleratuS, was tried for correcting the
acidity. But the attempt to put it down al
ways caused coughing, and it did little good.
Half teacupful of fresh powdered charcoal
was given. In six hours al appearance of
the bloat had gone, and the helfer was well

FARM AND GARDEN.

There is no good reason why farmers and
their families should eat so much salt pork,
leaving all the fresh meat to the inhabitants
oil cities and villages, when the following
method Will keep meat fresh for weeks even
IN thewarmest weather. | have tried it for sew
eral years: AS soon as the animal heat is out
OF the meat, slice it up ready for cooking.
Prepare large jar by scalding it well with
hot salt water. Mix salt and pulverized salt
peter. Cover the bottom of the jar With a
sprinkle of salt and pepper. Put down a
layer of meat, sprinkle with salt and pepper
the same as if ii was just going to the table
and continue in this manner until the jar is
full. Fold cloth or towel aud wet in strong
salt and water in which a little of the salt
peter is dissolved. Press the cloth closely
over the meat and set it In cool place. Be
sure and press the cloth in tightly as each
layer is removed, and your meat will keep
for months. 1t is a good plan to let the meat
remain over night, after it is sliced, before
packing. Then drain OFT all the blood that
oozcs from it. 1t will he necessary to change
the cloth occasionally, or take it off aud wash
at first In cold water then scald IN saltwater,
as at first. In this way farmers can have
fresh meat all the year Eround. | have kept
beef that was killed the 10Th of February till
the 2lst of June. Then packed large jar
OF veal in the same way during the dog. days
and kept 1t SIX weeks. This recipe alone is
worth the price of any newspaper in the
land.-C0r. Iater-Ocean.
