Removing Warts.

A correspondent askes the proper
means for removing warts, from
horses. If the warts be simply at
tached to the skin by a neck, they
may be removed by tying small
waxed cord Of saddler's thread pretty
tightly about the base of the wart.-
Thus in a short time they will drop
off. When the warts have broad
base, take a strong three-cornered
needle, threaded with two ligatures
of strong waxcd saddler's cord; pass
the needle through the base of the
middle of the wart, tie each thread
separately, forming the knot with
two turns for the first tie, and finish
in the ordinary manner. Cut the
ends pretty close, and in short time
the wart will drop away. Moistcn
the exposed surfaces with tincturc of
aloes and myrrh, until they heal
Should the surface ulceratc, sprinkle
with equal parts of blood root and
charcoal, pounded. Sometimes warts
are SO embedded in the skin, that
they cannot be eradicated by strang-
ulation. In this case they may be
burned out, by means of lunar cos
tic. Sometimes warts are the result
of dlsordered system. In this
case, proper constitutional remedies
must be used Western farm Jour

To Preserve Eggs.

The simplest and most effective
way, and, indeed, the most economi.
cal, to preserve eggs without impart-
ing any foreign flavor, or rendering
them unfit for Matching, the Plough
man says, is to use the patent stop
per glass jar, with vulcanized India
rubber joints to make it perfectly
tight, like the jars for preserving
fruits. AS soon as the eggs are col
lected, put the jar into hot water, and
when thoroughly warm, so as to rare
fly the air, put the eggs in the jar, the
pointed end upwards, and pack them
with paper, or something to prevent
them from breaking, then close the
jar before taking it out of the water.
If the work is skillfully done and the
jar is tight, the eggs will keep for
many months and oe as fit for the
breakfast table as the day they were
laid. 1t is said they will be fit for
Matching, also, a year after they are
so packed, but never having tried
them for that, we cannot affirm it
from actual experiment
A correspondent Of the Country
Gentleman says: My plan is to take
fresh eggs when they are plenty and
cheap, and coat them with lard, or
any other clean grease. | prefer lard.

Called Shoulders and Back.

During the hard work of seed
time, farm horses are, some seasons
more than others-ln wet and warm
seasons-subject to CALLED shoulders
and back, which, if not attended to,
are apt to produce troublesome sores.
The skin is not only abraded by the
collar and saddle, but irritated and
inflamed; and if the irritation is kept
up, an ichorous discharge takes place,
which is difficult to heal without Civ
ing the horse rest. When q saddle
gall is observed, the harness should
be looked to, and the pressing points
which have caused the sore should be
removed. A lotion should then be
used to annoint the bruised parts every
night, after they have been washed
with warm soapsuds, and dried with
a soft cloth. The following is use
ful application: Take hot lime shells
of the bulk of two quarts, and pour
upon them two quarts of warm water;
and after they have intimately com
bincd, pour off the liquid INTO a dish.
Add to this liquid two wineglassfuls
of linSced oil, and two ounces of fine
powdered sugar Of lead, dissolved IN
a little water. Stir them together,
and then bottle and cork up for use.
After the bruises have been washed
in the evening, annoint them with this
liquid with a feather until the wounds
heal.

THE HIGHWAY COW.
BY EUGENE J. HAYS.

The hue OF her hide was dusky brown,
Her body was lean and her neck was slim,
One horn turned up and the other down,
She was keen of vision and long of limb;
With a Roman nose and short stump TAIL
And ribs like the hoops on home made pail.
Many a mark did her body bear;
She had been target for all things known
On many scarthe dusky hair
Would grow no more where it once had grown
Many passionate, parting shot
Had left upon her lasting spot.
Many and many well aimed stone,
Many brckbat of goodly size,
And many a cudgel, swiftly thrown,
Had brought the tears to her bovine eyes;
Or had bounded off from her bony back,
With noise like the sound of rifle crack.
Many day had she passed in the pound,
For helping herself to her neighbours corn;
Many a cowardly cur and hound
Had been transfxed on her crumped horn;
Many teapot and old tin pail
Had the farmer boys tied to her time worn tail
Old Deacon Gray was pious man,
Though sometimes tempted to be profanc,
When many weary mile he ran
To drive her out of his growing grain.
Sharp We're the pranks she used TO play
To get her fill and to get away.
She knew when the Deacon went to town;
He never passed her without frown
And an evil CLEAN in each angry eye;
He would crack his whip in a surly way,
And drive along in his ''one-h shay"
Then at his homestead she loved to call,
Lifting his bars with her crumpled horn;
Nimbly scaling his garden wall,
. Helping herself to his standing corn
Eating his cabbages one by one,
Hurrying home when her work was done.
Often the Deacon homeward came,
Humming hymn from the house of prayer,
His hopeful heart in tranquil frame,
His home as calm as the evening air;
His forehead smooth as as a well-worn plow,
To find in his garden that highway cow.
His human passions were quick to rise,
And stridng forth with savage cry,
With fury blazing from both his eyes,
As lightnings flash from a summer sky.
Redder and redder his face would grow,
And after the creature he would go.
Over the garden, round and round,
Breaking his pear and apple trees;
Trampng his melons into the ground
Overturnng his hives of bees
Leaving him angry and badly stung.
Wishing the old cows neck was wrung,
The moses grew on the garden wall:
The years went by with their work and play;
The boys Of the village grew strong and tall;
And the gray haired farmers passed away;
One by one, as the red leaves fall,
But the highway COW outlived them all.
All earthly creatures must have their day,
And some must have their months and years.
Some in dying will long delay:
There is climax to all careers;
And the highway COW at last was slain,
In running a race with railway train.
All into pieces at once she went.
just like the savings banks when they fail;
Out of the world she was swiftly sent;
Little was left but her old stump tail.
The farmers cornfields and gardens now
Are haunted by the highway cow

Paralysis In Swine.

Several of my hogs have what is popu
larly called Kidney worms, shown by
dragging the hinder parts. What can do
for it? L. LEWIS.
Genoa Bluffs, Iowa.
The affection you refer to is paraly-
sis, and from this form swine seldom
recover. We have known of hogs
tree ted with internal remedies, among
these arsenic, with view to destroy
ing worms supposed to be in the kid
neys, but we know of no case of cure
effected in this way. This form of
paralysis in the hog is believed by
some to arise from the presence in
the spinal cord of that minute insect,
cysticerce cellulose, which sometimes
infests the hog. What may be the
real cause of ailmcnt in your hogs is
in doubt. We cannot give encour-
agement as to treatment or recovery.

Making Hay in Norway.

OF this correspondent of the
Practical Farmer thus writes: The
way they make hay in Norway will
be new to your farmer readers. The
grass is hung on poles to dry, and l
have never seen such bright-colored
hay in my life. 1t is almost as bright
a green as when growing. In some
fields you see strings of fences, a few
rods long, which begin and end no
where. These lines of fence are
about as wide apart as a New Eng
land farmer makes his winrow. On
these fences the grass is hung until
the wind and sun can cure it. The
sun does not burn it. Thatsls one
way, and perhaps the most common.
The other way is to plant posts in
the field, twelve feet or SO apart, and
in these posts insert pegs about one
foot asundcr. On these pegs poles
are laid and on them the grass is
hung, just as we used to dry paper at
the mills down East, forty years ago.
The result is, hay that any farmer
would be proud of.

Tho Increased Interest in Pure
ShOrt-Horns.

Notwithstanding the constant NUT
terngs of the croakers, the interest
in developing Short-horn cattle, and
the demand for the purest strains Of
blood are steadily on the increase
Prices are perhaps better than ever
before known both in England and
America, and this too when the cry
of "hard tines is rung all over both
countries. Public sales are multiply
ing, and at many of them that have
already transpired in the West this
season, high grades and unfashion-
able pedigrees have found buyers
among the large class of beef pro-
ducers at advanced figures. And as
the farmer buying this stock, and
crossing it upon the native, increases
the value of his herd for beef fifty
per cent, his neighbor, who has ad-
hered to the scrubs of by-gone days,
is convinced that improved stock
pays, he too becomes interested and
engages in the same field, so the good
work goes on, cheaper and better
beef is produced, and the wealth of
the nation is increased. In the mean
time, to keep up high grade stock, q
greater demand is made upon purer
and better animals to breed from, so
the owner and breeder of this class,
receives more orders, and he in turn
is stimulated to greater efforts to
secure the purest in blood and best
in quality to be had. This furnishes
the solution to the very high prices
and increasing demand for what are
termed fashionable cattle. And why,
it may be asked, are they termed
fashionable? Simple because the
most experienced, wisest and success
full breeders, have preferred them for
their purity of blood (as they trace
back through constantly improving
sires and dams for more than a cen
tury) and also for their symmetrical
and beautiful forms, and their family
type has become so fixed and desira-
bic as to prevent any out-cropplng in
their offspring of the scrubby pro-
clivities of less noted families. We
find from glancing over saloe this
spring, both private and public, a
slightly feverish tendency IN prices
of certain families, going above any
prices ever paid for this class, and
again some selling little lower than
last year, but numbers of buyers are
increasing, the class of cattle is i'm
proving, and if the speculative tenden-
cies of some should be slightly curb
ed and their attention turned more to
legitimate breeding and rearing cat.
tie, the future of this interest would
be brighter even than now. Traders,
who buy at one sale to sell at the
next, greatly retard Short-horn de.
velopment, for they nurse and PAM
per their cattle until many become
doubtful breeders, if not absolutely
barren. But these evils will, we
hope, soon correct themselves, and
ere many years the rich grasses of
the land will be converted into choice
Short-horn beet to supply the markets
of the world with cheap and delicious
food.-K. s. Record.

Suitable working clothes that are
cheap and convenient are now made
SO that they can be sent by mail to
those who do not know how to or
cannot make them. A close fitting
suit that can be washed is far the
best to wear, and wooden under
clothes should always be worn in the
day, and removed and aired at night.
A dry, wcll-alred night-dress should
always be worn; it is clearly and
healthful, and the sleep is more easy
and refreshing for it. If there are
more things to wash, they are easier
washed, and the work is actually
lighter than when the clothing is
badly soiled.

A Now Enemy to the Corn.

The Reading PENN Times says:
A new enemy to the growing crop of
corn has been discovered this season,
which is committing considerable
destruction in some sections of the
county. 1t is peculiar black worm
which can scarcely be crushed on the
loose earth, as it is encased in suit
of armor difficult to break. They
operate in the corn hills by eating
off the young plants. AS many as
ten or twelve worms are sometimes
found in one hill. The cut-worm has
hitherto been great annoyance, but
this new pest is said to be even more
destructive. In some townships far
mers arc busy replanting corn fields
that have been thus devastated
Paris green has been found to be as
etlicacious in extermlnating these
worms as it is in destroying the pota-
to bug. Powdered white hellcbore
is also said to be very efiicacious.
