Remedy for the Hog Cholera.

A writer in the Southern Cultirator relates the
following experience, which will be interesting
to our readers:
LAST year lost nearly all my hogs with hog
r cholera. NY neighbor lost none scarcely, which
led me to believe that he must possess a sover-
eign remedy for this evil ! asked him why he
lost no hogs. His reply was that 'he kept them
clear of worms, and stimulated them with black
pepper Said he, 4 first fed them on corn soak
ed in lye and cOpperas, to clear them of worms
afterward gave them plenty of black pepper.
Those that were sick got well, and those that
were well remained so, of course
''This year have given my hogs an OCCASION
al dose, twice a week, of kerosene OIL said to be
a preventive of cholera. Several of my neigh
bors lost nearly all their hogs, and six weeks
ago, mine showed signs of disease and cOnclud-
ed to try the 1ye and pepper l prepared it as
follows: First, shell an ear of corn and soak IN
strong I've all night; next morning add half
teaspOonful of pulverized copperas-mix and
feed in trough. This was repeated on the fol
lowing morning, and half teaspOonful of black
pepper was added. After this put a teaspoon
full of pulverZed pepper in the food, boiled grits
every morning for a week.
"Result-My hogs stopped dying, all that ate
got WELL and are as thrifty now as / could wish.
The above is the dose for single hog. 1t is
simple and reliable; as preventive il can't be
beat, and have seen hogs sick, very sick, too
restored to good health by the use of this REM
edy."

A lady writer, who is said to be remarkably
successful in her house plants in the Winter sea-
son, thus gives to the public two points in their
management: Every gardener and florist knows
the value of what is called 'bottOm heat" A
warm atmosphere-especially if a dry one-is
often insufficient to bring about healthy growth
and is sometimes injurious. What is wanted
for many kinds of plants and flowers is moist
heat at the roots and fibers, where growth early
starts, and whence the stimulus is conveyed to
every other part of the plant. A thrifty growth
beneath the ground is sure to be followed by
frnits and flowers above. That is accomplished
by filling the saucers of her hower-pOts with
hot water. This is, of course, absorbed and
carried up to the roots and fbers, giving the re-
quired bottom heat. Unthrifty plants, in addi-
ton to this, should be placed on the mantel-
piece, over the kitchen range, and kept, of
course, well watered. This arrangement sup
plies heat where it is most wanted-at the roots
and the benefit is marked. In warm rooms
the temperature is at the top, and the coolest
near the floor where the pots are. This reverses
the proper order, giving the roots of the plant
the coolest place. Another important matter in
house plants is to give them the morning sun.
Windows where flowers are kept should, there
fore, face the east. The reasons are not known,
perhaps, but the fact is patent to all whose bus
mess it is to deyelOpe healthy growth in plants
and flowers, that an hour of morning sun is
worth three hours of the afternoon sun.

Diph,heria lin the Thuab..

The Jersey City Journal says: Among the va
rious freaks of that terrible disease diphtheria,
which has made such ravages among children in
this city within the past few months. is one late
" developed in the case of little daughter of
Mr. James Scull, of West Side Avenue The
child is about years of age, and was taken sick
with diphtheria about five weeks ago. A day or
two previous TO the attack she had broke the
skin on the back of both her thumbs. DIR.
E. W. Pyle. the attending physician. found the
child had all the symptoms of diphtheria, with
the exception of the formation of membrane in
the throat. But this membrane was formed on
the back of each thumb over the places where
the skin had been abraded. The doctor, becOm =
ing interested in this strange freak of the dis
ease, removed the diseased membranes from the
thumbs, when Others Immediately succeeded in
the same place. He then examined the mem
brane as it appeared on the cbild's thumbs un-
der the microscope, and found it to be in every
particular like that which in this disease is usual
ly formed in the threat, or in some OF the air
passages. He took membrane from the throat
of another little daughter of Mr.. Scull, who vas
then sick, and has since died with diphthe ria,
and comparing il with that taken from her sis
ter's thumb, found them precisely alike. The
little girl who had been the subject of this sin
gular development, as the disease advanced from
one stage to another, still continued to show
symptoms of dphtheria, having paralysis q the
soft palate and lower extremities being unable
to either move speak for several days. She
at length began to grow convalescent, however,
and is now nearly recovered, being again able
to walk about and talk the same as before her
sickness, while the sores on the back of her
thumbs are entirely healed up. DIR. Pyle is of
the opinion that the course taken by the disease
in this case is strong argument in favor of the
opinion which many medical men hold that
diphtheria is not wholly, if it is indeed chiefly
a disease of the throat and organs of respiration
