FooT- RoT.-When foot-rot has for some
weeks been neglected and the sheep contiD-
ue on soft ground, which favors the supera-
bundant growth of degenerate horn, it be-
comes confirmed and difficult of cure. The
secreting textures persist in pouring out
lymph and weak, faulty horn instead cf the
healthy foot. One of the chief difficulties
in the way of cure is to restore the secret
ing parts to their sound state. The first step
must, however, be with strong, sharp
knife, while the hoofs are soft, carefully to
cut away all loose unsound horn. Where the
hoof is extensively affected, this cannot be
done all at once two or three operations
will be necessary. Fungous, bad smelling
growths which appear in most troublesome
cases are got rid of by any strong astring-
ents. Butter of antimony is often used for
such purposes, and in cautious hands an
swers fairly. Some shepherds use it mixed
with about equal parts of impure carbolc
acid and diluted with two or three parts of
oil. In some districts copper sulphate oint-
ment, made in the proportion of one to four
of fatty matter, is in good repute, and is
improved by the addition of about one part
of the antiseptic deodorizing carbolic acid
Such treatment may be varied by dressings
of zinc chloride solution. 1t will always be
found that the successful treatment of foot
rot depends not so much on the particular
dressings employed as upon careful pairing
away of faulty horn, examining and doctor
ing the foot at intervals of two or three days,
avoiding strong caustics, and placing the
flock ON dry, firm ground. Among sheep
on arabic land foot-rOt is usually cured
quicker than in those on grass.

DoN'T Use THE HATCHET OR SAVIOR
all the blunders, says tie Gardeners MONTH";
iy, that the common farmer and some 9TH
ers make with their trees, none is SO COM
mon or hurtful, and which he is so long find
ing out, and which he might so certainly,
do away with, as the practice of cutting off
lower limbs. All over the country nothing
ID more common than to see mutilated trees
on almost every farm. Big limbs cut off
near the body of the tree, ard of course rot
ting it to the heart. This is great sin
against nature. The very limbs necessary
to protect the tree from the wind and sun,
and just where limbs are needed most, they
are cut ewaY. But the greatest injury is
the rotting that always takes place when
big limb is sawed off. Too big to heal over
it must rot and being kept moist by being
on the tree, is in the right condition to rot ;
and being on the body, the rotting goes to
the heart, and hurts the whole tree. 1t is
common all over the country to see large or
chards mutilated in this way. We often
see holes in the trees where squirrels and
even raccoons could crawl in. Perhaps the
only reason these trimmers would give ia
that the lower limbs were easiest got at, and
some would say they wanted to raise a crop
under the trees.

Agricultural.


Those who can grow ounces well, find
them one of the most profitable of all fruit
crops. Unfortunately those who can grow
them well, seem TO be the very great excep-
tions to the general rule. The agricultural
newspapers have, for several years past, told
us of one great fruit grower, near Dayton,
Ohio, who grows pears, apples, cherries,
strawberries, raspberries, and other things,
but none of them are so profitable as his
orchard of ounces How he grows them is
given with these accounts, but il is the rule
with most fruits that system of culture for
fruit trees that would be success in any of
the Western States, would be of no use at
all in the districts reached by our pen,
Every district of country has to find out for
itself the best system of culture. In the
management Of the ounce, there are three
things to contend with. 1t is liable to the
attacks of the ounce borcr, which enters
the stem near the ground, and unless kept out
1t is of no use to try to raise ounces. Then
the knot is very troublesome at times and
again, at times, species of red rust Injuries
the leaves, when the whole plant soon be-
comes stunted, and grows slow. Good,
rich soil and a sheltered place, seem to be
favorable to the ounce but one can scarce
ly tell in advance what is good ounce
soil. 1t would be well for all who have
fruit farms to try few ounce plants and
having found out for certain that they will
do well, more can be set out to any extent,
and to the great profit of the ner,-Aary-
land Farmer.

A CURE ron RHEUMATIsM.

Judging from his article in the Wiener
Medznische Presse, DIR. Franz Zeller Is an
enthusiast in the administration of caustic
ammonia in rheumatism For several years
he has been sufferer from severe muscular
rheumatism in the right shoulder he had
taken all the anti-rheumatic remedies, with
but little alienation, when he began to reason
that in rheumatism as in govt, there may be
uric acid diathesis i; he thought that liquor
ammoni@, on account of its rapid volatalza-
tions would be the remedy most readily alb
sorbed and the most prompt IN action.
In almost the same moment in which lie
took one drop diluted with water, he felt
complete relief from the pain, which had last
ed for ten hours he was now able to move
freely the arm which, an instant before, he
could scarcely bear to have touched. The
remedy, he claims, has proved positive cure
in all recent cases of muscular rheumatism
which have fallen under his observation he
cites numerous cases in which relief, as in
Simultaneous as his own, was experienced. He
also observed its effects in several cases of
acute articular rheumatism, in two OF which
sufiiced to subdue the pain and swelling with
: n, =, period of twenty four hours. In one case
of chronic rheumatism of finger joint, which
had lasted for over half year, the simple adj
minstration of the ammonia completely dis
PEELED the Inflammation and pain in the joint
within two days.
He then discusses the mode of action OF his
remedy. I" If we consider an excessive acid
ity as cause of the rheumatism, we can
scarcely claim in the cases in which one drop
will instantly relieve the pain in recent rheu-
matjsm, that one drop was sufficient to coun-
teract the effects of the excess of uric or lac
cording to Fuller Tactic acid.
Nothing remains therefore but for us to
seek for the source of rheumatism in NOR
bid nervous activity induced by disturbances
Of nutrition, and to believe that the acid acts
as a nervine directly upon the nerves."
After the cure of one attack of rheumatism,
our object should be to put the patient in such
condition as to prevent their recurrence
This, the writer thinks, can be done by build
ing up general system, and thus diminishing
the nervous excitability.
