Quinine.

The discovery of the medical proper
ties of cinchona bark is developed in
great obscurity. All that we know
about it for certain is this: Before the
year l63S-that iSstse ,seI-y 10 iSnrcrlca-
not even the Spaniards were acquainted
with the febrifuge qualities of Gin
chona bark; but in this year, or there
abouts, the Countess de Chinchon, the
wife of the Spanish Viceroy of Peru, was
cured of a violent intermittent fever by
drinking an infusion of the bark, and
this led to its introduction in Europe.
Were the natives themselves acquainted
with it? Humboldt answers the question
very positively in the negative, and
refers the discovery to the Jesuit mission
aries, who, being in the habit of tasting
the bark of every tree they hewed down,
at length discovered the precious febri-
tuge. Other authors of repute contend
that the virtues of cinchona bark were
known to the Indians long before the
advent of the Spaniards; but the question
again arises how they first became ac-
quainted with its properties. To &C
count for this, the ridiculous tale has
been invented that certain animals,
while laboring under fever, happened to
gnaw the bark of one of the cinchona
trees, and were cured forthwith. Far
more probable is it that some cinehona
tree having been laid PROSTATE by the
tempests in a pool of water, and the lat
ter becoming charged with the medical
principle, some person laboring under
fever drank of this water, was cured,
and published the result. But however
| this may be, it is certain that the remedy
first became popularized in Europe
though the agency of Count del Chin
chon, Viceroy of Peru, whose wife, as
we have said, was cured of intermittent
fever by its administration. The new
remedy however, was badly received in
France and Italy. The Faculty set their
faces against it. Physicians who dared
prescribe its use were prosecuted and it
was only the patronage OF Louis XIV.
which ultimately rendered it popular in
France. This monarch suffering from
intermittent fever, was cured by an En-
glish empiric named Talbot, by means
of secret remedy. This was no other
than cinchona bark. Louis XIV. pur-
chased the secret for the sum of As, 900
livres, and bestowed yearly a pension of
1900 livres on the Englishman, besides
giving him letters of nobility. Three
years subsequently the remedy was pub
lished. 1t was highly concentrated
vinous tincture of cinchona bark. Gin
chona trees grow in the densest forests
cot Peru. The task of discovering them,
removing their bark is troublesome, diff
cult, and dangerous. In these forests
there are no roads. Frighful precipies
intersect the path of the cascarillero, or
bark gatherer, across which it is difficult
to pass, even while unembarrassed by a
load. So soon as the treasure of bark
has been secured the difficulties and
dangers proportionately increase, so that
the comparatively low price at which
cinchona may be procured is in itself a
matter of surprise. Casselps New Popu-
Tar Educator.

A Hint to Butter-Makers.

1t has been found that the quicker
milk is cooled after milking, and while
yet quite warm, the faster the cream will
rise, and for the reason that, water being
better conductor of heat than oil and
expanding faster and more in proportion
to the amount of caloric received, and
shrinking in the same disproportien, it
thus follows that the lower we cool to a
certain point and the more dense wehave
the water, the butter globules remaining
nearly of the same density as at first, the
sooner they will rise to the surface. For
instance, we will take any amount of
milk as soon as milked, and after cool
ing it Immediately down to $50 turn it
into glass vessels eighteen or twenty
inches deep, and we will see by the re-
suits that the cream will all rise in from
three to four hours; and, further, the
quantity of cream thrown up will be
more than can be obtained by any other
method which have tried. And, again,
butter made from milk that is thoroughly
cooled Immediately after milking is of
far superior flavor to butter made in the
ordinary way.-Erchdnge.

WHETHER hogs require sulphur as an
essential to health or whether it is sought
by them as condiment, may not be dis,
covered. But one thing is true: they de-
YOUR it with greed whenever it is to be
found. 1t is for this purpose probably
that they will eat large quantities of soft
coal, which contains large amount of
sulphur. Perhaps this is the most eco.
nomical method of supplying hogs with
sulphur during winter, when they re-
quire a good deal of carbon. But in
summer it is best to feed it to them in
substances which contain less carbon, on
account of their producing less heat.
Mustard is one of the best things for this
purpose, and some of it should be sown
in every pasture into which hogs are
turned. If hogs are kept in, or are in
small yards, it is well to supply them
with wild mustard that grows in the
fields or highways, or to cultivate some
of the best varieties for them. They will
eat its leaves, its flowers, seeds and
stalks.-LOuiSiaHa Home JournaI.

Feeding Young Calves.

FRESH milk is the best food for the
young calf, and the most natural method
of taking it is for the calf to draw it
from the udder of its mother. But there
are many considerations that come in to
prevent this natural method among the
100000 dairymen of the United States.
THIS natural method is only practicable
among the breeders of the pure. blooded
and high-priced stock; and if such
breeder of high blood is located in a
dairying district, where milk is valuable,
it is quite Unnecessary that he should
feed new milk longer than two months
After that period the calf may be fed
upon the skim milk and linseed or flax
seed cruel, with an excellent chance of
growing prize animal. In two months
the calf will have made an excellent
start and be ready for the modified diet.
And if the calf is to be taught to drink,
it is better to do this when ten days or
two weeks old. 1t will learn easier at
that age than later, and the COW will give
more milk through the season than if
the calf is permitted to suck longer
The milk being fed warm from the
mother, the calf will make a growth not
perceptibly different from one that sucks
This blooded calf should have the free
run of a dry yard, with little hay or
grass to eat, that it may early develop
its first stomach and chew its cud. A
small field of grass IN summer is still
better. When the time comes for feed
ing skim milk, the ration may be made
about as nutritious as the new milk by
adding to it flaxseed Cruel, made by boil
ing pint of faXseed and pint of oil
meal in ten to twelve quarts of water
Mix this in equal parts with skim milk,
and feed blood-waIm. Let the calf have
its fill twice per day, at regular times,
until six months old. During this time
teach it to eat few oats, and in case of
tendency to scour, give, for meal or
two, in the milk, quart of coarse wheat
-four, sometimes called by farmers camel.
