Strange Horse Epidemle.

A strange epidemic among horses
has made its appearance in some
parts of Scotland, and there are, it is
stated, more than five hundred horses
at the present moment suffering
from its effects in Edinburgh. The
disease commences with great weak,
ness and swelling of the eyes and
limbs, the left eye in the majority Of
cases being affected more than the
right, There is also frequently in
testinal disorders, and spots appear
on the tongue as though from blood
poisoning. The attack lasts on the
average from five to twelve days
Opinions appear todifIer as to wheth.
er it is infectious or not; at any rate,
it is spreading rapidly, and affects
horses Unfortunately in all classes
of stables. One case has occurred Of
COW suffering from it, and as the
animal was stalled beside n pony
which had also suffered IRON it, there
seems reason to fear that the disease
must be infectious. On the other
hand, instances are mentioned Of
horses escaping the disease altogeth.
Cr, although occupying stables where
several other horses were attacked
The dampnoss of tho atmosphere
which has lately prevailed is suppo-
sod to have originated the epidemic,
and indeed the abnormal state Of the
weather during this fall and winter
is quite sufficient to account for any
amount of sickness, not only in the
stable but also in the kennel.

be gathered before the end of July, if
convenient. Young or old plants
are good dried in theshade and kept
in clean paper bags. The medicine
must be continued from three to six
months, according to the nature Of
the disease. 1t is very good for the
blood vessels. 1t strengthens and
builds up the system, instead Of tax
ing away strength. 1t makes good
blood, and takes inflammation away
from the lungs. 1t is the wish of
the writer that every periodical
should publish this receipt for the
benefit of the human family. Lay
this up and keep it in the house
ready for use.

a Scrap Book.

Every farmer should keep book
in which to paste agricultural scraps.
Every one in reading paper, will
see a number Of things which he will
wish to remember. He will perhaps
see suggestions, the value of which
he will desire to test, or hints which
he will want to be governed by in
future operations. And yet, after
reading the paper, he will probably
never see it again. In such u case
all the valuable articles will be lost.
To prevent such loss every reader
should clip from the papers such ar
ticles as he desires to preserve and
remember, and paste them in scrap
book. Such book, at the end of n
year or two, will be interesting and
valuable.

Feed the Cows Well.

Hay alone, u..less cut before bios
soming, is insufficient feed for a COW
giving milk. Very little if any
profit will be derived from COWS thus
kept. They may thrive and seem to
be doing well, but the yield of milk
will not be sufficient to make their
keeping profitable. There is no an
imal on the farm which it pays so
well TO feed extra as it does to feed
the COW. Wheat bran, cotton seed
meal, and corn meal mixed together
and fed with a small quantity Of
roots or potatoes will make any COW
worth keeping, give profitable re-
turn of milk. Cabbages are cxcell-
ent for feeding to COWS and greatly
increases the flow Of milk, and they
are well worth the attention of farm
ers as a crop for this purpose. They
can be raised quite easily and to as
good advantage as beets or turnips.

If rats enter the cellar, little

to drive them away.
Lemons can be kept sweet anc

must DO changed as often as every
