two bushels of oats and bushel of peas
to the acre. 1t should be sown early,
and it may be cut in June, for soiling
COWS and horses. Then, with good coat
of manure plowed in with the stubble,

adding one dram each of opium and
camphor Put these upon the gals and
bind with bandage. By constant pres

out of the stable, but should be put on
again as soon as he is returned Let this
treatment be kept up until a cure is eff
! fected ..
