The most common kind of collie in
horses is known rs wind collie. This ar.
rises from fermentation of the food in the
stomach, iastead of its healthy digestion
If II horse is brought in tired and is fed
Immediately and fills his stomach, there
may not be sufficient gastric juice 10 per-

ment. Soon the horse will bloat; the
breathing becomes hard with frothing 1T
the mouth. This may not be COMPOUNDED
with the hard breathing in lung fever,
since in the latter there is no bloating.
The passages of the stomach and bowels
become clogged with the masses of undi-
gosted food, the gas arising from the fer
mentation cannot pass out of the stomach,
which becomes dstended, and presses the
diaphragm forward so that the lungs cam
not expand, the breath becomes short and
the rapid breathing will shortly induce
frothing. If the trouble reaches this
stage the horse will rarely live more than
an hour In this disease time is of the
greatest value. AS soon us you see your
horse is bloating, give something to stop
the fermentation. For this ii heaping ia

Spirits of hartshorn in dose of half an
ounce very much diluted is also good. If

RENNETS, - In saving rennets people
have so many different ways-a few good
and great many bad-that thought it
might not be unwise to give my idea of
saving the same.
Let the calf suck the COW regularly un-
til it is at least five days old-a week is
still better. Let the calf suck the night
before killing, then remove it from the
COW and kill it the next day, about nine
or ten O'Clock A. NJ. killing too soon after
sucking the COW, leaves the rennet full of
curd which should not be saved, and us
the curd has taken up the gastric juice, it
weakens it. Keeping the calf too long
without milk, previous to killing is apt to
make The stomach feverish.
See that the calf bleeds well, as the rem
net will be dark and bloody if it does not
Keep it as clean as possible in taking it
out Turn it wrong side out and take IL
dry cloth and wipe off all dirt, and if any
curd is in it, throw it away. Never rinse
the rennet in water. Now sprinkle on IL
handful or two OF salt, turn back and salt
the outside, and place it on Il plate to dry
for few days.
Now take IL hoop or bow to stretch the
rennet. Take small willow stick Tor
any wood that will bend) about two and Il
half feet long; peel the bark off and bring
the ends together and fasten. Now draw
the rennet onto the hoop and fl5ten there
with pegs of wood. Hang it in Il place
where it will dry moderately-not where it
is hot. When thoroughly dry, put them in
paper sacks and tic up tight so that the
moths will not injure them. Look at them
occasionally to see that no moths disturb
them. Age improves them in strength,
and makes them milder.
You may, perhaps, think l am little
particular, but we are all looking about to
see how we can make the most money out
of our cheese. We can do this by making
IL cheese which will sell ut the top price.
and in order to do so we must have Il good
rennet, as great deal of cheese is injured
by poor and worthless rennets. If the
farmers could see the rennetS that come
into factory, they would think that this
question needed some discussion. Some
will come in all dirt and tainted; others
90 to the other extreme, and wash all the
strength out for fear it won't be clean,
while others fill them up with salt, which
is not desirable.-E. A. w. in Coul,tru

Dinah, the cat, had a cunning trick
That Betty, the cook had taught her;
She sat up straight like kangaroo,
And dropping her fore paws still and true,
She drank from a spoon The sweet milk new,
Or ate the meat that was brought her.
Dinah was such charming puss
No wonder that all must pether;
She was ready to froc in any stii,
She followed Betty with cOaXng purr,
And sat a.la.kangaroO to her
Whenever a want beset her.
Admitting Betty was very kind
But her patience was unstable;
She tired of dealing out titbits at last,
For eager pussy performed so fast,
She couldn't enjoy her own repast
AS she sat at the dinnel-tablc.
Then Betty thought of an old mans way
OF daubing the cat with butter
She said, " must match trick with trick;
Twill take her whole half hour to lick
The lucious flavor from nose and check
Where it seems to stick and smut her."
SO pussy sat with devoted air,
From which no clatter could win her;
She licked her paw, and she paved her face,
AS solemn as if she was saying grace;
And that is the way she kept her place

and we expect to give the remainder in
one or two more papers. These lectures
nrc the first thing of the kind in the state,
and are of great practical worth to the
farmers of the state, though but small
number attended them, and the class
was much smaller than it should have

pilates will show the lack of bone forming
material in the system, and will be more
hollow h )rned than those havinga pasture
rich in phosphates. In such cases nature
will endeavor TO supply the lack of phos-
pilates in the food by re-absorbing portions
of the lime from the more useless parts OF
the system, such as is the inner part Of
these bones of the horn.
The "Chocorua plague" or " cripple
ALL" which prevails in New Hampshire
near the foot of the White Mountains,
arises from this cause. While somwhat
| similar to the human disease known as
ricketts,, it differs from Ricketts, in this,
that the osseous or bony matter has be-
come more or less absorbed away from
the SYSTEM while in ricketts, it is not de-
posted at all. These bone troubles will
be found in localities lacking in phosphates
which will be indicated by the cattle seek
ing and chewing bones, and such cattle
turned into good clover pastures or fed
with bone meal will recover every time.
Matter in the horn has been considered
to be another unfailing symptom of " horn
all " in its worst type. This is the conse-
quence of u catarrhal trouble, effectng
the cavities in the head, and extending
sometimes up into the cavities of the horn
and il should be treated as catarrh.
We are told by the quacks, as curious
circumstance, that horn all commences at
the end of the tail When the skin be-
comes loose over the bone Of the tail, they
say the animal has, or will soon have,
horn all, the tail bone ends in cartilage
like the snapper on whip lash. If this
gets hurt and Inflammation takes place
absorption is likely to follow, and if there
is lack of phosphates in the food, it will
90 on till large amount of the bone of
the tail is taken up.
The professor related case, where he
was called to see sick COW, the local
cow-doctor had also been called, and they
arrived at the same time. They went to
the stable. Being nearly dark, there was
hardly light enough to sec the COW; but
the cow-doctor rushed in and seized her
tail, and after short examination said :;
Just rs l expected, "a very bad case of
horn ail," then going forward to feel
whether her horns were not cold, he found
she was mooley" having no horns y
But even this did not floor him, &" Well"
said he, "she would have had horn all, if
she had had any horns" The remedy for
the chocorua plague "and for all trou-
bles arising from deficiency of bone-mak-
ing material in the food, is to feed bone
meal. Wheat bran contains good deal
of the needed material; but bone meal is
better.
