Handling Single Cattle,

Butchers in the rural district often have
occasion to take from herd one ortwo single
steers week. This they generally do by
tying them head and foot, and perhaps driv-
ing them in that unnatural position some
times several miles. The animal naturally
gets sulky, the rope having rubbed the skin
off his leg; he then stops, oyer-heated and eX-
hausted. He is then assaulted with clubs,
stones and chunks of the third command
ment, aud upon arriving at the slaughter
house is entirely unfit for human food. 9th
ers drive an old COW out to accompany the
one sold. This is useless, although better
than the first method. Now will suggest
one which is perfect success: Place a girt
tightly around the animal, Just back of the
shoulder; buckle hame-strap around the fet-
lock. with ring in it !; attach light rope to
the ring; pass it up to the brisket, through
the grit, then back. 1t should be twenty feet
long. When the animal starts, draw up on
the line, thus drawing his foot up against his
brisket. After making an effort on three legs
for short time, he will give up, when the
rope is loosened, giving him use of his foot,
and then he will generally quietly walk along,
saving good deal of time, trouble aud vexa-
ton, to say nothing of the humane treatment
of the animal.-County Gentleman.

SANFORD'S
RADICAL CURE
For CATARRH.

NSTAN T L relieves al d permanently cures
this loathsome disease in all its varying stages.
1t possesses the soothing and healing properties of
plants herbs and barks in their essential FORMS free
from every brous contamination, and in this respect
differs from every other known remedy In one short
year it has found its way from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast, and wherever known has become the
standard remedy for the treatment Of Catarrh. The
proprietors have been waited upon by gentlemen
national reputation who have been cured by this
remedy. and who have, at considerable expense and
personal trouble, spread the good news throughout
the circles in which they move. When you hear a
wealthy gentleman of intelligence and refinement
say 81 my life to Sanford's Radical Cure,' you
may feel assured that it is an article of great value
and worthy to be classed among the standard medi-
cal specifics of the day.

Eggs-HOw Increased.

If an increase of eggs be desired in the
poultry yard, before large sums of money are
expended in the purchase of everlasting lay
ers, we would recommend the system OF
keeping no hens after the first, or, at the
most, their second year. Early pullets give
the increase, and the only wonder is that the
people prisest as they do in keeping up hens
which lay one day and stop three, instead of
laying three days and stopping one. In some
parts of England it is the invariable rule to
keep the pullets only one year. Feeding. will
do great deal-a surprising work indeed-in
the production of eggs, but not when old
hens are concerned; they may put on fat,
but they cannot put down eggs. The tale is
told, their work is over; nothing remains to
be done with them but to give them smell
of the kitchen fire. and the sooner they get
that the better. Of course there are some
old favorites whose lives ought to be spared as
long as they can send forth their represen-
tatives. Judicious mating, by which we
mean the advantage of comparatively youth
full cockerel, may be the means of even ex-
hibition poultry making their appearance
from the eggs of the good old hen, and here
we have the exception to the rule upon
which we insist.-L0ndon Agricultural Ga

A Cure for DiDh1heria.

DR.. Cheney of Boston has lately discovered
that hyposulphate of soda is the specific
remedy against diphtheria-that so much
dreaded ailment, which of late years has car
ried off many valuable lives. He reports a
very large number of cases (15S within his
practice) saved by the use of this remedy.
The dose Of the hyposulphate il. from five to
fifteen grains or more in syrup, every two or
four hours, according to the age and circum-
stances. 1t can do no harm, but if too much
is given it will purge; as much as the patient
can bear without purging is a good rule in the
severe cases. The solution or mixture can
be used in doses of five drops to halfa drachm
in milk. The amount for thorough stimula-
ton is greater than can be taken in water.
The doctor usually gives it in such doses as
can be easily taken in milk, using milk be-
sides as food for small children. One fact,
however, needs to be borne in mind, namely,
the hyposulphate prevents the digestion of
milk, and it should not be given in less than
an hour after taking the medicine. They
may be used alternately, however, without
interference, in sufficiently frequent doses.

Lime and Salt,

Professor johnson recommends for fertlliz-
ing purposes to mix one bushel of salt and
two bushels of dry lime under cover, and al
low the mixture to decompose gradually,
thus forming chemical union. For this prir-
pose the mixture should be made six weeks
before use, or still better, two or three
months, the heap being turned over OCCASION
ally. This salt and lime mixture, when ap-
piled at the rate of twenty or thirty bushels
per acre, forms an excellent top-dressing for
many crops. 1t acts powerfully on the veg
etable matter of soils fifty-six bushels appli-
ed to turnips have produced aslarge crop as
barnyard manure. 1t is destructive to grubs
and insects in the soil. Like salt it attracts
moisture from the air, and is useful against
drought. Its decomposing power is remark
able, and is three or four bushels of it are
mixed with load of muck, the latter will be
thus thoroughly powdered.

The Milk Vein and the Secretion of Mill

The Milk Vein and the Secretion OF Milk
1t is generally understood that a COW with
large milk vein, will be found to be good
mixer. A common opinion is that this vein
is the organ which secretes the milk and pas
ses it to the udder. Such, however, is not
the fact. The milk is secreted from arterial
blood, the udder being the organ of secretion.
Again, it has been stated by what is gener-
ally conceded to be good authority that This
vein is the channel by which the blood re-
turns, and that its contents consist OF the ref
use of the secretions, or that portion not
taken up by the organs of the udder in the
secretion of the milk. Both of these opinions
are erroneous.
A good authority, Mr.. Youatt, says that
this vein is derived from numerous ramifca-
tons, from the walls of the chest as far back
as the sternum, and taking in some of the
lntercostals or those veins lying between the
ribs; and that, as 1t advances posteriorly
along the abdomen, it passes by the side of
the udder, and disgorges itself partly into the
inquinal vein, or vein of the groin. and part
ly into the sub clavian vein.
1t therefore belongs to the respiratory sys-
tenn more than any other; for it is the part of
the body in which the vein rises, and not
that to which it flows, that is drained. As it
travels along the abdomen it is supposed TO
receive some muscular and cutaneous mat
ter.
This so-called milk vein, therefore, does act
an important part in the production of milk,
since its connections with the organs of res
piration by draining these portions promptly
enables them to aerate and purify much
larger quantity of blood than would be done
il this vein were not ample; and, therefore,
the commonly received opinion that large
milk vein is sign of good mixer is true,
but not exactly the same way that the I'M
scientific mind would naturally infer Vest

How TO Fatteu a Horse.

To fatten horse that has fallen off in flesh
is some times tedious business-indeed,
the work of months. The following suggest
ions to accomplish it, however, though with
out paternity, look to us as wise and to the
purpose. Many good horses devour large
quantities ofgrain and hay, and continue thin
and poor; the food eaten is not properly as
simulated. If the usual food has been I'M
ground grain or hay, nothing but a change
will effect any desirable alteration in the ap-
pearance of the animal. In case oatmeal
cannot be obtained readily, mingle a bushel
of fax seed with bushel of barley, one of
oats and another Of Indian corn and let it be
ground into fine meal. This will be fair
proportion for all his feed. Or the meal, or
barley, oats and corn, in equal quantities,
may be produced and one-fourth part of oil
cake mingled on cut food. Feed two or three
quarts of this mixture two or three times
daily mingled with peck OF cut hay and
straw. If the horse will eat greediy, let the
quantity be gradually increased until he will
eat four or six quarts every feeding, three
times day. So long as the animal will eat
his allowance, the quantity may be increased
little every day. Avoid the practice of al
lowing horse to stand at a rack well filled
with hay. In order to fatten a horse run
down in fish, the groom should be very par
ticular to feed the animal no more than he
will eat up clean and lick his manger for
more.-GermGntOacn Telegraph.
