BONE MLAL FOR SwISE.-The IHdiun0
Fnrmsr says that most farmers have noticed
that IN fattening swine, especially where they
are crowded rapidly, they always appear weak
in their hind legs and sometimes lose the use
of them entirely. An intelligent farmer says
that he and his neighbors have made practice
of feeding bone meal in such cases, and find
that small quantity mixed with the daily
feed will prevent any weakness, and strengthen
the animals so as to admit of most rapid fore
ing. As bone meal is known to be proven
tive of crippe-ald and weakness in cows, 1t
looks reasonable that it should also be a bene-
fit to hogs, which are often confined to a diet
containing but little or no bonemaking mate

\ veteran farmer told, few days ago of a
method of relieving IA choking COW which was
new to me, but which he said was untaiing.
1t is worthy Of trial at any rate. \ round
stick,::two orsthree inches long, is put into the
cows mouth, like a bit into IA horses mouth.
A string is then fastened to each end of the
stick and tied to the horns or up over the head
This forces her to keep her mouth open, and
allows the gas which forms in the stomach,
and is the cause Of the severe pain and rapid
swelling which accompanies choking in a COW,
to escape. The effort also of trying to rid the
mouth of its unusual incumbrance is the best
help towards freeing the passage Of the threat
If the trouble is not removed in this way, the
COW may be kept alive until help is obtained
for trying other measures for her relief In
such cases time is Of great importance He
says he has seen his plan tried IN many cases,
and in none had it failed of complete cure in
less than half an hourly. y. Her0ld

Stage station Raided BY Indians.

The startling news arrived by stage
from he east last evening that the sta &c
station at King Hill, seventy.five miles
out from here, was visited by band Of
about one hundred and City Indians on
Friday evening. 1t was near sundown,
and the hustler had his horses harness
ed waiting the arrival of the stage. He
saw the red devils coming two miles
away. and took his saddle horse and re
treated to bend in the creek, where he
concealed the animal and reached the
brow Of hi Oh hill commanding plain
view of the station. The Indians cut.
ted the house, broke and tore every
thing up. cut all the harness to pieces,
and finally left, taking eight stage horses
with them. and struck off towards Glenn's
terry on Snake river. They took the
clock ont and played foot ball with it.
They yelled ike Infatuated demons dur
ing this work. The hostler fortunately
had removed his family to a place of
safety the day previous. After the In.
dams left Packard (the hostler) awaited
the coming of the stage, and came on to
Cold Springs with it. There VS. a
guard of six or eight men wi h the stage
who escorted it through to Rattl snake
The Indians also stripped the freight
wagons of Peter Stewart, which were at
King Hid at the time of the raid. It
IS feared that terrible Jews will reach us
some time to-day. as there are many
families still out on Sake river and at
other points within easy reach of the In
dams. The Raft river settlements viii
no doubt be desolated. Hahoon, June
