Lampas, the bugbear of the groom,
is an imaginary disease. 1t has no ex-
istence, but every veterinary surgeon
stablemen have applied to him to burn
down the lampas. The affection is
supposed to consist of Inflammation,
which enlarges the bars of the palate
and causes them to descend little be-
low the upper incisor teeth. Now this
disposition of the palate is very COM
mon with young horses; it constitutes q
very beautifully development,
and enables the animal to gather the
grass; it acts, to a certain extent, as a
prehensile organ. The groom, when a
horse is off his feed, often looks into
the horses mouth (being unacquainted
with anatomy, sees the palate bars,
and, if well formed and prominent, fan
cies he detects disease, his favorite NAL
ady, lampas. This prominent develop
ment of the bars is usually more marked
in young than old horses, and among
those animals just taken up from grass,
and for the first time introduced to the
influences associated with an artificial
life, when the appetite, owing to the
loss of fresh air and change of food,
fails. Is it wonderful that such should
be the case, when succulent grass has
been changed for dry fodder, continu-
Gus exercise for imposed inactivity?
But, unfortunately, when such takes
place, the groom is impressed with the
notion that disease exists, and if he
opens the mouth is sure to find the Of
Tending agent in the palate. His mas
ter, who constantly knows little of
equine matters, receives with confidence
the statements of his coachman, and
leaves the treatment to his servant,
who Immediately suggests that the
lampas should be burnt out. The OPP
Grafton consists in burning with red
hot iron the beautiful and natural prom
inence of the palate, placed there for
the performance of an important func-
tion-namely, that of retaining the
food within the mouth during mastica-
ton, and which the operation ever
afterward during the animals life rem
ders imperative; and, moreover, very
frequently the bone itself is destroyed
by this barbarous instrument of torture
The disease "lampas'' never exists.
The horses molar teeth may require
attention, but not the incisors or their
surroundings, which are engaged in the
function of prehension, and not of mas
tication. If horse be ''off his feed"
in SO cases out of 100 systematic treat
ment is demanded, when the employ
ment of slight Alternative medicine, to-
gether with soft, easily-digestible food,
will effect cure, which the lampas-
burner would have prolonged by the

" Hamburg" Butler.

Serious charges against Gen. M. c.
Butler, who at present represents South
Carolina in the United States Senate,
were made and substantiated in the
suit of Lysander ID. Childs and John z.
Southern against w. 4. Everett and
others, the Judgment roll in which has
just been filed in the County Clerk office
in this city. From the facts it would
seem that Hamburg Massacre" But
Ter is as much an adept in selling his
influence where great public trusts are
involved as he was in the line of con-
duct which resulted in affixing to him
the pseudonym by which he is at pres
ent popularity known. The disreputa-
BILE conduct on the part of Butler is
evidenced by the most conclusive testi-
mony, namely: the testimony of his
own handwriting. Concisely summed
up, Buffers conduct was this: That
while delegate to the Taxpayers Con-
vention of the State of South Carolina
he made bargain with number of
persons engaged in a speculation in
South Carolina bonds, where he was to
use his influence as a member of the
convention to further the schemes of
the speculators; that, in consideration
for such conduct on his part, he was to
receive 10 per cent. of the profits which
should accrue to the speculation from
the action of the convention, and that
he really performed his share of the
bargain. The agreement was signed by
w. K. Everett, l.. ID. Childs, j. B.
Palmer and others.-N. Y. Times.

Scientific Farming.

No FARMER can prosecute his busi-
ness successfully on poor land, and
there is no necessity for doingit for any
great length of time. 1t is waste of
time and money, of energy, and of life
itself. 1t brings neither money to the
pocket nor Joy to the heart. Farming
is very hard life unless it brings pleas
ure, aside from profit. 1t is necessary
for the farmers enjoyment, as it is
for his pocket, that his land should
produce what it is capable of when well
fed and cultivated. And he can no
more afford to raise less than that than
he can afford to pay his hired man full
wages and require him to labor but a
part of the time. The interest on the
cost of his land is running, whether the
land yields much or nothing, and the
tax-gatherer must be satisfied though
the garners be empty. Cultivating a
farm without getting from it as large a
result-as the land is reasonably capable
of producing involves a useless loss
The difference between crop of eighty
and twenty bushels of corn to the acre
is the difference between success and
failure. The expense of cultivating the
larger crop is but little more than that
of the other, while the cost of produc-
ton of the smaller crop, compared with
the result, is very much greater. Here,
then, is the secret of the farmers sue
cess or failure. Large crops within a
small area should be his aim, and all
his energies should be given to its ac-
eomplishment. If he has not sufficient
manure to enrich twenty acres, let him
put what he has upon ten. If the sup
ply is insufficient for ten, then reduce

An old vinegar manufactures told
his secret, and this was the way he al
ways had a good stock on hand: The
vinegar barrel is kept rs full as posi-
BILE. Every week or two little cider
is poured in, which is so rapidly trans
formed into vinegar that the old stock
is not perceptibly weakened. The old
way was to use up all the vinegar
first, then resort to the barrel of old
cider, which very often would not be
vinegar but simply cider.
For Coloring Scarlet.-For one
pound of flannel, take one ounce OF
cream tartar, one ounce of pulverized
cochineal, two ounces of muriate of tin.
Use brass kettle or boiler. Put the
cream of tartar in with two pals OF
warm rain water; let it come to boil,
then stir in the cochineal. When well
mixed put in the muriate of tin. Dip

Not being able to prosecute the mem
bers of the Returning Board for throw
ing out returns where they were mani
festly fraudulent, the law making them
the absolute judges, they have now
turned upon them with the charge that
they have changed returns and indicted
them for forgery. There is little hope
that they can obtain fair trial in the
State courts, every official in which is
their bitter political enemy; but if they
are convicted they can take their case
to the Supreme Court, where they can
have fair hearing. Considering the
source of the prosecution and the mo-
tives that inspire the bulldozing ele-
ment of the Louisiana Democracy, and
remembering their infamous record in
the past, having killed or driven from
the State all Republicans who had the
manliness to defend their political
rights and substantially disfranchised
the remainder, it is next to impossible
to conceive that this suit is not an effort
to wreck vengeance on the only victims

the area TO five. AZ al events, what
ever space he cultivates let him enrich
IL and raise maximum crop. vent
ure TO lay down this proposition as in
disputable: that there are farmers who
entertain the idea that they cannot afford
tobuy fertilizers, who waste enough each
year in unwise tillage to supply them
selves with them. I have seen such
cultivate large area of poor land at
an expense which would have enabled
them to fertilize and cultivate one-half
of such area so as to make it produce
as much as did the whole. And this
diminished area could not only have
been made To produce as much as twice
its extent in acres, but it would be left,
after the crop was removed, IN condi-
ton which, with proper rotation,
would cause it to increase and not dimin-
ish in its fertility. The amount annual
ly lost from too large farms, and the
cultivation of too great surface with
out remunerative returns, and the sale
of whatever is so produced from the
farms without any return to the soil Of
the elements removed by the crops, is
something alarming to contemplate.
Such q reckless system would impover-
ish any land, however productive in its
natural condition. And when | recon-
mend the purchase of natural fertilizers,
in order to insure large crops, it is not
with view of encouraging that system
of tillage which removes everything
from the farm which is produced upon
it. Nothing but truck farm, where
vegetables are raised for city consump-
ton, could warrant the expense of such
husbandry. - William Fullerton, in Our
