FOOT ROT IN CATTLE.

Simple foot rot in cattle and sheep Is a
simple Inflammation of the horn-the re-
suit of direct irritation. Wearing off the
sole to the quick from long journeys on
hard roads; curling in of over-grown
walls on the sole on soft, boggy pastures
wounds with sharp bodies like nails, glass,
&c, the accumulation and drying of clay
or mud between the claws; softening Of
the horn and irritation from standing on
hot reeking manure; irritation of the
skin around the corOnets by iced water.
&c, are named as causes. Symptoms
viii vary according to the form, but In
all there is lamenesS, often severe, the
sheep getting down on its knees to feed,
and an examination Of the foot shows the
injury. In the case of wounds with
nails, glass. &c, the heat Of the hooi
viii show the injured one, and a slight
pairing will detect the wound if not the
offending body.
Treatment:-In case Of a simple super
fetal rawuess between the claws, clean
the part and touch with a feather dipped
in mixture Of one part Of Sulphuric acid
and three or four parts of water; or the
surface may be smeared with tar and a
bandagc tied between the claws and
around the paSteru. In case Of the form
alton Of matter beneath the horn, the
foreign body, if any, should be removed,
the detached horn pared away until we
reach that which Is still connected with
the quick: the surrounding horn should
De pared down 70 a thin edge and the
sorc covered with tar, with a few drops
of sulphuric acid on the surface, the whole
being closely bound up in bandage. In
exceptional cases the severity of the IN
Illumination may demand "a poultice, over
the surface Of which weak solution OF
sugar of lead may be poured. One tar
dressing Is often enough. but the foot
should always be examined few days
after, and any hindrance to the healing
process removed. Bad cases with fungus
growthS must be treated like similar cases
in the horse. Sheep kept in low, soft
pastures should have the hoof shortened
by a knife or toe nippers at short inter
walls, 70 prevent injury to the sole.
Contagious foot rot presents symptoms
resembling those Of simple foot rot, but
usually begins at the coronet unless in the
case of pre-exiSting sores, and tends to
produce fungus growths Of the skin
around the margin Of the hoof and de-
generation of horn in some respects COM
parable 20 canker. Il is mainly to be
recognized by is spread in flock as
sequence to contact with diseased ami
mails, and without any sufficient cause in
their management or in the dampneSs Of
the locality. Treatment docs not differ
materially from that Of simple foot rot
except that a preference must be given 70
antiseptics in the selection of cauStic
dressings. Hydrochloric acid reduced
with thrice It's bulk Of water, chloride Of
zinc one drachm, water one pint. carbohc
acid, butter Of antimony, may be cited
as examples. Much more important,
however, IL Is 10 separate the sound from
the diseased and from contaminated pas
turcs and buildings, and 70 thoroughly
cleanse and disintect the latter before they

The wire with which Minnesota
farmers have lately bound their grain has
troubled the millers considerably. Part
icles Of it were apt to get into the wheat,
20 the injury Of the mill-stones and bolt
ing-cloths. They were also liable to
strike out sparks in grinding, which might
fire the flour dust and destroy the whole
mill. The evil had grown to be so Sc
rious that millers' conventions have con-
demned the wire for binding, and there
has even been talk of refusing to buy the
grain of farmers who use it, unless at a
lower price An ingenious miller has
finally put an end to the whole trouble by
a device he does not take the trouble to
patent. Gangs of horseshoe magnets are
placed on the spout through which the
wheat passes, which pick up even the
smallest particles of the wire.

SrEANNG HAY-FEEDTNG MEAI.-
"R. ), Cleveland, Ohio. After consid-
cradle Experimenting, the writer con
cludes that steaming any but coarse fod-
der for cattle does not pay for the trouble.
Many farmers Of our acquaintance came
TO the same decision, and gave up steam
ing. In feeding meal, We find that it is
beneficial and economical to grind the
grain as finely as practicable, and to feed
the meal with moistened cut hay. 1t is
digested more thoroughly, and none Is
then found to pass of with the dung
But we have found that a dry feed Of 3
quarts of meal at noon increases the milk.
Our practice with mich cows in winter,
is TO feed quarts Of mixed meal and
bran twice day, with wet cut hay OF
other fodder, and give quarts of dry
meal at noon.-F'rom Americm Agric,d-

NECK TWISTING IN CHURCHES.

There are practices tolerated in religious
congregations which Christians VIII, are
jealous of the honor of their Masters
house, should utterly condemn. Decorum
is the handmade of devotional feeling,
and for this reason a church should never
be disturbed by the slightest approach to
irreverence.
at Is part of my religion" said a pious
old lady, when asked why she went early
to church, at is q part of my religion not
to interrupt the religion of others"
And we believe if many congregation
made it a part of their religion not to twist
their necks out OF joint to witness the en-
trance Of every person who passed up the
aisle of the church, 1t would be better for
their necks aud their religion. A gross
abuse of religious decorum sometimes
needs a harsh remedy. We give that
adopted by Henry Clay Dean, who was at
one time the chaplain of Congress. The
auecdote is from a paper called the Pacific
Methodist.
Being worried one afternoon, by this
turning practice in his congregation, Mr..
Dean stopped i'm his sermon and said
"Now. you listen to me and I'll tell you
who the people are a each one of them
comes in"
He then went on with his discourse until
a gentleman entered, when he bawlcd out,
like an usher:
Deacon A. who keeps the shop
over the way"
He thcn went on with his sermon, when
presently another man passed up the aisle,
and he gave his name, residence and occu-
patton; 50 he continued for some time.
At length some one opened the door who
was unknown to Mr.. Dean when he ciicd
