EXCELLENT GLYCERGNE OINTMENT.-A very

apothecary or druggist: In two ounces of
Sweet Oil of Almonds, melt, by slow heat,
half an ounce of Spermacetti, and one
drachm of White Wax. Then add one
ounce Of good Glycerine, stirring until cold.
When cold, scent it by stirring in we'll a
little Oil of Roses. Keep in small lars or
small wide-necked bottles. In hot weather
keep closely corked, as it sometimes gets a
little rancid if long exposed to warmth.
Half or fourth of the above quantities may

by cold, wash them clean with soap and
rub them well with this glycerine ointment,
wiping it off enough to prevent soilins

BLANKETED CATTLE.-"J. E. s." These
cattle are descended from Dutch stock
imported into this country q long time ago.
Several names have been given to these
cattle as " Belted," " Sheetsd," Draped,"
etc, all founded upon the leading charac-
teristic, namely broad band or belt, of
white passing around the middle of the
body while all the rest is black. They are
excellent mixers and are found in consid.
cradle numbers in Orange county, N. z, q
noted dairy locality and when seen there
in herds, are marked features of the land
scape, which even the unooserving travel
Ter could not fail to notice and admire. In
Holland this peculiarly marked breed is
preserved with great care. An engraving Of
pair of these cattle was given on the first

BLOODY MILK.-"W. S. w." Kent Co.,
Md. The milk may be found mixed with
blood, without any distinct attack of
Garget. Garget consists Of Inflammation,
and congestion of the udder, or part of it
and is accompanied by constitutional dis
turbance, generally fever. But the milk
may be tinged with blood from other causes.
Violent jerking of the udder, by racing
about, blow, cold in the organ, or other
similar accidents may cause it, and with
some heavy milkers, which are subject to it
occasionally, the cause seems to be over
excitement of the secretory apparatus of the
udder. Generally cooling purgative, or
saline diuretic, (such, for instance. as 8 OF.
of Salts, or drains of Saltpetre), or both
together, with rest, and frequent careful,
and gentle milking, will effect cure, when
the latter is the case. For Garget, similar,
but more active treatment is needed

DAIRYMEN IN CLovER-No other class of

AN ACADEMY IN CARSON.

The great present need in Carson is larger
and more comprehensive facilities for our
boys and girls IN obtaining an education.
The theory of State University is that 1t
shall furnish these needed facilities. But this,
iamentably enough, is nothing but theory.
In practice the State University, kowsoever
good and capable its Principal, is nothing but
a superior school in and for the town of Elko.
Anybody with means enough to send his chill
dren to Elko to obtain an education would
use his means TO a better advantage by send
ing them to California. But Carson can, if
it will, maintain and support a frstrate acad-
envy 1t would be a most excellent invest
ment as We believe, if such of our citizers as
are able should contribute the money rcQui-
site to build the necessary buildings, employ
a competent Principal and equip the school as
high school needs to be equipped Already
much has been done i'll the direction Of good
school facilities in Washoe County. This,
however, mainly under the auspices of certain
sects What is needed here is an academy
conducted on business principles, entirely
free from sectarian influence and under charge
# a teacher who is at once a schula,, a dis
ciplinalian and a thorough master Of the art
Of impartng instruction. Our plan would be,
il the rough, to have an ample school house
of two stories, campus and home for the
Principal. With these conditions trstrate
man lard wife) could be obtained. provided
w" paid him an adequate salary. well fur
nished house and salary of twenty five hun
dred dollars per annum would give us the
very best ohtainahle talent from one of the
Universities Michigan or Ohio man
a Western man always preferable The Prin-
ciral Of this sort of a school might make as
many departments as he pleased-though two
ought to be the eXtent-a grammar school
down stairs, under tutor and Latin school
up stairs under the direct eye of the Principal.
Such school as this must he sustained by
the payment Of regular tuition fee--hgh.
doubtless. at first unit! the reputation Of the
school should be established less and more
liberal when scholars began to come in-as
they soon surely would do-from abroad. |
We wish that some man of enterprise might |
take hold of this and interest his fellow citi- !
z7ns therein. There is much in it of import
