A strong decoction of peach tree
leaves is reported to be specific for
chicken cholera; dose, one-half tea
spoonful.
Buckwheat is one of the most staple
articles of poultry food. It is very
fattening, an egg producer and very
much reiished by poultry. $685.
November returns shows that the
wheat yield this year will be $4,000,
600. bushels greater than it was last,
while the increase in the corn crop
reaches 2OO,O0O,000 greater.
Oats should be bruised for an old
horse, but not for a young one, be-
cause the former, through age and de-
fective teeth, can not chew then, prop
erly the young horse can do so, and
they are thus properly mixed with
saliva and tarned into wholesome
nutriment.
Good things to have handy where
there are horses: White lead, for
bruises or breaks in skin. saddle gals,
etc. Bathing whisky, with about two
ounceseof hartshorn and little cam
phor, for sprains, stiffness, etc. Leaf
lard, for cuts. Coal OIL applied to
slight sprain is also good.
Good carriage horses, for which
there is always demand, are produced
crossing staunch thoroughbreds upon
large, handsome, roomy mares. There
is money in this class of horses To
fill the requirements of usefulness the
morse must be of good temper, well
broken to work, sound and honest.
Fasten a short piece of a log chain
say five or six links-by means of 3
light strap to his leg, just above the
knee In the stable, of course), and
see how quick the paving horse will
leave off the habit. In most cases a
few days will be sufficient to effect a
cure. So says "a Tribune correspond
ent.
The farmer cultivates his farm in
summer, and it yields bountiful crop
OF grain. In winter he should improve
his leisure time in cultivating / his
mind, SO that it may yield bountiful
crop of thoughts. Neither the farm
nor mind will be productive without
cultivation Rank weeds will grow up
and smother all that is valuable.
In pruning trees all stems hal fan
inch or more in diameter should be
covered with some waterproof sub
stance like grating wax or shellac,
of the consistency of cream, The
bark and outer wood will thus be pre-
served, aud the wound will in a sea-
son Or SO be covered with new bark.
If this precaution be not taken the
end of the branch will decay from
exposure to wind, rain, heat and cold.

Ayers Ague Cure,

For Fever and Ague, intermittent Fever.
Ghlll b'ever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
oil the affections which arise from malari-
Gus, marsh, or miasnatic poisons.
This IS compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of ChiIls
ana Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
REMEDY the necessities of the people in mala-
noas districts demand. It's great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure Of ntermittents is, that it contains no UlIi-
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of qtIinism or ANY injurious effects,
and are rs healthy after using it as before. 1t
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment Of these distressing
disorders, and 50 unyaiying has been its success
that thas gained the reputation Of beinginra
liblc. Itcan, therefore, be safely recommended
as 4 sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Aguc of the West, and the ChiIIs and Fever OF
the South. II C0untcracts the masmatic poison
IN the blood, and frees the system from its infIu-
encc, SO that fever and aguc, shakes or chIIs,
once broken up by il, do not return until HE
disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation Of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
Rheumatism. Gout, Headache, Blindness,
Toothsche, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Splenic Affections, Mysteries, Pain

OIL inc otoTnacti, Ill OF winch become lHtermlt-
tent or periodical, have no specdicr remedy than
AYERS AGCE CURE, which cures tlcnr,aIl alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As
a preventive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
il stays the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp-
TOMS Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves OF the
protection this remedy affords
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity,
it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.

Measuring Hay.
MICHIGAN Farmer.

To find the number of. tons in
long or square stacks, the following
is the rule: Multiply the length in
yards by the width in yards, and
that by half the altitude in yards,
and divide the product BY 16. To
find the number of tons in circular
stacks: Multiply the square of the
circumference in yards by four times
the altitude in yards, and divide by
100. The quotient will be the
number of yards in the stack.
Then divide by Is to get the num-
Der of tons.

The Feeding Value of Potatoes.

Henry Stewart, of New York,
says it is pretty certain that pota>
toes are worth rs cents bushel to
feed to hogs, cows or horses. They
contain Is Or Is per cent. of starch
and some albuminoids; p pounds of
starch are worth l pound of fat or
oil for feeding. Potatoes are
cheaper for stock food at Is cents
a bushel than cotton seed meal is at
SIS ton. AS raw starch is only
partially digested in an ANIMALS
stomach, potatoes ought to be
cooked. If it will pay to cook any
thing it will pay to cook, potatoes.
