A western exchange saws that

A western exchange says that raw
eggs, shells and all, is remedy for
scours in cattle. Pull out the tongue,
crack the egg, clap it on the root of the
tongue, and let 60. Two or three are
enough for young calf; from that up
to two dozen for a COW, 1t is tie best
cure for loss of cud. Keep calf dry,
feed regularly in time, quantity and
temperature; feed no uncooked corn
feed. and you will not be troubled with
scours.

If death should overtake you
Ere you hear my last God-speed,
And friends should all forsake you
In your darkest hour of need
You know I'll never chidc you,
All, will never blame
Though other tongues delide you.
I'll think kindly Of your name.
When friendly tears cease flowing
And your requiem has been said
And when the grass is growing
On your cold and silent bed;
When dearest friend forget you-
The ones you held most dear
Declare they never met you.
will shed for you one tear.
