A Cure for FEog Disease.

Mr.. S. L. Shaw, extensively engaged in
raising hogs in the West, in letter recently
published in the Altoona Tribune gives the
following information valuable to farmers;
"I would state that so far as my experience
and observation in hog raising goes not one
in ten of the hogs that die of "hog cholera
ever had such disease 1t is simply spe-
cies of quinsy which is caused by cold or
chills, and gradually extends to the lungs
and often terminates in kind of diarrhea.
If one of your physicians will open the throat
OF a diseased hog am satisfied he will find
this to be the case. If the farmer will mix
up the following dose and feed it to hogs,
scattered over stone-coal (bituninous) they
will chew it ana set it well in the mouth and
throat, and it will cure nine out of ten il
taken in time: One third spirits of turpcn-
tine; one third kerosene oil ; one third sweet
oil. If well along give dose Of boneset, IN
feed. feed well hogs the same, and also
copperas water in moderate quantities. If
you will add to the aboYe an equal proper
ton of fine spirits of ammonia it makes a
fine liniment for the throat. I have not
lost single hog in three year5-by using
the aboye-from this disease. 1t nearly al
ways begins with hacking kind of throat
cough. The old saying, IAN ounce of pre-
vention,' etc., is very appropriate here"

Cider Vinegar.

This is almost a necessity in housekeeping,
and is easily prepared. After cider is ter
minated draw it Off into a ieg, and take
strips of straw paper, dipped intoWest India
molasses or maple syrup; put them into the
keg of cider and set in warm place near a
stove or chimney, where it will not freeze,
and in few weeks you will have q sharp,
pure vinegar. If one needs it to use in a
shorter time, they can fill jug with cider
and turn into each gallon of cider a pint of
molasses and a cupful of lively yeast. Have
jug full of the liquid, let it stand uncorked
back of the cook stove, where it will keep
warm. 1t will commence fermenting in
twenty-tour hours, and will not take over a
week to make splendid sharp vinegar. 1t
must be drawn Off into another jug, leaving
the dregs, and kept in tight corked jug or
bottles, where it will not freeze. If one has
good cider there need be no trouble about
vinegar, as it can be made into sharp vine
gar in n short time by using a little labor
and taking care of it. Straw paper saturated
with molasses acts upon cider like mother,
and in few weeks has every appearance of
that article, only little frmer in consisten-
cy and rather thicker In texture.- Country
Gentleman.

Fixing Color in Cat,Ie.

Richardson, in his work on agriculture,
states that Coleombet, an intelligent French
farmer, set to work to build up a herd of
white Shorthorns, beginning by purchasing
III, entire English Herd Book, and every
volume of the French. Then, with the pa
tence of Benedictne Monk, he traced back
from generation to generation the accidents
of color in each family. With the know
ledge thus laboriously acquired he was able
to select his stock with such certainty that
most perfect success rewarded his toll. lie
has reared upwards of forty calves, each per-
fectly white, without a single hair OF
red or roam appearing in any ofthem to up
set his calculations and betray his hopes
In all cases they do not possess uniform ex,
cellenee of form, but now that he has color
he will next give attention to quality.

Can a sheen Rensonl

We think that A. II. Clark has the sheep
that stands No. as far as sagacity is con-
cerned. 1t is male, and during the sum
mer, has pastured with some calves in All
apple orchard adjoining the residence. There
were several trees in the orchard well loaded
with early fruit. The.trees were about six
inches in diameter. One evening Mr.. Clark
heard considerable noise in the orchard and,
upon investigation, found the sheep and
calves quietly eating apples under one ofthe
trees, In a few minutes all the apples were
eaten, when, to his SURPRISE, he saw the
sheep back Off several yards from the tree
and then butt it with all his force, bringing
down a quantity of fruit. This they pro-
ceeded to eat as before, and when the supply
gave out the sheep replenished it as before
This was continued at intervals until appe,
tite was appeased. So persistent was the
sheep in his novel mode of ftree-shaking that
Mr.. Clark was obliged to protect the trees
lest the continual brusing Of the bark should
cause permanent injury.-Groton (MK

FARMERS COLUMN.
what There is in wheat.

The wheat grain is fruit consisting of a
seed and its coverings. All the middle part
of the grain is occupied by large, thin cells,
full of powdery substance, which contains
all the starch ofthe wheat. Outside the cen.
trail starchy mass is a single row of squarish
cells filled with ycllowish material, very
rich in heterogeneous, that is, flesh forming
matter. Beyond this again there are six thin
coats of coverings, containing much mineral
matter, both of potash and phosphates. The
outermost coat is of but little value. The
mill products of these coverings of the seed
are peculiarly rich in nutriment, and fine
-four is robbed of large percentage Of valu-
able and nutritious food. Middlings not on
ly contain more fibrin and mineral matter
than fine flour, but also more fat The fbrous
matter. or outer coat which is indigestible,
forms one-sixth OF the bran, but not one
hun1redth Of the fine flour. Wheat contains
the greatest quantity of gluten and the small
est of starch rye, medium proportion Of
both, while in barley, oats and corn, the
largest proportion of starch and the smallest
of gluten are to be found. In practice 100
pounds of flour will make from 1873 to 1877
pounds of bread, good average being 1856
pounds; hence barrel of 1876 pounds should
yield 260 one pound loaves.-American MI

An old bachelor remarked on Christina:

most unnecessary to make any secret about

Mr.. George Campbell recommends the
following plan; "The better way with all
grapes, but especially with those not quite
hardy. isto prune in the autumn, as soon as
practicable after the fall OF the leaves. II
your vines are puned and trained upon the
renewal system, it will be a very small mat
ter to lay them on the ground aud give a
covering Of two or three inches of earth upon
the shortened canes, which is to be left on

the spring. Vines 50 treated, even to tn,
tenderest varieties, haYe never been injured
with me, when those not protected have
been so badly injured as to yield no frnit."

The West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana
elections for State officers and members Of
Congress will take place on Tuesday next
The Republicans ought to carry Ohio and
probably will, but they are not now claiming
the State by majority Of &c, 900, as they did
when Garfield was pitchforked into nomi-
nation at Chicago. If they come out of the
fight with any majority, no matter how small,
their leaders say they viii consider it a happy
delyerance. As regards Indiana. while th 9
most reliable Democrats in the State contin
ne to claim that they will carry it, due regard
must be had to the OmnipOtent power of
money, vast amount OF which has been
raised in New York aud Philadelphia from
Republican sources and will be cOrruptly
used in the most popuous districts of the
State during the present week. Having
stolen the Presidency in 1876, the game of
the Republicans is to buy it in 1880, and the
results of next Tuesday will to a certain ex =
tent determine whether or not the voters of
a state can be bought like sheep in the
shaullgS
