Il Strange Cattle Disease.

I have read with much interest
different articles in yonr department
and concluded to write you for in
formation concerning q disease which
has taken off many head OF cattle in
this part Of the country; the young
cattle from one to two years seems
to be the ones most liable to this
disease. do not know of any fall
grown to die with it. Some farmers
here call it the black leg, others
bloody murren. l think ifeitter that
it is the latter. Cattle are taken sud
denly with it and do not live but
about "a hours, and sometimes less.
The patients loose the use of their
limbs, cannot stand nor step, blood
turns to water or watery substance
which by bleeding will run slowly
out us blood will from healthy cattle
when bled. Pulses very low, can
hardly feel the heart beat 80 minutes
before death. I opened the last one
| lost, which was one year old; found
its heart very large us though the
pressure Of blood WAS greater than
IL health. The heart WAS completely
packed with Thick clo.ted blood.
Which was nearly blsck. After about
four hours when taken, you can, 10y
pressing :tlo''g the shoulder, feel
blubbers of air between the skin and
flesh; these blubhcrs thicken until
the patient dies. Ineser knew OF one
getting well after once taken with
lhis disease. 1t you and some OF
your read ders can give a remedy OH q

CURE FOR DIPTHERIA-When a
member of the family is attacked by
this fearful disease the best medical
aid should at once be summoned.
The danger is too great to allow this
advice to pass unheeded. Indeed,
even in apparently light cases that
appear to be progressing to a speedy
and favorable termination, the pa
tient often suddenly dies and what
are called the sequence of the disease

tissues of the body-frequently res
suit in death. or protracted disorder
and suffering. In some cases ply
sician may be 80 far away as to ren-
der his assistance practically impos-
slble. For such, we say there are
three principal remedies. The first
is the saturated solution of chlorate
of potash given in teaspoonful doses
every hour. The second is chlorine
water diluted with from two to four
times as much water. The third
remedy is sulphur. DR.. Field, OF
England, has obtained remarkable
cures with it. His prescrik ton is,
We believe, to mix teaspoontul of
the flour of sulphur in a wine-glass
of water, and give it as gargle. If
the patient is unable to gargle, blow
some of the dry -four through a quill
upon the diseased parts ofthe mouth
and throat; or burn some of the sui
phur on a live coal and let the pa
tient inhale it's fumes; or filling the
room with the fumes let them walk
about and inhale them. The patient
should always be kept warm, the
bowels open, and the system we'll
nourished with easily digested food.

THE SEEDING QUESTION,

DEAR RURAL.-I am pleased to see
once more in the columns of the
Farmer 4 department devoted to
agriculture and general farming.
This Northern Pacific country
requires certain methods of farming
different, perhaps, from that Of other
sections, and think if the farm de-
partment is maintained it will prove
Of incalculable benefit both to our
own farmers and the thousands
Of others who are contemplating
making their homes with us. It will
st once have a tendency to improve,
stimulate experiment on the part Of
the most intelligent, and promote
the adoption Of the best and most
profitable methods of farming with
special reference to climate, soil and
market, as we'll as to give to those
farmers who wish to make their homes
here the ve'y Information they seek.
We have many intelligent farmers
in and about the county, who, if they
would take an interest in this matter
and communicate any information
which they have acquired in pursuit
of any branch of farming, would
greatly add to it's value. Such farm
ers as Wiswell, Gardner. Ashburncr,
Paddock, Franks, Packard, Lane,
Kelley, Lyons, French, and u huns
dred others in various parts of the
country whose farms are evidences
OF their skill and knowledge could
just as well communicate their meth
ods and the results thereof to the
community.
Spring is close at hand and it will
be wise for every farmer to take ev-
cry precaution to insure a good crop
and the best way to do this is to
kao'v how. Now, MIR. Rural, Jr."
I would like to know the best meth.
ols OF putting in wheat, rye, oats,
corn and barley, and would be pleas
ed to hear from any farmer who has
had experience with any of these.
Respectfully, Hay Seed.
Rural is pleased to hear from HAY
Seed''-the ear>marks OF his commu-
nication has a familiar appearance.
He is one of the very best farmers in
Wadena county. There appears to
he diversity of opinion as to the
best method of putting in wheat.
Some think that upon our soil it
will do better to cover the seed deep
using the drill for that purpose, while
others, Mr.. Paddock being among
the number, advises very shallow
covering with the sccders.
In our experience barley and oats
should not be sown too early. These
crops will be injured by frosts when
wheat will not be effected. These
are timely topics to Which a full and
free discussion is invited.
The Northern Pacific farmer., 1880-03-04

Farmers should not buy pork that
is f;lttened in Iowa or Illinois. They
should have a clover field for them
to run in through the summer and
raise peas or corn or both to fatten
them in the fall. Pork raising would
be attended by much greater profit
than the raising of wheat.
