To Cure Felon.-As soon as tht
parts begin to swell, wrap the part af
feoted with cloth thoroug hly saturated
with tincture of lobelia, and the felor
is dead.
-EiccOugh in children is immedi
ately stopped by giving them a lump
of sugar saturated with table vinegar
The same remedy was tried on adults
with similar instantaneous success.
If salt is added to meat in large
quantities, it prevents the appearance
of the red color, but if it is applied a
little at time, and the meat is after
wards smoked, good red is obtained.
To cure the scab or scurvy legs in
poultry take lard and kerosene oil,
equal parts, to which add sulphur suf-
ficient to make a paste; rub the legs
with this mixture till the scabs come
away, then smear with a little olive oil.
The mutton breeds are the South
downs, Leieesters, Shropshiredowns
and Cotswolds. AS to wool, the larger
breeds produce the long and middle
woods and the Merinos the fine wool.
The Merino is the most hardy.-WeSt-
e97s Rural.
To drive or use lame horse is not
likely to improve the case. Remove the
shoe and keep the foot enveloped in a
poultice made of equal parts of flax
seed meal and bran. When, after four
or five DAYS, the horse should still be
lame, fly blister may be applied be-
tween the fetlock joint and the hoof.-
Western Rural.
-Jackey Cakes. Six tablespoonfuls
of white Indian meal, pinch of salt, half
teacupful of milk; thoroughly scald
with boiling water, add milk, and drop
from tablespoon into boiling hot lard
or drippings in frying-pan or spider;
fry a dark brown on both sides. When
done open and insert a bit of butter and
then eat.
-Succotash. Put one pound of salt
pork in with three plnts of Lima beans,
and cook them together when almost
done put in one and a half dozen ears
sugar corn grated. A very few min
utes will suffice to cook the corn, as it
is almost the consistency of thick cream.
This, with a generous allowance of but
ter, pepper and salt is dish fit for the
gods.
Potato Salad. Take you potatoes,
not too large ones and boil them; pota-
toes that are mealy are not good; when
cold, cut in slices and pour the oil on
them, and let them stand awhile; slice
third Of an onion as fine as possible,
and mix with the potatoes; add vine
gar to taste; salt and pepper; the addi-
ton of Dutch herring makes her
ring salad.
Wagons or carts with broad tires
may be drawn over newly plowed land
without cutting in, and on muddy roads
they are pulled with greater ease than
narrow tires, because the soil is packed
down and not cut up. The popular
prejudice in favor of narrow tires is a
one, as it is impossible to keep
roads in repair where they are used.
They are also very hard on horses. If
you are about to purchase a cart think
of this and have it built with broad
tires.
Cold Slaugh gh.-Half pint cream or
rich milk, half pint good vinegar,
pepper, one small teacup sugar, three
eggs beaten very light, heaping tea
spoonful ground mustard, English,
one large slice butter melted, a
little pepper and salt; stir all these
things into the well beaten eggs; put
on the fire and stir constantly until the
cream thickens; will be thicker than
rich custard and as smooth; put into
cool place and pour over the shreds or
cut cabbage. This is the only slaugh
that is fit to eat. Sometimes a
little cold turkey or chicken cut up in
it improves it.
L. &. Heaps, an experienced hog
breeder, gives the american StOCkneG9o
the following practical suggestions for
successful hog raising: " Do not quit
raising and feeding hogs; take better
care of them; feed greater variety of
food; have better pastures; keep your
yards all cleaned up; tear down or else
clear out and thoroughly disinfect your
Did hog houses and sheds, for here is
where the hog cholera turks. Keep all
places whore your hogs sleep well dis
Infected and give them plenty of good,
pure, fresh water. Have agood, clean
place in which to feed. Do not feed in
he mud. Feed regularly. Do not
eed too much at a time, but feed often,
md make them eat it up clean. Salt
'our hogs often. Do not rely on any
patented hog cholera nostFums to save
