Cure for Foot Rot in Neat Cattle.

A neighbor recently applied TO US
for a cure for an obstinate case Of
footrot in a valuable COW. We rec
ommended substantially the treat
ment given in the following paragraph
which we have since found in the
Philadelphia Record. The difference
was simply the addition Of little
carbolic acid TO the warm tar. It's
quite as good for foot-rot in sheep as
in cattle, as we know e,sperimentally:
There are many sores on cattle which
il kept constantly washed clean with
cold water and kept free from dirt would
heal OF themselves. 4 very careful
herdsman says his practice in curing
hoof rot il TO thoroughly cleanse the
affected parts with warm water and
soap, and then apply warm tar between
the Gooi In very bad cases there will
be a large core u come out remove 1t
carefully with the thumb and finger,
cleanse the cavity as above with soap
and water, and then fll 1t with warm
tar. Keep the parts thoroughly cover.
ed with tar, even II IL j. necessary 70
use n bandsge. Keep the animal in a
clean. dry pasture. Its no more liable
TO affect the whole system than any
other ulcer. When once cured there Is
no danger OF its appearing again unless
from the same cause.

The Premiums Not the Object.

We seriously question whether all
the money now in premiums at the
fairs would pay the actual expenses
of those who win it. 1t requires a
good deal of trouble and some ex-
pense TO properly prepare articles for
exhibition, take them to the crowds,
care for them while there, and get
them home again. II is evidently
not the money value of the primiums
which prompts exhibitors. In speak
ing of this matter one of our contem-
porsries aptly says:
"lt is not the cup won at n boat. race,
that inc,es young men TO do so much
labor, spend so much time and money,
and exercise so much self denial while
training, but its possession is the sign
OF victory"
And so of the prizes now at our
fairs. They are signs of victory in
one of the laudable contests in which
men engage, and fheir possession is a
great stimulant to increased effort 70
take rank among the leaders In our
most important work. But n word to
those who are not winners, "Try, try
again." Ifyou have learned how and
why your neighbor has succeeded In
out-doing you, you have learned how
TO make your farming more success
fal in the future, and thus you are re-
paid for your trouble and expense.
Besides we are naturally dependant
upon each other for our knowledge,
and each must contribute to the COM
mon fund and although you may
have failed in carrying home prize,
you have done your share towards
making the fair = sort Of practical far
mars school, and we have no Doubt

In this connection we quote the fol

"Object teaching is one ofthe best me.
thods of imparting instruction and OBJ.
ject lessons are among the easiest OF all
lessons to learn. And at the fair object
lessons abound. The most profitable
breed OF animals, the best labor saving

THE large eating capacity Of 4
good dairy COW is proyerbial, which
will be easily understood If we make
a cursory examination Of her produc-
tion. Suppose a COW weighing 900
pounds yields G000 pounds OF milk
in nine months; this milk would con-
tain 7s9 pounds Of dry matter, count
ing it 81 per cent. water. Here she
yields q times her own weight in
milk, while the dry substance in the
milk is twice that in her own body.
The COW is the most remarkable food
producer among animals. She pro-
duces twice as much food in her milk
as does the beef animal Of the same
weight in its gain in flesh during the
same time.

THERE are a great many farms and

TOBACCO prices are "booming" with
a vengeance. The terrible drouth has
cut the aggregate of the growing crop
down to n fraction Of last years pro-
duct, and as n consequence, buyers
are on the alert, and are willing to
take almost any thing in the 0hSpe of
tobacco, and almost at the growers
own price. The fortunate few who
are so happily circumstanccd as
to have good crops this year, are
very fortunate. "Twenty.ive cents
through seems to be a common price
in Lancaster county, while thirty
cents through is often paid, and the

Fiiian Cure for Leprosy.

The Sinu gaga (Excecaria Agallocha> Sinu
damu heucesmia Burnettiana) and the Sinu
mataivi (Wikstremia Indica) of Fiji all
literal plants. The Sinu gaga, or Poison Sinu, is
found in mangrove swamps, or in dry ground Just
above high water mark 1t is sixty feet high, has
glossy foliage, oblong leaves and minute green
flowers arranged in catkens. When the tree is
wounded, abundance of white milky juice flows
out. This juice causes a burning effect on coming
in contact with the skin. Some natives however,
can handle it with perfect impunity. None
those who have been sufferers from the effects OF
these poisons can form any conception OF the
agonies endured and the courage displayed by
any Fijan who voluntarily submits himself to
being cured of Leprosy by the smoke of the Sinu
Of Oft the O process in 'The Wesleyan Missionary
Notices. Sydney, 1853, p. LOT. Mr.. Moore knew a
young Fijian, Wiliami Lawalevu and regarded
him az fine, healthy young fellow. He was
astonished one day to find him much changed by
the effects of Leprosy. Some time after he met
him again in full health, and learned on inquiry
the treatment adopted to bring about the change.
Taken to small empty house. the leper is stripped
of every article Of clothing, his body rubbed all
over with green leaves, and then buried IN them.
A small fire is then kindled and few pieces of
the Sinu gaga laid on 1t. AZ soon AZ the thick
black smoke begins to ascend, the leper is bound
hand and foot rope is fastened W his heels by
means Of which he his drawn up over the fire 40
o e"u in the midst Of the posonous smoke The
door is thus closed, and his friends retire little
distance whilst the poor sufferer il left to cry aud
shout and plead from the midst Of the sufocating
steam. When he is thought sufficiently smoked,
the fire Is removed, the slime scraped from the
body, and deep gashes cut into the skin until the
blood flows freely. The leper is now taken down
and laid ON mats to await the resslt-n some
cases death-in many, life and health. Wiliami
had undergone this fearful process. He had taken
some of the youths OF the place, and on his way ~
the smoking house told them his pitiable oondi-
ton liR ShnIue Y OlltCaat and hia WiiiuUneaa

thing could depend on their frmness. They were
not to be moved by his Rroans and cries, and for

operation WELL Wiliami il no longer lepcr, but
