Founder.

A disease that is far too common in
horses, is caused most frequently by
driving or working the animal till he is
overheated, and more or less exhausted,
and then allowing him to cool of sud-
denly without rubbing dry. A horse is
driven hard for several miles and thcn
hitehed to a post in the open air in cold
winter weather. and perhaps forgotten
by the driver. who may be telling sto-
ries or smoking cigar by warm fire;
the next morning. If not sooner, it is
noticed that the animal has not eaten
well, and can scarcely move from the
stall. The lameness may be chiefly in
one limb, or in more than one. DR..
Cressv, in his recent lecture before the
Connecticut Board of Agriculture, said
that any case of founder can be cured
if taken within thirty hours of the at
tack.
The first thing to do is to place the
horses feet in tubs of warm water, and
then blanket heavily, and getthe animal
thoroughly warm all over. The lame.
ness is caused by q stagnation of the
blood in the feet, caused by being cooled
too rapidly after exhaustlng labor. The
warm water thins the blood. extends
and softens the blood vessels and favors
increased circulation. In very bad cases
bleeding in the foot may be necessary.
though ordinarily it may be dispensed
with.
Knowing the cause of founder it will
be seen that it is much easier to pre-
vent than to cure this disease after it
becomes established. In the first place
avoid very severe driving and over
exhaustion; but if abuse Of this kind is
unavoidable, see to itthat the horse who
has risked his life in the service of his
master isnot neglected at the end of his
journey. Drive into warm shed or
barn free from cold draughts, and rub
vigorously till the animal is dried of.
Give warm water to drink and cover
with warm blankets. In short, treat
the horse just as you would treat your
self under like circumstances
change.

Fall Setting Of Raspberries and Black
berries.

Our experience has been such that
hereafter our setting of blackberries
and raspberries will be done in the fall,
and the following will be our plan: II
to grow in hills we shall plOw ground
but not harrow it, then plow out tur-
rows six feet apart each way and at the
crossing set plant. If in rows mark
one way with corn marker and plow
the other way geod burrows six feet
apart, then set plant in furrow in line
with the corn markers teeth. You
ask why we would not harrow, simply
because we prefer to leave the ground
mn loose as possible, and as soon as
spring opens and ground is dry enough
to 90 on, run smoothing harrow
or drag will do-over the
plantation both ways: This levels
down the ground nicely and does no
harm to the roots of plants. As soon
as plants are up run over them again
with the. smoothing harrow. lengthwise
of the row, having team walk with q
row between them. This puts ground
In best of(,rder, stirs up the surface and
kills out all weeds and gives the plants
splendid start. and not one in fifty
will fail to grow. especially if small
quantity of litter is thrown over each
hill just as the winter sets in. Plants
will not only start better but will make
almost double the growth the first year
of those set in the spring.
There is much more time to do it we'll
in the fall. and the manure can be
thrown rigfG on the hills through the
winter, taking far less than If scattered
broadcast.-FruNR Recorder.

I am forty five years of age, and before this
sickness 1 was strong, healthy man. am
six feet two inches high and broad shoul.
dered, my usual weight before my sickness
being about one hundred and eighty six
pounds. The first indication had Of any
disease was slight tickling in my throat,
ing cough. This has continued for long
time and troubles me 50 much that I cannot
sleep at night. Ihave lost my appetite, and
from lack of nourishment have grown SO
weak that ! can walk but short distance
before am completely exhausted and
obliged to lie down. I have great deal of
roaring and wheeling in my breast, which
leads me to think that the bronchial tubes
are all stopped up. My bowels are usually
costive, and I have lost thirty or forty
pounds of flesh.
Please let me hear from You soon. Your
medicines are not sold In this neighborhOOd,

to GallipOlis for them.

was disgusted with medicine. I had tried 30
many different medicines without being
helped by any. Finding that was not tO
be persuaded, he bought some Of your Pull.
monic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic himself,
and brought them to me. at first refused
to touch them. I did not want to be exper.
imented on, but finally consented to use
them merely to satisfy him, not that ex.
menced taking the Pulmonic Syrup and Sea.
weed Tonic, and to my great surprise felt
almost immediate relief, and was encouraged
to continue using them. MY condition i'm.
proved under their use, until, In time
grew perfectly well, no trace Of the disease
remaining. My lungs had healed up and
grew stronger than ever. I was permanent.

Dear Sir-My wife was troubled with Lung
Disease, attended with weakness and pros.

was of no avail. She did not grow any bet.

pamphlets, and after reading of the many
cures made by your medicines, concluded
to give them trial. So bought one bottle
each Of your - Pulmonic Syrup" and "Sea-

such marked Improvement that got more
of the medicines. After using half dozen
bottles she became quite well and strong
again. My wife has great faith in your med

Ten years ago contracted q severe cold,

one doctor to another, getting prescriptions
from each, but the medicines they prescribed
seemed to do me no good. I kept getting
worse and worse, until at last I became so
weak that If I went any distance from my

to get back. I was in despair, and had al.
most given up all hope of recovery. As .

Cattle Raisers' Losses-Ehect of the Se-
 were Winter in the West.
 CHICAGO, Feb. 21-A Times correspond ent, sent out to investigate the effects of the hard winter on the cattle in the great grazing ranges, telegraphs from Kansas City that owing to the vast expanse of the 'tbeef em- plre" in which the herds roam at will, it is almost impossible to gain trustworthy news Intelligence received from the ranges of the North Platte river, between the towns on that river and Sidney, Neb., and northward for one hundred and fifty miles from the Niobrara ranges, extending two hundred miles over into Dakota, from the great grazing ground in northeastern and central Colorado, and from northeastern New Mexico and southwestern Kansas, indicates great prob able losses while the gravest fears are en- tertained that the thickly populated pasture lands of Montana, Idaho and Oregon may be strewn with carcasses by the time spring opens.
 William Parton, a member of the Nebraska Legislature from Omaha expects to lose from 5000 to 1000 of his 15, ,OOO head on the North Platte, entailing loss of from $1OO, 900 to $125,OO0. J. N. McShane, another member, anticipates loss of 30 per centum in the Creighton herds, numbering some 30, GOO head.
 The cattle men no longer try to conceal the fact that the season of 1881 will be disastrous to their interests, and though it should turn out that the actual loss by death is Less than the present appearances indicate, it is uni versally conceded that the percentage of in- crease in the herds will be far below the reg ular percentage The COWS will be so weak ened by exposure and the approach of starva- tion that they will be barren for a year, if not longer. The estimates of the loss in the various ranges run all the way from 10 to 75 per centum.
