Hollow Horn.

People seem to have broken out on
the "hollow-horn question, and it bids
fair to engage the attention of the pub
lie until some one opens the chess and
wheat question by affirming that he
knows wheat will produce chess. We
have had all sorts of remedies recon-
mended for the ailment, from rubbing
the horn with an old boot to pouring
sharp vinegar and black pepper into the
ear of the COW. Now, friends, once for
all, there is no such disease as unnat-
ural hollow-horn, never was and never
will be while the horn was or is upon the
head of a living animal. All this doctoring
of the horns or for the horns is the
treatment of a symptom, and we might
just as well bore into a mans pulse be-
cause a raging fever makes it quick,
with the expectation of abating the
fever The horns of sick animal feel
acknowledgement hot and some
times cold-because the animal is sick;
because the system is out of condition,
and not because there is any local dis
ease in the horns. 1t is simply a cruel
practice to bore into the horn at such
times. The apparent demonstration of
hollowness by such means is wholly
let passes through one side of the horn
and bony structure it enters sinus,
and so meets with no obstruction until
it reaches the opposite side. Now this
has often been taken as evidence of
"hollow-horn." And then when ami
mails are old, the bony structure in the
horn often shrinks in a perfectly natural
manner, forming cavity within the
horn. Now if the horn is bored in
a lateral direction, the gimlet will enter
that cavity, and the animal is pro,
nounced to be suffering from hollow
horn, and must submit to being doc
tored. The gimlet will sometimes too
enter the frontal sinuses which mucus
secretions have accumulated, and
when it is drawn out a small quantity
of thick mucus, and sometimes blood
will escape. This is esteemed as proof
positive of the existence of disease in
the horns. Further, assesses will
occasionally form in the frontal sinuses
sometimes the result of common ca
farmland the gimlet may penetrate
the sac containing the pus, which now
escapes through the gimlet hole. Such
case is pronounced one of "hollow
horn, and when the animal RECEIVERS,
its recovery is attributed to the boring
process. If let alone, the pus would
finally escape through the nostrils, and
the animal be better off
Whenever there is determination of
blood to the head, the horns will feel
unnatural and will expose themselves
to the charge of being hollow by some
people. The same will be true when
there is weak circulation of the blood,
which under such circumstances does
not reach the extremities. In one case
the horns will be hot, and in the other
cold. Restore the system by proper
course of diet, to its natural condition;
perhaps by rubbing the animal; by Civ
ing it medicines that are anti-spasmodic
in their action; stimulate the digestive
organs; remove distractions in the bow
els by injections or aperients. In short.
aim to promote q healthy action
through the system. But don't use a
gimlet. Western Rural.

The representative business men in
all parts of the country agree that
there is pothing in the present con-
dition of business matters to cause
any alarm. The recent furry in
Wall street they regard as the result
of undue speculation, which can in
no way effect the legitimate trade of
the country. They say it is a pro-
cess of liquidation which they view
as favorable to sound business
methods. Tie Boston shoe shop
failures are the result of reckless
speculation, This every one familiar
with the subject knows. Fraud and
over expansion caused the failure of
the railroad enterprise in northeastern
