Kicking Cows.

We see many remedies for curing q
COW of kicking while being MIXED. The
best remedy is prevention. This can
only be applied by handling the heifer
While young, teaching her by %gentleness
and kindness that mar is her friend and
does not wish to harm her; but as this is
not always possible, ii is we'll TO know
how to prevent kicking after a COW has
reached mature yea1s. We have noticed
the following remedy many times: 81
tied the COW up by the head
(notlegs), procured a good switch (not
club, and proceeded to milk, and for
every kick | returned INT good smart
blow with the switch on the offending
leg. A few kicks and blows sutficed for
that time. s.! the next milking only
three or four blows was required and at
the third milking one kick and one blow
was sufficient, and ever after the COW
wa as gentle as need be-" Three i'm
portant points are to be observed in the
above treatment: First, uniform kind
e s and gentleness;second, never strike
a COW tor kicking when loose in the
yard, or she will learn to run from you;
third, only II blow foreach kick. With
the right kind of person and the right
kind Of COW, we have no doubt that the
above remedy will be efficient, but there
are few persons who will stand "a Jew
kicks" and still be uniformly kind and
gcntie.-Breeders' Live Stock Journal.

Cunning Maine foxes.

One morning last week, as 1 was cross
ing lots with my hound ,:.I.sawan old red
fox run into a thicket. I put the.dog on
his track and concealed myself in the
thicket, knowing that a fox will often
circle and pick up his old track. IcouId
hear the hound baying off near New
Gloucester. Then it changed and grew
more and more distinct, and 1 knew the
fox was returning. l must have waited
some half an hour when l saw the fox
dart into a hollow log a little distance to
my left, and as he went out at the other
end l remained in my hiding place, sup
posing it a trick of til, fox to put the
dog off his track. The dog was puzzled
only an instant and followed
the fox on a longer circuit this
time, but in the course of an hour l
saw it again enter one ssend of the log
and come ont at the other. Thinks j,
'"My chap, Til play you a Yankee trick
by stopping up the other end of the
log" This l did, and again hid myself
waiting for third return. / was hid
den about the same length oftime when
by the voice of my dog, / knew the fox
was returning. A few minutes later 1
saw the fox enter the log. | ran up to
the open end and soon had itsecured.
This 5eing done, | awaited the coming
up Of the dog, which l tied to a sarpling
while l went out to get an axe. / soon
got back and opened the log sufficiently
to see four foxes instead of one. "How
was that?" 'sIt's plain enough. One fox
would run until tired, then would enter
the log and another void take his
place.-Lewiston Journal.

Rheulnatism.

Acute rheumatism, or rheumatic fever
is mainly a disease of early life. There
are two varieties of rheumatism-the
progressive and the partial. ~Inprogres-
siye rheumatism, it is the smaller Joints
of the upper extre nities-generally of
the fngers-that are first attacked. In
time the disease extends to other and
larger joints, sometimes even to those of
the spine, In the first stage there are
pain, redness, heat and swelling of the
affected joints, and often a spasmodic
contraction of the neighboring muscles,
causing a permanent distortion. In the
second stage, changes take place within
the joint, resulting in the formation of
chalk-llke eXcrescences, the loss of the
cartilage which lines the Tuner surface,
and rendering the end of the bone hard
like ivory.
In old people-the disease is not confin-
ed to them, though much more common
among them-tho changes are much
slower than in others, and the move
ments are less interfered with. Fortu.
nately,, the right hand suffers less than
the left. In time, from prolonged i'm
mobility, there jsa wasting of the mus.
cles and the bones. Spasmodic muscu-
lar contractions also often cause the
limbs to be drawn permanently into va
rlous unnatural pastures.
Partial chronic rheumatism attacks
only a few joints-often a single one
but generally the larger. The pains are
at first slight and vague, and pass off
when the person is walking, but at
length are severe. The joint becomet
much deformed: motion, however, is
more or less preserved, and the patient
manages to get about. The muscles are
seldom contracted. The disease does not
threaten life, Progressive rheumatism
is much more frequent in females; par
tial, in males. The most common causes
are living in damp rooms, insufficient or
improper food, various other diseases,
especially scrofula.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

Spring Halt.

Spring halt is an affection of
the nerves of the leg, or it may
be of those of the loins which control
the nerves of the limbs. If the animal
appears tender upon the loins, this may
be also due to the same cause as the ner-
Gus disorder, and that ma very pos
sibly arise from disease Of the spinal
meningitis. This may even cause uri.
nary disturbances, because the whole
nervous system of these organs will be
involved, as well as that of the digestive
organs and the limbs, by this disease, SO
that the treatment in such IL case should
be for the primary cause ard not the To-
cal disorder. The treatment should be
to apply mustard plaster to the loins, to
purge freely by aloes, four drains, or
l~inseed-oll, n pint, repeated, and to
give one-half ounce doses of bromide of
potassium daily. Swollen gums and pal
ate in a horse indicate bad health. The
treatment should be to give q dose or
two of physic. A pint of linseed oil, or
a pound of epson salts, and to wash the
month with solution of borax. Feeling
too much whole cord will sometimes pro-
duce this trouble.

Vetrinarv Notes,

Horses hoofs become brittle because
they are too dry-possibly from a dis
eased condition ofthe feet. or from the
use of grease or oil or tar, which re-
moves the water for them. Horn should
contain about 30 per cent. of water when
in q healthful state. 1t is then elastic
and will not break. Cold water. will
generally restore the hoofs when they
become too dry. 1t may be applied by
means of wet bandages in the daytime
and in the stable by providing q puddle
Of clay or wet muck for the horse to
stand in. All other remediec are in

Calves are subject to a fatal disorder
known as anthrax fever, otherwise

to moving, and slee ny and stupid, and
die quickly. The best remedy is to give
the calf one ounce of linseed-oiI as soon
as it seems to be ailing; after that give
a t%easpoonful of sulphur and one of
cream of tartar i'll a tablespoonful of
molasses. The dead calves should be
buried deeply and all the sick ones
kept separate frem the we'll ones, as the
disease is contagious.
Moon-blindness or recurring ophthal-
mia is not an uncommon disease in
horses. It is constitutional, and usually
ends in blindness. The first symptoms
are weakness and Inflammation, with rum

which in time disappears. After a few
weeks it returns, and SO on, worse at
each repetition until the eye is perma-
nently clouded. The remedy is to give
the horse a pound of epson salts on the

passenger for Rock Island whipped out a

to escape observation, he split the check
in two. Putting one half the check in his

the thin strip of pasteboard constituting
the other half of the check to his partner,

A ANALOGOUS INVENTION

Information of a startling nature has
reached the ARGUS, to the effect that in
towns south of and adjacent to Rock ISL
and q report is being industriously circu-
lated to the effect that there are fifty or
sixty cases of small pox in this city. which
deters great many of our farmer friends
from coming here to visit or trade. By
authority we pronounce this "a wretchedly
malicious invention of the enemy. To-day
there isn't single case of smallpox in
Rock Island and but one of varioloid there
is no more danger of small pox scourge
here than there is of a Republican majority
at the next presidential election.
