TO take off warts on cows teats:
rouch each wart daily with a sharply
nointed stick which has been dipped in
nitric acid (~aquafortis), being careful
that the little drop on the point of the
stick vets nothing but the wart. Do
this for q week, and repeat in four
weeks, if any are left.
Rice and cheese form q cheap and
oalatable dish and liked by most gentle
men. The rice should be steamed until
tender, then seasoned, and enough new
milk added to make it quite moist; put
into q buttered baking dish in alternate
1ayers, with grated cheese, the cheese
to be the last layer. Bake half an hour,

eggs are usually those which are fed
with kitchen waste. Feeding with meat
or animal flesh seems to cause this bad
habit, and fowls that are supplied with
corn, Wl6ICs SCalucO OTBl n meal In
abundance do not seem to practice this
vice. Once it is contracted there seems
to be no IRE A frequent provocation
of the habit is giving eggg-shells to the
fowls; they eat these with ayidity, and
then learn to break the eggs. Another
cause is too close confinement in a
house or yard and the leaving of eggs
in the nest to freeze.-PraiYtc Farmer.
Horses have been successfully cured
of biting by putting q piece of hard wood
an inch and a half square in the ami.
mails mouth, about the same length as
an ordinary snaf1e bit. 1t may be
fastened by q thong Of leather passed
through two holes in the ends Of the
wood and secured to the bride. 1t must
be used in addition to the bit, but in no
way to impede the working of the bit.
Animals with this vice should be treated
kindly in the stable and not abused with
pitchfork handles, whips, etc. An ap-
pie, crust OF bread, a piece of beet, etc.,
and q kind pat, but firm, watchful hand
and eye, with the use of the above wood
