All young fruit trees, says the
Country Gentleman, which do not
make a growth of two feet for the
longest shoots in season, need addi-
tional stimulating with manure if the
ground is clean and well cultivated. or
if they stand in grass or happen to be
incumbered with weeds, good mellow
cultivation must he given them. This
is the rule for young trees, and the
best time, if manure IS applied, is late
in autumn or during winter, the
earlier the better. But manure ap-
pears to do the most good on bearing
trees, especially apple trees, often Civ
ing good annual crops where poor
and biennial crops were previously
borne. Bearing trees need not grow
so rapidly as young trees, but if they
do not make annual shoots at least a
foot long, they need more manure or
both manure and cultivation. The
manure may be spread broadcast in
winter, covering the whole surface.

The Horse-Intlamntion of the Bowels.
In this disease, says the Western
AgrtcultuiSt, no time must be lost, but
the animal must be put to rest as soon
q possible, for unless YOU relieve him
enough to make him quiet in a very
short time, it will be impossible to save
his life. My great SUCCESS in treating
this disease has been to give large
doses of opium and bclladonna, with
linseed or castor oil. Then | give in
jections of "ice water until the bowels
have been elnptied as completely as
possible, then from ten to twenty
drops fluid extract of aconite every
hour until the horse commences froth-
ing at the mouth, when the aconite
must be withheld and "quinine" given
for one or two doses, when the aconite
can be given again in the same sized
doses. AS soon us the bowels have been
emptied US completely as possible with
out straining the injections must cease
and a suppository made with two
drachms Of solid extract of opium in
serted in the rectum and allowed to
remain there and dissolve, and under
all circumstances the bowels must be
held in check after they are first
emptied, until the fever is broken up.
l have kept horses under treatment for
three days at time, without allowing
their bowels to move. Mustard applied
to the sides and belly is thought by
some practitioners TO be very useful,
but have never yet seen any direct
benef derived from the use Of mus
tard in this disease. "Ice" J. have
found to be great benefit in this dis
ease. If it is broken into small pieces
and put ints bucket and set before
the animal he will generally eat it
when he will refuse everything else,
and l have never yet seen any bad
results from the use of ice in this dis
ease, either from eating the ice or the
use of ice-water for injections.

Feed of Cow Before and After Coly,ns.
AS the period CT calying approaches,
the cows system becomes much dis
turbed, and the circulation is consider
ably increased. The animal is taxed to
the utmost to supply the blood needed
for the devlopement Of the calf, and
while in this condition, a very slight
cause, such as cold or indigestion from
overlooking, may do Il great deal of
mischief. II is therefore dangerous
to feed grain to COW for several
weeks before calying. Nothing is re-
quired except good hay, with a few
roots or two quarts of chopped pJta-
toes daily; no meal whatever should be
given. A bran Stop should be given
only when required rs a laxative, and
then dose. of two ounces of EPSON
salts should be mixed with it. Feeding
grain stimulates the milk organs
unduly and very frequently proAuees
garget or congestcd udder. 1t il a
great mistake to try to induce q large
development of udder in the hope of
obtaining a large milk yield after
wards. An hour or 50 after calying,
pailtul of bran-slop with four ounces
Of EPSON salts and handful of salt
dissolved in it, will allay any 1everi$il
symptoms that may appear. 1t is al
visable to greatly reduce or totally
withhold feed from twelve to twenty
four hours after calying, only water
with a handful of bran stirred in it
should be given. Then there shoall
be fed one peck OF raw roots, two
quarts of wheat Or rye bran and two
quarts of cornmeal, with all the good
hay she will eat. For the first few DAYS
wet the meal in warm water and give
warm water to drink.

Gen. Sherman, must be very interest
ing. They number thousands, and
were begun when the general was at
West Point, and have continued ever
since. The love of the brothers for
each other is well-known among their
friends. Neither has thought that is
not in some way connected with the
other. The letters of Gen. Sherman
to his brother during the war will
make mighty interesting reading il
they are ever printed. They were
written in camp--sometimes before a
battle and sometimes after one but
they gave the writer's ideas straight
from his heart, and told what he
thought the same as he would COM

Is not here q chance for women
doctors? Mr. Kittridge, Of Bombay,
has made proposal to raise, with the
cooperation Of natives of India, a fund
guaranteeing women doctors against
loss, who are willing to 60 out from
England to that country. The queen
has expressed her interest and approval
of ttc ..Urts to send out these women,
although she did not subscribe to the
fund. The difficulty in India is that
both religious and several laws forbid
the IIindoo woman of the upper castles
the aid of a male physician, and she is
in consequence left to the mercy of
ignorant native m dwives and wise
women. Iindoos of influence and
wealth are exceedingly anxious to pro-
vide their wives with the attendance
of educated female practitioners.
Hence Mr.. Kittridge's movement.
American women doctors with equal
knowledge and experience will be as
welcome as the English in this far-ol
field.
