ment, II so, what? 3. D. OtsaqtldgG ~. 7.
THAT quarter will be very apt to inhame
after calving. Give her a general COW
drink Immediately after parturition, and
treat as for gaTget. Rub the bag around
that teat daily now with tincture of ac-
onIte o.; tincture of cantharides l o.;
uncture oflodine o.; mix. If 1t gets
well blistered, stop and wash every 8
days with soap and warm water.
MANIMITIs- RsTRU9I-I have
a fine young COW whose udder became
much swollen a few weeks ago, and the
milk from one of her teats came in yell
lOWish clots. The milk from the other
teats appeared to be all right. The in
Illumination was contiguous to the affected
teat. It has now subsidized, and the milk
comes in good condition, but the quality
is much less than before the attack. I
had COW similarly affected last Summer,
and she recovered, but the same trouble
reappeared at intervals of five or six
weeks. They were not hurt IN any way
nor IN either case was any milk left In
the udder to spoil. Neither of the COWS
were sucking a calf when affected. I
have another COW which has been taking
the bull regularly since last July. She
has somewhat the appearance of being
with calf. Does it happen sometimes
that they will take the bull regularly, and
show all signs of being in heat, when
they are six or seven months gone with
calf? SUBSCRIBER. BOaULi1lg Green, Ky.
The disease is constitutional. Should it
reappear, give one of Moore Bros general
cow drinks, and repeat once or twice
until three have been used; applying the
liniment recommended on the wrapper,
and you will eradicate the disease. 1t
sometimes happens that pregnant ami
mails show all the symptoms Of Oestrum.
See article on this subject on page 81, in
volume for 1879.
CURB BLENIIsHEs.- have a young mare,
in foal, that had a curb come on her last
Summer. l have doctored it little, but
without any success. I tried blistering
with Spanish fly, but it did not do any
good. VIII you tell me what to do
| Would there be more danger ofbreeding
| it if doctored before. she foals? Would a
| dose of salts be injurious to a mare in
foal? Would rest be necessary while
| doctoring a curb? The mare has not
| been lame since the first or second week
after the curb came. A. NJ B. MdcbiGs
~ Y. Golden blister will remove it.
Rest is necessary for two weeks after ap-
plying it for curb. Have high-heeled
! shoes, or heel and no toe calks, on both
hind feet. There would be no difference
with use of this blister whether mare is
in foal or not. If the curb is removed
before foaling, it cannot enhance the
danger of transmission to foal.

POLITICAL NICKNANTES.
How Senator Ewing Came To Be Called
Solitude"
Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.
The nicknaming of prominent men,
particularly Of those mixing in politics, is
practiced in this country more, perhaps,
than in any other, and, as a rule, the re-
cipient takes to it kindly. Thus Gen.
Jackson was as well known as "Old Hick-
DRY" and more readily recognized than
if called President Jackson. Senator Ben
ton in his lifetime was almost as well
known as cold Bullion" so called from
his advocaC, of gold and silver curren-
cy and his inVeterate opposition to banks
and paper money. The late Thomas
Ewing, of Ohio, while Senator in Con-
gress, had his nickname of Solitude"
and it so stuck to him, to distinguish
him from his son and namesake, Gen.
Tom Ewing. Senator Ewing made a
speech in the United States Senate
which fastened the Solitude" upon him.
It was during the national bank agitation,
when the supporters of that institution
were active in picturing the ruin that
would come upon the country if the
banks charter was not renewed. Sena-
tor Ewing in debate spoke of the mechan-
ic being out of work, and that the busy
hum of industry is heard not in this, the
busy season of the year, and wound up
with the assertion that "our canals are a
solitude, our lakes but desert wastes of
water" A number of Congressmen-s
eral of them Senators, and more than
half of them Democrats-made up par
ty to return to their homes by the way
of the New York canal. The west was
then sending it's produce to the east via
lake and canal, and the Congressional
party found that the canal trade, if judged
by the number of boats met, was i'm
mense, and it was a standing joke with
the Democratic members when feet of
boats hove in sight to call Mr.. Ewing
from the the cabin of the packetboat
to look at his solitude" At the lower
end of the canal there had been break,
and large number of boats were usual
ly in sight. Of course there was fun to
see them and to point them out to the
Ohio member, but the fun was not on
his side nor to his liking. At Rochester,
Just as the packet-boat landed, a freight
boat was discharging cargo, and Mr.. Ew-
ing and the other Congressman were
lookers-on. By some accident a hogs
head filed with molasses had it's head
burst in, and the contents poured into
the canal. An Irish laborer standing
near to Mr.. Ewing, without knowing who
he was exclaimed: "Jabers, mon, that
must be solitude swatened." The other
Congressman roared with laughter, and
Mr.. Ewing was forced to join them. The
Democratic members told the joke and it
got into the newspapers, and it aided In
perpetuat ting the sobriQuet of Solitude
on Senator Thomas Ewing l tell the tale
as it was told and printed at the time.
