The heaves is an affection of the lungs
and occasionally Of the heart as we'll,
through the lungs. It is ~ nervous dis
order, which affects one Of the. princi-
pal nerves Of the body, the pneumogas-
trio, which controls the digestive and
breathing organs, SO that the disorder
may have it's seat IN the stomach or in
the lungs, or both, or in the nervous
system. 1t is accompanied by violen,
action Of the lungs, which causes aheav-
ing Of the TANKS Tor short time and by
spasms, or when the horse is worked
hard or run quicl ly. The usual remedy
is to relieve the stomach by feeding
lightly With highly nutritious. food to
give no dry eed, and to keep the sys-
TEN open by proper medicine. Also, to
relieve all pressure on the throat or
neck; provide ample ventilation in the
stable, and keep the air pure; and, fur
Their, to giFe water only III small quantl-
ties and never soon alter feeding.

"Any housekeeper eau prove the hon
esty OF her grocer, or his butter, by
melting it, Pure butter melted produces
pure. iimpid, golden oil, aud it retains
the butter favor. Melt oleomargarine,
and the oil smells like tallow aud looks
like talIow, and a scum rises to the sur
face. Butterine is q mixture Of dairy
butter and fats. Melt that and the but
ter oil will rise to the top. Pour this off,
and GU will fnd tue fats at the bosto.n,
wnitsh in color and giving ofa disagree
able SMELL"

cut off a slice from the~top; then, with a
spoon, remove the inside of the

but not oui e, al inch thick; make a
YER rich oyster stew; pour little into
the loaf to moisten it,. then put in a
layer OF oysters; then Of bread crumbs
we'll saited and peppere d; put the t p
crust on, ana set it in the oven in a drip
