RINGBONE.

10 tie Edii0r IF Tie cecil Wig:
In my last article to Your paper spoke
of the disease called "spavin,' or ali
epostoSiS on the hook Joint. 1t is now
my intention to give your readers some
idea of a disease similar and of the same
nature as SPAWN, but loc lted upon a diff
terent part Of the body.
RINGEONE.
The term ''rngbonc" is applied to the
bony deposits that are found upon the
upper and lower postern bones more es-
pccially to those forms that take on the
form of 4 ring around the bone.
There are two kinds Of ringbone, true
and false We may dismiss the false
ring bone in a few words 1t is bony
enlargement about the middle of the os
sull'ragins (postern bone) due to an in
creased development of the roughencd
surface on that bone upon which the ex-
tensor pedis and anterior extensor of the
phaIanges muscles are attached. The
true ringboEc is an unsoundness in every
sense of the word, involving important
articulations, and giving Use to obstinate
aud generally incurable lameness. This
disease OF ringbone must not be con-
founded with what is termed ''sidebone.'
The first is disease of a bone the Sec
ond disease OF tibro cartilage.
Ringbones vary in size, but the degree
of lamcncsS does not depend upon the
mere size of the diseased formation.
Very often the deposit is not sufficient to
extend entirely around the Zone, but
may be collected in one Spct on the side
of the bone. When this is the case they
do not occa>i,n the same amount of
lamcneSS As when they are situated III
front of or extend all around the postcrn
bone. The development of a lingbone is
exactly the same as the Development OF
Il spa in These two diseases belong to
the same category of diseases, and their
cisely the same. They both commence
from an injury t. the periosteal co ering
Of the bone, producing Il local periosti'is
d position of earthly salts, and conse-
q,.crtly an cxostosis on the bone and an
chN lpsis OF the involved articulation.
When anchy losiS is competed the lame
ness may almost, if not entirely, diSap
pear. The lamcncss of ringbone pre-
cedes the deposition of bony matter, and
is due to the presence of inflammation in
the | o les or Synovial membrane.

You Can Have IT.

'My dear, what would 1 give to have
your hair?" is often said by middle-aged
ladies to young ones. Madam, you may
have just such hair. Parker's Hair Balsam
will give it to you. 1t will stop your hair
from falling off, restore the original color
and make it long, thick, soft and glossy.
You need not stand helplessly envying the
girls. The Balsam is not oily, not a dive,
but is an elegant dressing, and is especially
recommended for its cleanliness and purity,

In the treatment OF ringbonc especial
attention is to be given to the hceing of
tho, horse. Pathological shoeing is nee
essary. the action Of the horSe's leg, the
manner in which the foot is placed upon
the ground, the shape Of the foot and the
extent of the disease all being considered
in constructing a shoe proper for such an
animal to wear. Not only this but the
pyro puncture must be used, (tiring irons
heated until they are of a white heat. }
This is used very carefully in order to
attain any degree Of success in the treat
ment following the pyropuncture a
cantharadis blistering ointment is rubbed
over the seat of the disease The treat
ment for spawn is the treatment for ring
bone. and as | Laid down a system of
treatment for SPAWN in my article on that
subject it is unnecessary for me to re-
neat that treatment IN this article upon
ringbone, except to say that they are
identical in every particular.

Live Fence Posts.

If wire fences are to come into uni
versal use there appears to be no good
reason why all of our Outlands should
not be surrounded with line of trees a
proper distance apart to serve as posts;
this would save the expense of posts
and at the same time secure a perma-
nent fence.
Around fields that are to be plowed
and cultivated, there would be an OBJ
lection on account of the roots; but
around pastures there not only seems
to be no objection, but a positive adj
vantage secured by the shade which the
trees would afford.
In setting trees for this purpose care
should be taken to set durable trees,
and also trees adapted to the soil and
the climate. Some localities require
one kind, and other localities quite
different kind. Within fifteen or TWEEN
ty miles of the ocean the red cedar
would be one of the best for this pur-
pose; it will grow on any soil from
stiff clay to a dry sand or gravel. 1t is
true it will not make quite as rapid
growth as some other trees, but it bears
transplanting as well as most deciduous
trees, and will soon begin to grow; by
the third, and often the second year
after set, it will grow as fast as if left
to grow where the Seeding first started.
The locust would be still better tree
if it were not for the borer that gets
into the trunk, often in such numbers as
to Kill the tree. This is a very rapid
growing tree, and yet would not grow
large enough to cucumber the land.
Where the borer does not work this
would be an excellent tree for live fence
posts.
The chestnut would make an excel
lent tree for posts if it did not grow so
large; it grows very rapidly and runs
up straight, but when standing single it
grows very large.
The black walnut is quick growing
tree and it grows in good form for a
post.
The white ash in some localities
would be a good tree, but occasionally
would in time get too large.
The red maple is easy to transplant,
grows well, and would make a very
good tree for posts in wet land.
The walnut would also make a good
tree on dry land. but it is very difficult
ito transplant it, and the time required
ito get it large enough for post would
ibe an objection.
He who attempts to surround his
land with live fence posts should first
make himself so familiar with the habits
of the different trees that he may not
make a mistake by setting the wrong
trees on the different soils which sur
round his farm. Massachusetts Plough.

Experiment Farms.

Germany has the credit of organizing
an institution which promises to be Of
the greatest Importance to the world;
but more particularly to the agricultural
classes. 1t is what is known as the ex-
pertinent farms. These are Govern
ment institutions designed primarily TO
assist the farming community. Through
this agency seeds of all kinds are tested
and distributed. The various artificial
manure5 are experimental with, and
the facts given to the farmers. The
latter have heretofore spent vast sums
of money upon well-advertised rubbish.
The experiment farm furnishes infOrma-
ton about dairying, the growth of
fruit and vegetables, and the drying of
fruit. 1t saves the farmer the expense
of trying new plants by testing their
value before money is spent upon them
In short, the object of the institutions
is to give farmers the benefit of all the
sciences and experience of the age.
This admirable German institution has
been initiated in o small way in New
York and Ohio; but its possible use
tulness does not seem as yet to be APP
preciated by the American people, and
by the farmers least of all. There
ought to be dozens of such Government
farms in the large States. Were these
institutions numerous and the farming
class wise enough to take advantage of
them, it would add amazingly to our
national wealth by utilizing the science
and experience of the times for the
benefit of the agriculture of the cOun-
try. The most active minded and in
telligent farmers would profit quite as
much as their more stOlid neighbors
OF course these experiment farms and
their appliances would cost money, but
they would return hundred fold for
every dollar expended upon them.
These experimental farms viii be use
full also in helping to collect agricultural
statistics. A correct knowledge of the
production of the country is essential
in forming an estimate of values, and
the farming class will never get all their
productions are worth until the statis-
ties of the crops are well nigh perfect.
All good citizens should encourage these
Government farms. -DenlOrest' S Month

Our Most Valuable Insecticides.

In answers to inquiries for a list OF
the leading insecticides we say that
there are six substances now generally
in use, viz: tobacco, soap, hellebOre,
arsenic, petroleum, and pyrethrum.
The effective part of tobacco is the
narcotic principle called nicotine. The
vapor of tobacco is found more effective
and less injurious than even tobacco
smoke or a decoction of the stems. The
tobacco stems are used like mulch in
the garden, or scattered on the green
house plants. Soap is one of the oldest
remedies. Hellebore, the root of Yer
atrum album, ground to powder, is
useful for only a limited number of
insect pests. It is the best remedy for
the currant worm, and most of the saw
flies. Arsenic is employed as Paris
green or London purple. and is very
effective wherever it is safe to use the
deadly poison. Paris green became
popular as a remedy for the Colorado
potato beetle. London purple, an
arsenical insecticide of recent intro
duction, is a refuse material in the
manufacture of aniline dyes. Petrol
cum is now being largely used in de-
stroYin0 insects, either in the crude
state or as kerosene. Two parts of the
substance are thoroughly mixed with
one of sour milk, and afterwards di-
luted with water before spraying upon
the infested plants. Pyrethrum has
been in use as an insecticide for many
years, under the name of PERSIAN
Insect Powder" 1t is the pulverised
flowers of several species of the genus
Pyrethrum- members of the great sun
flower family of plants. A species of
Pyrethrum is now being largely grown
in California aud furnishes ssRuhaoh -
the comparatively new insecticide
known in the trade. The Pyrethrum
powder acts only by contact, and
needs TO be applied directly TO the
insects. Unlike the arsenical COM
pounds, it is harmless to man and the
larger animals. Other insecticides
employed to limited extent are

A Penitent Boy.

You would have felt sorry for him
if you had seen him as he wandered
into the police headquarters last week.
He was dirty, tired, hungry, and mis-
cradle, and it was all his own fault. He
had run away from home; he lived in
San Francisco, which you know is on
the Pacific coast; and this thirteen year
old Emil had left his bright sunny,
comfortable home last June to do
what do you think? Fight Indians!
And he had not seen one in all his
travels. He had no money when he
left home, but he stole ride on a train
to Omaha, which he reached very
hungry and very tired; from there he
begged his way to Chicago, walked
nearly the entire distance; now and then
train hands allowed him to ride free.
He begged a ride in the cars from
Chicago to Cincinnati, where he hoped
to find an older brother, but he did not
find him. After working about the
city for few days, he again began
begging his way and stealing rides on
the railroad trains, and last Friday
he reached New York. He wandered
about the city all day, without any
thing to eat, and late at night came &c
the police station completely worn out,
and begging to be sent home. You
see, Emil WAS one of those smart little
boys who thought be knew a great deal
better than his father and mother what
it was best for him to do; he thought
himself a very much abused boy be-
cause he was not allowed to follow
every inclination. But this journey
had taught him a lesson, and when he
received word that he was to be sent
back he was a happy and thankful boy,
and says that when he reaches home he
will show his father and mother how
sorry he is for the anxiety and trouble
he has caused them these last months.
