give great relief to persons troubled with
a Dough. The heat of the water is suf-
ficient to throw off the aroma of the
resin, and gives the same relief that is

same resin may be used for weeks.
Some one asked DR.. Faville. the vet
erinarian of the Colorado agricultural
college, through the columns of the Fort

hollow-horn and tail. The doctor re-
piled that if such q disease existed pre-
vention was preferable to cure, and he
recommended breeding from Polled
bulls and bOb-tailed cows. Guess that

says: Potatoes should be left above sur

being dug. Protect at night from frost.

A correspondent of the Dairymdn says
he had a fine Jersey COW attacked with
a disease OF the udder, one-fOurth of it
becoming swollen, making it difficult for
the animal to walk. That one teat
would not yield any milk, but instead
StringY bloody matter. Not then know
ing how to remedy it, she became worse
and he was compelled TO sell her TO the
butcher. Since then he had another
COW attacked, and has cured her entire
~ and perfectly, by using the tobacco
cure. Hemade strong tea by sleeping
tobacco leaves in hot water; and also
an ointment by stewing the tobacco
leaves in lard. Bathed the udder Tor
milk bag) thoroughly with the warm tea
and afterwards rubbed it with the ONT
ment, carefully, twice each day, after
having first MIXED out every drop he
could obtain from the teats. Also gave
cattle powder internally. In four DAYS
the COW was well and giving the usual
quantity of milk.
Professor Sanborn says: 1.-THE COM
plant that stock will not eat corn-fodder
well, or over One-fourth to one-third of
it, arises from our method, or lack of
method, in securing it. Most OF our
corn IS allowed to stand as it grew, and
to have its nutrition washed out of it,
and then it IS fed where it grew. to cattle
rowing through the field. The bleached
stuff is little liked and little eaten. A
few cut it and put it into large shocks,
but not until after the corn is dead ripe
1t should be cut while the stalks are yet
green, the corn being in the latter stages
OF the dough state, or before the kernel
IS to hard to crush easily in the fingers
and before it IS dry throughout.
Professor Cans has found our fruits
are threatened seriously by pests, and
he calls attention to the only way of
ayerting their wholesale destruction,
namely: The concerted action of all our
orchardists for the killing of these pests.
he has discovered three varieties of
scale in our town orchards. The Red
(ASp5d AiIrdntii), on an orange on the
north part of town; the Aspid Merit on
an oleander in the lower part Of town.
The ASpid RQpdr has been found IN a
number of gardens. All these scales
may be removed by the plentiful use OF
sOap-suds, hot as the hand can bear
them. Specimens of the woody AphiS
have also been found. This pest has
been very destructive and hard to get
rid OF. a wash made of whale oil soap
five parts, one part potash and thirty
parts water, when sprayed has proven
a good exterIninator. The green Aphis
and the black readily yield to the use OF
soap-suds or tobacco decoction.-[EG.
When the feet are damp and cold, it
is impossible to keep well. There will
be cough or sore throat, or hoarSeness,

If cold and dry, the feot should be
soaked in hot water for ten minutes
every night, and when wiped and dried,

On getting up in the morning, dip both
feet at once into water as cold as the air

If the feet are damp and cold, attend

night always remove the stockings, and
hold the feet to the. fire, rubbing them
with the hands for fifteen minutes, and

Under any circumstances, az long as
the feet are cold enough to at

and hold them to the fire; if the feet are
much inclined TO dampness put on
pair of dry stockings, leaving the damp
ones before the fire TO be ready for an
other change.
Some persons feet are more comfort

in wooden stockings. Each must be
guided by his own feelings. Sometimes
two pairs of thin stockings keep the feet
