A New Disease in Cattle.

1t is reported that "a disease called
swell head has appeared among cattle
in the western stock yards" This dis
ease is exceedingly malignant and prac-
tically incurable. 1t is question,
however, if it is really q new disease.
1t is more likely to be an old and rather
common one, which has been recently
more accurately known and described
than heretofore. Without a close mi
croscopic examination it is not to be
distinguished from the common ''big
head or "big jaw" which first APP
pears as q tumor or swelling of the
jaw, and ends by death and destruction
of the bone, leading, of course. to a
miserably slow death of the animal by
blood-poisOning or by starvation. And
as it is exceedingly rare for the micro
scope to be made use of in the eXamin-
alton of diseased animal, there may
be every probability that this disease
has long been in existence here without
becoming identified until attention was
recently called to it in the columns of
the Anlerica1 Veterinary ReUictC, where
an accurate description of it was
given. From its nature it is con-
tagious, as it consists of a parasitic
fungus growth, which may begin on the
tongue or cheeks and soon spreads to
the bone; and the saliva of diseased
animal would, of course, communicate
the germs of the disease to any other
one which should take it into the mouth
upon food, or in water, or from q fouled
trough or Manager. There have been
cases in which several animals of q
herd have died, one after the other. at
intervals from what has been supposed
to be the common disease known by
surgeons as OSteo-parcomd, or tumor of
the bone. As the peculiar fungoid
growths of the so-called new disease, to
which the name 0ctinO-naykOSis has
been given, can only be seen by very
close examination, and Us the old and
the new one are both malignant and
incurable, and have precisely the same
apparent course, there may be meas
urable certainty that some of these
cases referred to may. have been of this
particular kind. just here we can only
call attention to the necessity for using
every precaution against this contagion
by keeping diseased animal isolated
or by slaughtering it as soon as the
disease is identified and has passed the
stage when it can be hopefully treated.
This precaution is especially required
in diaries, in which large majority of
the cases occur.-M Y. Tribune.

What Constitutes Judiclous Farming 2

Some years ago we heard farmer
who had become rich at the business
remark in conversation on what might
be called good or judicious farming,
that 1.-The test of good farming is that
every successive crop is better than the
one that preceded it, 70 obtain such
an evidence of skillful tillage, however,
for a large series of years, would of
course DE an impossibility, but to keep
the soil in such a state of fertility as to
insure a full and remunerative yield
when favored by the season, is an evil
dence of intelligent farming of by no
means common occurrence. We have
no fear of the ultimate prosperity of the
agnculturist who secures this encourage
ing result of his labors. We have seen
extensive and highly cultivated farms
by subsequent injudicious cultivation
degenerate into barrenness; and we
have not many miles to 90 to see the
once sterile sand plains of jersey by
systematic tillage literally rewarding
the proper labors Of the husbandman.
Land there that was formerly covered
with rank grasses, huckleberry bushes
and stunted pines, now yields in an
abundance the choicest varieties of
grapes, pears, cherries and apples, and
all the tield-crops that can be proftablv
grown in the adjacent States Good
tillage having developed the true char
acter of this once comparatively I'M
productive soil, has in many localities
enhanced its pecuniary value, and there
are plenty of instances where a quarter
of q century ago land that could not be
sold for five dollars an acre would not
now be disposed of for hundred dol
lars an acre, Thus, as the value of the
soil of New Jersey for agricultural pur-
poses becomes disclosed, the quantity
and worth of her grain, fruit and yege-
table products steadily increase, and
will continue to.do so. And all this is
the result of what we simply call judi
ciouS farming, and it answers the ques-
ton which is asked at the START Ger
n1G11tOIOD Telegraph.

Naked Bits for Horses.

San Experienced Horseman, in the
kentucky Lire Stock Record, reminds
those who have the handling of horses
of the cruelty of which they may be
carelessly guilty;
''Let any one who has the care of
horses these cold, frosty mornings de-
liberately grasp in his hand a piece of
iron; indeed, let him touch it to the tip
of his tongue, and then let him thrust
the bit into the mouth of the horse if he
has the heart to do it, The horse is an
animal of nervous organization. His
mouth is formed of delicate glands and
tissues. The temperature of the blood
is the same as in the human being, and,
as in man, the mouth is the warmest
part of the body. Imagine, we repeat,
the Irritation that it would be to the
human. and, if not to same degree, still
the suffering to the animal is very great.
And it is not a momentary pain. Food
is eaten with difficulty, and the irrita-
ton repeated day after day causes loss
of appetite and strength Many horse
has become worthless from no other
cause than this. Before india-rubber
bits were to be had myself used bit
covered with leather, and on no account
would have dispensed with it in freez-
ing weather"

There are two weighty reasons,
says writer in the Farnljnq WORTH,
for shallow culture. First, corn hilled
up will blow down more readily; it
checks the spreading of the roots,
which naturally run far out near the
surface of the ground. | am speaking
OF the top roots, not the deep running
ones, now, the killing tending to con-
fine the surface roots to the hill
weakens the hold Of the stalk upon the
ground. When the surface roots have
their own way they grasp the ground,
.anchoring the corn. Killing confines
many Of the roots to small feeding
grounds. Let nature have her course
in this particular.

A Cure for Neuralgia.

The latest agent introduced for the
relief of neuralgia is a one per cent. So
luton of hyperosmic acid, administered
by simultaneous injection. 1t has been
employed in Billroth's clinic in a few
cases. One of the patients had been a
martyr to sciatica for years, and had
tried innumerable remedies, including
the application of electricity no fewer
than two hundred times, while for a
whole year he had adopted vegetarian
ism. Billroth injected the above remedy
between the tuber ischii and trochanter,
and within q day or two the pain was
greatly relieved and eventually quite
disappeared. 1t would be rash to con-
clude too mnch from these results, in
the face of the intractability of neu-
ralgia to medication, but if it really
prove to be as eificacious as considered,
hyperosmic acid will be q therapeutic
agent of no mean value.-The Lancet.

An Important Opinion by an Eminent New

A correspondent of the Syracuse IN. W

" In the spring OF the year | make it an
invariable rule to help nature clean house,

This man is a philosopher as well as
jurist. The early spring is natures "house
cleaning" time. Then the blood is full Of
the impurities OF the long winter. Nature
needs assistance in this work, for if the
publication be not complete, the system is
liable to attacks of pneumonia, chills and
fever, malaria, rheumatism, liver and kid
ney and blood disorders, headaches, bowel
arrangements, and the facilitating effects
of summer heat. The use of pure vege-
table, non-alcoholic preparation is then all
important.
"No, should not like my name to be,
used publicly, but you may say,' said the,
jurist, THAT the only medicine use is DR..
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, of
Rondout, N. "a most excellent prepare.
ton, which l always warmly commend to
my friends everywhere" The Favorite
Remedy has been twenty years in use, and
it is said that it is pleasant to take, cures
in ninety per cent of cases, and can harm
no one. 1t challenges the fullest compari.
son as q preventive and curative. 1t is
purely vegetable, non-alcoholic, and can
be used with the utmost safety by children
and adults. We do not wonder that it has
the cordial Endorsement OF the best ply
