FROM A PROMINENT LAwYER.-Maj.
J. II. Whitner of Greenville, S. c. says:
"whiIst I do not regard Norman's Neutral
izing Cordial as universal Pt0lacea, yet it
affords me pleasure to say that have used
it with much benefit to self and family in
all affections OF the bowels SO usual in our
section of the country during the Summer
season. Indeed never use any other med

HoLLoW-HoRN.-No allusion has ever
been made by the authors of standard works
or text books on veterinary science to
such a disease as horn-ail, and surely,
in the present advanced state of veteri-
nary science, if there had been the slight
est preteXt on which to base theory OF
the existence of such malady, it would
have been fully discussed before this by
some one of our many eminent writer's.
The pathological conditions on which the
absurd theory Of horn-ail seems to be found
ed, are heat and coldness of the horns.
These are the principal, and, in fact, only
symptoms which the unlearned eXpounders
of popular malady have given us. But
every one ought to be aware that variations
in temperature of part 50 inferiorly organ
lied as the horns are, is no criterion as re-
CARDS the nature of the disease which occa-
sions in this vicinity, merely an increase
or decrease of temperature. The actual
disease, which occasions loss or increase OF
temperature of the external surface of the
body, horns included, may be, and often is,
located either in the brain, stomach or bow.
els, and at other times is the result OF local
congestion of the lungs and other parts
mere effects-the result of pre-eXistlng dl-
sease; it is very evident that the term
horn-ail, which used to express the condi-
ton of parts sympathetically affected or
aroused, throws no light on the true nature
of the disease under which the animals
labor.

TREATMENT FOR PEACH TREEs.-Mr. L..
A. Goodman, of Westport, Mo-, one of the
best informed fruit growers in the State,
writes to the Kansas City Journal the follow
ing excellent advice for the management of
peach trees that have suffered from the re-
cent cold weather:
1t matters not if the wood is colored badly
and looks dead. Get you good pair OF
shears, and saw and cut off tops of all the
peach trees. If trees are five or six years
old, or from one to four years planted, cut
the tops off with the shears. On the youn-
ger trees cut about two thirds of the past
years growth; on the older trees cut down
to the two or even three year old wood.
Make the tops round and shapely, and you
will find that they will recover very finely
this season, and will make good, compact
trees, ready to produce fruit next year.
The peach is a tree that will recover itself
and make rapid growth if we'll pruned
back. If there is only life enough left for
the sap to start up the tree, the new wood
will form over the old wood, and they will
look as healthy as new trees,
But if you leave the whole of the top, the
chances are that you will never have good
trees, even if they should live at all, which
very much question. On old trees take a
good saw and cut all the tops off about six
or eight or ten feet from the ground. Never
mind if it does look as ifit would ruin them.
A peach will recover if it has only a short
distance to send the sap through the diseased
wood, whereas if it had flowed to the tips
of the trees, it would flow so slow that it
would soon be checked by drying up.
If the root good, a tree will recover won
derfully, but if the root is much injured,
they had better be cut down.
The more trees are injured the more they
should be cut back, is the sure ruleto follow.
If you would examine any old peach tree,
you would find only two or three years of
good sound wood next to the bark; this
Shows that often the trees have been COM
PEELED to form new wood over diseased wood
and if you can get vigorous start early in
spring, it matters not how much tree is in
iured, it is sure to recover. The time to do
this cutting is early in the spring before the
trees start their growth, and as soonas freez-
ing is over with.
In fact may say that the best peach
growers in the West do this pruning every
two years at the farthest, and the trees also
show the close compact growth, and not the
loose, struggling growth so generally seen.
If you once adopt this plan, you will always
follow it.
