Try it.
Keep good look out for cholera
among your chickens. If it appears
clean up the place and thoroughly dis
infect with carbolic acid. The best
remedy is four parts of hyposulphite of
soda, and one part boracic acid. Dose
"a tablespoonful, moistened with water
and poured down the throat.
EQUAL parts of powdered borax, Persian
insect powder and powdered colocynth
well mixed together, and thrown about
such spots as are infested with cock
reaches will prove an effectual means
of getting rid of these troublesome in
seets. This powder. in all cases where
its use has been persistent, has by long
experience been found an infallible
remedy.
One of the minor trials in railway
travel arises from cinders in the eye. A
simple and effective cure may be found
in one or two grains of fiaxseed, which
can be placed in the eye without pam or
injury. AS they dissolve glutinous
substance is formed. which envelopes
any foreign body that may be under
the hid, and the whole is washed out.
A dozen of these seeds should constitute
part of every travellers outfit.
A lady correspondent sends the Bee
Eeeper's Guide this recipe for honey cake

two eggs. two cupfuls of honey, two
and one-half pints of -four, two tea
spooDfuls baking powder, one teaspoon
full extract of Peppermint Mix into
smooth batter. This makes two cakes.
Bake thirty minutes in moderate oven.
If you want jelly cake, bake thin, pile

1t has become a custom in this west
eTn country, to fence tracts of lands for
the purpose of breeding grade bulls.
The cattle for this purpose are imported
from the states, where for generations
they have been bred to shelter and hay
stacks. These animals are turned into
large pastures, with no other shelter
than a wire fence and partially fed on
hay or left to rustic. The result of this
great change, is the development of
disease, from lack of nutritious food
and exposure.-ET.
A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
states that he has had excellent success
in raising and feeding peas to swine.
He plants the little Canada pea, one
and one-haf bushel mixed with the
same amount of oats to the acre drilled
in. The oats are to help the peas stand
up. The ground is plowed early,
MANFRED well. and narrowed fine They
are harvested with common revolving
rake, left in windrows until cured, and
then stacked in rail pens. Swine with
rings in their noses are then turned IN
to pick up the shelled peas or those
which the rake left After this they are
fed the stacked peas on which they
corn per head to harden up the pork.
wiH fit them for an early market
Sandy soil is best for peas Should you
have any left after feeding, they may be
thrashed and ground for young stock.
This is good way to enrich a poor field
or spot on the farm.
After the land is prepared for cab
bages or any other crop needing pro-
lection, place cabbage or turnip leaves
in rows Is or 20 feet apart all over the
field, and about the same distance apart
in the rows. The leaves are first dipped
in a welI-stirred mixture of a table
spoonful of Paris green to bucket of
water; or they may be first moistened,
then busted with mixture of one part
Paris green to twenty of -four, and
placed carefully with the busted surface
next to the ground. Two such applica-
tons, particularly in cloudy weather,
at intervals of three or four days, will
suffice to allow the cut-worms to make
way with themselves, which they gen.
orally do with perfect success. This
plan first recommended by Professor
Riley, is the best yet found. Whoever
adopts it viii rid himself of the pest at
least cost and trouble, and will not be
compelled to replant constantly or to
SOW his seed thickly.
4 physician writing to a medical
journal says: The following recipe is at
your service: it is by far the best cure
for catarrh l have ever met. After suf- |
fering from that disease for forty years
I was cured-or, should say nearly |
cured-for 1 have had an occasional |
return of the trouble in milder form |
by few applications. 1t has also |
reached desperate cases:
Take thirty drops of carbohc acid, |
thirty drops of chloroform, ninety drops |
OF glycerine. Mix. For dose, put three
hold over a lamp and inhale the fume |
as it evaporates.
The fumes are inhaled in the nostrils. |
They grow more and more pungent,
and the patient will know when
he has had as much as is agree
able. Use it once in twenty |
four hours for four or FIVE days, then |
discontinue for a few days, and repeat |
as before if the cure is not affected
Pasture time has come again. Pre-
pare your stock for the change in their |
food gradually Do not turn them |
out topasture while the grass is short. I
Do not turn stock into new and rank |
clover, when wet with dew. Do no
leave them in such clover fields too long |
for the first few days. Working horses |
should not be turned out into the pas
ture. Keep and feed them in the stable. |
Then they will not waste their strength |
in useless frolic, and you can find them
when heir services are needed.
If, however, you must pasture them,
take some oats, meal, or salt with you
into the field, and teach your horses
to come to you when you call them. |
Kindness is cheap and effective. Your
horses will not come to you if you lose
your temper and throw stones and /
sticks. and = worst of abuse profane
language at them. Keep working |
