How to Make Cucumber Pickles.

Scientific American.
For those who care to know how to
prepare pickles (cucumbers) for the
market or for home use, 1 give a cou-
pie of as good recipes as ever were
practiced, and better than most that
have been published. l know about
what l talk on this subject from
eleven years of practice. No. |. Gu
cumbers for immediate use may be
picked by making a brine-a satura-
ted solution of salt, all the salt the
water will take up; cover the cucum-
bers with it, adding water if neces-
sary. The brine will act sufficiently
in one night if poured on hot; if cold,
give it twenty-fOur hours. Drain,
and pack in a jar and scald vinegar
with cloves, cinnamon, and a lump
of alum big as a marble for two gall
Ions of cucumbers. Pour the spiCed
vinegar hot on the cucumbers and
add a piece Of horseradish root large
as a human finger, and if desired two
or three green peppers. These pick
les are ready in three days, and with
the horseradish will keep indefinite
ly. If the whole root of horseradish
is not at hand, use some of the grated
horseradish for the table.
No. > For family use or the mar
ket, as occasion requires; pack the
cucumbers in salt, "the coarse fine
salt" is best, covering them proper
! ly. When needed for picking, fresh
en- them in water three days, chang
ing the water twice, or four days if
they are desired fresh, and add cold
vinegar, spice if wanted, and the
piece Of horseradish. J. II. l..

Another Cancer.

About three years ago there appear
ed on my right breast several hard
Jumps which gave me almost intoler-
a bic pain. They continued to grow,
and finally developed into what the
doctors called cancer of the breast.
In a short time found my strength
gone and my constitution total
wreck. From a robust woman / was
reduced to helpless invalid. Several
of the best physicians of Atlanta
treated me for cancer, but without
improving my condition in the least,
and finally agreeing that they could
do nothing more for me. The cancer
by this time was eating out my very
life, and for five months was help
less, bed-ridden creature. AboutOne
year ago, at thesuggestion of a friend,
| commenced the use Of SWift's Spe-
cific. The first influence of the medi-
cine was to increase the discharge,
but after month or more / began to
improve, and this wonderful medi-
cine has brought back my health
again. now do all my own house
work, l am perfectly free from pain,
and feel like a new person altogether.
| cannot feel too grateful for this
wonderful recovery, for l am salts
fed if it had not been for Swift's Spe-
cific I would have been in my grave
today. | most cheerfully recon-
mend it to all those who are suffering
with this fearful disease.

ing profitable. 1t puts one ahead
with his work, so he does not feel
compelled to work his horses when it
is excessively warm, at heavy work,
but can take some lighter job till
cooler day comes. If 1 were a horse,
| should feel good every time my
owner got load Of tiles.
Now, while l am talking about
horses, | want to say that no farmer
can afford to get along without a box
of Moore Bros gall powders, which
are often advertised in your columns.
/ used to have two horses that would
always have sore shoulders in warm
weather, in spite of all | could do. l
got box of the gall powder, and it
healed them right up while at work,
and little put on now and then kept
them well, and | have had no trouble
of the kind since. | never invested
a dollar better. If the horses could
speak, they would thank DR.. Moore.
1t may be well to say that many
horses are fed too much hay. A horse
may eat himself poor, with hay be-
fore him all the time, particularly if
he is idle. | would have the hay
choice, and feed only what they will
eat up clean in two hours in the
morning, and one hour or one and q
half at noon, and two at night, ordi-
narily. When worked very hard,
we give them all they will eat up
clean during the night. The best
horseman | ever knew once told me !:
"If you want to work a horse hard,
the best time to feed him is the night
before" Your correspondent will
see by this time, perhaps, that the
quality of the hay, although impOr-
tant, is not the only thing necessary.
will close by quoting a remark
made to me by first-class veterinary
surgeon. He said in substance: "It
all farmers would feed their work
horses and care for them as you do,
my business would be about ruined"
Dried grass is wholesome as well as
nutritious. OF course, slim built
horses for fast driving should not be
fed in this way.

Sutures are simply stitches used to tie
or sew the edges orsurface of a wound
together. They are used of various
materials, such as thread, horsehair,
cat-gut, and wire.
Nothing further need be said about
the application of these, since their
insertion into a wound should always
be left to a veterinary surgeon. In a
punctured or a confused or lacerated
wound, where the surfaces cannot be
maintained together, or where in
flammation ensues in such a wound,
then the treatment must be that ia
vorable to healing by the second in
tention. Inflammation, shown by
redness, swelling, and great tender
ness of the edges of the wound,
should be combatted by assiduous
bathing with hot water. In a con-
fused and lacerated wound, such as
"broken knees" particles of sand
and other foreign matter must be
carefully and lightly spOnged from
the surface; in punctured wounds, or
stabs, it must be made certain that
nothing remains in the bottom of the
wound ; and in all classes Of wounds
healing in this way, provision must
be made to allow the discharge from
the wound a ready escape.
With the last object it is often
necessary, in a punctured would, to
enlarge the opening, or to make
what is called a "counter-opening"
that is, one running from the surface
upward to the deepest part Of the
wound. The necessity for a free es-
cape from a punctured wound is seen
in the case Of "pricks" of the feet.
These are generally simple in their
effects if the track of the nail be care
fully followed and enlarged; but if
not, the nail-hOle is apt to become Oh
structed, and prove insufficient for
the escape of the discharge from the
wound. In that case the discharge
accumulates within the hOof, and
gradually forces its way toward the
surface, in the direction of least re-
sistance, and hence comes to burst
out at the top Of the hoof. In all
wounds union is promoted by putting
the part at rest. In the case of such
large animals as the horse this is al.
ways extremely difficult; and some.
times it may be necessary to put the
animal in slings.
Healthy wounds are seldom much
benefited by the application Of lotions
or ointments. When the wound il
of small size it is best to leave it un
covered; and, if it be in summer, i
may be smeared with zinc ointment
or with forty parts Of olive oil to one
of carbolic acid. In large wounds
the surface should be lightly covered
with cloth kept wet with solution
Of carbOlic acid in forty parts 0
water. When a wound shows wha
is called "proud flesh" it should b'
: rubbed over at its most prominen
part with sulphate Of copper, (blue
stone), or washed with a solution con
: tanning two ounces of sugar to pint
bottle of water.

Wounds in Animals.


New England farmer.
There are two principal methods,
writes an English veterinary surgeon,
by which wounds are repaired. The
first Of these, and the more favorable
of the two, is the method termed by
surgeons healing by the first inten-
ton, Under favorable circumstances
this takes place in an incised wound
when the cut surfaces are brought
carefully together and maintained in
close contact after bleeding has ceas-
ed. The two surfaces then be-
come cemented together by the for
nation of a thin, intermediate layer
of new tissue.
The other principal mode Of repair
is healing by the second intensiOn.
That is what take place in large in
cised wounds when the cut surfaces
cannot be brought and maintained in
opposition, and it is the invariable
method of repair in punctured and
lacerated wounds. Here the gap in
the texture becomes filled up by the
growth of new material, taking place
from the bottom of the wound, while
a new skin grows inwards from the
edge of the wound. This skin, how
ever, is not exactly similar to the
natural healthy skin from which it
extends, beingthinner, more delicate,
and without any hair,
A third and much rarer process of
healing wounds is what is termed
immediate union. In this, it is said,
the divided surfaces being brought
into accurate contact, unite without
the intermediate growth of any new
texture. 1t is questionable if such is
really the case, but it is certain that
sometimes in small wounds the cut
surfaces when placed together unite
so speedily and exactly that no scar
is left. In an incised wound, treat
ment in the first instance should be
directed toward favoring union by
the first intention. The essentials are
"a sound constitution on the part OF
the animal, accurate and close con-
tact with the divided surface, and the
absence Ofinhammationin theWOund.
Without mans interference this pro
cess would seldom or never ensue in
the lower animals, for in all wounds
except the smallest the cut surface,
cape apart, unless some means be
adopted to keep them together The
) means commonly adopted by sur
geons for this purpose are the appli
cation Of strips Of plaster acresS the
surface of the wound, or the passing
of sutucS through its edge. lnadopt
ing the former plan, a few strips, &C
cording to the length Of the wound
should be applied at intervals, bu
the entire surface should've be en-
tirely covered by the plaster. Tn,
surfaces, moreover, should not bt
brought together until bleeding ha
, been arrested, for should a clot o
blood be effused into the wound

A. H. Stephens.

The following letter was written TO
one of the two biographerS of the late
Alexander II. Stephens, OF Georgia.
who was chosen by himself to write
his life. The gentleman, now in this
city, was present with Mr.. Stephens in
his last hours, and knowing how Mr..
Stephens estimated the general, felt
sure the regard was reciprocal. His
own acquaintance with Gen. Grant
having been limited to one interview
across the lines at Vicksburg. and to
letters, the request TO which the fol-
lowing is the reply was sent by
their mutual friend, Gen. James Long
street.
NEW YORK, June IA, 1sS3.-DEAR
SIR; Your letter of the 18th of MAY,
inclOsed to me by Gen. Longstreet, in
which you ask few words from me
in regard to my estimate OF the late
Alexander ii. Stephens, reached my
Office during my absence in the west.
Since that time | have been in my office
but three or four days, and, finding an
accumulation of letters, which am
not yet through the disposal of, is my
apology for not answering you at an
earlier day. l Inever had the pleasure
of personal acquaintance with Mr..
Stephens until he, with Mr.. Hunter
and Judge Campbell, visited my head
quarters at City Point, Va, during the
last year of the civil war. | had, how
ever, known him by reputation for
many years, and placed a high esti-
mate upon his character and ability,
as well as craftsmanship. Our per-
sonal acquaintance, though we differed
SO widely in matters affecting our COM
mon country, only served to increase
my admiration for the man. As un-
dersrood, without being a man of large
means, he devoted largely from what
he could earn to 'the greatest good of
the greatest number. Through him
many deserving young man has
found the means of acquiring fine
education to give him start in the
world, and in most cases, If am cor
rectly informed, he has been COM
pensated for his generosity by seeing
those who had these favors conferred
do honor to their benefactor.
SIN all his public utterances Mr..
Stephens impressed me as q man who
was never afraid to speak his honest
convictions without regard as to wheth-
er they would be popularity received or
not. To the day of his death Iretained
the high estimate of his life and char-
acter formed before | knew him, in
creased by personal acquaintance.
Very truly yours, U. S. GRANT.
1t may be said that two copies of the
above letter exist, both in the hand of
the great general, and that the second
one was made with rare delicacy,
seemingly to correct the inadvertent
use Of The word rebellion" which was
corrected in the second copy to read
