cause them to vacate in short order.
Pinch off all of the seed buds or pips

it should be changed two or three times
daily.
Horse owners can take advantage of
an English remedy for crib biting.
Nail piece of sheepskin. about eight
inches in width, the enure length of the

Buttermilk mullins have but to be

An exchange tells us how to attach
labels to iron or tin. a cement which
resists damp and firmly attaches labels
to TIN work consists of paste of rye
meal and solution of glue and water,
to which as much Venetian turpentine
is added as may be required. Ordinary
-four paste when made, and some gly-
cerine thoroughly incorporated with it,
does very well for fixing printed labels
on tin or sheet iron boxes,
The great secret of finding grain well
is to use a thick band Draw the band
large band you will make it very tight
nd q Nv ha
make before tucking If you use a

secret of easy binding, for you have the

force.-EJ.
The Scientific american quotes a
remedy for malaria, used by an eminent
physician, and which is said to have
proved efficacious when quinIne has
given no relief. Cut up lemon, both
peel and pulp, into thin slices, and boil
it in pint and a half of water until
it is reduced to half a pint. Strain
through linen cloth, Squeezing the
remains of the boiled lemon. and set it
aside until cold. The entire liquid is to

The following is an excellent recir e
for the alienation of a morbid desire
for liquor: Sulphate of iron, five
grains; magnesla, ten grains; pepper
whitewater, eleven drachms; spirit of
nutmeg, one drachm. 1t is to be taken
twice day, and will not harm an ex-
cftable and delicate system. 1t acts as
tonic and stimulant, and SO partially
supplies the place of the accostumed
"toddy." while it prevents the physical
and mental prostration that sometimes
follows sudden attempt at total alb
stinence. The quantity given above is
for one dose.
Another correspondent says: l am
surprised that a remedy used forty
years ago is not better known by stock
men of to-day. l have been engaged
for forty-hve years past in breeding and
raising stock, and in all my experience
with this disease | have never known it
to tail in single case. The disease APP
pears among my cattle almost every
spring, but as yet L have not lost
single animal. The remedy consists of
one pound each of saltpeter and COM
mon salt, ground and well mixed. One
half teacupful dry is given at Dose
After this severe exercise should be
given, lasting for twenty minutes. A
second dose is seldom required.
Speaking of blackleg disease among
cattle, the correspondent of an exchange
saws: When DR.. Hurn, of the signal
service, was here, some seven or eight
years ago, described the post norton
appearance of an animal that had died
of black-leg. He advised me to try
drenching with strong salt brine. and
[ am happy to say that accepted his
advice, and have not since lost either
COW or calf. Put one-haIf pint of salt
into quart bottle, fill with water, shake
well, and give about halt as the first
dose; in about an hour give the re-
mainder, and one hour later repeat.
The following day the same operation
should be again repeated have used
this remedy in the case of sick horses
with satisfactory results.
When the finger or hand. toe or foot.
