The Tobacco Remedy,

Gen. Clingman of North Caroline
has recently written a work on the
curative properties of tobacco
which is attracting much attention
Mr.. E. Vessear in late issue o.
the Home and Farm says:
About year ago my horse be-
came very lame and had fever in
his foot and the frog was swollen
with throbbling sensations. At noon
1 applied tobacco leaf and wet
rags, and turned on the grass.
About three hours afterward he
jumped the fence. The next day
put. him to the wagon, and went
twenty miles. My daughter, in run
ming after the cow, sprained her an
kle and IN a few minutes it was
swollen. We applied tobacco.
She went to sleep, and when she
awoke the ankle was tender but the
swelling was entirely gone.
My wife and son had corns and bun
ions on their feet. Two or three
applications az night cured them.
There is nothing better TOR rheuma-
tism than tobacco. 1t will kill lice
on cattle and chickens. Tobacco is
good for every thing. 1 know doc
tors who use it with wonderful re-
suits. For our part we believe in
tobacco.

What Aunt Matilda Thought About

The other morning when l had
finished my marketing l ran in to
see Mrs. Mason. had it upon my
mind to ask her for a new pattern
for wrapper, and so found an ex-
cuse for resting my weary feet.
She opened the door herself, and

lace in the neck and sleeves, and if

flowers in her hair, and that was all

afternoon. could not help looking
at her, for she was picture. After
l had explained my errand, Mrs.
Mason and 1 fell to talking about
one thing and another. At last our

On the occasion, when her husband

anxiety to know the latest. She

New Orleans Picayune, Ian. %, 1854.
Mr.. Matthias Doll, business place No.

street, between Jeanne and Bartholomew,
New Orleans, has been most intense
sufferer from kidney trouble (diabetes) for
the last six long and weary years. He
said to us: Even earlier than that fire.
uuently suffered from pain in the back,
and frequent making of water, but gave 1t
no Thought until about the time stated,
when the almost constant desire to make
water became uncomfortable. The pain in
the back. and sometimes in the legs, made
me so lame at times that could scarcely
walk. I consulted one of the best doctors
in this CITY, and was under his constant
treatment for one entire year without de-
irving the least benefit / then consulted
from time to time, during the last five or
sly years. six other physicians, each one
etandino in the front rank Of the medical
profession in New Orleans, and though l
sometimes was little relieved OF some
excrlciating suffering, yetuPon the whole

sDects much worse. My limbs became so
swollen and sore that ! could not cross
nv legs when sitting on chaIr-al OF
which. they said, was caused by diabetes.
then tried some highly laudcd patent
medicine. Bat they all turned out to be
hurnbugs. l had given up all hopes OF
ever getting relief, much less being cured,
when I noticed in the papers some won
derlui cures that PERUNA had made IN
this city, as prescribed by DIR. Hartman,
giving the name and address of each per-
SON treated. I called to. see him; he at
once prescribed his PERUNA, which Is not
over three weeks. ago. I am so much
better that if / would not improve any
more, would not for any amount that
had not placed myself under his treat
ment. All my pain and lameness is gone.
The swelling and stiffness in my legs has
disappeared, and instead of making water
every fifteen minutes, I now make It once
in three hours during the day, and only
twice in a whole night. ] am, indeed,
quite we'll again. Don't hesitate, don't
saw humbug, but get the PERUNA at once
and take it as its printed label directs, or,
if YOU think this is only an advertisement,
and not strictly true, call and see me and
see for yourself"

HORSE AND HoRsEMAN,

Cooking food for horses is held
in high esteem by those who have
tried it.
The revenues from raising horses
could be made one of the greatest
sources of profit on the farm if
properly handled.
When the mud is deepest is the
time to load the lightest Remem-
her that overlooking is the cause
of many balky horses.
The man who put off getting his
horses in condition for hard work
until spring opened up, now finds
out his mistake.
Those who breed the best grades
Of draft horses need have no fears
of the market being over stocked
Tor years to come or of low prices
ruling for horses of good quality.
Horse markets continue slow.
and values have advanced but little
since the opening of spring. The
demand is confined entirely to good.
heavy draft and fine roadsters and
carriage horses.
If you would have your horses
get the greatest benefit from their
feed, give them sufficient time TO
masticate it before you put them
to work after a meal. 1t will be
time well spent.
A good halter which would cost
less than two dollars may save the
life Of a horse worth two hundred
dollars. 1t is poor economy to fas-
ten horses in the stable with cheap
and dangerous halters.
Make the burden of the horses as
light as you can by keeping the
plows in good condition. A sharp
pillow point will sometimes save a
great deal of strength in the team,
besides doing more effective work.
Feed with view to give vigor
and strength, rather than to put
ting on flesh. An over fat horse is
in as bad condition to stand work
as poor one. 1t is not the meat
but the muscle that does the work.
Give the light horses the light
work. They may be able to pull
heavy loads or endure hard strains,
but they will be none the better for
having 1t to do. If you would have
your horses last never overload
them.
One of the best requirements for
a man who raises and handles
horses is good, common sense.
To make a success of his business
he must have liberal allowance
of this much need ingredient, and
the more he has the better he is
qualified for his work.
Horses will get more rest out of
their Sundays by being allowed the
freedom of a field or lot, than by
being kept tied up in the stable.
They need exercise every day and
If they have no work to do they
should be given the liberty of a
place where they can romp'as they
like.
The fictitious value and the true
value OF a horse often differ greatly.
a man who owns a horse has the
privilege of considering him worth
any sum whatever, bu5 the true
value of a horse, in dollars and
cents, is unquestionably just what
it will bring when placed upon the
market and sold.

ItEs,is we'll to remember that no
money can be made keeping poor
sheep, any more than it can be made
keeping poor stock of any other
