The following, which we find in the
Northwestern Live Stock Journal, Of
Cheyenne, Wyoming. will be Of interest
to stock-growers:
This (blaokleg) is a subject that will
not down. So sudden and fatal is the
disease, there is no wonder that the
farmer far removed from the veterinary
surgeon or cattle raisers Of long and
careful experience should frequently ap-
peal to agricultural editors for advice.
This week We have two Of his class Of
inQuirers, who want infallible remedies,
and they want them now" Therefore,
we have given advice Of our own, and
the best veterinary surgeons. For the
accommodation Of friends in this case we
give the course Of treatment Of two emf.
nently practical men, whose experience
has been long and whose names are
household idols---John Wentworth, Of
Chicago, and James s. Brisbin, now Of
Idaho. Hon. John Wentworths receipt,

At Loves Gate.

Love came to me one summer day
Amid the mounds Of fragrant hay,
Laughed in my face, and went his way.
Again, when autumn woods aaame
With gold and scarlet were, he came.
And whispered low dainty name.
And when the hills grew white with snow.
And high north winds began to blow.
He passed me by with footsteps slow.
And now wonder will he bring
His priceless gift when rob ins sing.
And blossoms feck the path Of springl
For by the roadway to his gate
Clad as BELTS my lowly state,
Humbly, suppliant Iwait!
