Hog Cholera.

In regard TO sulphur for this lis
ease, tt me tell you some more about
it. When my ten hogs were dead,
there we're Two more that would in all
prob .bility have diei in few hours.
The object was to get sulphur into
them, but, as with the ten that were
dead, we could find nothing they
would drink or eat finally one of my
children suggested trying sweet ap
piles, which as last rssort tried. |
took out the cores of two sweet apples
and filled the cavities with sulphur
An apple was tossed to each hog, and
they ate them much to my surprise.
This was toward night, and | e1 pect-
ed to find them dead in the morning :;
but in the morning they were alive
and wanted something to eat, and they
entirely recovered. Since then when
ever hear hog cough give sulphur
to them all and have lost none. We
sll probably know how penetrating
sulphur is. If We hold some in the
closed hand until it is warm, in few
hours we can smell it issuing from the
pores Of the skin and otherwise. The
human itch 10 living parasite in the
skin; sulphur will kill it and make a
cure. A hogs coughing indicates that
there is something the matter with
his lungs, and as sulphur will stop
the cough, We infer that it had worm
parasites in its lungs.

Seed Corn and Wheat-Salt.

To DO entirely safe and produce the
best results, corn for seed should be
selected from the hill or stalk, choos-
ing those having two or more ears on
the stalks, selecting the best ears of
the lot; then wreath them up in
bunches of three to six by the husks,
and hang them up in = dry place
where they will be free from frost or
freezing, until time to plant; when
ready to plant soak the seed in strong
salt brine, six or eight hours, dry it
in fine lime for planting; this will
cause all the seed to come up quicker
and more evenly, and less liable to de-
struction by bugs and worms. A sim
liar preparation of seed wheat will
give equally good results of that crop.
l both cases the increased yield and
improved grain will much more than
pay the extra expense. Sslt-two to
five barrels to the acre spread broad
cast, will give increase of present crop,
wheat or corn, more than the cost, and
also greatly benefit succeeding crops

Use of Tobacco Stems.

Earnest Walker, Of Indiana, speaks
in the Gardeners Monthly of the value
of tobacco stems placed at the root Of
peach trees. He makes the claim that
thsy will destroy the borer and possess
value as mulch and fertilizer. That
tobacco stems possess fertilizing val
he is fully understood in the Connec
ticut valley, where it is a principal
crop and where it is largely employ d
as a fertilizer, especially the stems and
refus: that come from the manufact-
ories in New York. Even the coars-
est stalks of tobacco, after the strip
ping Of the leaves, have considerable
value and have been largely utilized
Some years ago we tried chopped to-
bacco stalks in the hill with potatoes
with good results. There WAS one i'm
portant advantage shown in their use,
and that was that the tubers were free
from insect depredations and smooth
and nice. How great the influence
may be on the bnrer of the peach tree
We are unable to say, but imagine that
if the stems we're packed closely to the
tree at the surface Of the ground
where they commit heir depredations,
they would serve good purpose. If
the coarse stalks and stems and refn.e
of tobacco can be utilized in any wav,
its growth may not be considered an

Surface MISUNDERSTANDING.

Natures mode of manuring and pre-
serving fertility of soil is by spread
ing nearly everything on the surface
and nature in most cases is = safe
guide. Leaves in forests, and grass
and weeds on prairies and fel are
deposited on the surf .ce, from year to
year, preserving fertility and causing
giant forests to grow. Besides, plen-
tiful mulching preserves nitrogen and
moisture about the plants also secur
ing from the bad effects of too much
sun heat also, in winter secures crops
from much injury by freezing and
heaving out, or being blown bare by
the spring winds, as the fine manure
falls nto the cracks of the soil and
nourishes the roots. Careful expert.
ment and close observation, every
where, show that liberal top-dreSsing,
surface manuring on most crops
winter grains, meadows, and some
spring crops-is the best mode of sp.
plying manures. Maryland Farmer,

Housing Lambs.

Housing lambs during storms, in
the fall, pay we'll for the little trouble ;
cold weather, or even cold winds, do
them but little harm so long az they
have dry coats; but cold rain, or even
heavy shower, vets them to the skin
and saturates their wool, and with the
heavy fleeces which they have at this
season, several days elapse before they
become dried; meanwhile, with their
wet shires, cold wind affects them and
they take cold, run at the nose and
eyes and are almost certain to lose
flesh. 1t is also good plan to house
them at night, as soon As the nights
are uniformly cold and heavy frosts
cover everything in the morning. This
is but little trouble and if the feeding
hour has been fixed at night, by trans
ferring the troughs to the stables or
barns, one or two nights feeding in
these quarters will make them only
too ready to rush in as soon as they
have q chance.
Keep the rabbits from the raspberry
canes by traps and shot gun.
Keep one eye open for chances to
