Fatal Overfeeding.

Mr.. B. f. johnson refers in his I'LL
nois correspondence of "The Country
Gentleman" to something like a new
disease" named azoturia, or azot@-
mia, Indicating that the cause OF it
is a retention of too much nitrogen
GUS matter in the system; says it has
taken of more good heavyweight
draft horses than breeders would be
willing to admit, and adds these sug-
gestive particulars:
ut invariably results from allowing
the animal to stand in the stable for
some time, and giving him, as the
common custom is, an unlimited
amount of nutritious food. The liver
and kidneys soon become unable to
eliminate the impurities as fast as
they are formed; hence q blockade and
q partial or complete suspension of
the faculties Of the excretory organs.
The attacks are always sudden, and
when severe, are fatal in a few days.
When taken out OF the stable the ami
NAL will appear to be in unusual
health and high spirits, but he has
not gone far before he begins to lag,
then breaks out into a profuse per-.
SEPARATION, especially upon his hind
quarters. Soon weakness and loss OF
power show themselves, the animal
falls down, and, in bad cases, never
rises. Treatment amounts to little Or
nothing, the patient dying or recover
ing, according to the mildness or Sc
verify Of the attack.
''But to give the animals daily out
of-door exercise, regardless of the
weather, is a sure prevention. Talk
ing with a farmer who made a special
ty Of breeding and feeding grade and
full-blood tlraft horses, he said that
after losing three promising young
omen with the new disease. or some
thing like It, he had adopted the in
variable rule to take them out at
least six hours each day, regardless
Of the weather. during the winter and
spring season. In doing so, be- felt
safe in feeding unlimited corn and oats,
and giving them unlimited exercise al
so. asked how about the rains, &C
eynpaniod by sleet, the hardest at all
Weather on stock. He said, in reply,
that it made little difference, if horses
were once used to exposure. At any
rate, he felt his high fed stock was
safer exposed to a sleet storm than
standing in astable without exercise.
It IS clear to Mr.. Johnson's mind
that farmers, especially Of the West,
will have to reform their present dan
gerous practice OF high feeding, and he
socks to impress the Important fact
BY tho folio wing reminder:
"The constitutional strength and
vital force Of the hog has been so low
cred by the feeding Of corn to excess,
that it has become the easy prey Of
almost every common disease known
to domesticated animals. Neat stock
has not suffered so much, but if the
losses from local and epidemic aboy-
ton and the black-leg in young blood
ed cattle were made public by the suf-
fersrs, the. impression would be that
high bred and high.fed cattle were
threatened with the fate of the Berk-
shires and Poland Chinas.'

Communicated

M. Editor. I'll desire you to remove
forthwith from your paper the notice of
the sale Of my property for taxes due to
the State and county, as have settled
nth the Collector. I was surprised
when learned Of the notice to which
have referred. My son saw Mr.. Mont
eomery Thursday, July 18th, and made
an engagement with aim to meet him in
Port Tobacco the following Thursday
when and VT ere the taxes would be
paid. When my son went to Port To-
baeco according to his agreement with
the Collector, he found that he was alb
sent Not knowing the cause Of bis ab-
sence, my son went to La Plata the fol-
lowing day with the expectation of meet
ing him on his way from Port Tobacco
to his home. As my son failed to meet
Mr.. Montgomery in Port Tobacco or
La Plata, | requested him to go to the
latters house when he (my SOM learned
that my property was advertised.
am surprised that Mr. Montgomery
would appoint the time and the place
to meet my son, break his own engage
menf, and then advertise my property
without my knowledge. Collectors
should understand that taxpayers have
rights as well as they.

Advice for Hot Weathar.-I

Advlce for Hot Weather. In
hot weather water should be drunk cool,
out not iced, with the juice e .auarter
or half a lemon in it
should also be drunk with dash 70 3
lemon' Water should always be swal
lowed slowly. 1t is not the stomach
which is dry, but the mouth and throat
Il you toss of drink of water you throw
III tnfough your mouth and throat into
your stomach without doing the former
any good while you injure the latter
BY loading it with shat it does not
require. Drink slowly, aud keep
the water in your mouth for moment
when you begin. If you work in a
not room tn hot weather, tie a damp
cloth around your temples, and you will
not experience half the cravings for
drink you otherwise would. There is
one blessing which will serve 10 carry
US through a spell Of hot weather without
suffering and that is a good common
sense method of going slow and cease
worrying at such dangerous times. The
mind and the body must not be burdened
too heavily when the thermometer i.
raging up among the figures which de.
note blood heat, and the calmor ~ mind
IS Kept during such weather the cooler
and healthier will be the body.

To Keep Hams in Summer

There are number Of modes given to
keep hams through the warm season free
from the attacks Of insects. Some bag
them and Whitewash the bags, which is
troublesome and somewhat expensive;
some cover them with dry wood ashes and
pack them in barrels; some pack them in
barrels; and cover thoroughly with pine
shavings, but we think the best plan of
all, and certainly the least expensive
with all who have a smoke house. and
every farmer should have good one,
is to keep the hams hung up in the smoke
house. which should be kept perfectly
dark at all times. We have eaten hams
SO kept two years old, and they were
among the very tasted. Uniform dark
ness is complete protection against the
attacks Of insets.
