INFLUENZA.

Pink-eyei is a term commonly given
to infiammations about the eve or
nostrils Of the horse, says the Amerl-
can Agriculturist, but in most cases
the ailment can be directly traced to
an influenza which of itself assumes
a variety of symptoms. The first
attention is usually attracted by the
dumpishness Or debility Of the horse
the eye becomes red or blood shot
and the lids swollen, and the light
pains them. The hind legs swell
and other parts of the body become
dropsical. The first thing is to get
the patient into a clean, dry stall,
where he can get pure air. If limbs
are cold, rub and bandage them, or
use liniments. Give the following
drench: Sulphur, five drachms:
cream Of tartar, two drachms; salt,
one ounce. Mix these with faxseed
tea.-American Farmer.

TREATMENT OF HOG MANURE.

Many persons suppose that byfll-
ing a hog pen with leaves, straw,
dirt and other matter, they r fore
ing the hogs to make manure. 1t is
true that such substances save the
manure by absorbing it but they do
not add any more to the manure, nor
it's value, than what is cOn-
tanned when they are placed in the
pen. The practice has really caused
loss to the farmers instead of gain,
which we can easily make plain. In
the first place there is nothing that
can be derived from the hog, or any
other animal, except what first pas
SEES down the throat, and whatever
manure is produced is that portion
of the food which has not been used
by the animal for growth or repair
of waste. The value of this manure
depends not only upon the kind OF
food but also upon the age of the
animal, and its quality does not,
therefore, depend upon it's bulk. To
make manure in the hog pen in the
usual uldIIlCI IS ldUOI IOuS. NS q idISC
amount of coarse material must be
handled in getting it in the pen
and then digging it out again. The
proper mode is to use dry dirt, and
a small quantity of finely cut straw
or leaves, and to clean out the pen
twice or three times a week, adding
the manure and it's absorbent to the
regular heap. This mode of cours
does not make much manure nor
add anything to it, except that the
health of the hogs is promoted,
and a gain in growth is secured, but
it prevents loss from rains. The
regular hog pens, with coarse litter
and manure to the depth Of two or
three feet, + so completely drenched
and filtered by repeated rains that
the larger proportion of the soluable
matter is nearly always lost, and
for the sake of cleanliness and to
save the fertilizing matter, the pens
should be cleaned often.-Fdrm,

The Book Of Mormon, The Koran,
Mark Twain's New Pilgrims Pro-
gress, and on through the thousands
of newspaper articles, which [ have
read, in none of these have I found
a bigger mistake than to suppose,
1--WE all know how to do" Why my
dear Mr.. E. G. D., didn't you know
that the hou is now, and has been
the great question of the ages? The
only difference between the iddling
