cultles In the way of successful treat
ment are IN great measure removed If
the flock have been on pasture they
should be removed to another or else
confined In yard or stable and the char
acter Of the food changed. In some cases
the diarrhpa is sequel or symptom of
some other disease, and when this is the
case the treatment must vary according
to the condition of the patient Simple
dlarrhPa may generally be pre- ented by
careful regulation of the food, avoiding
exposure to dampness and extreme
changes as much as possible, and by Civ
ing the flock regular supply of salt
In most cases it yields quick
~ to proper treatment, such
as the administration of Astring-
ents and cordial preparations. One
of the difficulties in the treatment Of
large f1ocks of sheep is their numbers
and the extreme care and patience that
is required to avoid missing many in
dlvldual animals. Cottonseed cake meal
is recommended as an excellent proven
tive and remedy, and the same NAV be
said of ground faxseed, although the
faxseed cake meal is not of much value
Linseed oil. two or three ounces. along
with dram of powdered ginger root,
is also recommended to be given, and
must be followed by the following mix
ture: Take one ounce of prepared chalk,
four drains of ca:echu, two drains of
ginger, and one dram of opium, to which
add halt-pint of peppermint water, and
give two tablespoonful night and morn
ing to each full-grcwn sheep and half
the amount to the lambs When the
cottonseed cake meal is fed, half-pound
per day for each animal is enough, and
half the quantity of the fiaxseed meal.
Diarrh@a in sheep should be treated
promptly, for when it is neglected it may
give rise 20 serious complications. -Ne1o

stony Mulch for Fruit Trees.

A farmer friend who evidently knows
how to make the orchard trees do their
best, " and who objects to the dangerous
and troublesome operation of ploughing
the ground, tells us his resource. He
uses slate chips or any other broken
rock, down to sand, and covers the
ground to the extent of the branches or
more with this mulch, putting it thick
enough to smother the grass, and thinks
it the best because it is enduring. He
claims for it, too, that it Will not harbor
mice or insects, and that the growth will
start earlier in spring and close earlier in
autumn. He uses manurial matters in
addition, always applying them in winter
or early spring to avoid exciting late
growth. The mulch is good, but the
material is bad. Why not put on a mulch
which Will feed the tree as it decays, and
not need renewal oftener than the
stones, which would soon have grass
growing in all their inters tees and steal
inc the benefit intended for the tree?
Any vegetable matter will answer. even
pomace or sawdust, if not laid on so
thick as to be liable to sour, or if strewed
with wood ashes or lime to neutraliZe
the acid, and supply food instead of
poison Such mulch, if laid on widely
and deeply enough, has sure effect, and
TO a novice an astonishing as well as
gratifying one.-Neto York Tribune

Rot and Scab in Potatoes.

An Ame1ican Guilt ator correspond
ent says: l once planted nine short
rows of potatoes, applying the following
washes to the sets before planting: A
weak solution of blue vitriol, known as
sulphate Of copper; a solution of green
vitriOl, sulphate of iron, a solution of
corrosive sublimate, one ounce to a gal
lon of water; strong suds of resin soap;
boiling water and beef brine. The resin
soap proved to be very good, as also the
boiling water.
None of the above washes were injuri-
Gus, but the corrosive Sublimate seemed
to act as a powerful stimulant, producing
most luXuriant growth of vines, while
the soapsuds and the boiling water pro-
duced the greatest amount of tubers;
yet taken altogether, l never harvested
more scabby lot of potatoes. The soil
was warm, rich, gravelly loan. | had
not one rotten potato among them, al
though l had few rotten specimens in
the same piece where the sets were not
prepared by any of the above washes.
planted some in the same soil, how
ever using as a mulch over the sets an
abundance Of pine needles and ashes,
this piece being previously MANFRED
with barnyard manure. Here the pota-
toes were very fine, being free from every
blemish, either scab or rot. Again, an
important fact was developed in that the
potatoes grown in this manner retained
their goodness as seed for two subse-
quent generations.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Badly Fed Pigs.

When pigs are imperfectly nourished
for want of sufficiently nutritious food
the muscular system is weakened and
the nerves which control the action of
the muscles fail in their purpose. The
Dirs then suffer from inability to use
their limbs; sometimes one side is
paralyzed, and sometimes the hind limbs
ONLY. The remedy.is to give the right
kind of food, viz. : sufficien quantity
of muscle producing substance, such as
bran, oats, clover, or brewers grains,
along with skinned milk, in addition
10 corn. Immediate relief is afforded,
however, by the use of stimulating
liniment or by turpentine rubbed into
the loins after fermentation with hot
water and brisk rubbing with a dry
cloth. Pigs that have been thus defec-
lively fed should not he used for breed
ing, as the progeny will have consti-
tutional proclivity to the same kind of
weakness. -Neao York TINES.

Raising Two-POund Chickens in
Eight Weeks.

The main point in raising chickens to
have them weigh two pounds (dressed)
IN eight weeks, is to feed them such food
as will make hard, solid flesh, not liable
to shrinkage. While soft food is more
easily digested than grain, a chicken fed
upon it exclusively Will shrink six ounces
In the dressing,
fgenerous feed of grains be given each
day, in connection with the soft food,
the shrinkage will be much less, which
fact we have demonstrated by brood,
just shipped, weighing two pounds
idresSed), being eight weeks old.
Great benefit is derived from the use of
copperas in their soft food, during the
last ten days. A piece of the crystal the
size of a large pea, dissolved IN boiling
water, can be added to the water with
which the soft food is mixed. Fine coal
ashes put into their scratching pen is also
beneficial.
All these measures are necessary, as
the large amount OF food consumed by
the chickens would naturally tend
toward Indigestion and bowel trouble.
Before killing, the chickens should be
put IN a coop 18th slat floor, and in a
dark place, and kept without food for
thirty-Six hours. We have dressed them
after keeping them twenty-four hours,
but find they dress much. easier and pre-
sent better appearance if kept thirty
SIX hours without food.
After killing and picking, they should
be plunged into cold water, slightly
salted, and remain until all animal heat
IS extracted, usually five to six hours.
Upon taking out of the water the clot of
blood which will be found in the mouth
must be removed, and the chickens
hung up to drip until partially dry
Then pack in layers, and snug enough to
prevent their shaking about. Farm,

New Orleans. April ois, Is

New Orleans, April 2is,, 1888.
The weather conditions during the
past week, excepting the lack of rain
fall, have been very favorable to the
growing crops. and to blowing and
planting in the northern and central
sections Of the State.
THE MEAN TEMPERATURE
for the week has been slightly above
the normal of the corresponding
week of past twenty years IN the
interior of the State, and about the
normal elsewhere.
/ There has been no appreciable
rainfall in any OF the sections from
which reports for the week were rs
ceived. Showers are needed to
bring up the cotton and corn in the
northern part of the State, and
would be of great benefit to the
growing crops of the southern and
central sections.
Another week of sunshine has had
favorable effect on ali classes of
farm work. The percentage during
the past week has ranged from 5 to
% per cent above the normal
GENERAL REMARKS OF OBSERVERS:
Monroe: Half An inch of rain fell on
10Th; hail light; 10 damage there
from. Rain very beneficial
Liberty Hill: Needing rain; corn
all planted and cotton about half
done.
Delta: Buffalo gnats reported in
the lower part of the parish; con-
ditiOn of the weather unfavOrable to
seed that was planted and should be
up; most of the planting from 20 to
30 days behind time.
Point Pleasant: A little rain is
needed to aid cotton and corn.
Trinity: Weather favorable for the
cotton crop, but injurious to corn
and gardens; rain needed badly.
Vidalia: Rain needed; corn very
dry and cotton coming up badly
owing to dry weather.
New Hope: Weather favorable for
plowlng and planting; good stand OF
corn and growing finely.
Baton Rouge: Dry weather of past
week very favorable to cotton plant
ing; cane plants in need of rain; corn
doing well; all crops late for the
season.
Grand Coteau: Crops Using nicely,
but work still behind.
Kenner: Need rain very much;
soil hard and dry; Gre ps not suffering
much as yet but can't stand the
drought much longer without dam
age; crops look we'll considering that !
we have had no rain for some time.

1t is now clearly evident that Mich.

elected BY from $4,000 to $4,000
majority, and that the Legislature is
Democratic by an overwhelming
majority. The only parish in which
an unexpected result was reacbad ia
Eas; Baton Rouge. which gives War
moth nearly twelve hundred majority,
and elects two negroes to the Legis-
lature. Everywhere else there was q
clean sweep. and the straight Demo-
cratic ticket went through with Q
whoop.
We must be psrdoned for pointing
With pride to the large part played by
the fourth Congressional district in
achieving this result. Caddo gives

100; Webster, 200; Bienville, 1000;
Red River, 1900; Natcbitocbes, 5000

proportion. Indeed, the district, as
before. will furnish the larger part of
the majority for the Democratic ticket,
and the Red river valley has again

State upon the success that has
