purpose of forming a "Ladies' Anti

A SUUGFSTIOk TO FARMERS.

10 is seldom denied that one of
the most fatal expenses incurred
by the farming class in this section,
and throughout the South, is the
annual outlay for imported fertil-
izeIs. Doubtless an accurate state
ment of the aggregate Of the FARM
els yearly earnings sent out of any
given county, say Mecklenburg, fer
manures, would appear incredible,
and demonstrate that money mat
tiers wOnld not be near so stringent
fit had been retained. 1t IS not
disputed that all other classes in q
country like ours, only prosper as
the farming class prospeTs- And
we find here habit among the
farmers which greatly retards their
prosperity. What is the remedy?
Everybody should be deeply inter
ested IN finding and applying it
The Chronicle, which has on many
accounts, this class at heart, would
suggest that the farmers revolu-
tionize the employment Of their
time in the month of January and
February too ii need be, and de.
vote the time to manure making
and thereby save a very large pro-
portion of the amount annually
sent abroad for fertilizers. This is
a practical suggestion. 1t is a
feasible proposition too. The ways
and means are at hand or accessi-
bic. Let every farmer who reads
these lines resolve to spend such
portion of the winter in fertilizer
making, as will minimize his outlay

AOULTeRLTED LARD.

- interest farmers, as well
as aotiSOrs of lard, to know that
it is lagely adulterated. A Chi
eago acker has lately been giving
ava someof thetricks Of his trade.
Crue lard Is now, he says, con
sidrably dearer than the refDetI
pYduct, by which We may infer
t5t it has not yet been learned
INV TO make hogs lard without
bving some of tue hogs product
cmbined with it. Cotton seed oil,
AID in some cases beef tallow, are
ised to adulterate lard, from which
may be inferred that the tax on
)leomargarioe has ha& its effect in
beef suet into other
branches Of manufacture. The
New York Produce EXCHANGE has
sent q memorial to Congress, com
planning of lard adulteration, and
ssking that every manufacturer of
lard stamp hls product with the
name OF the firm making it, and a
guarantee Of its genuineness. The
aduferatiOn is undoubtedly an in
jury % honest manufacture and sale
of lary, and it is the interest OF
producers, not less than Of con-
sumess, that this fraudulent bust
sess be topped. The oh IN the
lard is pressed out of 1t and sold
for machine oil, while the cheaper
cotton seedoil takes its place.

/ Farm AND HOUSEHOLD.
W IlIIl7' HORSES RUB THEIR NAMES AND
TAILS,

x The question, "Why hcrses Iuo
their names and tails" has been
{ answered by a New York veterinary
surgeon as follows: "Rubhng the
} name and tail usually results from
i an unhealthy condition Of the skin,
4 which in most cases isprOduced by
/ neglect Of groOmingOr by bad TODD
4 or by any sudden change OF diet
J, from that to good. Occasionally,
! however, 1t appears in stables
& where grooming and food are IN
] ouestionabB good. Damaged oats
: or hay arc very ready causes for
3 this annoying affection. In every
case, herefore, where the hair OF
the zane and tail fall out the food
: sboald be carefully examined
: Young horses ON coming into the
stables sometimes suffer from an
irritation Of the skin, probably from
change of diet. Horses recovering
from fever frequently lose a por-
ton of the hair from the name and
tail. In the latter case 1t seems to
arise from an impoverished state OF
blOOd.n
In regard to treatment the sur
geOn alluded to says: "If any posi-
tive cause, such as damaged food or
neglected grooming, has existed,
measures must be taken to remove
such cause. without this precau.
tion local treatment will be of little
avail. One method Of local treat
ment that has produced good re-
suits consists in dressing the skin
with equal parts of mercuIial ONT
ment and soft soap made into a
lather with hot water and applied
by means of a stiff hair brush
The new hair will grow rapidly
after this application. In addition
to the local treatment 1t will be
necessary to act upon the system
generally by a change of diet;
green food should be given, as this
by means Of its laxative qualities
lessons the irrltabllity of the skin.
A bran mash with five grains OF
arsenic added daily, in addition to
the usual food, will exert a bene-
fetal influence upon the skin.
