CURE FOR GARGET.
A Simple Treatment Which Ii Said
Possess Great Merit.

A Simple Treatment Which In Said to
Possess Great Merit.
Our experience with garget has been
that it is not an obstinate trouble to
treat. Quickly yielding. if tn. right
remedies are applied at the right time,
our remedy, which we consider infal-
lible. is to take piece of strong cloth
about one and three-quarter yards
long by three-quarters wide. Tie 4
strong knot in each corner. Then just
back Of each knot, tie a strong cord
two or three yards in length. This is
to be fastened on lengthwise Of cloth
by placing one end well front Of the
udder, bringing cords up over the back
and tying. the other end of the cloth is
carried through between hind legs
pretty well up the escutcheon. the
cords carried between the hip bones.
and SO on to the other cords where
they are all fastened together. This is
for holding cloths, wrung out Of water
rs hot as the hands can bear. and APP
piled to the parts affected. As soon as
they begin to cool, wiring them again.
and do not stop until the swelling goes
down and the parts soften. 1t may be
twelve hours. and sometimes longer
And in no instance neglect keeping the
quarter MIXED out. No matter how
little. or of what condition the fluid
may be, do not let the quarter become
dry If possible to avoid it. As soon AS
the hot applications are discarded
twice daily until all Jumps disappear
and the milk has regained its natural
state: Iodide of potassium, 2 dr.;
tincture of iodine, 2 dr.; lard, or

SOME GOOD IDEAS.

Thrifty Yankee Farmer Talks About
the Increasing Fertility Of Soil.
One very successful farmer has said
that he would maintain an eyer-in.
creasing fertility Of the soil II this is
true Of farming in general. it must be
Of prime importance to the milk pro-
Queer We should never content our
selves with cutting one ton of hay, or
harvesting 20 bushels Of shelled corn to
the acre; but rather we should aim to
cut three to five tons Of hay. aud har-
vest so to Is bushels Of corn. This
would be very satisfactory to one who
took pride in farming, besides enlarg-
ing the margin of profit.
When we can gather as much from
Is to SO acres as we formerly did
from 100. we may safely dispose Of
one-half our land. which will give us
working capital. with something for a
rainy day. Or if we are harrassed
with mortgage, We may pay that of.
and be released from struggle to meet
the interest and taxes II our ambi.
tons are greater. and we have good
market for all the milk we can pro-
duce, we may enlarge our barns, keep
more stock. and add to our income BY
the sale Of coarse over-ripc hay. pur-
chasing bran as better fitted for the
interests of the milk producer How
ever visionary or imprscticable it may
seem to any Of you to dispose Of part
Of the farm, it still remains pertinent
question, whether. under the changed
condition of things, the farms of this
State are not generally too large.
II we are to increase our crops, it
may be well for US to consider how we
shall fertilize. First. we should save
all the manure made by cementing our
barn cellars, or We may retain the
liquid portion to some extent by the
use Of absorbents Those situated SO
that they can buy cheap lots Of dry
horse manure, to bed their cows, will
find it to answer an excellent purpose.
After this. we may purchase good
wood ashes, or bone and potash, AZ
they are particularly adapted to the
production OF grass There may be
equally good prepared fertilizers. but
50 far my experience has not been %
favorable to them 40 l could desire.
have some reason to think that thus
far, they have got moro farmers into
debt than they over helped out
But if ! used prepared fertilizers,
would put on enough to give them I
fair show. and ii the result showed
permanence of benefit, would continue
hem; otherwise, treat them with eau
ion. suppose the method Of apply
ing manure is more readily disposed o.
han how to get sufficient quantity.
In our own case, we have plowed i
lnder. and wheel-harrowed it in, both
III sod and cultivated land. and it hal
lone equally well in both ways W.
lave topdressed mowings. not run out
with good results. while by applying
IN mowings that were run out w
,ave felt that our manure was thrown
way. I think for such fields, plow
ng. cultivating and re-seeding. to b.
he part of true economy. --Nes0ton
