CURE FOR CoLIc IN HORSES.

G. 81. Allen, Queens County, N. Y,
writes the american Agrieultavist that he
has found three drops of tincture of colo
cynth sure cure for collie. The tincture
is to be given in three or four tablespoon
fuls of water, repeating the dose every
twenty minutes until there is relief. Colo
cynth is strong irritant, yet, although
We do not doubt that horses have recov-
cred from collie after, taking three drops
of tincture of colocynth, we can hardly
believe that so small dose has produced
this effect. It is given to the human sub
ject in doses of from five to fifteen grains.
Among the most efectual remedies for
both spasmodic and fatulent collie in the
horse are the following: Aloes, eight
drains; tincture of aconite, thirty drops,
in pint of water; or inseed oil pint,
to which may or not be added an ounce
of sulphuric ether; or oil of turpentine,
two drains; laudanum, one ounce; lin
seed oil, pint, or in great pain, laudanum
two ounces; warm water, eight ounces.
Veterinarians often use hypodermically
Msgenda's solution of morphine from
twenty to forty drops, or asafetida two
ounces, tincture of opium Qaudanum)
half an ounce. The doses above are in
marked contrast to the doses of colocynth,
which are not more than from quarter
to grain, probably.

An Algerian Horror.

A performance which is quite out Of
the common rut is that Of the Aissaouas
in the Algerian concert at the Paris Ex-
position. The Aissaouas are not actors,
dancers, or athletes; they belong to a
tribe where religious juggling is kept in
great honor. To please the Divinity they
eat the leaves of the thorny cactus, make
their eyes project from their orbits, pierce
their cheeks with long needles, have
themselves bitten by vipers, swallow
snakes or keep their equilibrium on a
dagger, and all this is accomplished with
out shedding blood and without appar-
ent pain or injury to themselves. After
roasting for q few minutes over brazier
holding hot Goals, they look intoxicated
and give to the head a rotary impulse
which leaves them in sort of hypnotized d
state. Then, at the sound of partiou-
lar sort of music, they perform before the
public all the acts that have just emu
merated. 1t is terrifying, even repug-
nant, but all the same 1t is very curious,
and is one of the great attractions of the
Exposition. Chicago Herald.

THE opps-AND-ENp CORNER.

Every one should have corner of the
garden in which to grow flowers to cut
from. If you have not the flowers, you
have the corner and the flowers ought to
find place in it. We have bed into
which little of everything goes. It is
called the ssodds-and-end" bed. Does
q branch get broken off the geranium2
We stick it down in this bed, and before
we know it it has taken root and begun
to grow, and before long we are cutting
flowers from it. Are there some old
house-plants that seemed to have out
lived their usefulness in pots, but which
we do not want to throw sway2 The
tsedds-and-end" bed has a place for
them, and when we find them renewing
their youth and giving us fine blossoms
for the daily bouquet we are glad that
we gave them a place there. Here we
plant the ANIMALS that there is no other
place for after thinning out the beds;
here we set out the bulbs that we are q
little fearful about. Aristocratic plants
and plebeian plants are all on an equal
footing. There is thicket of vines all
along the fence, tangle of plants all
about the corner, and more flowers, we
sometimes think, than we get from the
show-bed in front of the house. 1t the
most attractive part of the garden, so
utterly informal, and has a ''sit-down-
Neutrality-suspicious." air about it.

The KOla Nut.

The commercial Importance of the
kola nut has, for some time, been stead
ly growing. It is valuable dietetic and
therapeutic agent, and is allied in com
position to cocoa, coffee and tea, but
contains a relatively large amount OF
caffeine. The properties ordinarily as
signed to kola are those of a strong tonic
and stimulant to the nervous system,
counteracting and removing the sense OF
exhaustation after fasting and fatigue; it
has also been credited with having an
antagonistic action to alcohol, and is fire.
ouently used in the countries where it is
grown for that purpose; it is also said to
purify water. It has a peculiar stlmu-
liant action on the nervous system, temp
orarily strengthens the heart beat and In.
creases the arterial tension. In times OF
exertion and fasting it wards OIL the
sense of mental and physical depression
and exhaustion. AS a water purifier,
there is reason to believe that its action
is purely mechanical. In report which
has been recently made on this nut, 1t Is
recommended to be used as an infusion
in the treatment of diarrhea, where Its
astringent action is beneficial.

BREEDING TURKEYS.

In selecting turkeys for breeding pur-
poses choose those that have long, SYM
metrical bodies, full breasts and broad
backs. The neck should be slender but
not too long, head small and keen-look-
ing, covered with short, black hair; the
waffle and gills should be of bright red
color.
The legs should be of moderate length,
and in birds eight or nine months old
are dead black color; as they grow
older their legs become lighter in color,
until they are quite pink. The plumage
of healthy bird is bright and glisten-
ing.
When you select birds take those that
are gentle-not wild. They will cause
you much less trouble than those that are
easily frightened. Generally better re-
suits will be obtained il you mate birds
that are not related. Would at least
change "Toms" every second year.
Turkeys will not stand crowding; they
should be allowed to range at will. They
are great foragers, and are of great bene-
fit, as insect destroyers, to growing crops.
The hen turkey naturally hides her nest,
and it is best to humor this whim, yet
there is no need of its location being
known only to the turkey-and rat or
mink. If turkeys are petted and are
not scared by man or dog, they
will nest near the house, and will
deposit their eggs in nests that you make,
if you do not make "nice" ones. The
turkey abhors pomp and "style." A
good nest is made with an old barrel laid
upon its side in some secluded fence cor
ner; then carefully throw some brush
over it. Or brush pile that has an &C
cidental (O opening to a smooth place
beneath. When the hen goes pcering
about to find this place, don't watch her
from where she can see you. Be Just as
particular as she is not to be seen. Gather
the eggs when she is not about fuse one
or two nest eggs, and keep them in a
dry, cool place. Our plan is to set the

turkey have those she lays for second
litter. Unless she is remarkably good

CARE OF LAMBS.

August and September are critical
months for the lambs. Very likely they
are somewhat neglected during the hurry
and heat of July. Certainly now the
pastures are dried and short, water scant
and there are heat, flies and the attacks of
parasites. Only the best of care will pre-
vent the death of enough lambs to reduce
largely the profit of the season. Even
with IT there are likely to be sick lambs,
and it will be necessary to provide q
hospital for them. A cool, dark, clean
pen is the best hospital, and to it every
sick one of the flock should be broug ght
during the warm weather.
Diarrhea is apt to prevail, and in
twenty-four hours it will become dysen-
terry, and the lamb will be found dead in
a corner unless a close watch is kept.
This diarrhea is thought to be rather Of
the nature of blood disease, and to be
produced by heat, scant or unwholesome
drink, nervous depression, and the foul
ness of the out-of-the-way places the ami
mails seek. Preventives are, shelter from
the heat, abundance of good water, and
the reinforcement by palatable, succullent
feeds of the exhausted pastures. The
filth in the region of the tail and the
strong odor of the abdomen of the weth-
ers is apt to attract the blow-fy, Sarco-
phaga carnaria, one of which may be re-
sponsible for twenty thousand larve in q
season.
A "fy-blown" lamb is soon dead one,
unless effective measures are taken.
Crude petroleum is fatal to the larv@,
while healing to the lamb, and is the best
remedy. But prevention is better
watch the lambs and clean thoroughly
any foul or strongly odorous ones.
An all-'round preventive for fall all
ments, including "paper skin," Is full
feeding-not the feeding of dry, oily
grains, but largely of green, succulent
food. Putting the lambs in the corn
fields is very beneficial. The lambs get
shade and additional green food; they
do not injure the corn, as they remove
only the lower blades. They are bene-
fit to the corn, as they will keep down
any weeds that may have been over
looked in cultivation, and if the removal
of the lower blades has any effect, it is
to hasten the maturing of the corn and
get it out of the way of frost. Sheep
much enjoy having to exercise somewhat
for their food, and the lambs will be all
the better for their nibbling along the
row. They may well be given, also,
little bran, rye and oats. It is always
risky to have sheep drink from streams
