FOOT ROT IN SHEEP.
Directions for Treating This Common and

The remedies for foot rot are very
varied, and there are dozens Of agents,
either alone or in the combination. that
are Wanted as cures. and no doubt cor.
rcctly so. The selection Of remedy Is
not so difficult as to get 1t properly APP
Piled. They resolve themselves into two
classes astringents and caustics, and
generally too free use is made OF the lat

most essential that diseased structure.

and also that free vent should be given

Removal to a higher. dryer and barer

is not practicable, the worst cases should
be put on dry straw in sheds or yards
In some instances a poultice. either OF

geon. there is no better remedy than
sulphate of copper-common blue stone
or blue vitriol-and most dressings are
largely composed of this agent. In mild
cases a saturated solution of the suphates
Of copper and zinc poured into the ai-
fected parts is most efficient. Equal
parts of butyr of anthony and COM
pound tincture Of myrrh also make a
good dressing when applied with a feath-
or or brush to the diseased parts. In Sc
we're cases the strong mineral acids are
used. especially the nitric, with quick
silver dissolved in it.
On farms where the disease IS preva.
lent the sheep are periodically driven
through shallow troughs containing a
solution Of arsenic and soda, and if the
feet are carefully pared and the atten-
ton is constant, this is one Of the best
methods of prevention yet devised; but
where the disease is already established
the individual method Of treatment Of
fers the best prospect Of success. We
may sum up the treatment thus; Get
the sheep under shelter or in dry pas

apply q liquid dressing varying in
strength with the progress the disease
has made and the necessity for remov-
Ing fungus granulation. Follow this up
by using an ointment every day COM
posed Of one part boric acid and seven
parts Of lard, and adopt every possible
means for keeping the feet clean and
dry, which is very much more easily
said than done.

UN5Usr RAILROAD DIscRIMINA-
TION.
The instances Of discrimination on
tho part Of lhe Richmond and Peters
boresnd the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac roads mentioned 10y Major
lib. Taliaferro in his statement TO the
Board OF Public Interests on Wednes-
day are 70 serious i'm their nature as 70
demand the promp.eet attention. IT,
charge SASS moro per Ger load foY the
transportation Of lumber across tho
Richmond and Petersburg Railroad
bridge or Sl0if the weight runs up tot
fifty thousand pounds has nothing ID
reason to justify it.
These instances Of discrimination
against Richmond would appear to be
grave enough. but they arc. ifpossible.
surpassed by the third instance men
toned By Major Taliaferro, namely.
that three dollars are charged for car
from Belle Isle to Fiba, but as much "a
six dollars to move the same car from
Manchester to Elba, which is twice tho
same amount fer considerably less
distance.
Why there should be such disorimi-
nation On the part Of any railroads
would puzzle the wits Of any calm ard
fair-minded citizen who had the int
rests Of justice and good sense at heart,
but why these particular railroade,
which are known 10 be in q most pros
puou5 condition, should pursue a
policy go plainly to our detriment ia be-
yond our power to explain on basis
that will place these roads 10 any but an
uniavorabla light before this commu-
nifty.
Nr. Elicit, q member Of the board
addressed by Major Tsliaforro, also
pointed out in O very forcible way the
abuse by the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company Of the privileges
/ granted under restrictions to the Ale
ghany road. IL was not anticipated st
the time the ordinance went into effect.
granting this road the right to pass over
Seventh sna Ninth streets at the points
Of the present crossings. that its line
would become the outlet Of the innu-
merable heavy coal trains of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad. The dangers
to foot passengers and vehicles, and ths
obstruction to traffic, constitute O great
end constant evil. which the public
voice demands shall be either wholly
removed or radically modified under
/ the terms Of a new ordinance.
It 10 idle to suppose that the public
convenience and welfare can be tam
perod with very much longer with the
consent OF the people. We believe
that the railroad itself will recognize
the necessity for change, and see that
[ it Is carried out, otherwise the city au-
thorities must interfere TO protect the
interests of our citizens.

AK unfortunate impression prevails
ia some quarters OF our local Stats pol
itics that offices become private proper
ty to be standing perquisites for partic-
ular persons.
1t is absolutely false to Democratic
ideas that the representative power
Of the people should be barnacled by
any one man in bis neighborhood or by
any SET OF men.
Bonors are not personal perquisites.
The man never shines in disuse, but
rusts with the salt OF selhshness when
he supposes that the people are to con-
time him in one ofFics all his life. Let
tho worthy politician advance or else

favorable.
We think it would be the most prac-

the subject, both by correspondence
and by statements from men III our

There is less risk of disease with ducks

Buckwheat as poultry foe is both
