MASSAGE FOR A HORSE.

This process, which consist of rubbing

quite as applicable and useful to animals
as to person. 1t will be useful in cases
such as described, viz, the socalled
Sweeney" which is a Striking of the
large muscles of the shoulder. from want
of use by some lameness, mostly in the
foot or leg, and not necessarily in the
shoulder joint. 1t is generally recon-
mended to be continued for fifteen or
twenty minutes, and is followed by a
stimulating liniment well rubbed into the
skin. The action on the muscles is
equivalent to ordinary work by which
the growth and solidity of the muscular
fibre are increased; it thus counteracts
the ill effects of the inaction of the
muscles caused by the lameness. At the
same time the actual seat of the lameness
should be found and proper treatment
given there. The most probable location
of this is the foot.-Neo York Times.

HHuBARB AND ITS USE.

Rhubarb or pie plant for Boston mar
ket is nearly all grown in gardens near
By Eostop. That which has been forced
in hothouses begins to come in in Feb
ruarr, and retails at from twenty to if
teen cents per pound; then the Southern
product comes on, and is sold in small
way ut from ten cents to five cents per
pound at retail, and Arlington and others
near By that Is grown in the open air
follows on, netting the farmer from five
cents down to three-fourths of cent a
pound, and retailing at from n to two
cents usually. When the farmer gets less
than 81 per 100 pounds he usually stops
pulling it. Prices range little better,
as the demand is greater when apples are
scarce, but the rhubarb seems to grow in
popularity, and perhaps would be still
more popular if housekeepers knew that
it was not necessary to remove the outer
skin of the stalk before cooking. This
only should be done when the stalk is
wilted. Cut the stalks into small pieces
as for pies without skinning. and turn
boiling water over them, and let them
scald from fifteen to twenty-five minutes,
according to age of stalk, and they will
be as tender when cooked as if the skin
had been taken off, and will require less
sugar, while the acid flavor of the plant
will be retained in its greatest perfection.
