Founder in Horses.

DIR. N. II. Paaren, the Chicago vet
ernarian, gives the following treat
ment for founder, in the Prairie
Farmer: {" In the beginning of the dis
tase, remove the shoes and rasp down
the heels and edges around the hoofs,
80 that the bearing of the animals
weight comes entirely on the sole and
frog. Then place the fore feet in a
roomy, strong tub, with warm water,
during half an hour, and repeat this
three to four times daily during two
days. Thereafter apply hogs lard, or
some softening ointment to the hoofs
daily. Leave the horse without shoes
in a roomy box-stal or comfortable
shed with plenty of bedding. To keep
such an animal tied up in stall is OBJ
jectionable; he must have liberty to
frequently change his position, which
cannot be afforded 10 single stall. AS
soon as the shoes have been removed
and the feet pared as directed, the
horse should be given a purgative dose
of medicine, such as six drachms of
aloes, half drachm of calomel, one
drachm of cayenne pepper, all in pow
der, and made into ball with little
powdered marshmalow root and mo-
lasses. Then give every hour, during
six hours, ten to fifteen drops of tine
ture aconite, by placing it on the
tongue. Afterwards, during two or
three days, give morning, noon and
evening, each time four ounces of So
luton of acetate of ammonia, with an
ounce of sweet spirit of nitre, in half
pint Of cold water. If, after three to
four days, much pain aud tenderness
should yet remain, fly blister may be
applied around the coronet, to space
of three inches in width. The hairs
should first be clipped short. The
blister should be applied in the morn
ing, and the horse tied so as TO pre-
vent his interfering with the blister
with his mouth. After six to eight
hours he may be let loose. From the
beginning he should be kept quiet, in a
comfortable, well-ventlated place with
out draft. The food, which should
only be given in limited quantity,
should be of loosening nature, such as
mixture of steamed oats, bran and flax
seed meal, and limited rations of hay,
which should not be timothy. When
the urgent symptoms have disappeared,
the horse should have liberty outdoors,
with access to proper shelter"

Dumping OleO on New York.

There are few staunch metropoli-
tan newspapers, like the New York
Mail and ETpreSS and the Minneapolis
Tribune, that are not subsidized by the
oleo combine. They can always be de-
pended upon as taking the sides of
dairymen in their contentious against
the fraudulent sales of oleomargarine,
and many time it has been our pleas
ure to read vigorous and pointed ed
itorials in those papers that have tended
to wonderfully educate the masses as to
the true character of the slaughter
house compound. The other day the
Mail and ETpreSS pointed out the
brazen-faced efforts of the oleo manu-
facturers in hiring what they denom-
mated CLUSTERS" TO take orders for oleo-
margarine in New York and Connecti-
cut, and called the attention of the
public to the very stringent laws in
those states, especially in New York,
where "any person who manufactures
the fraudulent stuff, any one who sells,
offers or exposes il for sale is liable to
fine and Imprisonment" and where
leach sale, each offer and each days
exposure for sale is made separate
criminal offense." The paper also
showed that, while it was willing to
concede that the article could be made
of wholesome materials, it was not pre-
pared to believe that ga Chicago
slaughter-house was exactly the place in
which to look for fresh dairy butter
or any wholesome substitute for it,"
and further stated that it was "well
aware that in some oflhe Western states
hogs dying of disease called cholera, a
disorder so contagious and fatal that
the law commands that the bodies shall
be burned at once, are, in spite of the
law, transformed by some cunning
process into "pure leaf lard" and
"choice Jersey butter" The worst
feature of the situation is that the
"hustlers" are reported as doing a
rushing business, taking orders only for
cash, as their instructions are not to
sign any contracts or give any writings
of any sort, and no one in authority so
far has stepped in to suppress this ille-

WE have class of wealthy farmers

WE have class of wealthy farmers,
with elegant homes, with musical in
struments, libraries and commodious
and beautifully-furnished houses. Such
homes are not rare, and in all of our
best farming states every county can
furnish samples of them. Many of
these farmers have made every dollar
of their money by farming, starting
often with no capital; but in these cases
they have usually located wisely both as
TO soil and market, and usually have
chosen some specially and stuck to it.
In all the cases which come under this
head the success has been due to the
mans head rather than to his hands,

Farmer Johns SolilOquy.

BY the blazing fire sat farmer John,
His storm.coat Off and his slippers on,
look OF pride on his rugged face
As OF one who knew he had earned place
In the foremost line Of the sons of toll
Who rank as kings of the fertile soil.
1t was thus he unused: Now let me see,
This has been very good year for me.
That rocky, worn-out pasture lot
Has lately proved fertile spot;
And am qnite convinced it's wise
Each year to freely fertlize.
My barns are full, aud as for grain,
may never see the like again.
My cribs are Over.run, and-well,
This year shall have some grain to sell.
All this is due to my thrift and pluck,
And not what the shiftless call good luck"
" God gave the increase"
This whispered thought q change
OF mind to the farmer brought.
From whence 1t came we can only guess,
Perhaps from his inner consciousness
OF right and wrong, for who does not know
1t would be in vain to plant and SOW,
To work with skill in hope of gain
without the blessing of sun and rain2

WE hear and read good deal in
New England about culture" or
cutchar," as some prefer to pronounce
the word. Mr.. j. D. Lyman, in the
Ne,o England Farmer, asks: What
is meant by this famous word culture?
By culture l suppose the Greeks
meant such education as Socrates and
Plato, for instance, gave their disciples
or students; the Hebrews, such as the
priests, scribes, lawyers and Pharisees
gave; the Mohammedans such as their
teachers gave; and throughout the
world and the ages the cultured man
is the man who has received the fash
ionable education Of the age and coun-
try. Poor uncultured Washington,
Franklin, Grant and Greeley, Stephen
son and Watt, Shakespeare and Burns,
Edison and Columbus, Abraham and
Fox, Alfred and Lincoln-all, all shut
out-poor, uncultured plebeians.-Last
winter l voted states money to Dart
mouth College as we'll as to the agricul-
tural college. But l voted money to
each for largely different instruction.
So did my fellow members. Our pur-
pose, the purpose of congress chiefly
aud the purpose of Conant, Culver and
of my old friend Thompson, was for
agriculture. Shall these funds be per-
verted to culture without the prefix
'agri'? The ample provisions for cul-
ture' in our other schools and colleges,
the needs of farmers and the honest use
of these funds for the purposes for
which they were given, all demand that
the sciences and arts of agriculture
should be the chief things taught at
Durham. If am in error here, do,
pray you, point out my error. If Murk
land is right, then why not remodel the
Polytechnic School in Boston, the West
Point Military Academy and all sucf
schools? Pharisees thought that Jesus
and his disciples had better let them dc
their thinking for them. King George
and Lord North thought George Wash

ATKINsoN's Farm Journal, published
monthly in Philadelphia at fifty cents a
year, is, we think, among the very best
of its very useful class of publications.
Its next issue will contain a portrait
and brief biography of Hon. Alpha
Messer, master of the State Grange of
Vermont, and lecturer of the National
Grange.

air is what is needed to keep the ice
through the hot weather." That last
phrase begs the whole question. 1t is
found best to have top ventilation, in
order TO keep the sawdust on the ice
dry, as dry sawdust is a much poorer
conductor of heat than that which is
wet. Besides that, this evaporation
reduces the temperature, or, rather, it
keeps it low. -
WE are very glad to note that Nee
hans Monthly for December, which
closes the third volume, also indicates
the growing and now assured success
of what we could but regard, at first,
as a hazardous venture. But our coun-
try has now 80 many wealthy people,
with sufficient culture to be interested
in the fine art of horticulture, that such
able periodicals easily command wide
clientage. Meehan's Monthly is at
tempting the great feat of combining
what ordinarily would be the monthly
paris of great work, to be bound into
first class volumes for all time, with the
general literature of transient maya
zines. In this issue we have the full
history with living picture of one of
our beautiful prairie flowers, BaptiSia
leucoph@a, one of the wild indigos'
with sixty eight other chapters on wild
flowers, popular natural history, fruits,
vegetables, and garden history, and gar
den lovers. Among the latter are
sketches of Francis Parkman, the his
torian; Anne Pratt, the great painter
of wild f)wers; M 9nzies, the explorer
of the botany of the Pacific; Professor
Hagen, the entomologist; Profess Or
Prig' helm, the biologist; and last, but

known Professor Pepper of the Penn

WE are glad to have noted in the
general editorial columns of this paper
the official statement that the grange
has made a considerable advance in
Vermont during the past year. 1t
would be too cruel if the earnest and
faithful, and more than gratuitous,
labors of Mr. Messer should not have
had some fruilion. AS social organ
ization, it has often been fair success.
This was one of its original purposes;
but its great purpose, as announced and
proclaimed everywhere in the begin
ming, was to be as business organiza-
ton. We want to see that carried out {;
may get from the men who are in it to
"kcep it out of mischief" as we once
heard cunning politician and railroad
man say. We do not think the railroads
in New England are very much afraid
of the grange now. We never did be-
lieve in mere irrational fighting with
the railroads. But we did and do be-
lieve in business organization of
farmers, who can talk business in a
business way, as other business men do,
with the managers of that transporta-
ton in which farmers are so greatly
interested. 1t does seem that the an
tagonism towards us in the grange is
much like that of the lazy man towards
his wife who wants him to get up and
go to work.

MR.. LYMAN, who is a member of the
New Hampshire legislature, is the first
one, besides ourself, whom we have
seen referring to the striking case of the
great Boston Psychological Institution,
for instruction in the mechanic arts,
which received (and rightly SOY one
half of the money for industrial educa-
ton which fell to the share of Massa-
chusetts. Nobody has dared to try to di-
vert that money from its lawfully desig-
mated purpose. Why not? Because the
men interested in it are not men who
can be robbed, humbugged, or bullied,
by the parties who have so successfully
deprived the Indifferent farmers of
their share and use OF the money, in
other states. -
ALTHOUGH we are badly misunder-
stood by some hasty members of the
grange, and looked upon as an enemy,
instead of the firm friend and first
newspaper supporter of that society in
New England, we very much desire to
have it revived in the northeastern
part of Vermont, where we believe not
a single grange now exists. We hope
our immediate neighbors will take an
interest in this important matter. Its
members can make of the grange what
ever they choose, within the limits of
its avowed and fundamen principles.
1t is these very principles which we
wish to see lived up to, and made them
selves to live, and be prominent, in the
great work which stands almost un-
touched before them. Narrowness is
what killed out so many of the original
oranges, in this state and elsewhere.
AS, in religion, it is said seek first the
kingdom of heaven, and all things shall
be added unto you," so, in cooperative
action, we must first seek the general
good, and in this way insure most
perfectly the individual good. A mar
row-minded, utterly selfish, man has
no place in any society like the grange

THE unthroning of the Sandwich
Islands queen seems to have been
chiefly an agricultural affair;-the sugar
planters, mostly Americans, didn't
want her. They practically enslaved
her subjects. We are grieved to note
that Senator Proctor thinks it would
be un-American to restore her. Prob
ably the literary colleges which have
captured the agricultural college appro-
priations will agree wi the senator.
The poor and weak can have very few
rights which the rich and greedy are
bound to respect. Besides, they say
the queen was somewhat off in hel
morals. But we hope Uncle Sam is
not going to make that a sufficient
ground for attacking the government
