Editor Times Democrat:
Referring to the suggestion of
Mr.. j. Burruss McGehee, in his
article of June IL, as to the addi-
ton of muriatic tincture of iron in
doses of from two to four table,
spoonsful to the clorate of potash
and whisky with an even quantity
of water, / would heartily recon-
mend it to all stock owners either
afflicted or threatened with char
bon, for / have used it with excel
lent results The drench should
be one tablespoonful of chlorate
potash, two to four flour only in
extreme rases) of muriatic tincture
of iron, half a pint of whisky and a
pint to a quart of water. Too large
a drench is hard to administer.
As to the solution of copenal in
substitution of other external APP
plications, I have never tried it;
but the simpler the treatment the
better. Slight scarification and
blistering the swelling proper, fol-
lowed by hot emissions to procure
suppuration are not very painful
to the animal and relieve the sys-
tenn of great quantity of poison
GUS serum and reduce dangerous
swelling. But better and safer
than ali remedies l urge the plant
ers and stock owners in the valley,
prairies and ft uplands, vaccinate
your stock every spring with Pas
tours Charlton vaccine.

ANOTHER REMEDY.
Capt. A. NJ. Haas, for many
years one of the largest dealers in
horses and mules in this city, and
of late years the owner and mama
ger of number of plantations
throughout the State, upon which
he has many head of stock, in
speaking of the Charlton that is
now destroying live stock in Lou
isiana, said:
"In bygone years, when hundreds
of mules and horses we're being
destroyed by this dreaded disease.
I never lost single animal, and
for the benefit of my neighbors
give with pleasure the simple rem
edy which / administered to each
of the animals that were stricken

whisky is necessary-and it should

Just like they would be for a snake
bite. Wherever the swellings ap-
pear they should be opened, wash
ed and cleansed, and then q solu-
ton of turpentine should be inject
ed into them.

SAVING THE SCRAPS.
An Economy that Has Become Common
Among Restaurant H~abitues.

you would be surprised, said a con-
tidential restaurant keeper, "at the
growing number Of my customers who
carry of with them portions of their
unfinished meals. Three or four years
ago the only person that used do to this
was an old French lady, who always
used two Of three Jumps of sugar that
we used TO serve with a cup Of coffee
and pocket the third. The next person |
noticed doing anything of the sort was
a young man who ate two out of his
three rolls, and. after looking a little
shame facedly round the restaurant,
reached up and dropped the third roll
into his o%yercoat pocket. The follow
ing morning he did the same thing, aud
now he always does it, and does il, too,
rs a matter of curse.
Both Of these little tricks, you will
observe, were at breakfast, and !
thought the explanation of them was
easy. / knew it was the custom in
France TO pocket the unused sugar, and

ton, | mean, except that of hard times.
for now it is done right and left and at
every meal. Why. sir, you'd be amused
or saddened, | don't know which. to see
the matter-of-fact way in which parts Of
a meal are saved. Some customers
bring little handbags and sweep every
unused thing into them. Others use

could. The customer pays for what he
is served with, and it doesn'tmuch mat
ter to me whether il is eaten here at my
tables or taken home by my customers
to be eaten at theirs. Indirectly. Of
course. it affects me-, because it means
that there is a great aud prevailing
spirit of economy abroad. and ii the
saved scraps from breakfast here can
be made TO do duty for or help u a

Whence Came Some Flowers

1867 saw the introduction Of -four time
honored favorites, the auricula from
Switzerland, the pink from Italy. the
gillyfower and carnation from Flan-
ders. Spenser, by the way, in the "Shep-
hearde's Calendar" Q570 classes the
c~arnation, which he calls coronation"
with the purple columbine and the gipy-
flower as lovers flowers. Now the car
nation is generally supposed TO have de-
rived It's name from the carnation or
flesh color Of the original species. But
the word used by Spenser suggests that
"carnation" is merely an abreviation of
coronation" in allusion to the crown
like appearance Of the flower. and It's
specific name. Betonica ~coronaria.
