REMEDIES FOR cHoLeRA
Five which Have Been Tried with
More or Less Success

Five Which Have Been Tried with
More or Less Success.
1. Equal parts of the tincture of
opium, red pepper, rhubarb, pepper
mint and camphor, well shaken, dose to
be increased from 10 to 20 drops several
times day when not Immediately re-
lieved
?. Two ounces each of alum, resin,
copperas, lae-suIphur, and cayenne pep-
per; pulverized, then mix tablespoon
fuls of the powder with one quart of
cornmeal, and dampen for use. This
is sufficient for II fowls, and may be eff
feetively used either as a preventive or
i cure for the former. Once or twice a
week IS sufficient. Rye or wheat soaked
in high wines or whisky is also said to
be good thing.
3. Blue mass and cayenne pepper
each one ounce; camphor gum one-half
ounce, and a teaspoonful of laudanum,
well mixed and made into pill of ordi-
nary size. Give one pill every hour I'M
til the purging ceases; also teaspoon
full of brandy morning and evening.
4. Cayenne pepper and prepared
chalk, each two parts; pulverized gen
part measurement, not weight. Mix
well together and form a paste, with
either lamb or sheep suet. Give a pill
the size of common marble once a day,
and keep in warm and dry place As
hours.
5. Carbolic acid, one drachm; gly-
cerin, one ounce. Mix thoroughly, add
ing one quart of water. OF this solution,
use two tablespooEfuls to one gallon of
water, allowing the fowls access TO no
other water.
The fountains and feed boxes should
be disinfected with carbolate of lime,
or carbolic acid. The water must be
kept cool, plenty of shade provided, and
free use of green food INDUCED in for
those not attacked. No food or water
with the exception of soft or moistened
wheat bread in warm milk is needed
for the diseased birds.-Western Plow-

INSANITY IN HORSES.
An English Writer Explains Why
He believes 1t Exists.

An English Writer Explains Why
He Believes 1t Exists.
Whether there are not some horses
that are actually insane is a subject
upon which opinions differ. On this
question an English writer says: Ihave
little doubt but that in many cases
where the horse shows sudden, unac-
countable fits of i'll temper, vice or other
demonstrations of strange conduct,
that the cause is due to cerebral affec-
ton. Horses may become temporarily
insane from certain forms of disease,
such as, among others, the development
IF a tumor on the brain. Fits of unac-
eountable vice may occasionally be the
result of organic changes in the brain
matter, as in man, and not to normal
mental disposition. 1 was recently told
Of young foal which sometimes was
subject to demonstrations of strange
conduct, accompanied at intervals by
what appeared fits or commissions He
was found to be suffering from water on
the brain, otherwise hydrocephalus.
He was operated upon surgicaIly with
a view to his relief, but even after he
was broken in and became made
horse" he never afterwards was trust
worthy either under the saddle or in
harness, consequently the owner parted
with him. Singular to relate, both his
dam and granddam were queer cattle,
and at various times were subject to
strange periodical alterations of con-
duct. In the case of the foal mentioned,
there can be little doubt that he was the
victim of hereditary brain disease, pro-
ductive of temporary insanity. Such
cases, I believe, are more frequent than
is generally supposed. Horses are not
always responsible for their actions.

CLEANING THE STABLE
An Autumn Duty Which No Dairyma
Should Neglect.

An Autumn Duty Which No Dairyman
Should Neglect.
Besides keeping the COW stable clean
day by day when used, there should be
athorough annual cleaning, and there is
no time when it can be better done
than at this season of the year. In this
process the whole stable should be
emptied and all remnants of fodder,
manure and litter be carried away. The
whole stable is then to be kept clean,
including corners, cracks and crevices
in walls and floor, and all cobwebs be
removed. The sweepings and litter
should be buried beneath the manure
heap or plowed under. If there is NOW
for coarse folders over the stable, with
cracks or holes in the ceiling above
the stalls, any remaining fodder in the
NOW should be removed and all swept
clean. After cleaning the stable scrub
all woodwork with hot water and then
whitewash it. By whitewashing, the
stable becomes lighter and more cheer
full, the woodwork is preserved, and the
development of heterogeneous, to inn
pure future milk, is checked. If any
contagious disease has appeared in the
stabie, then it should be thoroughly dis
infected. Evil micro-organisms are SO
plentiful in a filthy stable that it is i'm
possible to even get one milking from
a COW within it without having the milk
well charged with these destructive, in
visible organisms of evil portent.-Prac.

that they are of minor Importance when
considered in connection with the vital
matter of being able readily to identity
every individual in ones herd. 1t is
doubtful whether any system of perma-
nent marks has more to recommend 1t
than this. The marking is easily done
in calfhood and cannot be readily
changed or obliterated thereafter; so
that ear numbers could be written upon
certificates of registry to pass with the
animal from owner to owner as con-
slant means of identificati ton, and thus
become an aid in the maintenance of a
reliable record of pure bred animals.

AUTUMN CHICKEN COOP.

Four stakes are driven into the ground,
and bit of roof frame nailed to the
top. Over this is stretched and tackled
the cheapest kind of cotton cloth, a
door and ventilating openings being ar
ranged as shown in the sketch. Perches
can be nailed from corner post to corner
pest, diagonally, and the growing
chicks kept there till the weather be-
comes cool enough to make winter quar-
tiers necessary. The cloth can then be
taken off and saved for another season.

It is conceded that the best breeds for
producing broilers of the highest anal
ity are the Games and Dorkingsy ot it
is well known that the Wyandotfes,
Plymouth Rocks, Brahmas and Cochins
are more generally preferred. The rea-
son is that while they cannot compete
in producing broilers of the highest
quality with the Games and Dorkings.
the chicks are more easily raised, and
that is very important point IN win
ter. 1t is the losing of the chicks when
they are young that inflicts the heaviest

HOW 10 MARX cATILE
A New Method Described by a Well
Known Breeder.

Known Breeder.
The cut Reproduced from circular
issued by Mr.. Thomas MeFarlane, the
popular and enterprising secretary OF
the Aberdeen-Argus association shows
a method of marking cattle for ldentf-
fication that may be new to many read
ers. It is particularly intended Tor such
breeds as are uniform in color and have
no horns. Mr.. Harvey writes to the
Country Gentleman:
The use of ear tags, the tattooing or
branding of body or hoofs, etc, have
not proved permanent or generally sat
isfactory.
1t has been objected to notching the
ears of animals that too great care was
required; and also that the marking
disfigures the animal somewhat. There
is doubtless a degree of weight IN these
objections, though it must be confessed

fences and in apple trees. A simple plan
