CURE OF NANCE ON HoGs.-John
Cruze, of Lee county, Iowa, writes to
The Rural World as follows:
"Have just had some interesting ex'
perience with mango or scab on pigs
Lost IA out of Sc, from doaping them
with everything heard or read about
Was in despair, until common sense
came to my aid. figured it out that
it was a parasite under the skin, and
to cure the pig the parasite must be
destroyed. So I mixed up some tur.
pentine and coal oil, half and half
and added quite a bit of sulphur
Then, while the pigs were at the
trough, l squirted the mixture oil over
them, from nose to tail, by means of
machine oil can. Have not lost pig
since, and have not been obliged to
repeat the Dose"

WHY GRASS DIES OUT.-Whenever
the grass seeding fails, the blame is
usually laid upon the weather. But
that is not always correct, even in part.
Grass belongs to the same botanlca
family as wheat only the grain has had
a greater development of its seed.
All farmers understood that the wheat
crop needs phosphate to be grown sue
cessfully year after year, on the same
land. To be sure, the soil is cultira-
ted, and there is a new seeding with
some manure each year, for the grain
crop. Yet farmers think that grass,
without re.seeding, and without new
supplies of mineral matter, will con-
tiuue to grow. The result is that the
grass gradually dies out and is replaced
by moses or other weeds of low or
ganization that can live without min
eral plant food. Not only is the
amount of grass lessened, but its quail
ity is also impaired by lack of the
mineral. On land that has long been
without phosphate cattle will not
thrive, and COWS which give milk will
take to the eating Of old bones to Sc
cure the mineral nutrition they require.
People who have learned that ground
bone is good to make hens lay are apt
to forget that the more bulky COW has
an equally wonderful operation to per-
form. That is, TO take from her grass
feed the nutrition required to make
milk, which is less concentrated than
the egg, but contains very nearly the
same kind of nutrition. When we
began using mineral manures on grain
we found that the second and third
crops of grass seeded with the grain
did not pan out as they used to DO.
1t is far better to apply the phosphate
with the grain. The grass seeded with
it will get the effects of the mineral
|tertilizing for at least two years there
after American Cultivator.

ABORTION In Cows.-A cure for
abortion in cows has long been desired.
Mr.. N. A. Lind, breeder of Short
horn cattle at Rolfe, Ia, states that he
finds carbolic acid cure. In west
ern journal be states that, knowing
carbolic acid to be a deadly poison, he
feared to use it, but tried it on one
COW, giving her an eighth Of an ounce
in bran mash every other day. Find
ing that it did not kill her, and that
she improved, he gave it to the entire
herd, gradually increasing the dose to
half an ounce. The disease disap-
peared, the first COW has produced a
strong, healthy calf, and not case OF
abortion has since appeared.

AN ACCOMMODATING RAILROAD.

Several days ago a stranger made

and an uncertain look in his eye, and
asked:

To PREVENT LAMP CHIMNEYs
CRACKING.-Place the chimney in a
pot filled with water, and add little
cooking salt, allow it to boil well, then
cool slowly. Chimneys become very
durably by this process, which may
be extended to crockery, stoneware,
porcelain, etc. The process is simply
one Of annealing, and the slower the
process, especially of cooling, the
more effective will be the work. If
the glass chimney of lamp be cut
