Causes. — This disease is an eruptive fever, a specific blood-poison, peculiar to the horse, and is contagious. Changes of location and a morbid condition of the system will induce this disease in young colts and horses under three years old. Is more common in cold, damp weather. abscesses may appear on other parts of the body. In some cases the poison remains diffused without breaking out as indicated, the bowels are costive and urine scanty. TREATMENT.— Avoid bleeding or purging. If bowels are con- stipated give injections. Good nursing is most important. Keep up the strength with nourishing food. Feed with boiled barley, oats and W. V.xndekbilt's Team, " Eaklv Rose" and "Aldine HE World. Symptoms. — The first indications are nervous prostra- tion and loss of appetite, coughing, sore throat, discharge from nose and heavy breathing. The poison in the blood produces abscesses about the throat; sometimes a hard tumor grows between tlie branches of the lower jaw, or sliced carrots. Give him a warm, dry place and plenty of fresh air, avoiding drafts. Apply hot fla.\seed meal poultices to the swollen parts. When the tumor is stubborn trim the hair and apply blister of one part powdered Spanish fly, mi.xed with si.x pans of hog's lard. Give fora tonic, morning and evening, one dram of tincture of iron and one dram of tincture of .gentian. -A JvJ T> V J!i^ K DISEASES OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. INFLUENZA. Causes. — A blood disease, usually attacking young horses in the spring and fall. This is also known as an epizootic disease, and sometimes called " Pink Eye." Symptoms — It assumes a variety of forms, catarrh being more common. The first signs noticed are dullness, loss of appetite, hanging head, staggering from weakness, rapid breathing and quickened pulse, coughing, constipa- tion, colic, scanty and high-colored urine, large swelling of the legs, which are painful to the touch. TREATMENT.— As in case of Distemper, good nursing is most important. A clean, dry well-ventilated stable; cover with blankets with the disease has stood. The disease is caused by damp, foul air, bad food or privation. Symptoms. — It is called Farcy when it manifests itself in large corded swellings on the lymphatic glands and other tissues of the body. These tumo's, which are called " Farcy Buds," suppurate and discharge unhealthy-looking matter. Glanders affects the nose, also the throat and lungs. Ulcers form in the nostrils, from which there is a thick discharge. There are two forms of this disease, acute and chronic. The symptoms are the same, the only difference consisting in the time required for the disease to run its course. 'Salvator" — One of the Largest Winners of i8 and bandage the legs and give plenty of bedding. Oats and bran equa] parts, mixed and steamed, is the best food. To relieve colic give one pint raw linseed oil every si.x hours, or immediate relief may be obtained by giving injections of lukewarm soapsuds. If much cough, give three drams of tincture of belladonna, one dram of camphor, one ounce of sweet spirits of nitre, in half a pint of cold water, two or three times a day. Keep a pail of water in manger, .\pply liniment of equal parts turpentine, linseed oil and ammonia to the throat till slightly blistered, and hot water to the chest. Give twice a day a tonic of one dram carbonate of iron and two drams of powdered gen- tian, mixed with the feed. GLANDERS AND FARCY. Causes. — These are twins, being different forms of the same disease, either of which usually ends with both forms fully developed. It is contagious only by inoculation of the virus discharged from ulcers, and usually contracted by rubbing the nose on a post or a trough where a horse TREATMENT.— As the disease is incurable and is contagious to man as well as beast the horse'should be killed and buried as soon as it is diagnosed satisfactorily. When there are any indications of this disease, separate from other animals and await developments. Any treatment prescribed would only postpone the fatal termination of the disease. RHEUMATISM. Causes. — It is occasioned by exposure to cold by cool ing off too rapidly after becoming heated. Easily prevented by blanketing and by avoiding drafts and dampness. Symptoms. — The tendons and ligaments of the body and limbs are affected, attended by heat, swelling, pain and lameness changing from one joint to another. The parts usually affected are the shoulders, hips, fetlocks and knees. TREATMENT.— Bandage the legs with flannel and keep the body warm and comfortable. Apply as a liniment equal parts liquor ammonia, tincture arnica, tincture opium diluted in three parts water. K- -A DISEASES OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. Diseases of the Nervous System. INFLAMMATION OF THE BRAIN. Causes. — Results almost invariab!y from concussion, exposure to cold or dampness. Symptoms. — Delirium and fever followed by great pros- tration. The eyes bloodshot, mucous membranes red, rapid pulse, breath loud and Lard, loss of appetite and constipation. TREAT.MENT.— .Apply chopped ice or cold water lo the head con- tinuously. When the fever subsides apply blistc-s to the upper part of the head. One ounce of aloes, twenty drops of crolon oil, and two drams each of nitre and jjin.^er, made into two balls with ffa.\- seed raeal and treacle. Iniect blood-warm soap-suds. Let the horse be loose in a well-bedded, cool stable. Bromide of potassium in doses of two drams every three hours. MEGRIMS, OR VERTIGO. is a inilder form of apoplexy. C.1USES. — May result from over-exertion in hot weather, or from a collar fitting too tightly, causing a rush of blood to the head. SvMPTO.MS. — Twitching of the neck, throwing up of head, full veins of the neck and head, unsteady gait, and staggering. TREATMENT.— The horse should' be at once unharnessed and cold water dashed on the head. Avoid the usual but useless and dangerous habit of bleeding. STAGGERS. Causes. — This is a stupid condition, resulting from over-feeding on coarse, bulky diet. Symptoms. — Torpid bowels, scanty, highly-colored urine, slow breathing. The horse is usually found standing in a stupor, perhaps with his mouth full of food, indifferent to anything around him. Will stand with his head pressed against a wall; if made to move, will stagger; cramps and delirium may follow. TREATMENT.— Give no food and but little water. Give fre- quent injections of soft soap and warm water. Give walking exercise. A dose of the medicine prescribed for inllammalion of the brain should be given, with frequent injections per rectum. Setons should be applied to the neck and strong hartshorn liniment to spine and limbs. Smear on the root of the tongue, three times a day, physic composed of 15 grains of powdered nu.x vomica, one dram of carbonate of iron, 3 drams of powdered gentian root, mixed with treacle. Do not bleed on any account. SUNSTROKE. Causes. — The heat of the sun or over-exertion in hot weather, more common in large cities. Symptoms. — The horse will become weak and stupid, will stagger and breathe hard. Perspiration will cease and the body become dry and hot. He will become uncon- scious and death may ensue within an hour or two unless relief is obtained. TREATMENT.— On first indications stop in a shade, remove har- ness and apply cold waierto the head. Immediately wrap the body and legs with blankets and pour on hot water for the purpose of bring- ing the heat to the surface. If perspiration is re-established, the horse will soon recover. Never throw cold water <.>ver the body, nor resort to the antiquated method of bleeding. If it leaves him weak with unsteady gait, apply strong hartshorn liniment to the limbs with vigorous rubbing, and Spanish fly blister to the sides of the neck. Injections per rectum of two ounces of aqua ammonia, mixed with one pint of raw linseed oil. If the pulse fail, two-dram doses of carbonate of ammonia in water, or two-ounce doses of whisky in half a pint of water. If the convulsions p-evail, one-half ounce of bromide of potassium or one-half ounce of chloral hydrate. PARALYSIS. Causes. — Straining of the back is the most common cause. Or it may be produced by biows or bruises or by severe pressure of the halter. Symptoms.— Difficulty in drinking as well as chewing food. In paralysis of the hinder parts the animal lies in a helpless condition. The part affected is without sensation. If but one side is paralyzed, the horse drags his legs. TREATMENT.— Give ten to fifteen-grain doses of nux vomica twice daily. If unable to stand, make him a comfortable bed and turn each day. Apply Spanish fly blisters over the part affected after clip- ping the hair close; or, relief may be obtained by thoroughly rubbing with a strong liniment composed of one part each of arnica, ammonia, turpentine, opium, alcohol, to three parts water. LOCKJAW. Causes. — There are two forms. The idiopathic, the milder form, arises from e.vposure to cold from overheat- ing, or from derangement of the digestive organs. The traumatic is caused by wounds or other injuries, especially of the joints or feet. Stepping on nails is the most com- mon cause. Symptoms. — Difficulty in swallowing, respirations rapid, stiff neck and ears, hard muscles, profuse perspira- tion, swelling of the neck. The jaws are swollen, and usually locked tight within twelve hours. The whole body becomes affected, eyes fixed, saliva flows continuously from the mouth, bowels costive, urine scanty, no appetite, great thirst, but drinks with difficulty. TRE.^TMENT.— If the attack is severe and ij caused by a wound, it is incurable. The animal should be killed and thus saved from suf- fering. But if the case is mild, remove him to a cool, quiet stable; apply a linseed poultice to the wound. Give, without delay, a dose composed of one ounce of powdered aloes, and two drams each of nitre and ginger, made into a ball, and to keep the bowels open, place between the back teeth, once a day, one dram of solid extract of bella- donnamixed with half a dram of podophyllin. Apply blankets wrung out of hot water over the body. Presh cold water and thin oatmeal gruel should be kept handy. The horse should be kept very quiet. If this treatment fails, inject into the mouth, three times a day, dilute prussicacid, first day fifteen drops, increasing five drops each day, till you reach one hundred. Under no circumstances resort to bleeding or blistering. J\J Kr / DISEASES OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. SPINAL MENINGITIS. Causes. — This disease results from overcrowding in stables, poor ventilation, heavy feeding and insufficient exercise. Symptoms. — Excitement, twitching of muscles of neck and head, rapid breathing, quick pulse and profuse perspira- tion, cramps and convulsions, followed by blindness and deafness. TREATMENT. — Apply to iliebatk and ioin'i a continuous stream of cold water, or ice, follow with blisters of Spanish fly. The horse should be made comfortable and turned over three or four times a day. The following close, morning and evening, may prove ust-ful: forty drops of a mixture composed of one grain of atropia, ten drops of diluted sulphuric acid and eight ounces of water. Give a strong purgative and frequent injections of warm soapsuds. If the urine is stubborn, it should be withdrawn with a catlieter. Give three times a day three drams bromide of potash diluted with two parts water. Diseases of the Respiratory Organs. CATARRH, OR COMMON COLD. Causes. — Exposure to snow and rain storms and cold drafts of air, neglecting to dry the body thoroughly after washing, or allowing to stand after vigorous exercise with- out covering with blanket. Symptoms. — Loss of appetite, redness of nose and eyes, watery discharge of mucous at first, which in a day or two becomes yellow. Dullness, coughing, sneezing, rapid pulse and breathing, known as nasal gleet when it becomes chronic. TREATiMENT.— Place in a coo., well ventilated stable, put on a blanket and apply friction lo the lejjs. Give soft feed. Give twice each day a teaspoonful of saltpetre. If the throat is sore, apply once a day, until blistered, equal parts turpentine, linseed oil and ammonia. NASAL GLEET. Causes. ^The usual result of neglected or obstinate catarrh. Symptoms, — Discharge from one or both nostrils of a slimy yellowish and offensive matter. Frequent snorting, and coughing. Appetite uncertain. The general health is not seriously affected. TRE.^TMENT.— Iniect into the nose, twice a day, a solution of one dram carbolic acid to a half pint of water. Give once a day, in the feed, one-half dram each of powdered sulphate of zinc, and sul- phate of copper, three drams of powdered gentian root mixed with flaxseed meal. SORE THROAT, OR LARYNGITIS. Causes. — It results from exposure. Often accompa- nies catarrh or nasal gleet. Symptoms. — Swelling inside or outside of the throat, tender to the touch, dry and painful; cough becomes loose and rattling, after a few days breathing and pulse rapid. Discharge from the nose. Great difficulty in swallowing, the water when drinking frequently coming back through the nostrils. TRE.\TMENT.— Place the horse in a cool stable, avoiding drafts, clothe warmly. The head may be steamed, or rub the throat thoroughly with mustard and lard, and then wrap well with woolen rag; or warm poultices of linseed and bran meal may be applied to the throat. BRONCHITIS. Causes — An affection of the windpipe, and bronchial tubes, and often reaches the lungs. Generally a sequel of sore throat, and produced by the same causes. Symptoms. — Are similar to sore throat. The animal dull, great thirst, loss of appetite, imperfect circulation, indicated by cold ears and legs TREATMENT.— Follow treatment prescribed for sore throat. If there is fever, give six doses, every two hours each, of ten drops of tincture of aconite and plenty of fresh colil water. CONGESTION OF LUNGS. Causes. — Severe exertions, hard running, after several days or weeks of inaction or exposure to sudden and severe cold. Severe attack almost invariably followed by inflammation of the lungs. Svmp ti)MS. — Quick, loud breathing, wide nostrils, eyes bloodshot, and nose of deep red or blue color. Legs cold, sweating; the horse looks to be in great pain. Pulse faint, but quick. TREATMENT.— Remove harness or anything which interferes with breathing. Remove to a cool stable, fresh air. Give strong stim- ulants, 2 ounces each of aromatic spirit of ammonia and tincture of ginger in half pint of water, repeated every hour. Apply whisky or alcohol, with equal parts of water, with friction, to the limbs. A blanket wrung out of very hot water will be useful. Give frequent warm injections per rectum. INFLAMMATION OF THE LUNGS Causes. — ^Inflammation is generally the sequel of con- gestion. Is sometimes combined with Bronchitis. Symptoms. — Loss of spirits, a rush of blood to the lungs, a chill followed by fever, full pulse, quick breathing 25 to 30 respirations per minute, hot and clammy mouth Breathing changes to panting, nostrils wide, usually no cough, loss of appetite, urine scanty and high colored. Ears and legs cold, body hot. By applying the ear to the side a rough grating sound of the air in passing over the inflamed portion of the lungs can be heard. TREATMENT.— Follow treatment prescribed for sore throat, bandage legs. Frequent warm water injections. Give tincture of aconite root, ten drops every two hours, it^ustard poultice to chest. JK- -A DISEASES OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. After acor.ile, give, every three Imurs, i ounce each of aromatic spirits of ammonia and sweet spirits of nitre in one-half pint of cold water. Plenty of fresh water and soft feed. If convenient separate him from other horses. PLEURISY. Causes — Inflammation of the membrane called the pleura, which lines the inside of the chest and covers the lungs. If accompanied by Pneumonia it is called Pleuro- pneumonia, often is caused by exposure to cold or wet, especially by drafts in stable when the horse comes in heated by work. Symptoms. — Much resemble those of inflammation of the lungs. A chill followed by fever. Breathing rapid; short, painful cough. Pressure with finger between the ribs causes the animal pain. Pulse 50 to 70 per minute, loss of appetite. Ridge along the lower edges of the ribs. TRE.\TMENT.— Same as sore Ihroat and for inflammation of the lungs. Give, on llie Lliird day, a la.xative, 4 drams of aloes, one-half dram of podophyllin, and 3 drams of nitre, made into a ball. Give, m.:)rningand evening, for two days, t scruple of powdered digitalis and one-half ounce each of nitre and powdered juniper berries. Feed lightly. Give for a tonic, twice each day, i dram of tincture of gentian and i dram of tincture of iron. HEAVES OR BROKEN WIND. Causes. — Feeding on dry, dusty hay; over-exertion on a full stomach. The usual cause is rapid driving (espe- cially after being kept in stable several days without exer- cise), and if kept up, a rupture of the lung tissue may be the result. SvMiToMS. — Dry, hacking cough, irregular and difficult breathing, and jerking of the flanks. A wheezing sound is heard in the lungs by placing the ear against the side. TREATMENT. — It is incurable, but may be relieved by giving nutritive food in small bulk; cut-hay of the best quality mi.\ed with oats and water. Avoid timothy hay or any dry, dusty feed. Slightly wet everything he eats. Give, once a day for a week, in steamed or sloppy food, 2 ounces of flaxseed meal and 2 ounces of powdered lobelia seed. Discontinue a week and then repeat. THICK WIND. Causes. — When the mucous membrane of the wind- pipe thickens, hard and labored breathing follows. It is generally caused by the animal having suffered from repeated bronchitis or inflammation of the lungs. Symptoms. — The breathing is short and fast, particu- larly when violently exercised, or in heavy orup-hill work. Cough short and hacking, or dry. TREATMENT. — This disease is generally pronounced incurable, but some relief may be given by following a similar treatment to that given for broken wind. Extract of belladonna, 2 drams, and Fowler's solution of arsenic, one-half ounce, given twice daily during alternate weeks. COUGHS. Causes. — All affections and inflammation of the larynx and bronchial tubes are accompanied by a cough, and may differ according to the part affected ; and often remain as a permanent or chronic result, which latter is almost incurable. Coughs often follow diseases of the liver. Sy'MPTOMS. — Loud and forcible expulsion of air from the lungs. A strong, full cough, generally followed by sneez- ing, denotes health. When short, hacking, or less strong, indicates inflammation of the throat; while if deep, hol- low and resonant, the irritation is in the chest. TRE.\TMENT. — Coughs being depender.t on causes. In short, the cause must be removed; then, and only then, will the cough cease. It is very difficult to give course of treatment; though when cough is recent, bathe the throat well— up as far as the ears— at same time give internally, night and morning, in soft food^ one of twelve powders composed of one and one-half ounces gum camphor, one ounce of digi- talis, two ounces linseed meal, powdered and mixed. Diseases of the Digestive Organs. CRIB BITING. If habitual, the central incisors will show wear. The grunting sound produced in swallowing the air is called wind-sucking. TREATMEXT.— Place the horse in stall with very low mang^er, and lii^h liayrack and window. Place salt within reach, and remove all projecting objects. THE TEETH Causes. — Bad teeth frequently cause diseases of grave difficulties. Disease or injury of the jaw causes bad teeth, and frequently they are broken by stones which are found in -oats. Symptoms — The pain will cause the horse to hold his head to one side while chewing, or while drinking cold water. Sometimes there is an offensive discharge, which may be mistaken for glanders or nasal gleet. TREATMENT.— If the edges get sharp, or if one projects over another, use the tooth rasp. No use to till cavities. Better extract the bad teeth and fill up the socket with gutta percha. If colts do not shed old teeth as the new appear, the old should be extracted, and thus afford room for the new set to grow. WOLF TEETH, Causes — These are two small teeth, one of which is inserted immediately in front of each upper row of molars. TREATMENT.— As they are of no value, extract them with a pair of strong pincers; and, when the bleeding has ceased, wash with alum water. -7# LOSS OF APPETITE. Is an indication of internal disease or severe pain; or it may be the result of insufficient exercise. TuEATiviENT.— Change of diet. A laxative of ten ounces of glauber salts in a pint of warm water; add an ounce u( ground ginger. Place salt handy. Give reasonable exercise. INDIGESTION. Causes. — Feeding too soon after severe e.xertion. The horse should not be fed before resting one-half hour. Sudden changes of food from green to dry, from bulky to reverse. Unsound grain or hay. Too much strong nourishing food with too little exercise. Bad teeth. Overwork. This disease is not very common among horses. Symptoms. —Loss of spirits, unthrifty appearanoe, tongue and mouth coated and slimy, hide bound — manure yellow and offensive, pawing and switching with his tail. Showing- signs of colic. Gradual loss of appetite and wasting away of flesh. Tre,\tment.— First ascertain if the cause is bad teeth or unsuita- ble food and remedy the defect. Change diet. Feed frequently steamed or boiled food, but avoid feeding corn. Place salt, magnesia or powdered chalk within reach. If case is severe, give purgative fol- lowed by tonic in soft feed of one-half ounce each of carbonate of soda, gentian and ginger; repeat the dose morning and evening for a week. Discontinue a week and repeat. Give him a thorough groom- ing every day and abundant exercise. If the proper season, turn him in the pasture for two or three months. SPASMODIC COLIC. Causes. — Is often caused by some indigestible matter which irritates the lining membrane of the bowels. Expos- ure to cold and wet constipation, overfeeding and over- work. Large numbers of worms, intestinal tumors, drink- ing large quantities of cold water while in a heated condi- tion. .Symptoms. — Uneasiness, pawing, raising hind feet towards the bowels, getting up and down frequently, roll- ing around, grinding teeth, sweating profusely as the symp- toms increase in severity. It is sometimes followed by inflammation of the bowels, which is generally fatal. Treatment. — Give injection of warm water and a little soap. Give as one dose one-half ounce of chloroform in one quart raw lin- seed oil. If this does not soon bring relief, give four grains of mor- phine dissolved in one-half pint of water. Apply friction to the abdo- men, give as astimulant every half hour three ounces of whisky and one ounce tincture of ginger in one half pint of water. If the pain continues three or four hours, inflammation has probably set in and the treatment prescribed for inflammation of the bowels should be fol- lowed. FLATULENT OR WINDY COLIC. Causes. — Are similar to those of the former disease. Acute indigestion — fermentation of indigested food, caus- ing bloating and severe pain. Symptoms. — Frequent eructation of wind through the mouth. Discharge of dung with gas. Profuse sweating, rolling, kicking, haggard appearance. If the bowels are greatly distended the lungs may be forced into so small a compass as to cause suffocation. Treatment. — Apply friction and hot water rags to the belly. Warm water injections, being careful not to rupture the intestines with syringe. Walking exercise. Alkalies to neutralize the gases. Give every half hour three drams of aqua ammonia in a pint of cold water. As the pains subside, give the dose once an hour till they disappear. A dose of one ounce each of sweet sprits of nitre, tincture of ginger, tincture of gentian and laudanum in one half pint of cold water, will often give relief. If medicines fail, as a last resort call a veterinary doctor orany person competent to use the trochar and cannula in puncturing the abdomen to tap the intestine which is dis- tended with gas. DIARRHCEA C.\USES. — Sudden change from dry to green la.xative food; new hay, worms, exposure to cold and wet, bad state of blood. May result from indigestible food which irri- tates the bowels. Symptoms. — Frequent and abundant watery discharges generally acompanied with straining. Thirst, low tem- perature, pulse feeble, clammy mouth, poor appetite, cold ears and legs, grinding of teeth. TRE.\TMENT. — Ascertain the cause and remove it. Make a com- plete change in food. If due to indigestion give laxative dose, three to lour drams of aloes and one ounce each of bicarbonate of soda and ginger. No exercise. If this fail, give every three hours, one ounce each of tincture of ginger, prepared chalk, compound tincture of gentian and one dram opium. CONSTIPATION OR COSTIVENESS. Causes. — Inaction of liver. Too much dry food, and insufficient supply of water, lack of exercise, or it may be due to weakness of the bowels. Symptoms. — Small discharges of dry, hard, dark col- ored dung. Slimy and stringy with mucus. Colicy pains are felt at intervals. TREATMENT.— Give frequent warm water and soap injections. If colicy pains increase, give laxative medicines. Change diet to sloppy food. Occasional bran mashes, daily exercise. In summer gi\'e grass. ENTERITiS,OR INFLAMMATION. The mucous lining of the bowels is affected. Causes. — Over-feeding, indigestible and irritating sub- stances in the bowels. Constipation, cold settling in bow- els. Prolonged case of colic. Symptoms. — Continuous and increasing pain, profuse perspiration, great restlessness, loss of appetite, thirst, quick breathing, pulse 70 to go, cold extremities. It is usually taken for colic. With colic the pain is inter- mittent and the horse throws himself down. With inflam- mation the pain is incessant and the horse lies down care- fully. TREATMENT.— Genuine cases are usually fatal. Frequent warm injections, ope pint doses of linseed oil with one half o-^ince tincture nux vomica every hour. Alternate with four grains morphia. Apply Id. \ V K" "TT DISEASES OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. hot blankets to the abdomen every few minutes to draw the blood to the surface, follow with a strong^ mustard poultice. Give every hour doses of ten drops of tincture of aconite root until relief is obtained. PERITONITIS Is inflammation of the peritoneum or outer covering of the bowel. CAtJSES. — This disease often accompanies inflammation of the mucous membrane, or may arise from exposure or ex- ternal bruises or cuts. Symptoms. — Rapid and painful breathing, quick pulse, chills followed by fever, cold legs and ears, belly tuclced up, urine and dung scanty, swollen intestines. TREATMENT.— Follow treatmient prescribed for inflammation of the bowels. WORMS. Causes. — Several kinds of worms are frequently found in the rectum and sometimes in the colon. When they ex- ist in large numbers they are quite injurious to the horse. Symptoms. — Their presence is seldom detected unless they are very numerous. Appetite usually ravenous, de- pression of spirits, loss of flesh and strength, staring coat, hide bound, passage of worms with dung, licking of side, rubbing nose on wall and general restlessness produced by the irritation of the worms in anus and rectum. TREATMENT.-Frequent change of diet. Place salt handy. Give morning and evening for a week i dram sulphate of iron, i dram tarter emetic and 3 drams of powdered gentian with the food. Then give a purgative composed of one pint linseed oil (raw), one ounce of turpentine and 2 drams of ginger. Repeat the dose in three weeks, by which time the eggs adhering to the sides of the intestines will have hatched. Diseases of the Urinary Organs. NEPHRITIS OR INFLAMMATION OF THE KIDNEYS. Not very common among horses. Causes. — Excessive use of nitre or other diuretic medi- cines, etc , eating injurious herbs with the grass, such as ranunculae, eating musty hay or other unsound feed, ex- posure to cold especially when vpater from the eaves drips on the loins. Symptoms — Quick and hard pulse, rapid respiration, profuse sweating ; constipation; urine scanty, discharged with much pain, slimy and mixed with matter and blood. In walking the legs straddle; pressure of the loins gives severe pain. TREATMENT.— Give internally a quart of raw linseed oil. If there is no movement of the bowels in 8 hours, repeat. Give 10 drops of tincture of aconite root every hour, until the symptoms are im- proved. Apply hot cloths to the loins continuously, until the conges- tion is relieved, follow with mustard poultice. Give warm injections per rectum every hour. Give the horse all he will drink of cold lin- seed tea and slippery elm bark. If possible, induce perspiration by clothing very warmly. Feed lightly with soft laxative food, avoid giving resin or nitre in any form. CYSTITIS OR INFLAMMATION OF THE BLADDER. Causes. — Usually the same causes that produce inflam- mation of the kidneys; the internal use of Spanish fly, or too liberal use of turpentine or Spanish fly blisters over the loins. Symptoms — Similar to those of inflammation of the kidneys. If the neck of the bladder is affected, the urine can not be retained but escapes involuntarily. TREATMENT.— Same as for inflammation of the kidneys. DYSURIA, OR RETENTIVE URINE. Causes. — Spasms or paralysis of the neck of the blad- der, caused by long retention of the urine, by lockjaw, colic, rheumatism, or by stone or tumor in neck of bladder. Symptoms. — Frequent attempts to urinate, colicy pains. Through the rectum the bladder may be felt full of urine. TREATMENT.— Give frequent warm water injections and empty the bladder by passing in the catheter. Give every half hour i once of laudanum and % ounce each of tincture of belladona and aromatic spirits of ammonia in !4 pint of cold water, .^pply hot blankets to loins and abdomen. DIABETES, OR PROFUSE STALING. Causes. — Musty oats or hay or other unsound food, ex- cessive use of nitre or resin. Indigestion inducing thirst, causing the animal to drink very large quantities of water. Symptoms. — Frequent and excessive discharge of urine as clear as water; great thirst; capricious appetite; emaci- ation; loss of strength and spirits; constipation; slight fever; licking the walls, showing a craving for lime. TREATMENT. — A complete change of food. Turn out to grass if convenient. Give linseed tea instead of water to drink, with a little bi-carbonate of soda in it. Give thrice daily a ball composed of Ys dram each of iodide of potassiodine and alum, 3 drams of linseed meal, mixed to make a ball. CALCULI, OR STONE IN THE BLADDER. Causes, — The vegetable acids in the food become, by di- gestion, carbonic acid, which, by combining with magnesia and lime in the blood, is transformed into calculi. This transformation is seldom effected except when there is a scarcity of water in the system. It may be caused by profuse sweating, prolonged attack of fever, dysentery or diarrhcea. Symptoms. — Sometimes the urine is bloody. There is a straddling gait and colicky pains. Straining in passing urine, caused by the obstruction in the passage. TRE.A.TMENT.— To remove the stones, secure the services of a surgeon, and to prevent their return, feed liberally on grass in the summer and roots in the winter. Give abundant pure and soft water. If the water is hard, the mineral substance can be eliminated by apply- ing the ashes of hard wood or by potash or caustic soda. If there is little inclination to drink, increase the supply of common salt. -\J Diseases of the Eye. SUPERFICIAL INFLAMMATION OF THE EYE. Causes.— By cold and damp; by foreign substances in the eye, such as hayseed, lime, cinders, hair or by a stroke of a whip, or from inflammation of the membrane lining the inner surface of the eyelids. Symptoms — Swollen eyelids, copious flow of tears, red and inflamed lining, eyes nearly closed, sensitive to light. TREATMENT.— Carefully remove the object which irritates, sponge the eye and eyelids with warm millt and water. Place the horse in a darkened stall, and apply three times a day a portion o( a mixture of 2 drams each of laudanum and fluid extract of belladonna and I pint of rain water. SPECKS OR FILMS ON THE EYE. Causes. — Generally the result of inflammation of the eye or of wounds on the eye-ball. Symptoms, — Extended spots of dull-colored or whitish appearance, which interfere with sight and often cause the horse to shy. TREATMENT.— In the early stages blow into the eye once or twice a day a portion of i part of calomel and 2 parts of white sugar fine- ly powdered; and apply twice a day with camel's-hair brush a jiortion of solution of 3 grains of nitrate of silver in an ounce of distilled water. If these specks result from a wound, they are not generally removable. PERIODIC OPHTHALMIA, OR MOON BLINDNESS. Causes. — Is often caused by want of ventilation and drainage in the stables. Is frequently hereditary, some- times comes with shedding teeth, and is peculiar to coarse- bred horses. Is more common in the West. It invariably runs into cataract. Sv.MPTOMs. — Eylids inflamed. Pus formed as result of inflammation. Signs of fever often manifest. Abundant discharge of hot tears. Eyes closed to avoid the light. Urine scanty, costive, and poor appetite. TRE.'VTMENT. — Keep the horse in darkened stall, give a purga- tive, bathe the eyes frequently with warm water. Apply between the lids three times a day a portion 'if the following: Nitrate of silvers grains, water i ounce. CATARACT. C.-\USES. — Repeated attacks of periodic ophthalmia, or from old age. The common result of all inflammatory diseases of the eye. Symptoms. — The pupil of the eye is dilated and filled with a speck or white lines. TREATMENT.— In the early stages the eye may be cleared up by giving a purgative followed by tonics. When developed, no treat- ment will do any good. AMAUROSIS OR GLASS EYE. Causes. — Due to some disease of the optic nerve, or retina Results from injury to the brain, from falls, bruises or excessive fever. Symptoms — A sudden change from darkness to strong light, or the reverse, causes no expansion or contraction of the pupil If only one eye is affected the action of the horse may not be changed; if both, the head and feet are lifted high when walking. TREATMENT.— A cure cannot be hoped for unless the cause can be wholly removed. Diseases of the Skin. SURFEIT. Causes. — High feeding with little exercise, sudden at- mospheric changes, exposure, perspiration too suddenly checked. It is an effort of nature to work off the impuri- ties of the blood. Symptoms. — Surface of skin rough and scabby; some times considerable itching. The general health of the horse seems to be little affected. TREATMENT.— Blanket the horse, give bran mashes, steamed food, feed lightly, give a purgative, and give a sufficient amount of exercise each day. MANGE. Cause. — This disease is caused by insects which burrow in the skin. Mange is contagious by contact. Symptoms. — The skin becomes scaly and rough with pimples and blisters, especially on the neck, rump and tail. Hair falls off TRE.^TMENT.- Wash the affected parts with warm water and soap, when dry apply and rub well with a solution composed of 4 ouncesflour of sulphur in }^ pint of linseed oil. Give loosening food and purgative. In summer give abundant green grass. Give, morning and evening, among the food 1 tablespoonful of Fowler's solution of arsenic. Give spcc-al attention to cleanliness of horseand stable. HIDE-BOUND. Causes. — A general unthrifty condition caused by ex- posure to bad weather; chronic diseases; derangement of the organs of digestion ; poor or insufficient food ; dis- eased teeth; abuse or any other cause that affects the gen- eral health of the animal. Symptoms — The skin is dry and lies tight to the ribs; the hair is full of dandruff, has lost its gloss and is turned the wrong way. TRE.\TMENT.— The simplest and most effective treatment is to ascertain the cause, and remove it. If the eJges of teeth are sharp, usethe rasp. If properly fed, sheltered and exercised the animal will soon begin to thrive. 1^ ~A i^ DISEASES OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. CRACKED HEELS OR SCRATCHES. Causes. — Want of cleanliness, in cold and wet weather. Symptoms. — Cracks in the skin of the heels, generally of the hinder limbs, accompanied with more or less swell- ing. When dry the parts are hot and painful to the touch. TREATMENT. — Give special attention to cleanliness. Keep the parts warm with flannel bandages. Apply equal parts of lard and alum or an ointment of i ounce sulphur, 2 ounces tar and 3 ounces simple cerate. Give soft feed. WARTS. Symptoms. — Hardening of the cuticle, with development of semi-fibrous tumors, which are rooted in the skin. TREATMENT.— The larger warts which project from the surface of the skin may be removed by strong waited thread tied tightly round the base. Warts having a broad base may be removed with a knife, and the Weeding stopped by the touch of a hot iron, or they may be cauterized with lunar caustic. They may be removed by applyin;: lunar caustic once a day. When burned keep them covered with fiesli lard. LICE. C..\USES. — Neglect of cleanliness. Contact with lousy horses. Will often come in blankets, brush, currycomb, or anything that has been used on lousy horses. TREATMENT. — Wash well with soapsuds and make an applica- tion with A stiff brush of a strong infusion of tobacco steeped in water for one or two hours. Burn all the hairs that come off in grooming* and keep the hens away from the stable. Diseases of the Feet and Legs. FOUNDER OR LAMINITIS. Causes. — Inflammation of the inner wall of the hoot, called horny leaves or laminas, caused by sudden changes of temperature, over-exertion on hard roads, too much cold water, or by standing in draft while heated. Symptoms. — Sudden fever, great tenderness of feet, in- clination to stand in one place and to throw weight of body on hind feet. Profuse sweating, loss of appetite. TREATMENT. — Remove shoes and pare down rim of hoof till he can stand on the frog and sole, but do not pare away any of the sole or frog. Put the feet in poultices of linseed meal and bran. If much ten- derness prevails, scarify the skin above the hoof and give him a hot foot bath to induce bleeding before applying the linseed poultice. Wrap the legs with flannel. Reduce the fever by giving ten drops of aconite root every hour for 6 or 8 hours. Feed lightly on soft feed, scalded oats or fresh cut grass. WOUNDS IN THE FEET. Causes. — Nails, glass or pieces of iron getting into the feet. Sometimes in shoeing, an awkward workman drives a nail in the wrong direction. Symptoms. — Lameness, bleeding, hot feet; the horse is feverish and rests a good deal on his toe. TRE.\TMENT. — Remove the cause and apply poultice of linseed meal and bran. If this does not give relief apply equal parts of tincture of myrrh and tincture of aloes. QUITTOR. Causes. — Fistula of the coronet, may be caused by corns, or wounds, or when gravel or dirt gets into fissures between the sole and the wall. It may also result from over-reachings and treads. Symptoms. — Lameness, swelling, tenderness, heat and discharge of pus in some instances. TREATMENT.— Remove the cause and then apply a fla.xseed poultice to the foot. If caused by a corn, cut it down, inject to the point where the pus is formed, twice a day for a week, a portion of a solution of one part corrosive sublimate and twenty parts alcohol , CRACKS IN THE HOOF. Causes. — Dryness and softness in the hoof, alternating, faulty shoeing, too much rasping of the wall. TREATMENT.— After removing the shoe, tlie edges of the crack should be rounded off, without cutting into the depth of the crack. Cleanse the parts and apply linseed poultice. To keep out dirt, fill the crack with shoemaker's wax. Apply a light bar shoe, if the split extends the length of the hoof. Remove the bearing of the wall of the hoof from the split backward if the split is in the quarter near the heel, otherwise about half an inch each side of the split. CONTRACTION. Causes. — Is generally the effect of some other disease and accompanies nearly all chronic diseases of the feet, or may result from them. Long confinement in stable will bring it on. Imperfect rasping and ^hoeing, or allowing shoes to remain on too long without re-setting or putting on new pair. Symptoms. — The heels are drawn together, often to the extent of overlapping, the frog hard and dry and contracted. Sometimes the contraction is only on one side of the hoof. TRE.^TMENT. — Remove the shoes and pare down rim of hoof. Place on moist earthen floor, allow him to run out of doors on soft ground, if summer time place in pasture. Apply ointments. If re-shod use plain shoes witfiout calks. NAVICULAR DISEASE. Causes. — Diseased condition of the navicular bone caused by overwork, sprain of the lower part of the tendon, concussion, bruises on the heels and frog, improper shoe- ing, and the same causes that produce contraction. Symptoms. — Largely the same as those of contraction. Horse points the foot forward while standing. A short, tripping gait, with tendency to stumble, caused by walking on his toes. The lameness decreases after the horse has been driven a distance. The shoes will be found worn most at the toes. TREATMENT.— Follow treatment prescribed for contraction. After removing shoes and paring hoof, place the foot in a hot linseed poultice, changing twice a day, and continue for ten days. /V •f c -A lO DISEASES OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. CORNS. Causes. — Allowing too long a period between shoeing. A horse should be shod or shoes re-set every month. Symptoms. — Lameness, heat, tenderness. In severe cases swelling of the coronet, with formation of pus. An inclination to walk on tlie heel more than on the toe. TRE.\TMENT— Remove the shoe, and if there is much lameness or tenderness and swelling, pare down the corn to the quick, but be careful ni>t to start blood. If pus is found, apply fla.xsecd poultice. Ifthecase IS very obstinate, apply a bar shoe. After some tow dipped in tar has been placed in the cavity of the corn, be careful to rest or renew the shoeing every three or four weeks. CALKS. C-\usES. — Bruises or wounds of the coronet of the heels, caused by one foot stepping on the other, usually while backing with a heavy load, or while driving in deep, thick mud. TREATMENT.— Cleanse the parts with warm water. Clip the hair short round the injured parts and pare away all ragged edges. Apply warm poultice. In slight cases apply a coat of tar. If in healing proud flesh should appear, apply powdered sulphate of copper, or tincture of iron, or powdered sulphate of zinc. THRUSH. C.vi'sES — Ulceration of the frog of the foot which some- times rots off, caused by the horse standing in decaying filth or in manure and urine, which starts the decay by ex- cluding the air from the foot for a long time. Symptoms. — More or less lameness, tenderness of the frog, a discharge of a black offensive pus between the heels. TREATMENT.— Thoroughly cleanse the feet, removing all decayed matter, being careful not to wound the foot, which might induce blood poisoning if puscomes in contact with fresh wound. Apply fta.\seed poultice. Renew every day until it is dried up and then apply oakum dipped in tar. Keep the horse on a dry floor, or if worked keep him on dry ground. RINGBONE. C.\USES. — Enlargement of the pastern bones around the upper or lower pastern joint from deposit of bony matter in the form of a ring around the leg, from which it derives its name. May be caused by a sprain, cut or bruise, which induces inflammation on or near the bone. Symptoms. — In the early stage there is inflammation of the surrounding membrane of the bone, swelling of the ad- joining parts; lameness, especially on hard ground. TRE.\T.MENT.— In the early stages, reduce the inflammation with hot baths. Follow with several apolications each day of equal parts of nitrate of potash, ammonia and water and then apply blisters. If it does not yield to thistreatment, cauterize with a hot iron. SPAVIN. Causes. — Sprains of the hock joint in slipping, jump- ing or pulling heavy loads, or caused by bruising the joint. Sympto.ms. — The enlargement may be seen on the lower part of the inner side of the back joint, by standing at the side of the horse, near the shoulder. Stiffness and lameness which decrease as he becomes heated with exer- cise — starts off on the to: of the foot. There is but little swelling until it reaches the second stage, when a bony enlargement is observed. TREATMENT. — In the early stages, it may be cured by vigorous treatment to remove the inflammation which may be done by persistent application of hot water or fla.\sced poultices. The treatment should be similar to that prescribed for ringbone. SPLINT. Causes. — Jumping, running, bruises, or kicks on the shank bone, a tendency to bony enlargements. Symptoms. — Lameness when trotting. One or more small bony enlargements will appear on the inner side of the shank between the shank and splint-bone. These become united in time. There is swelling and tenderness. If not near the knee joint they are no permanent detriment. TREATMENT. -When the injury first occurs, apply either hot or cold water to reduce the inflammation; follow with tincture of arnica until the soreness is gone, then rub well two or three timesa day with liniment composed of two parts t'ncture iodine to one part each turpen- tine and ammonia. Give the ani.nal two or three weeks' rest. SPRAINS OF THE BACK TENDONS. Causes. — Severe sprains from leaping and galloping, or unusual exertion on hard roads; may be caused by over- work. SVMPTOM.s. — Severe lammcss, with swelling and sore- ness, and with a tendency to rest the foot on the toe. Sometimes knotty tumors will appear all along the cords. In case of long standing there will be a thickening of the ligaments and tendons. TREATMENT,— Apply hot water continuously until relieved of inflammation and soreness; after which rub well with a hniment com- posed of equal parts of ammonia, turpentine, arnica and opium diluted with three parts of water. Keep the hmb tightly wrapped with woolen bandages. Allow the animal to rest until all lameness has disappeared. SHOULDER LAMENESS AND SWEENY. Causes. — Shoulder lameness is sometimes due to rheu- matism, but is usually caused by a sprain of the muscles of the shoulder blade in slipping or falling, or by sudden starting and over-exertion in pulling heavy loads. While shoulder lameness is very common, sweeny is rare. The latter is a wasting away of the muscles of the shoulder blade. Symptoms. — The first symptom noted is lameness. The animal endeavors in walking to carry forward the shoulders and legs together without any movement of the knee-joint. In severe cases the leg can not be lifted over an obstacle a foot from the ground. There is swelling and soreness. Unless relief is soon obtained, the heads of the bones befome affected, causing permanent lameness. TREATMENT.— Should be similar to that prescribed for sprains of the back tendons. After the application of hot fermentations fol- lowed by a strong liniment, if relief is not obtained, apply a blister of one part powdered cantharides mi.xed with four parts lard. If this fail, setons may be used, but avoid the use of hot irons. In mild rases use strong hartshorn liniment. Sweeny may result from some disease of the lower parts of the limbs. \1- -XJ CURB. Causes.' — A sprain of the tendon which passes over and a little above the hock, frequently caused by backing a horse with too heavy a load, or by severe exertions in run- ning and jumping. Symptoms. — A curve or bulging is noticed on the lower portion and back of the hock from a side view. There is swelling, tenderness and lameness. TREATMENT. —Follow treatment prescribed for sprains. Remove shoes and re-set with heel elevated, after which give the animal abundant rest. WIND-GALLS. Causes. — Horses which are overworked frequently have enlargements around the fetlock joint, varying in size from a pea to a hen's egg, caused by too great a secretion by the synovial glands. TREATMENT.— Wrap the parts well and keep the bandages wet with a decoction of wliite oalc bark. If this doc3 not remove them in long-standinjj cases, apply liniment, followed by blisters. HIP LAMENESS. Causes. — Leaping, galloping, severe efforts in heavy soil, but most usually caused by the points of the hip striking against door-posts. In falling, the hip is generally the first point to strike. Symptoms. — In severe cases the muscles will waste away. The horse-usually goes forward in a stiff, dragging manner, with short steps. There is usually a slight swell- ing of the injured parts. TREATMENT.— Should be similar to any other sprain, using weak cr strong liniments and blisters, according to the degree of injury. As in all cases of sprain, give abundant rest. Do not apply setons c::cept in stubborn cases. STIFLED. Causes. — A derangement or dislocation of the stifle cap or patella, caused by slipping and twisting the limb at the same time; this is peculiar to colts when the ligaments connected with the patella are in a rela.xed state. Sympto.ms. — In cases of dislocation, the limb will pro- trude backward. In moving, the horse drags the limb affected. As the dislocation is inward, the limb is held upward and forward. TREATMENT.- Attach a rope to the pastern, pulling the limb for- ward and outward, the knee-pan can be put into its place by pushing toward the flank of the horse. The part should then be bathed continu- ously for an hour or more with a strong solution of vinegar and salt. When the inflammation is reduced, apply a blister. The animal should wear high-heel shoes until recovered. CAPPED ELBOW AND HOCK. Causes. — Is a bruising of the points and elbow of the hock, usually caused by kicking or lying down, by letting the elbow come directly on the floor, or by bruising the elbow with a shoe. They are usually seen on high spirit- ed horses, which become nervous from lack of sufficient exercise. Symptoms. — Swelling, with tenderness and soreness to the touch, but not usually accompanied with lameness. A repetition of the injury will often induce inflammation, or the swelling may sometimes become hardened. TREATMENT.— As in all cases of bruises, apply hot water for an hour or two to remove inflammation. After rubbing dry, apply a lini- ment composed of equal parts of arnica, ammonia and opium, diluted with three parts water. Apply this solution two or three times a day for one or two weeks. Should a tumor form, do not incur any risk of blood poisoning- by opening^ it before the covering is rery thin and dead, after which treat it as a case of abscess. Should a hardened tumor form at the elbow, have it cut out by an expert veterinary sur- geon. If the tendon is sprained, the animal will be relieved by applying a high-heeled shoe without toe pieces. These difficulties may easily be prevented by furnishing abundant bedding and by giving the horse sufficient exercise, SWOLLEN LIMBS. Causes. — Exposure to cold, wet or filth, or from diseases of the blood, as glanders. Symptoms. — Swelling of the limbs which may extend from the body to the feet, or which may be confined to the lower parts of the legs. There is stiffness and lameness. TREATMENT.— Ascertain the cause and remove it. Should the swelling remain, give the animal every morning and night in the feed two tablespoonfuls of a tonic composed of one ounce each of tincture of iron and nitrate of potash, mixed with four ounces of linseed meal. Apply friction to the swollen parts and then wrap tightly with a woolen rag saturated with a decoction of oak bark. Special attention should be given to daily exercise and to a diet of soft feed. WOUNDS. TREATMENT.— When the skin and flesh are laid open by cuts, kicks or collisions, the bleeding must be slopped immediately. If an artery is cut, which may be ascertained by the blood flowing in spurts, a compress should be placed between the wound and the heart. If the flow is steady a vein is severed, and the compress should be placed on the side of the wound furthest from the heart. If an artery is cut in some part of the body which can not be bandaged, it must be caught up, which can be done with a small pair of pincers, and tied, after which unite the edges of the wound with stitches, being careful not to draw too tightly. Generally, however, the bleeding may be slopped by tilling the cut with soot, cobwebs or lint. Clip the hair from around the wound. If the wound is very severe the horse should be placed in a shng. Should the horse become feverish, give every hour a dose of ten drops of tincture of aconite until the fever subsides. Bathe the wound three or four times a day, or inject with syringe a solution composed of one part each of laudanum and carbolic acid with thirty parts water, or a solution of either of the ingredients named with twenty parts water, or apply equal parts of tincture of aloes and tincture of myrrh. If proud flesh appears, apply alum. OPEN JOINT. CAUSES. — Falling on the road, bruises, cuts, priclis from nails or broken glass. Symptoms. — When serious there is a discharge from the wound of a pale, yellowish fluid of the consistency of the white of an egg. There is swelling, heat. The fever is sometimes followed by inflammation. TRE.ATMENT.— If neglected almost everv case will prove fatal from exhaustion. When the open joint is discovered wash the wound with tepid water containing; a few drops of carbolic acid. If there is a large lacera- kL J T tion of the skin, the wound should either be sewed or the edges should l)e united by plasters, but leave opening for escape of pus. To prevent movements of the joint, place the horse in a sling and ap- ply splints to the limb secured by bandages.

All classes i-'^^ and conditions are dependent upon i|'4^!5 it for their daily sustenance. Noth- i'i&' '"S can supply the place of the prod- ucts of the soil. Agriculture not only gives life to man and beast, but it is the founda- tion of all other business: all trades, all manu- factures, all commerce; in short, all business is the result, directly or indirectly, of agricul- ture. When the labors of the husbandman are rewarded v.'ith bountiful harvests, the spindles multiply, the ships are heavily freighted, and money plentiful. The nation that relies upon agriculture as its main product is independent and prosperous. The adaptation of agriculture to all ranks and conditions of society is wonderful. The king himself, without any loss of dignity, can be a farmer. Most of the presidents of the United States have retired from their high positions to the cultivation of broad acres, and were just as dignified, and the public as proud of them, as when in the presidential chair. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Jackson, VanBuren, Clay, and Webster prided themselves as much upon their skill in farming as in their guidance of the affairs of State. Many a professional man and merchant, with his head aching with the perplexities of his business, sighs for the quiet, simple pleasures of farm life. By living in the open air, and e.xercising his muscles most vigorously, and his brains more gently, he feels that the nerve- exhaustion and consumption of vital forces that have rendered life a burden will disappear, and sweet will be the sleep of labor. It is a fact, patent to all, that the really prosperous class, as a whole, is the agricultural. The farmer is demonstrably better off, more independent, fares better, lodges better, and gets a better return for his labor than the worker in the city. We often witness the anom- aly of thrifty farmers and starving tradesmen. The country must be fed and the farmer feeds it. There is nothing that can prevent the steady prosperity of the American farmer but the combinations and "corners" of the middle men that force unnatural conditions upon the finances and markets of the country; the gains of the farmers are slow but sure; speculation is not legitimate farm business. Farm stock can- not be watered like railroad stock and made to expand at pleasure. Those who go into farming ^ , -v 22 AGRICULTURE. -71 expecting to make sudden fortunes will be disappointed. It is a highway to health and competence, but not to sudden wealth and lu.xury. Agriculture is an art and a science, the in- dividual the artist; the science consisting in the combined experience of the most success- ful men of the present and past ages. To avail one's self of the benefit of science, the farmer should be a regular subscriber and constant reader of agricultural and horticultural periodi- cals, and a purchaser of the best books bearing upon his business. His library should contain agricultural, scientific, and literary works; the result will be a model farm, with ample build- ings, and all the best scientific helps in agricul- ture manufactured; his stock the best kept, and of the finest breed, and the envy of all. It has been a matter of common observation to those who study the tendencies and move- ments of American society that there is, on the part of the youth in the country, quite generally, an eager, restless desire to get away from farm life and go to a city. To this class of young people Shakespere wrote more than two hun- dred years ago, that it was " better to endure the ills we already have, than fly to others we know not of," and this remark holds good in its application to-day to the subject in hand. The temptations and seductiveness of city life; its opportunities for self destruction by gamb- ling, drinking, licentiousness, and a thousand other evils. The peculiar isolation and lone- someness of living and moving among people whose names, even, you do not know, is far from as pleasant as might appear at first sight. No one, by looking merely at the outside, can begin to tell the amount of magnificent misery and gilded poverty which exists within city walls. Besides, there is as much drudgery to be done in the city as in the country, and, if anything, even more; the work is as hard and steady; while different from farm life, it tires one out just as soon, and it is impossible to 43 find that rest and quiet found amidst the unex- citable country life, surrounded as they are in the city with the noise and confusion of pass- ing multitudes. The time was, when young business men could go into cities and do well, but that time has gone by and will probably never return, for the simple reason that our cities are over- crowded already, and there is no prospect of their growing less. Beware then, of that fool- ish fascination which the idea of living in the city is liable to exercise over every young heart and mind. With proper care and effort a coun- try life can be made just as enjoyable as a life in the city, and much more healthy and profit- able. How can it be done? By following out these suggestions: " Fill the farm houses with periodicals and books. Establish central read- ing rooms or neighboring clubs. Encourage the social meetings of the young. Have con- certs, lectures, amateur dramatic associations. Establish a bright, active social life that shall give some significance to labor." Above all, build, as far as possible, in villages. It is better to go a mile to one's daily labor than to place one's self a mile away from a neighbor; the isolation of American farm life is the great curse of that life. Europe for many centuries was cultivated by people who lived in villages, and this is the way all farmers should live, — settle in colonies, instead of singly, wherever feasible or possible. The man who ought to be the happiest of all men, is he who has a good farm, free from debt and under a good state of cultivation, with a cheerful, loving wife, and a number of healthy, bright, and dutiful children around to make music and assist in keeping his home- stead. The capacities of American agriculture as a whole have only begun to be developed. There never was a time when, and never a country where, husbandry could be carried on to such an advantage as in this country. l^ AGRICULTURE. 23 SELECTING A HOME. Human existence ituplies tlie necessity of food, raiment and shelter; a liabitation is scarcely less important to life than the questions of food and raiment. Happiness in civil- ized countries largely depends upon the comforts and con- veniences with which a home may be invested. Every man in this country, especially if he has a fiimily, should possess a home of his own, and generally this may be secured in a few years by industry, frugality and pru- dence. In a house of his own he feels not only that he is less dependent than wlien a renter of another's property, but there is an incentive to improve and beautify a home, to make it attractive, and thus add to its commercial value. This fact being granted, a few general suggestions relating to a selection of a place for a home and the construction of a house may prove of benefit to the inquirer. The first thing to be considered is a selection of a site. This will depend up- on the individual circum stances of each individual esse. As our words are now addressed to farmero we shall confine our remarks to them. We have previously advised farmers to locate in villages, but when this is impracticable they should select a somewhat ele- vated location, as it has many ad- vantages, a m o n g whic h may be mentioned attract- iveness of view, salubrity of atmos- phere, good drain- age facilities, etc. Such a site should be easy of access, should be protected or sheltered from the northern or western winds and storms by higher grounds or belts of timber. Avoid the steep, uni- form side of a hill closely surrounded by other hills equally high and steep; local and climatic considerations should govern the selection; do not forget that suidight everywhere is highly necessary to health and comfort. Avoid the north or west side of a hill. Avoid the proximity of stagnant swamps, bogs, marshes, and sluggish streams, as no com- bination of circumstances can compensate the lack of a healthy atmosphere. When the surroundings or location of the place will permit of it, place the dwelling so that a view of a pleasant landscape may be had. If there are trees growing on the site some of them may be not only orna- mental, but useful in furnishing shade to portions of the dwelling, or supplying a cool retreat on a hot mid-summer A CONVENIENT HOUSE IN THE ENGLISH OR RURAL GOTHIC STYLE. day. Trees to the north and west will screen the house from prevailing winds, but such trees should not be too plentiful or too near to harbor too much dampness. If the place be bare no time should be lost in supplying them with such varieties as are most desirable, where they should be planted with due regard for utility and artistic arrangement. A Convenient House. It is not the design of the author to furnish details for the construction of houses; the wants, tastes, and circumstances of different persons are so varied in this behalf that an at- tempt to meet them in the limits of this book is impractica- ble. There are numerous excellent books on architecture which may be consulted with satisfaction and profit by those who intend to build, in which may be found information and explanations suited to each one's circumstances and taste. A well-defined idea of what one wants is necessary before beginning to build ; then employ competent men to build it, tell them distinctly what is required, and see that they fulfill theircontracts. If an architect is employed do not leave everything to his judgment and discretion. A re- mark that has often been made will bear repetition here, to wit: that a man's wife is one of the best advisers in re- gard to planning a house. She is to be the presiding genius in tlie prospective homo, she it is who is to make it an earthly kingdom, the place of all others on earth to be de- sired, a cheerful happy home. The very first thing to be considered after the location is decided upon, is convenience and comfort. Never sacrifice these to appearance or fashion, or uniformity in a neighbor- hood; it is as easy and cheap to build attractively or neatly and preserve these primary requirements as to construct an unsightly and forbidding house. There is no end to badly arranged and badly built houses, .and the explanation thereof generally is foimd in the lack of sutlicient knowledge of what is required in building on the part of both those who have had them built, and the mechanics who have constructed them ; hence thoroughly mature a plan before commencing to build. The next step is to see that the material put into the house is in all respects suitable. This is of great importance, as on it depends the expense of keeping the house in repair. a \ 24 AGRICULTURE. Ventilation must not be neglected . Science and experience have sliown that impure and vitiated air is the most fruitful source of disease among mankind, hence the imjiortance of thorough ventilation. Gervasse Wheeler succinctly states the excellencies of a house to be: 1. Convenient arrangement. 2. Facility of construction and repair. 3. Perfect protection from heat and cold. 4. Adequate means of warming and ventilating. 5. Conforming with the scenery around. Water Supply. One of the first things to be considered in making or securing a house is the water supply, and wherever practica- ble water should be bronglit into tlie house and yard. A spring or running stream may be utilized for this purpose, and by the use of a hydraulic ram water may be forced into pipes leading to the various rooms of the house. Some- times a spring may be found at an elevation which will per- mit the water to flow into the house without artificial help. Water should not be per- mitted to stagnate ; the air should be admitted to it freely by leaving cisterns exposed and uncovered ; 'and these should be located and con- structed where this object can be reached. Hard water rendered so from excess of carbonate of lime, can be rendered soft by boiling sui^'iciently ; also bv sulphate of lime (gypsum), by carbonate of soda, by potash added twenty-four hours before the water is needed, or by ex- posing it in shallow tanks two or three days to the air. The remedy being so simple, persons living where the moun- tains, limestone, or chalk abounds, need not use hard water, nor need they drink it where gypsum is found. Easy tests of good drinking water are, that it readily dis- solves soap without curdling, and that it cooks vegetables well, especially dry vegetables, as peas. Drinking water should be limpid, scentless, insipid (not flat or vapid), giving no sensation of weight when taken on the stomach, yielding but a slight precipitate to the nitrate of silver, the nitrate of barytes and the oxalate of ammonia. Its temperature should not greatly differ from that of the atmosphere. Cisterns. In many cases the water supply depends largely upon cisterns and reservoirs. There are many districts of coun- try where springs and wells cannot be depended on for an adequate amount of water for domestic purposes; while SI-XTIONAL VIKW OF A COMPAH TMINT CIST ¥MS. seasons occasionally occur which are so dry that even in localities considered well-watered, persons are put to serious inconvenience from lack of water. Hence, cisterns are made to take the place of wells and springs, where the latter cannot be depended upon. Brick and stone are largely used in constructing cisterns, though many preler a cheaper method and nearly as effi- cient by sinking a hole in the ground and plastering with liydraulic cement directly upon the walls of earth. Plank is sometimes used, but this method is objectionable. Water falling upon the roofs of buildings and conducted by troughs and spouts to tlie cisterns is necessarily impure. Dust, soot and other impurities in the air that have accu- mulated on tlie roofs are washed down in the first fall of rain, and carried with the water into the cistern. These impurities may be removed by filtration; no one need be in want of wholesome water if well-known means are em- plo3-ed to secure it. If the cistern is to be the main supply for water for domestic pur- poses, a roof of slate is prefer- able to all others ; next to slate the use of shingles is recommended ; the use of composition roofing material, into which pitch and coal tar largely enter, should be dis- carded, as they impart a dis- agreeable taste to the water, which is next to impossible to remove. It is a good plan to divide tlie cistern into two com- partments by a wall of brick or stone, water tight, to within six inches of the bottom. In this space place a box with al- ternate layers of gravel, sand and pounded charcoal. One compartment will receive the water and the other contain it filtered and ready for use. The following engraving shows a sectional view of a cistern constructed after this method, and from it the description given is readily under- stood. As cheap and easy a mode as the plan above given, is to take a cask holding perhaps a hundred gallons, and place by the side of the larger cistern and quite near the surface of the ground ; an aperture in its bottom, over which is secured a large sponge, is connected by a good siited pipe of wood or clay, w ith th.e main tank. A third part of the cask is now tilled with the charcoal and gravel, the conductor from the house is led into it, and the thing is complete. This has one great advantage : the filterer can be often and i-eadily cleaned ; while in the other case it is necessary to remove all the water and go down deep in order to accomplish the work. To find the capacity of cisterns the reader is referred to the tables given at the close of this chapter. ±t. AGRICULTURE. 25 Cellar, Store Room and Ice-Houses. The practice of constructing cellars under dwellings is not one to be commended, as many dangerous fevers have been caused by the foul air from dark, damp and badly ven- tilated cellars; confined air without the purifying influence of sunlight soon becomes impure and unvvliolesome, and in a vast number of cases, cellars beneath houses serve as a reservoir for such impure air, which in addition is often loaded with the decomposing organic matters and foul gases given off by decaying vegetables. Wliile admitting that they are very useful, the evil connected with them is of such magnitude that their entire abolition would prove ben- eficial to everv household. Where practicable, a cellar for storing vegetables for winter use should be disconnected from the dwelling, or at least not directly beneath. Wher- ever located they should be kept clean, pure and well ven- tilated. It has not been very long since ice was looked upon as a luxury, now it is everywhere considered a necessity of civil- ized life. It is not necessary to specify the numerous cases in which ice serves a use- ful purpose ; notwith- standing its utility, there are many far- mers' families wliere it is a stranger in sum- mer. This luxury may be enjoyed by every- one at very little cost •where the winters are cold enough to form ice. A few dollars ex- pended for lumber will make a house that will last for years. A few days in winter w-heu there is comparative leisure will aftbrd time enough to procure a supply of icf sufficient for sum- mer use. Formerly it was believed that an undergi-ound structure was necessary for the preservation of ice. Such is not the case; but it is sometimes more economical to build into the side of a hill, and this plan saves some labor in handling ice. Where this plan is chosen a hill facing the north is tlie best to select, and high enough to allow of complete drainage. Damp is more prejudicial to ice than heat, hence it is believed that ice-houses above gr und are the best. For a cheap ice-house th; following is a very good plan: Make a frame ten feet square, of „tudding two by ten inches, and eiglit feet high. Eoard up rn each side, and fill in witli sawdust. Shingle the roof with a ventilator on the lop; when the ice is put in, cover with sawdust to the depth of three feet. Bank up with dirt, which nwt only forms a drain but cuts off all chance of a draught of air from below. If sawdust can not be had, chaff or fine straw will answer the purpose. BARN SUITABLE FOR SEVENTY-FIVE ACRES. In all plans for the construction of ice-houses the essen- tial point to be secured is tlie use of materials which are non-conductors of heat. The next important point is to secure perfect drainage. The collection and storing of ice does not require any elaborate description. The best time to save it is when it is perfectly solid, and before it has become honey-combed by warm weather. It should be cut or sawed out of the lake or stream in solid blocks, as large in size as can be conven- iently handled, and it should be stored while the weather is favorable. Barns and Other Buildings. A very wealthy and distinguished Illinois farmer, when asked to point out his house, said, pointing to a large and commodious structure, " Yonder, sir, is my barn, it matters not about the house; the barn shows the status of the farmer." While not fully agreeing with this gentleman and believing that the family deserves the first and best attention, and no im- provement gives such material value to a farm as a good, con- venient and comfort- able home, the author admits the force of the farmer's remark, in that one can judge the " status " of a farmer by the size and con- veniences of his barn and out - buildings. Barns are useful rather than ornamental; sheds and out-build- ings of every descrip- tion should follow the same rule. It is pleasing to note the great change in the past few years, in the construction of farm buildings. The barn, from being a rough, unpainted structure, has grown to be something which has required some thought in its plan and details as well as beauty in its adornment. The following plan for a barn, taken from one of our lead- ing agricultural papers, is of a size suitable for about seventv-five acres of land under cultivation on the system of mixed husbandry, but the size may be either ex'anded or diniinislied to answer all requirements. The principal floor is so constructed that a loaded wagon can be driven in at one end, unloaded and then pass out at the other. The granary and horse stables are situated on one side ; the bay, which will hold about forty tons of hay, is on the other side ; in addition, there is room on the plat- forms c\'er the floor and horse stables to hold about twenty tons more; the basement may be used for the storage of roots, which are drawn in on the barn floor and dropped down through' a trap. The cattle pens are also in the basement. ^1 ^'^ — ^ .J- . 26 AGRICULTURE. Miscellaneous. Of the implements most used only the veiy best should be used. Of animals, the best of all kinds should be selected, even at a greater cost than the more common ; a farmer should take into account the use and profit of his stock; fancy animals are not always the best paying. Manuring and draining must be faithfully attended to by the farmer who desires to make his farm pay. J. J. Thomas, in his prize essay on " Farm Management," says the principal essentials to good farming are : Capital enough to buy the farm and stock it well. The judicious selection of a farm of a size compatible with these requisites. To lay it out in the best manner. To provide it well with fences, gates and buildings. Tlie selection of the best animals and the best imple- ments that can be pi-ocured at a reasonable price. To bring the soil into good condition by draining, manur- ing and good culture. A good rotation of crops covering every part of it. A systematic arrangement of all operations, so that there shall be no clashing or confusion. Diligence. Good management of business affairs, buying, selling, etc. The following remarks on " How to Make the Farm Pay, and the Methods Employed," are from a successful fanner in Eastern Ohio, who lias a farm of one hundred and four- teen acres, which iiave been under cultivation for nearly three-fourths of a century. Rewrites: "My method of farming is as follows: — A sod is broken up in the Spring and well top-dressed with stable manure, then planted in corn. The next spring it is planted in oats, and in the Fall again top-dressed with a mi.vture of about twenty-five two-horse wagon loads of stable manure and one bushel of common salt. The ground is then thoroughly pid\'erized ^vith the harrow and roller, and sown in_wheat and timotliy. Of my crop of 1S79 tliere were in wheat twelve acres, sown with the drill one and a half bushels to the acre, wliich produced five hundred and ten bushels of good clean wheat. The variety was the Clawson, obtained from the Agricult- ural Department, Washington, six years ago. Over two hundred bushels of tliis wheat Isold for seed. From sixteen acres of oats I reaped nine hundred and five bushels, having sown by the drill t\yo bushels to the acre. I had four acres Himgarian grass, twelve acres of timothy, eight acres of clover, eight acres of corn in rows three and one half feet apart, with a drill dropping one grain every twelve inches. Corn planted in this way produces large ears in place of so many small ones. I had also four acres in potatoes, onr acre of sweet corn. With the corn I planted pumpkins — in every other row of corn — about six feet apart in the rows, and had ninety-five loads. I had sixty-five acres of my farm in the crops, and left forty-nine acres for pasture for the stock. I keep six horses to do the work of my farm. Last year I raised eighteen Berkshire hogs and ten sheep on my place. My sheep raised fourteen lambs, and I clipped no lbs. clean washed wool. I have forty milch cows, which produce an average of eighty-one gallons of milk per day. This milk I send to town, where I receive an average of twenty cents per gallon. The produce of six days I sell, but that of the seventh I keep to make butter for the family. My cows are tied in the stable to be milked and fed. I have a small engine attached to the stable by which all the feed is steamed. This engine runs a machine which cuts all the hav and straw ; also a pair of burrs which grind the corn all in the ear. Equal portionsof this meal and mill feed are taken, mixed with the cut hay and straw, and all steamed together. The pumpkins are also steamed. Three pecks of this mixture are fed to each cow twice a day, after which a little dr/hay. In the winter fodder is fed to them in the barn-yard in the middle of the day, at which time in sum- mer they are turned into pasture. My cow barn is fifty-four feet long, thirty-eight feet wide and twenty-four feet high. It is divided so as to hold four rows of cows — two rows facing each other, divided by a gangway from which they are fed. Tlieroom above I make use of for storing hay. I have the st.ible cleaned out every dav, the manure and urine being run out together while the cows are absent; and a good bed of straw is allowed to each cow. My grain barn is 60 x 40 feet «nd 24 feet high. It is a bank barn with a horse stable underneath, and is fitted up with a hay-fork underneath. The fences on my farm are mostly board and wire.

F ALL the servants of man, the horse assumes the front rank, on account of many useful quah- ties, great beauty and high intel- ligence. In war, as in peace, in the pursuit of pleasure as surely as in the prosecution of business enterprises, the horse is our efB- cient helper, and it is not too much to say, he is our friend. No person ■worthy to be the pos- sessor of this noble animal will need an appeal from us to se- cure him fair considera- tion ; but a few facts, well known to the accom- plished horseman, may be conveniently arranged in this chapter, for reference, in any emergency that may arise, as an aid to the less accustomed in the horse- loving fraternity; so that the intelligent animal may have all the advantages ol well-diftused information, in the treatment of the thousand and one incidents and accidents that will befall in the best regulated home. For the history of the horse we have no space. Gentle training is essential to successful management. We have seen men in charge of horses using such brutality in handling them as seemed to demand, not only the inter- THE ARAB1.\N HORSE. ference of the police, but really an exposure in the pillory. Therefore our first words of caution are addressed to the importance of procuring kind grooms; men who will give care and generous treatment to the quadruped at all hours, with that firm hand that will not allow a doubt to rise in the brain they govern as to reasonable mastership. Such a groom adds years to the life of the horse, and de- grees of comfort that cannot be stated to the daily experi- ence of the family, to which he becomes attached. The horse should be accustomed to the du- ties that are afterward to be exacted from him, by slow degrees. Then the work is never irk- some. Work is nat- ural. If theanim.al were allowed to run at large unbroken, the amount of exercise that would be voluntarily taken, as a rule, would be found in excess of that neces- sary to train for a 2 140 gait. The difference is as between the play- ground and the gymna- .sium. In the one in- stance your boy ex- hausts himself by vio- lent running and jump- ing; in the other his muscles and tendons are trained by a master to the fullest development without needless fatigue. The cases are par- allel. Veterinary practice has greatly improved of late years, and many ailinents that afTect the horse are so critical as to demand professional treatment on the instant of discovery. -¥ ■^K* ♦^^ 28 HORSES. Other ailments are so trivial that your groom, if a man of average intelligence, may safely be trusted for all the medi- cation that is required. Influenza is troublesome and dangerous, and if severe the surgeon must be sent for; but sometimes that functionary lives at a distance, or, being near, he is still so much en- grossed by prior claims as to make it expedient that you should be instructed. Discard all advice as to bleeding, keep up the strength of the animal, see to the ventilation of the stable, preserve the warmth of the patient with clothing, and as soon as possible obtain advice. Roaring and whistling are incurable results of influenza, which must be avoided. Common colds are hardly to be distinguished from mflu- enza in the earlier stages, and the same rules apply; but a bran mash with scalded oats, and fever drinks occasion- ally, with rest and qui- et, will restore health- ful conditions. Congestion of the lungs comes on with shivering, working of the flanks, and quick, hard breathing. This is a case for the sur- geon, as delay may cost a life. See to it. In colic the animal suffers from distension of the bowels and much pain at inter, vals. When there are no intervals the ail- ment is inflammation. In either case call the doctor. Avoid gross feeding and you save from pain and danger. Thrush arises from one of three causes : a habit naturally gross, gross feeding, or filth. The symptoms are foul dis- charges from the frogs of the feet. Give an opening dose at once, let the diseased horn be removed, and use common salt as an exterior application every two days. The feet must be kept dry and clean. Much will depend on the state of the stable and occasional alteratives. If your horse comes down on his knees, let the wound be washed with warm water to reduce inflammation and take away foreign matter, then poultice well, and with care the hurt will disappear. Drive with a tight rein afterward. Wounds of various kinds may be treated in much the same wav, with cooling lotions if the hurt is severe. Bini- odide of mercury is a good dressing to reduce consequent swellings. When a wound is of such a kind as to require such treatment, wash well, then sew, and dress with arnica and water. Swelled legs and cracked heels demand tonic treatment. After a summer at grass these symptoms are to be looked for, if the animal is put to continuous work; but an alter- ative and good diet, with steady exercise, will correct it. Cracked heels call for gentle exercise, a dry stall, good washing, and application of glycerine ointment; that treat- ment long continued will remedy most cases. Splints are bony enlargements, usually on the inside of the fore legs. Rest and a strong blister will be the cure. Lameness arising from over work will abate with rest only. Curbs need not be described. In bad cases firing is neces- sary, but when the hock is well formed rest will give relief. Use a cooling lotion and biniodide of mercury externally, and an occasional dose of medicine. Strains occasionally afTect the tendons and ligaments of horses that are put to violent exercise. Treatment must de- pend on circumstances, but usually a dose of physic oc- casionally, cooling lotions locally applied, and a long rest will meet the case. In severe strains strong blisters and even firing may be indispensable. Bone spavin comes from strain and very hard work. It is an osseous, or bony de- posit, inside the joints of the hock. Treat- ment should commence as soon as the first symptom appears, as, for instance, the horse always starting lame. If the matter is neglect- ed the mischief soon grows incurable, but in the early stages much may be effected by prop- er handling. Blistering and firing are potent remedies, but they are not invincible. Much depends on the part of the hock affected. Even though a cure may be impossible, it is soinething to know that alleviation follows early use of our remedies. Corns often result from bad shoeing, and in that case the farrier has much to answer for. The corn indicates injury to the sensible sole, to which horses with weak and low heels are specially subject. Treat as soon as found and corns will yield ; but when of long standing there is no cure. Much may be effected by way of mitigation. The corn may be pared, shoes adapted to avoid pressure on the heel, and many ointments are vouched for as peculiarly useful in les- sening inflammation and pain. Some preparations have the eflect of promoting the growth of horn, and they may be had recourse to, if required. We do not suppose that we have enumerated all the ills to which horse-fiesh is heir, but the more common have been indicated, and every lover of the horse will welcome our few instructions. ■^«- J!i ^ HORNED OR NEAT CATTLE. 29 '#^;/,l^;-/v _ _ 1 ki"^ ^ ' " 13 q / >.^> ^^^ ^"^ / 7: HE milky mother of the herd must have first thought under this head, and it is matter for re- gret that we are restricted in our brief dissertation to such items as are sure to be of practical value to the possessors of cattle who look to these pages for infor- n and instruction.

The best breeds come from England and Scotland, where about one h^ndred years ago a wealthy farmer, Bakewell, persuaded his neighbors that it would pay to breed only from the "ery choicest animals. The chief varieties come under the heads of the Shorthorn, divided into Holder- THE AYRSHIRE COW. ness, Northumberland, Durham, Yorkshire, and others; the Cheshire, Lancashire, Devon, Hereford, Galloway, Highland, Ayrshire, Shetland, Welsh, Irish, Alderney, and Sufiblk. Long after it was universally accepted that the sire should be thoroughbred, farmers adhered to the curious heresy that it did not matter as to the dam whether she was of good blood. That idea is now exploded. There is, of course, danger in "breeding in and in," but no such necessity arises to make it indispensable that the choicest strains should £_^^ be crossed with inferior blood. A wise eclecti- cism can always find desirable qualities that may be incorporated with the best blood on the ranch, and the in- terchange should prove of mutual advantage. Cows near calving tirr.e must he watched (l.iv and night by an experienced herdsman, and should not be kept in too high condition ; if they are too high , they must be bled and dosed with sal ts about ten days before the time. Dose : one pound of salts, thoroughly dissolved, with about two ounces of ginger. Four to five pints of blood may be taken, but wise care dispenses with such measures generally. Milk fever is marked by the udders becoming hard, and must be treated by early stripping the milk from the part most affected, and rubbing gently with warm water and soft soap. Hoove is occasioned by giving too mucli rich food in M s «* f-M-aoTitL ae.. FINE JERSEY COW. ^^ SFT CATTLE. ■^ 31 some cases, but it arises also from poorly-fed animals being kept in undrained meadows on coarse but copious diet. Lime water and turpentine may be administered in the early stages, before the insects that cause irritation have gone beyond the windpipe, but after the lungs are affected, no remedy can be trusted. The parasite is seldom found on upland pastures, but is breathed in on undrained lands. Pleuro-pneumonia is a disease that demands veterinary skill on the instant of discovery, and a seton in the dewlap is said to divert inflammation from the chest. The infec- tious nature of the attack makes it important that the ani- mal first affected should be isolated from the rest, and the utmost care is required to house and tend the herd — the well as well as the sick — through the infection. For the rest, be guided by the surgeon. Choking can generally be relieved by tnechanical press- ure of the hand, or by the use of a proper tube, such as is employed to enable the animal to e.\pel wind from the stomach when the ruminating process has been stopped by too rapid mastication. In either case action must not be delayed, or death will result from suffoca- tion or distension. Lin- seed oil may sometimes be administered with suc- cess in distension, and we have known cases in which relief followed the puncture of the stoinach with a penknife. Care in feeding obviates much suffering. Calves are often attacked with diarrhoea, and in such cases a tonic with a small dose of opium will suffice. In cases of garget in young calves, put a seton in the dewlap and house the sufferer warmly. Inattention and want of proper nour- ishment may speedily beget a terribly infectious malady. Care and precaution are better than cures. Animals are sometimes found foaming, refusing food, and evincing lameness. These are the signs of "foot and moiith disease," attended by slow fever. A pound of com- mon salt may be dissolved in a quart of water, with from one-half to three-quarters of a pound of Epsom salts, ac- cording to the strength of the animal, and the dose must be administered at once. Wash mouths and feet with a solution of blue vitriol, one ounce to a gallon of water, twice a day, and after the first drench give each day while the attackcontinues two drams of chloride of potash in the water. The diseases of the male and their treatment differ in few particulars from those already described, and usually THE DURHAM OR SHORT-HORNED BULL, in such cases, unless the owner is a man of large experi- ence, the veterinary surgeon must be consulted. Some of our readers may desire to purchase a bull for the advantage of their own stock, and for the accommodation of the neighborhood, for it is an absolute calamity to be surrounded by poor cattle. With the utmost care possible there is always danger of an undesirable cross marring the plans you have laid. There can be no picture of a perfect animal that may not differ in some particular from the creature that has been perhaps the ideal of some one of our readers, so we premise our sketch by quoting the old saw: " A good cow is never a bad color." What is true of one gender will apply also to the other, and to other particulars in some degree. Select an animal with a head rather long, the muzzle fine, eyes prominent and full of life, ears long and thin, the horns wide, the neck small and fine where it joins the head, and rising from the shoulders with a grace- ful curve. The shoul- ders should be broad, but not too broad at the junction with the neck; chest open, projecting well before his legs ; fore- arms muscular, tapering to the knee joints; the legs clean , handsome and fine boned; no hollows between the shoulders, chine and chest alike full; plates firm, sus- taining the belly so that it does not droop below the line of the breast ; the back broad, straight and flat, promising a good sir- loin in his progeny; the ribs symrnetrically rising from each to each, until the last aliTiosl joins the hips. The idea we seek to convey is ex- pressed by some writers, calling the body " the barrel." The hips must be wide to uphold the frame that we have partly described; there must be no angularity; a full, round out- line is needed at once for beauty and power, a little higher than the back on which " Priscill.i, the Puritan maiden," might have ridden from church with the bridegroom, John Alden, " in the old colony days," of which Longfellow has written so eloquently in Miles Staiidtsh. The quarters from the hip to the rump may be long and tapering from the hips — everything, in fact, indicating that the breeder has used the best models of bovine beauty and might to present his idea of the bull. The turls or pott-bones will not protrude, the rumps will be close to the tail, ana cnat will be a broad, well-covered addendum, in a straight line with the spine, falling in a pleasant curve toward the ground, as if its descent told of a reserve of power that might carry the caudal member in any position with equal ease. 'Tu ==;?==; ^': '^-^". ^ POUI^TRY. ^|3,. -o-^ OULTRY comes from the French foule, signifying lien, from "which comes our pullet, a young hen. The word cov- ers all domestic fowls reared for useful purposes. Origi- nally the barn-door fowl was understood and implied, but now guinea fowls, turkeys, geese, ducks, and even pigeons, come under the same head. We glance at a few lead- ing varieties. The .Shanghai, a tall, up-standing bird, attains great size, the male having ex- ceeded twelve pounds at fifteen months, and the female scarcely less. They are good layers, and good investments, apart from style. The Bankiva, from Java, may be a varia- tion from fowls taken there by the Dutch, male bird is the handsomer. The barn-door fowl is now crossed with so many varieties that our ancestors might well he astonished at the sight of the birds coming under that cognomen in our farm yards. Game birds, reared for fighting qualities, might more appropriately have our care because of the superior meat. The Dorking is line, almost always white in both sexes, of great size, juicy and tender. The Chittagong or Malay, is large boned and long legged, but the meat is good, and their eggs are much valued for size and flavor; feathers, dark brown or black, with yellow streaks; cross well with the common fowl. The Jago, or Paduan, is a variety of the Spanish. A rich black with, in some instances, a few white feathers on the breast. The male is majestic, and numerous sections of the family are noted for qualities that make them welcome. They scarcely ever cease laying. Crested foivls are mostly variations of the common type, the chief peculiarity being the crest or tuft, such as is seen in Polish birds. The hens produce many eggs. The Bantam is valued more as a curiosity than as an in- vestment, but is not without advocates. The Rumkin has no tail, its comb is seldom indented, wattles a blood color, feathers ranging from dusky orange to beautiful variegations. The frizzled variety has all its feathers curled, is rather wild, but its delicate flavor justifies a little extra care. The Siberian, sometimes called the Rus- sian, has tufts springing Irom each jaw, and a silky tuft springs from the back of the hen's head. Colors vary, but they are usually handsome. The Barbary breed is distin- guished by a tuft on t e crown. The Java seems to be a cross between the Malay and Dorking. The Cochin-China excels most breeds in size and power. To make hens lay during the winter, and keep them lay- ing, keep them warm and dry, and give them hot food, such as boiled potatoes, and meat occasionally. There are not many varieties of the turkey, but they vary in color and size. The black are fo: nd most hardy. The hen turkey cannot train her chicks to feed themselves, hence it is necessary to employ a keeper for the young broods. The same kinds of food as are given to the smaller poultry will serve; but they can be depended on to feed themselves if allowed liberty. Geese are not remarkable for variety. The Toulouse attains great dimensions, is slaty, with brown or black bars, inclining to a dark brown on the head and back. The Chinese consists of many varieties, not so large as the last named, but as good eating, and as easily fattened. The common goose is divided into white and grej-, but the dis- tinction is arbitrary, as eggs of the same laying will, in al- iTiost every case, give both white and grey. The goose will lay more eggs if relieved from hatching, and that can be arranged by allowing a turkey hen to dis- cliarge that function. Some breeders employ artificial in- cubiition, but that is attended with great outlay and trouble. Boiled oats three times a day, with plenty of milk, will fat- ten green geese, or after maturity; but they are voracious, and should be regaled with coarse diet, or allowed to shift for themselves. Ducks are distinguished as Rouen, Aylesbury, and Mus- covy. There are sub-varieties, but we do not stop to note every feather. The Muscovy is voracious, but prolific, and easily fattened, and may be trusted to look after its own dietary scale. The same may be said of other breeds. Ducks are fattened in Normandy, as geese at Strasbourg, to increase the dimensions of the liver, and if the poor birds are suflbcated in the process, the breeder does not lose, as the defunct is bled, and the lueat is as good as ever. When molting, the bird must be well fed, and an addition of cayenne pepper is sometimes called for. They must also be kept warm and clean. If the feathers drop at other times, add to former precautions the use of sulphur and nitre, mixed with butter, as alteratives. Pip is a disease that thickens the tongue until breathing is difficult. Give plenty of clean water, anoint the swollen tongue with oil, and adiuinister pills of scraped liorse- radish, garlic, and a small portion of cayenne. Roup is an- other diseased condition, not unlike influenza. Dirt, severe cold, too hot feeding, and want of exercise produce roup. Such stimulants as mentioned may be administered. The bird must be kept warm and quiet. Some successful breed- ers use pellets of powdered gentian, i oz.; powdered ginger, I oz. ; Epsom .Salts, i^^ oz. ; and flour of sulphur, i oz., made up with butter. Other diseases are comparitively rare, and may generally be treated with some gentle stimulant, added to care for the warmth and cleanliness of the patient. W r -4- DOMESTIC PETS. DOMESTIC PETS. o-^ HAT is a hard, comlbrtless home in whicli there are no domestic pets. Even a cat maj be a re- deeming feature, with all the sugge stiveness of use and wont looking toward old maidhood. The aristocratic hairdresser that could not shave a sweep, defended ex- clusiveness, saying: "We must draw the line somewhere." That is our reason for excluding cats. Squirrels, dormice, white mice, and other little creatures are too rare to be granted more than a word. Their cages ought to be kept clean and sweet, and ''3^ 'lie revolving cylinder part of the fittings of a squirrel's cage should inost assuredly be banished from the homes of the cap- tives, who realize in them ingenious tort- ures. Give the little fellow a large cage and a branch of a tree, and you deserve his gratitude. Neither squirrel nor dormouse shows to advantage. They are impris- oned, not domesticated, and would gladly change all the com- fort and security you bestow for one day of liberty and danger in the woods. Mice are really domestic; in many houses too much so for the comfort of families, and when wanted as pets they have no traditions of the woods to make the palace cage a prison. They are found white, perfect albinos, and also grey and mottled. Some of their keepers assert that they sing- Canaries were first brought from Madeira and the islands whose name they bear early in the i6th century, and they became royal favorites. Accustomed to a warmer and more equable climate than ours, it is certain that, except in con- finement, they could not live in this country. In England there are canary societies, formed by the owners, not by the birds, and out of these associations have arisen crosses about which connoisseurs wax eloquent. There arc as many dif- ferences of color as of note, and all are beautiful. Canaries want change of food. A little bread soaked in milk, not boiled, unless as medicine, a little green food, and besides the seed, which should be the best, a little ripe fruit or rice pudding, or some such delicacy. If the bird is sick, a red rusty nail in water is a tonic. For hoarseness give Spanish licorice, and if any malady passes your birdcraft, seek a bird-doctor with more knowl- edge; but meantime it is safe to put the little fellow in a warm bath, holding him tenderly, the temperature about ninety-six degrees, immersion all but the head, to continue three minutes. After the bath see the bird placed where it will not be chilled, in the sunshine, or near the fire. You observe that the claws grow rapidly and his move- ments are impeded. Take the little creature in your hand and pare the claws carefully; run no risk of drawing blood. The same rules applv to other birds. 45 Nestling birds require feeding every two hours, and gen- erally go to sleep when their wants are supplied. The best diet is bread soaked in water, squeezed till nearly dry, mixed with rape seed newly scalded with boiling water, and let cool. The mixture cannot be too finely chopped, and baby birds seldom hurt themselves indulging too freely. They should be covered warmly for the night. Nearly all birds can be trained to know and trust the hand by which they are fed, more especially if accustomed to the same presence from nurslings. Bullfinches should have no sweets. Rape and canary seed, with occasional resort to green food and hemp seed, will keep them in excellent health. They can be taught airs, and are very quick observers in most matters. The Germans train them in classes, a boy playing a bird-organ, but best trainers depend on whistling. They can be taught amusing tricks, but the purchaser needs acquire the art of the professor and continue practice after molting, as that process weakens the memory of the leathered favorite. The goldfinch is more active, and has more genius for mechanics. It is easy to believe the little actor takes pleas- ure in matinees of which he is the star. Epilepsy is one of his weaknesses. When seized his head should be plunged in a cold bath, the body also immersed once or twice, after which low diet of lettuce seed and thistles for several davs. The goldfinch is a good mate for the canary, but apt to de- stroy the eggs. In Germany the siskin is much valued as a cage bird. It is smaller than the canary, and not loud, but the note very sweet, and the captive very teachable — a kind of eccentric comedian among birds. It mates well with the canary, and may be fed in the same way, but more abundantly. The chaffinch is so gi-eat a favorite in Germany that a proverb says, "A chaffinch is worth a cow." The best wa3' to keep birds is to give them a room, as an aviary, with miniature trees as perches, and double doors to prevent escape. Attention to cleanliness is essential, and care in diet will render medicine a rare necessity. The canary originally brought from the islands was green. Almost every plum.age may be obtained by crossing. Sparrows are not great pets in this country, but though not rare, they are handsome creatures and very cunning. The indigo bird, the Dominican and Widah are beautiful. The first is native in Carolina and New York; the latter are African, but naturalized. The tail of tlie widah is long and graceful. The Virginian nightingale is cardinal red, with feathers glossy black about the head and neck. In addition to the diet of the canary a few meal worms or other such insects are needed for perfect vigor. Parrots, paroquets and cockatoos are gorgeous birds, strong and easily trained, capable of imitating the human voice with some accuracy. Many chapters might be written on the dove, the pigeon, the nightingale, wren and robin, but space is wanting.

Ifjora Square Cistern, multiply length by breadth, and proceed to multiply the result by 1.72S and to divide by 231, as before. Calculated in this way we find that each foot in depth of a CIKCULAR CISTERN.

To Compute the Weiglit of Live Cattle. For cattle of a girth of from 5 to 7 feet, allow 23 lbs. to the superficial foot. For a girth of from 7 to 9 ft., allow 31 lbs. to the superficial foot. For small caltle and calves of a girth from 3 to 6 ft. allow 16 lbs., to the cubic foot. For pigs, sheep, and animals measuring less than 3 ft. girth, allow 11 lbs. to the superficial foot. Rule. — Measure the girth in inches back of the shoulder, and the lengtli in inches from, the square . the buttock to a point even with the point of the shoulder blade. Multi- ply the girth by the length, and divide the product by 144 for the superficial feet, and then multiply the superfi- cial feet by the number of lbs. allowed as above for cattle of variotis girths, and tlie product will be the number of pounds of beef, veal or pork in the four quarters of the ani- mal.

Cattle. — Where cattle are sold by weight, instead of by the head, the live weight is understood. The live weight is obtained at the scales or perhaps more frequently estimated by the eye, or by measurement according to approved rules. Sometimes cattle are sold at so much a pound, to be weighed soon after killing. In some markets cattle are sold by the weight of the four quarters dressed, in which case the price is for the dressed meat, and does not include the offal, consisting of the feet, head, hide, the loose. tallow, the blood and the entrails, which goes to the butcher for the expense of killing, selling and profit. But in nearly all large markets the selling tu-/ weisJil includes what is called the fifth quarter— that is, the head, hide and loose tallow. In comparing the cattle reports from different cities, it will be of service to keep these facts in mind. When the animal is weighed alive, an agreed allowance is deducted for the offal or shrinkage. The proportion which the "carcass" weight of the animal, when cut up for the shambles, bears to the full weight of the animal when alive, is variously estimated by eminent authorities at from 44 to 72 per cent. This difference of percentage depends upon such circumstances as the breed, structure, condition, constitution, and age of the animal, each of which are instrumental in affecting the quantity of meat in the quarters, as also its density and specific gravity. For instance, a halt-fatted beast must have one- pound in 20 deducted from the whole weight, and 14 pounds for a cow that has had calves. Again, the specific gravity of the flesh of all perfect male animals is greater than that of the breeding females. The density of the flesh, also, becomes less as the animal approaches maturity. All these varying circumstances, and many other contingencies, render it dilBcult to arrive at any positive rule, although many are given for the purpose. A good general rule for ascer- taining the net weight, is to multiply the live weight by the decimal .605, if the ox is ripe fat, and if not, by .55; that is to say, that the offal and fluids of a lean o.x weigh about as much as the beef and bones. An ox should not be weighed immediately after it has taken its food, when it will be too heavy, but after it has chewed its cud, and is again ready to eat. In the absence of a weighing machine, the dead weight is calculated from measurement. The dead weight is sup- posed to lie within a cylinder, the length of which is from the point where the cervical and dorsal vertebrae join to the line of the tail, and the circumference being immedi- ately behind the elbow of the foreleg. Various rules, tables and instruments have been con- structed for ascertaining the weight of animals from the measurement, some of which involve complicated arith- metical calculations, whilst others differ more or less in their results. All general rules and tables for ascertaining the exact relation subsisting betwixt the bulk of an ox's body and the weight of the flesh and bones, no matter how well they may be founded upon experimental tests, are all liable to error, and must therefore be considered in the light of approximations, although they are sufficiently accurate for all practical purposes. In making an appli- cation of the rules we shall give, it will be necessary to exercise the judgment in many cases requiring allowances for the imperfections of form and the various degrees of conditions when applying the tape-line. The line should be divided into feet and tenths, and thereby facilitate the multiplication by decimals. In applying the tape-line, the measurement must be made with accuracy; one inch added to the girth and length will m some cases cause an error of 30 pounds or more, and such an error may be caused by the position in which the animal may be standing. The rule which follows is the easiest understood, and about as good as any other for general use; First, see that the animal stands square; then with a tape-line (or cord) take the circumference just behind the shoulder-blade, and note the feet and inches. This is the girth. Then measure from the tail, which plumbs the line with the hinder part of the buttock, and direct the string along the back to J^2 thj forepart or point of the shoulder-blade, and this will be the length. Multiply the girth by the length, to find the superficial feet, and then multiply the superficial feet by 31 lbs., if the girth of the animal is less than 9 ft. and more than 7 ft ; by 23 lbs. if the girth is less than 7 ft. and more than 5 ft ; if less than 5 ft. and over 3 ft. in girth, multiply by 16 lbs. ; and if less than 3 ft., multiply by II lbs. The rule applies alike to cattle, calves, sheep and hogs, and farmers will find it of great assistance in their trans- actions with dealers where animals are sold by live weight, instead of by the head. Calves. — These are almost universally sold by the pound to the butchers for the live or gross weight. A calf shrinks just about one-third in dressing ; that is, the carcass weighs about two-thirds of the live weight before being slaughtered. Small young calves in the New York markets are usually styled "bobs," and sometimes "kittens." These are generally sold by the head, without weighing. Sheep.— Are sold more frequently by the head, though very often by the pound, live weight. Sheep shrink in dressing about one-half. This depends somewhat on the length or weight of the wool, and considerably, of course, on the fatness. In autumn, as a general rule for sheep in fair condition, the net weight of the dressed carcasses is estimated at about 5 to 5}^ lbs., for each 10 lbs. of live weight. Ho(;s, — These are usually sold, before killing, by the live weight, at an agreed price per pound. Alter killing, the pork is sold by the weight of the carcasses, including the head and feet, the entrails and loose fat being removed, and also the heart, liver and lights (lungs). The net weight varies less in hogs than in other animals. A general rule for medium hogs is to allow one pound in five for shrinkage. The old Kentucky rule for fat hogs is as follows : For the first hundred pounds of live weight deduct one pound in every four for offal. For what is over 100 lbs , up to 200 lbs., deduct one pound from every eight pounds for offal For what is over 200 lbs. up to 300 lbs., deduct one pound from every 16 lbs., for offal. All above 300 lbs. is counted net weight. 1st Example — From a hog weighing 164 lbs., alive, deduct 25 lbs. for the first 100 lbs., and 8 lbs. {i in S) for the 64 lbs , or 33 lbs. in all from the 164 lbs., leaving 131 lbs. for the dressed or net weight. 2d E.\ample — From the live hog weighing 2S0 lbs., de- duct 25 lbs. for the first 100 lbs., 12)^ lbs. (i in 8) for the second 100 lbs , and 5 lbs. (l in 16) for the 80 lbs. ; in all 42j^ Ids , leaving lyjYz lbs. as the net or dressed weight. 3d E.Kample — For a live hog weighing 400 lbs., deduct 25 lbs. for the first 100 lbs., I2J^ lbs. for the second 100 lbs., and 6J^ lbs. for the 3d 100 lbs., and nothing for the fourth 100 lbs. — in all, say 44 lbs — leaving a net weight of 356 lbs. These figures will vary somewhat with the age, size of frame, and degree of fatness of the animal. BEEF AND PORK. Beef and pork are staple foods, and they are used in various states — fresh, salted, smoked, roasted, fried and boiled. When beef is intended to be eaten fresh, the ribs will keep the longest, and the rump the next. The round will not keep long, unless salted, and the brisket keeps the poorest of any. The usual mode of preserving beef and pork is by salting, and when intended to be kept a long time, it is always salted with brine ; but for family use it should be salted dry, with good fine salt, without saltpetre (except for hams and shoulders), as brine dispels the juices of the meat, and saltpetre only serves to make the meat dry and give it an unnatural color. TO CURE BACON. The hogs should be slaughtered, cut up and salted the same day. In trimming it is important that the two shoulder veins be taken out. Get the best saltpetre and use about i lb. to a hog of 300 lbs , and more or less, according to the size. Rub a little on the skin-side, and sprinkle it on the other ; then lay the meat in a tub or bo.x, of sufficient capacity to hold it all, putting in the hams, first covering them thoroughly with fine salt, then place in the shoulders, and then the sides until all are packed. Be careful to cover each layer with a good coat of salt as you put in the meat, and when all is done cover all over the top with fine salt. Let it lie three weeks ; then hang up to smoke. Always pound and dry by fire, the salt and saltpetre before using. TO CURE HAMS. For every 100 pounds weight of hams, take five ounces of brown sugar, four ounces of saltpetre, and five gills of fine salt; mix them thoroughly, rub it on the hams, and let them lie 24 hours. Then rub each 100 pounds weight with 5 pounds of fine salt. The rubbing should be well done. Pack them closely in bulk, and at the expiration of fifteen days hang them up to smoke. Another receipe, said to be that by which the celebrated Westphalian hams are cured, is to prepare a brine with 6 pounds of good salt, 2 pounds of powdered loaf sugar, 3 ounces of saltpetre, and 3 gallons of spring water. Boil sufficiently, and skim it while boiling. When quite cold pour it over the hams, every part of which must be covered with the brine. Hams intended for smoking will be suffi- ciently salted in this brine in two weeks, though if very large, more time may be allotted. Kams, before they are put in the pickle, should be soaked in water, all the blood pressed out, and wiped dry. Much of the excellence of the ham is dependent on the smoking. This should be done so that the hams shall be cool and perfectly drj' through the whole operation. If too near the fire, the heat /- will injure the flavor ; if the building be too close the hams will be wet, and taste as if dipped in pyroligneous acid. At Hamburg, where large quantities are prepared, the hams are smoked in the upper story of high buildings, while the fires, which are made of oak or maple chips, are made in the cellars. In passing through such a length of pipe the smoke becomes cool and dry. Hams intended for summer use must be kept where they will not mold, and protected by being coated with a wash, or with cloth. TO PROTECT HAMS AND SHOULDERS FROM INSECTS. Take them down, after having been well dried and smoked, and apply thickly upon the flesh side and hock the following preparation, and when dry pack them down in perfectly dry spent tan-bark or shucks, or lay them up in a dry place upon sticks, skin down. Take a peck of sifted ashes and boil them in a large quantity of water ; dip off the water and add a peck of wheat-bran, and suffi- cient water to make a loblolly when boiled and stirred. This does not affect the flavor of the hams. Or, take slaked lime sufficient for the number of hams ; mi.K the lime with water, and boil to the same consistency as for whitewashing. Apply with a brush, when cold, to the flesh side of the ham, and on all the parts unprotected by the skin. When dry hang up the hams, or pack them away as before suggested. It will be useless to apply either of these preparations if delayed until the fly has deposited its eggs. SAUSAGE. The- following proportions will be found to make excellent sausage meat, and will save the trouble of expiri- menting by cooking and tasting : To 50 pounds of meat well chopped, add i pound of salt, ^i pound of black pepper, \i pound of sage (pulver- ized and sifted), and i teaspoonful of Cayenne pepper (pulverized). DIRECTIONS FOR PUTTING UP PRIME MESS PORK. The following standard rule, known as "Getty's Direc- tions," are those given for putting up prime mess pork, to meet the requirements of the English market. They are also adopted and made imperative in contracts given out for army supplies by the United States Government. Quality and Weight of Pigs —The pigs to weigh from 100 to 160 pounds each, and to be in good condition, strictly corn-fed, or hard pork. For the United States army the weight may be extended to 170 pounds. Parts Excluded. — The head is to be excluded, also the foreleg up to the breast or brisket, the hind leg, in- cluding the hock or gambrel joint, and the rumps, if the hams are not cut up with the sides. What Co.nstitutes a Barrel ok Prime Mess. — A barrel of prime mess consists of fifty pieces of four pounds each. If the hams are cut up and put in, there shall be not less than 23 side pieces ; if without hams, not less than 30 side pieces. How TO Cut and Cure. — After the pig has been split through the back, cut each side longitudinally into two strips ; pack the strips into large casks or vats, and fill up with brine, having saltpetre added at the rate of one ounce to three gallons of brine. Leave the strips in the brine for eight or ten days to extract the blood, and for the lean meat to take a pink color. When ready to be packed into barrels, have each strip carefully cleaned, using a knife and brush if necessary ; cut them into four-pound pieces as nearly as may be. Mess (select the pieces) as indicated, and pack neatly and compactly in layers, with sufficient salt to preserve it. Barrels. — The barrel should be twenty-eight inches long, and seventeen and a half inches over the end (when finished) made of seasoned white oak. free from sap, full bound with hickory or white oak hoops and one iron hoop (one inch wide) on each end below the chine-hoop Theory of Messing. — Pigs averaging say 145 pounds, will work up in messing about as follows : When the side, including the hams, is cut up, there will be 23 or 24 pieces of side meat, 8 piec s of ham or saddle, and iS or 19 pieces of shoulder and neck to the barrel ; excluding the hams, the number of side pieces will be increased to 31 or 32. In no case should there be more than 6 pieces of the leg part of the shoulder put in the barrel. TO PRESERVE BEEF. (i.) Take 12 gallons of water, 27 pounds of fine salt, 10 oz. of saltpetre, 8 pounds of brown sugar, i quart of molasses, and i quart of lye or i ounce of potash; mix them together, after rolling the saltpetre fine. After being thoroughly prepared, the pickle should float an egg or a potatoe; if it does not, add more salt. The meat should lie four tueeks in pickle before use. After once using, if the pickle turns red, boil it and add a little salt, and it may be used a second time. This preparation will cure as much beef as it will cover in a barrel. The beef must be packed in close and a weight put on the top layer to keep it under the brine. Another method for curing beef is to take 16 quarts of salt, 4 ounces of saltpetre, and 5 pounds of sugar for each 100 pounds of beef. Rub the pieces thoroughly with salt and sugar, and pack them in edgeways, and after a layer is complete, take a mallet or maul and pound down solid; then sprinkle on a little saltpetre, and fill up all interstices with salt and a little sugar, and so on until the cask is full. Those who do not like saltpetre may omit it without injury to the meat. _M BARLEY STATEMENT. Price per Bu. Amount Balance Labor I otal Paid, Due. liars. Cts. Dollars. Cts. Dollars. Cts. No. Bu.
