Cold and Curculio. -A writer in the J said to bo a sure way of preserving milk

ihat the pup:e of the curculio are frozeu in ; ter, heated to the same temperature as the
the around below the possibility of resus- j milk, in such a manner as to allow a free
citation, and that the trees, which usually
blossom full and 9et well, arc thus freed
from the attack of this most destructive in
sect, la accordance with this explanation,
lie recommends that on the approach of
cold weather the grouud uuder aud about
the fruit trees be cleared from snow, so
that the frost w ill penetrate deeply iuto the
soil. As the trees do not appear to suffer
wheu the grouud about their roots is natu
jally exposed, it is believed that no harm
will follow this practice. The editor of the
ffankner Monthly appends a few remarks
to the effect that, before this view can bo
accepted, two questions remain to be set
tied. First, does the curculio hibernate in j
the ground, and in what state or condition ?
Aud second, will cold destroy liU-ratm:; in
sects in any of their forms V

Kaudlc horses give proper atleution to feci
and legs. Especially is this the case on
farms. Much is often speut in rubbing,
brushing, and smoothiug the hair on' the
sidcB and hips, but the feet are not proper
ly examined and cared foi. Now be it
knowu that the feet or a horse requires
more care than the JiqjU-- they need ten
xt'SeVtViuuth, for in one respect they are
almost the entire hoi sc. All the groom
ing that can be done will uot avail any
thing if the horse is forced to stand where
his feet will be filthy. In this case the feet
will become disordered, and then the leg
will pet badly out of fix, aud with bad feet
and bad legs there is not much else of the
horse fll for anything. St-tWc prisons gen
erally are terribly seven- on She feet and
legs of horses, and unless the buildings can
afford a dry room where a horse can "walk
around, lie down aud roll over, they are
not half so comfortable to the horse as the
pasture, and should be avoided by all
good hostlers iu the country. While the
ground is wet as it always is in the spring
and fall of the year, horses are liable to be
aillicied with scratches and grease in the
heel. To cure and prevent all these dis
orders, the parts should be well washed
with cmulcicnt soap, and afterward rubbed
very dry with soft cloths ; after which they
may be touched with sweet oil or healing
ointuicut, and the animal should be kept
out of the wet as much ?s possible thio

Killing Weeds. spading the garJcu
iu the fall, though beneficial iu other re
sjieeVs, will uot kill weeds. The seeds of
the wewU are not to be frozen out. The
only way to get rid f v.ccd teeds iu the
soil is to allow them to germinate, aud
then kill the youug plauts. If taken at the
right time this may lie done iu the garden
with the rake. Do not hope to destroy the
vitality of weed seeds either by freezing or
burying; as soon as ttie influences are fa
vorable they will grow as sure as fate.
Cramp in Colts. "Importer" wishes
to know what is the matter with his colt
From his description it is a case of cramp
that all young horses and mules arc obnox
ious to also young cattle. I have always
found young auimals wheu first confiued
in stalls more troubled with cramps than
older ones, who kuew belter how to stretch
themselves and lie at ease. As soon as I
cm get the patient on its feet, I stand it
with its head towards the open door, throw
-' r over its neck, and take a long
4jefroyord go, strike it e-
verai times wuu m- mnii
a cure if the esse is only of one ni
standing.
If attacked afterwards, it is best to change
I in stall and the mode ot fastening. If
there is any slifii.es rciuaiuiug, apply a li
nimeiii of hartshorn and oil, which any
druggist will prepare for him. "One wish
ing to learu" savs that his colt was stilled,
aud wlien it slipped out he had great trou
ble to get it in again. He was mistaken in
his diagnosis, for had the pattlla been off,
it would have staid off. They ail drag the
lame kg, and on looking in front the joints
b.ok hollow, but there is no dislocation.

more subject to it than old ones, is corret-L

l)r. J. Walker's California Vine
gar Bitters arc a purely Vegetable
E reparation, made chiefly from the native
erbs found on tho lower ranges of the
Sierra Nevada mountains of California,
the medicinal properties of which are
extracted therefrom without tho uso of
Alcohol. Tho question is almost daily
asked, " What is tho cause of the unpar
alleled success of Vinegar Bitters t
Our answer is, that they remove the
cause of disease, and tho patient recov
ers his health. They aro tho great
blood purifier and a life-giving princi
ple, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator
of tho system. Never before in tho his
tory of the world has a mcdiciuo been
compounded possessing tho remarkable
qualities of Vinegar Bitters in healing
the sick of every disease man is heir to.
They are a gentle Purgative as well as a
Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation
of the Liver and Visceral Organs in Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of Dr. Walker's
Vixbgar Hitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative. Diuretic,
Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudorific, Altera
tive, and Anti-Bilions.

THE GREAT REMEDY FOR
CONSUMPTION
which can be cured by a
timely resort to this stand
ard preparation, as has been
proved by the hundreds of
testimonials received by the
proprietors. It is acknowl
edged by many prominent
phj'sicians to be the most
reliable preparation ever in
troduced for the relief .and
cure of all Lung complaints,
and is offered to the public,
sanctioned by the experience
of over forty years. "When
resorted to in season it sel
dom fails to effect a speedy
cure in the most CVl'0
2es of Coughs. Bronchitis,
Croup, Whooping Cough,
Influenza, Asthma, Colds,
Sore Throat, Pains or Sore
ness in the Chest and Side,
Liver Complaint, Bleeding
at the Lungs, &c. "Wistar's
Balsam does not dry up a
Cough, and leave the cause
behind, as is the case with
most preparations, but it
loosens and cleanses tho
lungs, and allays irritation,
thus removing tho cause of
the complaint.

Wrvss Sold AT Auction. An Ex
traordinary Feature of English Life. It is
possible some of our readers are not aware
thai the practice of wife-selling still exists
in England. It is not very often we hear
of it perhaps not oftener than five or six
times in the year, but from the cool way in
which the English papers give such occur
rences, we should judge the thing is done
much more frequently than is recorded,
and that tkey mention it as not so much
novelty in itself as for the sake of some cir
cumstance connected with the sale as for
the sake of some circumstance connected
with the sale--as, for instance, the extra
ordinary low price fetched.
We print below the latest wife-selling
auction case, as given without note or com
ment, by the Liverpool 3fercury of a re
cent date :
On Monday night a baker led into a
room, in a Preston public house, with
hands bound and a halter about her neck,
his wife, Agnes, a woman of about 27
years of age, who is a winder at a mill, and
offered her, before a large company, for
sale by auction. The woman was 'put up'
at a shilling, on which a girl in the room
offered a shilling more. Oue of the men
then bid half a crown, and at this figure
the wife was knocked down to him. Dur
ing the evening a factory operative offered
three shillings for hia bargain, and the wo
man was transferred to him."
This is a surprisingly low bid. We note
also, in connection .with this, that prices
have gone down considerably in the Eng
lish cattle market. This certainly is inex
plicable that English chatties should fall
just now, in view of the threatening aspect
of the eastern war cloud, when prices very
naturally might be looked for as sure to
go up.
Scoldixo. Scolding is mostly a habit.
There is not much meaning to it It is
often the result of nervousness and irrita
ble condition of both mind and body. A
person is tired or annoyed at some trivial
cause, and forthwith commences finding
fault with everything and everybody in
reach. Scolding is a habit very easily
formed. It is astonishing how soon one
who indulges in it at all becomes addicted
to it and confirmed in it. It is an unrea
sonable habit. Persons who once get into
the way of scoldiag, always find something
to scold at. It is an extremely disagreea
ble habit. It is contagious. Ouce intro
duced into a family, it is pretty certain in
a short time to affect all the members.
People in the country more readily fall into
the habit of scolding than the people in
town. Women contract the habit more
frequently than men. This may be be
cause they more frequently live in the
house, in a confined and heated atmos
phere, very trying to the nervous system
and health in general; and it may be partly
that their natures aie more susceptible and
their sensitiveness more easily wounded.
'I don't believe much in the Bible,' said
a collegian to an old Quaker. 'Does thee
believe in France ?' 4 Yes, I do. I never
saw it, but I have plenty of proof that
there is such a country.' 'Then thee does
not believe anything unless thee or thy re
liable friends have seen it ?' 'No, be sure
I wont.' 'Did thee ever see thy own
brains?' 'No.' 'Did thee ever know any
body that has seen thy brains?' Xo.'
'Does thee believe thee has any brains?'
Festus wished his lady-love was all lips,
and Xero wished the human race had but
one neck ; but a Parisian lover distanced
both when he sent a bottle of perfume to
to his sweetheart, with the sentiment :
"When you smell thin, you will wish you
were all nose."
A man with a pistol bullet in his left
side, an inch above his heart, a six-inch
cut on his head, and a fractured leg, called
at a Bangor doctor's office to get fixed up
the other morning. He said they had been
having some fun "over the way," but he
refused to tell where.
