Thia is because so few farmers reud and inform themselves thoroughly about their buni neis, nnd because even those well in formed perform surgical operations in so careless a manner. In the April nurat er of the American Agriculturist, wo cx> plained the stmcture of tho sheep's foot and tho origin of the disease known as th« funis. This Dover rice Ibe confound ed with foot rot, tnoogh we d< ult not it is often the precursor of it, for it puis the foot in excellent preparation to tukc it easily. Contaaioiisnes* oj' Ihrnj Rut—'l here ore pome medical men, we believe, who deny that any disease is contagious, ami they deny the contagiousness of ho I rot. They are, we presume, right just so far :—were a perfceely healthy font, sound and clean, to be exposed to the eontag'iou' virus, it would probably es cape ; if, however, it were anywise sore, inflamed or wounded, it would probably take it at once. The disease is olten long in reaching that point whi h causes the sheep togo lame, and it progresses gradually, first causing limping; then the lifting of ono foot; then severe lameness of both forefeet; then going Upon the knees, which brings the feet in contact with the breast. It does not involve other parts of the system until far advanced. Then the feet become masses of rottenness ; maggots breed in them and work into the fle-h, and this Corruption is commuuicated to the breast During tho whole course of the diseaso, until near the last, tho sheep has good appetite and digestion, ami is no other way affected. On this account the cure is, theoreti cally, very simple and sure. In practice, it is just as simple, if th roughly done. The well cleaned hoofs, softened by »oakin» in dewy grass or on a rainy day, or otherwise, are pared with cutting pliers and very sharp knives until ei-.-ri/ particle ©f diseased matter is taken away, even if it involves the removal of all the hoof; they are then washed with warm water and soap, and smeared with some causlic paste, or fluid, or the sheep forced to stand in a hot, saturated solu> tion of blue vilrol for ten minutes. I n discussing the origin of hoof rot, most writers take sides, cither denying its contagiousness, or asserting it most vehemently. For ourselves, we can see 1)0 other sensible beliof than that it ulay be originated whenever tho hoofs, being softened by moisture, are penetrated by foreign substances like gritty soil or sand, and especially when such things, finding their way through cracks in the hoof, thus come in contact with the sensitive lamella), or the papillary tissues, where they induce acute inflammation. The natural growth of the hoof adapts it to the wear and tear of gravelly and rocky hill sides, and on such localities the outer walls wear off fast, so that they are near ly t even with the sole, and the foot is neat and trim ; but on soft ground, in ■tables or yards," the growth of the outer walls is so much more rapid than the wear, that they grow long, curl under the sole, nnd turn up in front, throw the wear back upon the heels, and keep them more or less inflamed, and arc them selves liable to crack- and splits, which, if foreign substances work in, readily involve the sensitive portion of the hoof in inflammation. Where the horn forming tissue becomes inflamed, the character of the horn formed is changed; its quantity is greatly increased, but i; is softer, owing to the mixture of pus and foMige matter, and iu firoport'ons ha'- a fu'n'gfml appearance. The walls of tho lipof becdliie detached from llic foot in spots of larger or smaller extent, owing to the fact that as soon as the I. uicl ;e become diseased tho horn the} - secrete has no consistence, and hence the walls have no hold upon the foot. Tho pus which constantly exudes from the sins has the quality of inducing tho same disease, if it comes in coutac. with in flamed or wounded surfaces of tho f:rt of other sheep. Wc see, then, good reasons for the views that tho hoof rot originates only in wet locations, or on pround which is not dry, and whore sheep's hoofs are liable to crack from over-growth, and softening by water, and exposed to grit, aud that where the mal ady is otherwise unknown, it may bo communicated to a sound floek by the introduction of one'sheep having the disease.— American Agriculturist. A New Way of Trapping Rats. xar t,. i.FTXDSWURTN, OXFORH, orno. Geta common round wire trap. Halt it with the most inviting fi d, and wait patiently until a rat is caught. Instead of killing this rat, aud waiting perhaps for weeks before yon are Intimate enough to trap another, keep him alive and feed him much as you would a j>ct squirrel. In a low days ho will become quite reconciled to his cage, aud you are now ready for business. At night, bait tile trap well und'set it where the rats resort most. Some ono or more of them, seeing a rat quite nt home iu the uiidst of plenty, will enter the trap without any suspicion of harm. Next morning pump or pour water thoroughly over the trap to clean it, aud to. make the killing of your pray more easy. Have an empty barrel into which drop tho contents of your cace; tho prisoners being well soaked, will be so heavy and slow that you can easily kuock them on tho head. Treat your partially tamed rat, however, "as if you loved him." and return hiui to his cage; this is easily done by lower ing tho cage into the barrel. Repent the operation from night to night, and you will bo surprised to see how easy a matter it is to ou'-wit so cunning an uuimal as an " old rat." Be careful not to keep a large one for , your tame rat. He will frightou off all the younger fry, as none of them will dare to enter. Tho only difficult thing in the matter is to get your first rat. I have had a wire trap well baited fori weeks before I could entice one to erlter I it. To get the first, is something like Astor's recipe for getting rich : " Get a thousand dollars eleaf of the world, and it is all very easy." Since I caught my first rat, I have failed but once tor many i nights in getting from one to four to keep him company If your renders will try i niv plan, I think that something may be done to abate one of the most intolerable nuisances of this country. To say that millions of dollars worth of our property are annually destroyed by rats, would nit b« an extravagant assertion.—Ameri can Agriculturist.
