FARM AND GARDEN.
CASES CF HORSE COLIC.— The horse's
stomach is too small to contain a good
feed and the gas extricated from such
materials when digestion is prevented by
immediate severe %oork after eating, cr
otherwise, and where fermentation
has set in. Even a cow will die in
- half an hour from a sudden extrica
tion of gases in the paunch, which is
capable of holding about 250 quarts.
How much more, then, may the horse,
whose stomach will hold but from 10
to 20 quarts. The cow cap sometimes
relieve herself by eructation or vomit
ing, or may be promptly cured by
puncturing the 'eft flank and lcttting
out the gas. But the average healthy
horse can neither belch gas nor vomit,
and to puncture his stomach you must
first transfix the larger intestines,
abovq and beyond which it lies.
Again, medicines given to tbe horse
in such circumstances are exceedingly
uncertain. Even healthy stomach
of the horse does not absorb, much
less that which is distended beyoßd
measure with gas. anything, there
fore, which is into uc-ed into the
stomach, must be passed through into
the intestines before in can enter the
circulation. But here, again is the
obstacle of au overstretched and in
active stomach, unable to contract on
its contents, or loree them ou into the
bowels. Again, the introduction ol
agents into the stomach still further
distends it and at first aggravates the
symptoms. Such a case cf acute in
dige.-tion and tympany of the stomach,
as might be expected, is one ot the
hopeless and fatal disorders of the
hor<e. Yet as delay is usually equal to
death, early ventures at treatment
give the ouly hope. Give by the
mouth 1 ounce tincture ot ginger, 30
drops oil of peppermint, one-hail
ounce aqua ammonia, and one scruple
tincture of nux vomica in a pint ol
cold water. The same may be given
as an injection into the rectum, the
water being increased to two quarts.
In the absence ot tlnse, give whatever
stimulant couies to hand—a pint oi
whiskey, gin or brandy, or one-hall
ounce pepper, with a jint of lime-wa
ter, or even a .easpoonful of baking
soda and another ot carbolic acid.
Gentle walking exercise may be given,
with active rubbing of the abdomen
with straw wisps, and half an houi
after the medicated injection, injec
tions of soapsuds to me amount ol
four quarts in each. Six drachms o.
aloes may also be given by the mouth,
if recovery ensues, the food should be
limited in qu&utiiy, ar.d of a qualit)
easily dlgeottd, IOA a week, and ten
grains of nux vounea and oue-haii
ounce ground gentian may be given
daily lor ihe same length of time. In
a case of colic arising irom a full drii r
of cold watt v followed by an active ? UH,
the prospects are tar better, llcie the
sufieriug will usually be at once re
lieved by a stimulant and anodyne,
and as the disturbance is mainly in
the intestines, this may be introduced
into ihe stomach with hope of in
speedily passing tLrough and being
absoi bed ; one-naif oui oc tii c.ure oi
ginger and one ounce laudanum will
usually si tike. Should there be no
relief in hail au hour it may be re
peated as an ii jection, and at the same
iiuieadoseol laxative medicine uiu}
be given oy the mouth. Five drachms
aloes and oue dracnoi powdered gen
tian made into a bail with syrup, will
uualiy si.tiice, and reliei may bt
calculated on in three hours at iht
utmost. Sait and water, about which
oue corie&pondent asks, is a very un
satisfactory dose, being irritating to
the mucous membrane when too con
centrated, and not at all calculated to
carry oil irritating materials iroin the
stomach and bowels, its main valut
is in retarding lermentation in the
contents, but this is better effected bj
saaaratus, ammonia, hyposulphite oi
soda, or carbolic acid.
GYPSUM AND HOW TO APPLY IT. —
Gjp urn, sulphate of lime, Is not strict
ly a fertilizer, yet it sets directiy upon
the plant and indirectly upon the soil
as a fertil When sown upou
growirg croj i especially clover and the
grasses, it attracts and gathers the
ammonia of the atmosphere, and fixes
it upon vegetation, deliquescing upon
the leaves and syeirs, so that it is
taken up into the circulation. This
ammonia not only serves as one of the
nutrithe elements of crops, but is
carried by the circulation down into
the roets and acts as a fertilizer in
alter years. It does not benefit the
crops upon all soils, for Instance, it
lias not been found beneficial to crops
in tne tide water district of Virginia,
as well as other localities. When
clover, grasses and other crops, are
two or thi es Inches high, and the dews
are heavy, sow the Gypsum on the
growing plans when heavily laden
with dew before evaporation takes
place in the morning. The plaster
adheres to the green crops, forming
a sort of mucilage, attractlrg the
ammonia, and fixing it in the plants.
One bushel, or less quantity will
si flice for an acre, and do ju-t as well
as a large quantity. Its influence is
felt and seen, upon the crops in a few
weeks after being sown. It is gooo
for all garden vegetables and vines,
and dusted upon them frequently, will
drive away iusecte.
A F RENCH papi r relates the follow
ing experiment: A cow was milked
three tunes a day for eleven days, and
yielded 170 quarts of milk. With two
milkings daily she gave only 14G q uari s
in the same number of days. Analy
ses, moreover, showed that the uiiik
in the first case was richer in butter
globules by more than one-seventh
than in the second case.
FOR WORMS IN HOGS. —Give a tea
spoonful of copperas to each six months
or over; give half the dos-e to younger
animals. Give by mixing with mush
inane of chopped strain.
It is maintained by Prof. E. Wool
ney that soil heaped up around plants
} as c ur'i g a flay, a higbter tempera
ture than earth so treated. During
the night tlie hi ltd earth becomes
c* lder. The explanation advanced is
that < arth wh ch is he* ped up around
plants dries much more rapidly than
level soil.
From the success wnicti has already
attended the introduction of electric
clocks, and their evident uiility for
railroad, postoffice, and telegraphic
offices, Dr. M. Hipp predicts that in a
few years every town of any impor
tance will have its time regulated by
electricity, just as it has its light by
rl jht supplied by means of iMuminat
ng gas.
The re searches of .Professor Quincke
indicate that the change of volume of
solid and liquid bodies under electrical
influence is not due to h<a, for the
change produced in volume ot fatty
oils is one of contraction. The same in
vestigator has shown that electricity
d minishes the electric.ty of flint and
German g'ass, which is also said lo he
tne case with India rubber, while
elasticity of mica and per ha is
increased.
DOMESTIC.
PUFF PASTE. —To ever pound of tbe
best flour allow a pound of fresn but
ter. Sift the flour in a deep pan, and
then wash the butter through two oold
waters, squeezing out all the salt.
Make It up with your hands Into a
round ball, and put in the lee until
you are ready to use It. Then cut the
butter into four equal parts. Put one
piece of the butter Into the pan of flour
and cut It up with a knife, adding a
little very eold water; make It Into a
stiff dough. Cut your remaining three
pieces of butter Into nine parts, each
piece into three. Sprinkle flour on the
pasteboard, take the dough from the
pan by lilting it out with the knife,
flour your rolling-pin, roll out the
paste in a large thin sheet, put allovt r
it one of the six pieces divided into
small bits, fold up the sheet of paste,
flour it, roll it out again, and add in
the same manner another portion of
the butter. Hi 1 peat this process till the
butter is all in. Fold up the sheet ol
paste, flour it, and lay it on a plate In
a eool place. Divide it into as many
pieces as you want sheets of pas'e;
roll out each sheet and put them on
buttered plates, or patty-pans. Al
ways roll the rolllng-pln from you.
Have your oven moderately hot; iot
too hot uor yet too cold, but rather
quick than slow. If your oven burns,
put a piece ot buttered paper over the
paste. No air must be admitted to it
while baking. Notch the edges with
a pen knife before it is baked, and dip
the knife into flour if it becomes
sticky. These notches should be small
and regular, or you may form the edge
iuto leaves with the little tin cutters
made for the purpos . It should be
eaten the day it is baked.
FIREPLACE CURTAINS. They are
often only half a yard wide, and Just
long enough to touch the floor, but
then again rep ones with a worsted
worked border are much fuller. For
stamped velveteen we should say from
:, 4 yd. to 1 yd., according to the sizeot
tne mantel-piece, would be enough.
Dark blue, outlined with gold, will be
very handsome; the mantel border
should be about 6 in. or 8 in., but it
is impossible for us to say decidedly
the best proportions for such things
when wo are ignorant of the dimen
sions ot the room, or even of the lire
place. Mentel shelves now never have
the vallance put on separately troui
the top; it is ail one, and only the
corner are shaped out by a seam IOUI d
the mantel ends. Fringes are out ol
lashioii in a great measure, and, as
ol ten as not, the border is only hem
med up underneath, or a cord laid
along it. Chenille eord, or ordinary
chenille like that put round glass oi
nament shades, olteu looks better tin u
silk cords on velvet.
LFS MONDES gives the following old
recipe lor testing the age of eggs,
which, it thinks, seems to have been
forgotten. As nature thinks so too,
we may reproduce the recipe for our
younger readers, and also as having
other possible applications. Dissolve
120 grammes of common salt in a liter
of water. An egg put in this solution
oil the day it is laid will sink to the
bottom; au egg three days old will
swim in the liquid; while one more
than three days old will swim on the
suriace.
THE FACE. —To wash properly, fill
the basin two-thirds fnll with fresh
soft water, dip face Into the water and
then the hands; soap the hands well
aud rub to a gentle friction over the
face, dip the lace in the water the sec
ond time and rinse off thoroughly,
wiping with a thick but soft towel.
Pure soaps do not irritate the skin.
The best are castile, curd, glycerine
and other neutral soaps. Medicated
or highly colored or perfumed soaps
should never be used.
FLAVORING FOR -CIGAR MAKERS. —
Two ounces of tonqua beans, one
ounce of cinnamon; pulverize them
to a powder and put them into a pint
of good alcohol; shake occasionally
for three days, then mix with a gallon
of water, adding one and a half ounces
of powdered alum and two ounces of
juice of the herb lovage; stir all well
together. Sprinkle your inferior to
bacco, and dry it out of the sun, and
the flavor will be unequaled.
SHOULDER OF LAMB.SIVFFED. —Take
the blade bone out of the shoulder ol
iamb, then fill up the place with force
meat, and sew it up. Put into a stew
pan a few sbces ol fat bacon, a bunch
of savory herbs, two onions and. a
quart of good stock; then put in the
shoulder and stew very gently for
rath* r ILOI e than two hours. Glaze and
serve with peas, stewed cucumbers, or
sorrel sauce.
THE following process is recommend
ed for cleaning white Shetland shawls.
Put the soiled article into a large
bowl; throw over it half a teacupful
of flour, "dry,*" rub thoroughly, as if
WJ shing, then thoroughly shake out
the fiour. If the article is not clean
repeat the process *n clean flour. Ar
ticles cleaned by this process will re
tain a new look as long as there is a
thread left.
LJPS or hands chapped by cold
weather or wind, should be rubbed
with glycerine generally when shout
IO be exposed to the air,or rubbed with
honey alter washing. Never kiss the
lips of persons not in he alth, asdiseaie
is sometimes contracted in this way.as
,vell as by the use of towels, cups or
tumblers used by unhealthy persons.
WHITE HARD VARNlSH.— Dissolve
gumanimein nut oil, boil it gei tlv as
the gum is added, giving it as much
gum as the oil will take up, and while
cooling dilute it with pure turpentine;
ih s will do lor the ground, as also for
the japaning for white; it taken toine
liine to harden but it is durable.
SHAD STEWED. —Melt a piece of but
ter. stir in fiour and mix with nilik
and water flavoring with salr, pepper
aud mace. Add a few pieces of lemon
place the shad in pieces in this sauce
and stew it gently for half an hour.
Steam new potatoes with it.
HANGING floral decorations In pots
or baskets should be placed where they
can have an abundance ol light and
sunshine, and not near the stoves or
register. If the light comes from one
side, the basket ought to be turned
every day.
To RIMOVK SUNBURN. — Sciape a
cake of brown Windsor soap to a pow
der, and one ounce each of eau de Colo
gne and lemon juice; mix well and
form into cakes. This removes tan,
prevents hands from chapping, and
makes the skin soft and clean.

SAKE AGENT NO. I had just taken his

circumstance about the kind of safe he

got into that safe and the sate was

burned, ami it was a terrible hot lire.
In a few days, when t'.ey were ab'o
to get at the safe and open It, what d#
you think?"
"Well, I suppose,'' said the safe
agent, "that the little rooster was
cooked."
"No, sir; that little rooster came
out and crowed."
"Well, now, says Hate pgont No. 2,
"that puts me in mind of a safe 1 sold
to a man In Philiadelphia. He had a
little dog, ami the dog got locked up
in tlio safe, and the building look tire.
The outside of the safe was red-hot,hut

In a very full report recently pub

George I.Graham, a prominent poll
ticlan and active journalist, (connected
with the Philedelphia Sunday Mirror),
who, by us'ng tlie great German
remedy, St. Jacob's Oil, was cured ot
a troublesome ease of rheumatism,
contracted during Hie war. He closes
his statement with—"to those who are
afflicted with that complaint, it is
worth its weight in gold."
A VERY high-toned looking young
man in an exquisite moustache, loud
plaid clothes, red necktie, low-crown
ed hat. straw-eolored kids, and knit
ting-needle cane, walked Into a tobac
co-shop, and throwing down a halt a
dollar on the counter, said: "Well,
this Is the worst town I ever saw; a

sa.ismcti ry, and 1 am utterly unable
to 8 e how api rsvn of fastidious lasie

"Yes, sir," said the cigar man
meekly.
"Weil, then, fly around lively aud
do it. Don't you see that half dol

"Yes, sir. What kind of a cigar d
yoti wish, sir?"
"What kind?"
"Yes, sir."
"Why, look at me, sir, a moment,
and see lor yourself ,w hat kind of a
cigar would suit me;" and lio drew
himself up grandly and gazed dov n
oil the shopkeper.
The shopkeeper looked, and then
took in the hull dollar, got out a cigar
handed it to the man with lorty-uiiie
cents change, and said: "1 owe you
nail a cent, sir, but 1 can't make the
change unless you take another
cigar."
The nice man looked at the shop
keeper, and then at the cigar, and
then at himself, and without a single
word niarcned out of the shop.
