FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Warts on a Horse.
Warts are a cutaneous disease; tbey
consist of tumors formed by an en
larged growth of the papilla? of the
skin, which is covered by thickened
epidermis. They are vascular and are
provided with blood vessels and nerves,
excepting on the hardened surface. It
is probable that they are parasitic in
their nature, and constitutional and
contagious. The most effective remedy
is to destroy the diseased growth by
caustics, as carbolic acid, nitric acid,
nitrate of silver, or sulphate of copper,
and to dress the wound produced by
ordinary means—as with tincture of
benzoin—until new, healthy skin is
formed. A continued course of anti
septic and alterative medicine might
be useful—as half-ounce doses of hy
posulphite of soda daily.
Peas for nog*,
There are several important advan
tages to be gained by the introduction
of pea culture aside from a direct profit
derivable from them when fed to hogs.
There are but a few better rotation
crops than peas. A crop of peas leaves
the soil in a fine condition for wheat.
Beside, the manure from hogs fed on
peas is regarded as superior to almost
any other kind. They may be grown
and fed to hogs profitably either in a
green or matured state. I'eas are
cheaply grown and do not require the
richest soil; and, owing to their hardy
nature, they can be sown very early in
the season, thereby assisting in the de
struction of troublesome weeds. If the
object is to grow them as a green crop
or a crop to be fed by allowing the
hogs to gather them, they should be
sown either at different dates or the
seed should be of different varieties, so
that the times of maturing will not
fall together. If, however, the object
be to grow them to feed after maturity
and after they have been harvested'
threshed, etc., the seed may be of one
variety. The time for sowing should
be regulated somewhat by the season.
Jf sown to be gathered by the hogs,
.o§e and one-half bushels is about right,
for in'Hhat case early varieties are
used; .but in sowing the latter at least
two bushels should be used. For a
crop pea, our fancy would favor the
black eye; twenty or thirty bushels on
fair soil is considered a fair crop. Pea
vines, or pea vine hay, is .about as val
uable for sheep as clover hay. If the
hogs are to do the harvesting, they may
be turned into the peas as soon as the
pods ar<rlump, or, in other words
about as soon as the pea has its matu
rity. If the peas are to be fed after
maturity and after threshing, they
should be either cooked or soaked; if
used in the latter way the soaking
should last twenty-four hours. We
know of nothing that comes as near
perfection for hog plaster as clover,
and more especially if land plaster—
gypsum—is applied judiciously. We
think if a system of clover pea, root
and grain culture could be introduced
here, that would make hog growing
one of the most remunerative indus
tries of the state.— Rural Messenger.
Ensilage.
Professor Voelcker, the foremost
agricultural chemist of England, is to
be counted among the latest converts
to the system of saving green fodder
in silos. Mr. Atkinson of Boston, sent
him two casks—one of maize fodder,
the other of rye—of which Professor
Voelcker returns analyses, and, what is
of more importance, the report that
the substances reached him in good
condition, the maize fodder being per
fectly sound, the rye very slightly
moldy. He adds that, while he prefers
the maize to the rye, both remained
perfectly wholesome food for cattle,
and the bulk of what had beeD sent
htm from the neighborhood of Boston
was fed, with a little cotton-seed meal
to cows on an experimental farm. The
animals "took to the ensilage at once
and liked it much."
On this Mr. Atkinson relates that he
has himself kept two cows from fall
feed to summer pasture on the ensilage
got from half an acre of good land; and
he believes that with careful manage
ment four cows can be kept to the acre
of ensilage, with a proportion of cotton
seed meal added, and maintained in
good condition. He makes two sug
gestions which seem to us valuable to
small farmers and to those engaged in
the transport of cattle across the ocean.
"The fact that fodder could be taken
from the pits, pacxed in casks and sent
to England in good condition is sugges
tive: First, as to the feeding of live
cattle in crossing the sea. Would not
good corn fodder, packed in casks, be
better than hay, and more suitable,
bulk for bulk? Second, may not per
sons who live in city or village raise
fodder at some distance, permit it to
wither on the field, so as to lose its
elasticity, and then pack it in flour bar
rels or sugar barrels, using a lever to
press it, to be brought in from the
farm to the city or village, as needed
for the family cow ?"
Why should not farmers near villages
and towns make a profitable business
of preparing and selling ensilage to
those w r ho keep cows but have too lit
tle ground for their maintenance the
year round? Such persons now buy
dry feed. Why would they not prefer
to buy ensilage ? There is here a hint
for a new industry which would give
added value to land near towns and
villages and profitable employment to
men.— N*w York Her old.

Strange Coincidences.
In the small town of Zeitz, in Prus
sian Saxonv, lived two women, Frau
Schmidt and Frau Feustel, occupying
adjoining rooms in the same house. In
February, 1881, each was made on the
same day the mother of triplets, all
boys. This was a decidedly curious
coincidence in births. The Rev. Mr.
Busch, of Winona, Minn., whose live
children were all born on Sunday, has
been the subject of some newspaper
paragraphs, but his case is less note
worthy than that of a resident of Mid
dletown. Conn., three of whose children
have the same birthday—Nov. 16. A
less remarkable coincidence is noted
in the case of Mrs. William Minning>
of Mount Auburn, 0., who celebrated
on one day the anniversary of her birth,
of her wedding and of the birth of a
grandchild. Why should accident have
ordained that the same company of
minstrels should have visited Washing
ton on the day that President Garfield
was inaugurated, on the day that his I
remains were borne in state to the
capitol, and on the day that the oration
was pronounced upon him by Mr-
Blaine?
An odd coincidence was reported not (
long ago. In 1862 a tire destroyed the
city of Kingston. Jamaica. On the day
of the fire Aaron de Cordova was born,
Aaron de Cordova's grandfather was
the first man on the island who erect- j
ed a building. After the lire three 1
months ago in the same place the pres>*
ent Aaron de Cordova was the first
man who erected a building. It was a
curious fate which ordained that the
son of the Austrian Baron Carl von
Ilofer, and Andreas Holer's great
grandson, should perish by a bullet dis
charged during a rifie match, being the
fifth member of this distinguished
family slain bv such a wound. Three
* *
years ago one Lewis Hiltz, of Inde
pendence, Mo., killed Joseph Melody,
but was acquitted on the ground of in
sanity. Two years later, on the same
day and at the same hour he received
a fat;d sunstroke on the same spot
where he committed the crime. Coin- ,
cidences relative to deaths are numer
ous if not always very noteworthy.
On April 19, 1882, Edward (Joss
was buried at Troy, in this state, from
the same house at which, in 1870, the
same clergyman had buried his brother
James. Both brothers died on the
same day of the month at the same !
hour.
How Terfume Is Extracted.
One of the best methods of obtaining
perfumes is by the use of grease.
The process is called maceration.
The best fat employed is marrow,
which is melted in a water bath and
strained. While it is still warm the
flowers are thrown in and left to
digest for several hours. They are
then taken out and f-esh ones are
placed in the grease. This is contin
ued for several days. The grease and
perfume are then separated by the use
of alcohol. Beef marrow is not the
only substance used in extracting the
odors from the flowers. Inodorous
acids are also used, especially refined
olive oil, which is more extensively
employed in the south of Europe.
The process used for delicate plants,
such as jessamine, tuberose and cassia,
which will not allow the use of heat, is
on the principle of absorption. A
layer of purified lard and such mixture
is spread on the glass bottom of a
square wooden box, and upon this
freshly gathered flowers are spread
every morning as long as the flower is
in bloom. The boxes are kept shut,
and the grease soon acquires a very
strong odor. In saturating oil, instead
of glass bottoms to the boxes wire
ones are used, upon which cloths soak
ed in oil are laid, and the boxes or
frames are piled upon each other to
keep them close. After the oil-soaked
cloths are sufficiently charged with the
perfume, they are placed in a press
and the oil is squeezed out.

TOPICS OF THE DAV.
Snake bites are said to cause the
1 death of twenty thousand people in
India during some years, so that in
half a century almost a million peoplo
perish from this one cause. Accord

' of rewards; and in 1880, according to
recent statistics, 212.776 of the reptiles

It is marvelous how sheep and wool
growing have increased in this coun
try within the last fifteen or twenty
years. In 1800 there were only about
2 ; 1,000,000 sheep in the United States.
We now have nearly 50,000,000. In
1860 the wool clip amounted to only
6CUXM.OOO pounds; to-day it is nearly
300,000,000 pounds—an increase with
in this period of over two-fold of sheep
and live-fold in the production of wool,
giving unmistakable evidence of our
wdvance in this industry.
Scarcely any characteristic of the
Herman emperor is more marked than
his aversion to capital punishment. In
the period from 1861 to 1878 only
twenty-six out of 218 capital sentences
were carried out, and during the next
decade, of 420 criminals condemned to
death, llodd, the would-be assassin,
was the only one executed. During
the years 1870 and 18S0 only one cap
ital sentence out of eighteen was exe
cuted, and there were only four execu
tions in each of the years 1881 and
1882. The almost invariable commuta
tion of the death sentence has been to
penal servitude lor life.
••I sympathize," says Mr. Labou
chiere in London Truth, "with the Bir
mingham butcher who has been con
demned to one month's imprisonment
for selling donkey as human food, be
cause donkey is infinitely better eating
than either beef or mutton ; indeed, I
do not know any meat which is better.
This was so soon perceived by the
French during the siege of Paris that
ionkey-meat was about five times the
price of horse-meat. At Yoisin's there
was almost every day a joint of cold
donkey for breakfast, and it was great
ly prelerred to anything else. Let any
one who doubts the excellence of cold
donkey slay one of these weak-niinded
inimals, cook him and eat him."
The increase of the meat and live
rattle exportation from this country
to England, is illustrated by the state
ment of the London Truth that during
one recent week seven steamers arrived
in Liverpool from America with car
goes of fresh meat, consisting of 9041
quarters of beef and 1608 carcasses of
mutton, while seven other vessels
brought to tHo same port 2655 cattle
and 2815 sheep. Possibly some of
these fourteen vessels were from South
America and Canada, but doubtless
most of them came from the United
States. In the days when cotton was
king the American civil war produced
great distress in Lancashire, but Eng
land now depends largely on America,
not only for cotton, but for food.
The Russian government has begun
to execute its schemes for colonizing
the lower part of the A moor province,
adjoining the Chinese frontier, by dis
patching from Odessa 810 emigrants,
constituting 250 families. If the pro
ject, which contemplates the removal
of 100,000 persons to the new settle
ments, is carried out on the scale on
which it has begun, the expense will
be enormous—r.ot. much less than $lO,-
XK),000, in the opinion of the Moscow
Gazette. The colonists already dis
patched were supplied with flour, oats,
agricultural implements, forty mill
stones. 2000 wagon wheels, several
'housand pairs of boots, and other arti
cles of clothing, nails, screws, axes,
saws and window glass, and each fam

Senor Felipe Poev, a famous ichthy

which he lias yet to get more exact in

(<Januien , Af#., lit raid.)
The moral and legal respons b lity ot t>a
feflts, in the care of their chid.en la, for
tunately, attracting the serious attention of
the better portion of the entire country. The
many instances of child-beating, oppression
and other forms of cruelly which have come
to light, demacd that something bo done;
and it is gratifying to kn iw that the people
are becoming thoroughly aroused. Whether
the cruelty be in the fo m of physioal vio
lence or physical neglect matters not—the
principle in both eases is the same. The man
or woman who neglects his or her own health
may be pardoned, as the con e'Hiences fall
upon the individual alone; but the parent or
guardian who permits the inroads of disease
npon the innoceut ones dependent upon him
for protection, is criminally liable in the
sight of God, however he may appear in the
eyes of men. There are, however, parents
that intend to caie for their children, but.
who throngh cnrele sness or the urgency or
other duties, permit them to become the in
nocent victims of disease. Such parents
may be guiltless of intentional wrong, bnt
Die disastrous results npon their childreh are
jfcfl as grea.
These are truths which mnst be manifest
to every worthy patent and especially in a
vicinity where the unknown effects of trie at
mosphere, the watt r and the general ten
dency to maluria are so great. There are
many fumilios in this locality who have been
called npon to mourn untimely losses, even
when the greatest care was exercised; but
the experience of one Only will be given: It
is that of the late W. 0. Thomas. The chil
dren were all moit promisii g, but for some
unexplained reason their heatih and strength
seemed to gradually lessen until their fr.ends
foared they were the victims of consump
tion. vine by one they sickened and died,
until three ha J departed and two of the sur
viving brothers were also taken ill. Their
names were llerinon and Edward. Herroon,
however, seemed the stio iger of the two:
irnd while his younger brother was confined
to ihe houi-o constantly, and to his bed much
of the time, llermon was able to be alxra',
but in so weak a condition that he had no de
sire to play. Eddie's symptoms were terri
ble. lie found difiiculty iu retaining food
upon his stomach; was restless and irritable,
and out of his head frequently. At
various times threo different physi ians
visited biuij and each one told his
friends he could not live. He finally got so
low that death was only considered a mntter
of a few days. At that critical time h s
elder brothers, aroused almost to the pitch of
desperation by the three deaths that had ro
recently occurred, aud the other one staring
them m the face, resolved to take the case
into their own hands. They accordingly
did 60. and secured a remedy that was then
being universally used, and began giving it
to hm. Its effect at first was slight, but any
improvement was considered a good symp
tom. By degrees his strength returned; he
was able to eat with a relish, then walk about
the house; and finally lie regaiued complete
henl h and strength. Tie Doy was so re
{'oiced over his recovery that, accompanied
>y the editor of this p qior, he went before
Justice Charles K. Miller and made oath to
Die facts af his sickno>s as above related,
and that he was restoioi to |>erfecthe.vl;b by
the use of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. Now, Edward Thomas' parent*,
while they lived, undoubtedly, provided
faithfully for the wants of all tl.e'r children;
and yet tlie seeds of disease had taken deep
root Their care in ono d rection had been
counteracted by unknown in
anoDier. There love was sincere, but wholly
uiisdirectfd. They should have known
that children nre just ns liable to kidney
and liver di-eises as grown up i eo
ple ; and that the fatality of Bright's disease
of the kidneys is just as great among little
children as with adults. This is a serious
sub.oct. Hereditary traits: the after conse
quences of moasles and scarlet fever, diph
theria and the passing troubles which FO
easily become chronic, all demand tlie
greatest care and caution. No of cholera
infantum, measles, scarletinn. or diphtheria
was ever virulent whilo the child's kidneys
and liver were healthv. It would simply be
an impossibility. These imjic riant organs
of the body ase just forming within the
child and growing with its growi h ; and they
can be trained to strength nnd health as
readily as the little mmd can be tiaincd to
trnih and uprightness.
The importance of carefully watching the
slightest troubles of the child, and especially
those affecting the kidneys and liver, cannot
be too strougly emnhasizod. Children re
spond so readily to tnc proper remedies and
are so sensitive to disonse, that it is a sin to
deprive tlieni of oue at tho risk of incurring
the other. By a judicious treatment these
essential organs can be developed so that a
strong constitution, able to resist the inroads
of disease through coming years, shall be
the result.
