The Footia Mou'N Disease.
The contagious and destructivl disuse
t bat has destroyed so many herd.; in gng
-I:tnd and the continent has main reached
the United States, and several cases t,f
what appears to be a genuine foot and
mouth disease have appeared in Indiana,
Kentucky and Missouri. Unfortunately
but little can be done, but unquestionaby
no precaution should be neglected. Even
in England, where the small territory and
uniform laws permit almost perfect goven
mental supervision, it has been found im
possible to establish sufficiently rigid quar
antine, and in our own large area, under
the many State codes, we may not hope to
do as well. But we can do something
and profit by the experience of our Eng
lish Cousins. The plague differs from
those familiar to American stock raisers,
poisonous secretions being continually giv
en off from the head and feet and carried
upon the feet of animals to other places.
Even birds have been known to carry the
contagion from one herd to another. Mr.
Henry Reese, the distinguished verterin
arian of England, gives the following ad
vice in case of an attack :
The secretion of the nostrils and feet
of an animal effected with the disease is so
highly infectious that if a small quantity
of it be rubbed on the nostrils of a
sound animal the disease is communicated
in a few hours. So, if the instant symp
toms of the disease arc observed, the effected
animal is isolated in sonic secure place and
kept well littered down with straw, and
the feet and nostrils are carefully cleaned
night and morning with a solution of car
bolic acid—one part of acid to forty of wa
ter—it will effectually destroy all powers
of infection and prevent the spread of the
disease.
A cooking mixture for the animals at_
tacked is composed of half pound salts,
quarter ounce niter, quarter ounce of gin
ger and three ounces gin and three pints
of thin gruel for grown cattle—quarter of
this dose will be given to sheep—and the
nostrils to be cleansed three times a day
with warm water, and then to be washed
by means of a syringe with a solution of
carbolic acid—ono large teaspoonful of
tho acid to half pint of warm water—after
which the head of the animal being raised,
a teaspoonful of olive oil may be poured
into each nostril. The feet after being
cleaned, should also be washed with a
stron i z solution of earbolie acid, S . :ay one
pint of acid to ten pints of water, and
then sutcared with at ointounit of one
part of tar to two of palm-oil. The atii
inal if possible should be f.;l on green
food, with a fair allowance of grain, and
drink allowed only after each dressing.
The Corn Corn Crop.
The September report of the depart
went. of, egrleulture the United States
says of the care crup: Could it be thor
oughly,ripened its aggregate would exceed
any previous yield, and the yield per acre
would be one of the best, notwithstanding
the losses by overflow of bottoms and sat
uration of heavy fiat soils, such losses prov
ing less than the usual damages by drought
and insects, while the rains have greatly
benefited the crop on drier and higher
soils. Nearly everywhere corn is late in
maturing from one to two weeks. A gen
eral high condition is.still maintained, the
average being one per cent., higher than
in August. The State averages are :
Maine, 105 ; New Harushire, 100 ; \Ter-
taont, 98 ; Massathusetts, 100 ; Connecti
cut, 108; New York, 99; New Jersey ,
111; Pennsylvania, 108; Delaware, 100;
106; Virginia, 112 , North
Carolina, 104; South Carolina, 87; Geer

-116 : Louisiana, 85 ; Texas, 89 ;
Arkansas, 103; Tennessee, 114; West
Virgins, 107 ; Kentucky, 103 ; Ohio, 97 ;
Michigan, 101 ; Indiana, 83 ; Illinois, 95;
Wisconsin, GO; Minnesota, 72; lowa, 92 ;
Missouri, 111 ; Kansas, 109 ; Nebraska,
93 ; California, 95 ; Oregon, 100.
Weighing Cattle by Measure.
The following rules are given by which
t':(.3 weight of cattle can be ascertained ap
f ruzimately by measurement:
Take the length of the back from the
cl:rve of the tail to the fore-end of the
:-iloalder blade, and the girth around the
bi , :ast just behind the fore-legs. These
iliwensions must be taken in inches. 'Uni
t iply the girth by the length, and divide
by 144. If the girth is less than 3 feet,
12,ultiplyby 11; if between 3 and 5 feet,
t::Wtirtly by 16; if between 5 and 7 feet,
nktl/423 ; if between 7 and 9 feet, mul
tiply 31. If the animal is very lean, one
twentieth must be deducted—and if very
fat, one-twentieth must be added.
A.nother rule :
Take all dimensions as before, in feet,
and then multiply the square of the girth
by the length, and that product be 3.36.
The result will be pounds. If you desire
to know what:au animal will dress, multiply
Cie live weight by the decimal .605: the
Foduct approximates to the actual net
r.t-ight very closely.
MPROVEMENT OP CLAYEY SOILS.-
0.0 of the principal defects of the clayey
soils, especially where they rest upon a
subsoil of the same nature, is the excess
of water which is held in them. The on
ly effectual way, in a majority of cases, to
g t rid of this is by:thorough underdrain-
This draws off by imperceptible degrees
a!i the excess of water, and opens the soil
to the free admission of the air, which in
i s passage through it imparts warmth and
s:l. - .1 fertilizing gases as it may contain,
opt' drains or ditches, though less effec
tual, are useful. In some cases, water
fuesows, terminating in some ravine or
ditch, serve a good purpose.
IF a glass stopper won't move, hol I the
It eck of the bottle to a flam,3, or warm it
by taking two turns of a string and see
swing it. The heat engendered expands
the neck of the bottle before a correspond
ing expansion reaches the stopper.
THE weather has been favorable fur ag
ricultural purposes.

A FEW REASONS
WHY SIM
AItION PIANO
is sumion TO ,4L4 ()Fumy
The ARION PIANO-FORTE has gremter
than any other Piano-Forte manufactured.
It will Stand Ur Tune Longer►
and ►o its mechanical construction it is more per
feet, and, tterefore,inore durable, than any instru
ment constructed in the usual modern style.
The arrangement of tho Agrafre, the manner of
stringing, the peculiar feral tel arrangement of
the Iron Frame
SUPERCEDES ALL OTHERS
Thu use of a bar (which is a part of the iron
Frame on a lino with the heavy steel stringing,)
give.
GREAT STRENGTH
where most needed, and in this respect all other
pianoes fail:
The construction of the WREST PLANK, into
which the tuning Pins are inserted, is such that it
is impossible fur the pins to come loosened, or the
Wrest Plank itself to split, as is too often the case
in other Piano-Fortes.
The Extraordinary Evenness
throughout the scale, the excellent Singing Quali-
ity, the
LENGTH AND PURITY OF 'VIBRATION'
all go to prove what we zlaini, vie : that the
ARION PIANO-FORTE
Is the Best Instrument Manufactured.

APPLETONS'
AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA
NEW REVISED EDITION.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every
subject. Printed from new type, and illustrated
with Several Thousand Engravings and Maps.
The work originally published under the title of
TITS New AMaRICAN CYCLOPADIA. Was completed
in 1863, since which time the wide circulation
which it has attained in all parts of the United
States, and the signal developments which have
taken place in every branch of science, literature
and art, have induced the editors and publishers
to submit it to an exact and thorough revision,
and to issue a new edition entitled Tun AMERICAN
CYCLOP.EDIA.
Within the last ten years the progress of discov
ery in every department of knowledge has made a
new work of reference an impera tive want.
The movement of politieidatairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful
application to the industrial and useful arts and
the convenience and refinement of social life.
Great ware and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own courtry, which
was at its height when the last volume of the old
work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new
course of commercial and industrial activity has
been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical knowledge
have been made by the indefatigable explorers of
Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last decade,
with the natural result of the lapse of time, h=ve
brought into public view a multitude of new men
whose names aro in every one's mouth, and o
whose lives every one is curious to know the par
ticulars. Great battles have been fought and im
portant sieges maintained, of which the details are
as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the
transient publications of the day, but which ought
now to take their place in permanent and authen
tic history.
In preparing the present edition fur the press,
it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possible
dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the
most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh
production in literature, and of the newest inven
tions in the practical arts, as well as to give a
suocinct and original record of the progress of po
litical and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and careful
preliminary labor, and with the most ample re
sources for carrying it on to a successful termina
tion.
None of the original stereotype plates have been
used, but every page has been printed on new
type, forming in fact a new Cyclopedia, with the
same plan and compass as its predecessor, but
with a far greater peennia7 expenditure, and with
such improvements in its composition as have
been suggested by longer experience and enlarged
knowledge.
The illustrations which are introduced for the
first time in the present edition have been added
not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
lucidity and force to the explanations in the text.
They embrace all branches of science and of natu
ral history, and depict the most famous and re
markable features of scenery, architecture and art,
as well as the various processes of mechanics and
manufacturers. Although intended for instruction
realer than embellishment, no pains have been
spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost
of their execution is enormous, and it is believed
they will find a welcome reception as an admira
ble feature of the Cyelopirdia, and worthy of its
high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed
in sixteen large octavo volumes. each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrAted, with several
thousand Wood Engravings, awl with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.
