agricultural, Kt. THE HORN AIL. Several agricultural journals contend that there is no such thing as Horn Ail, or Hollow Horn in cattle; and that the boring of the horn, and the filling of it with se vere remedies, is ouly a needless cruelty to the poor animal, and may result in induc ing a disease, instead of curing one. Dr. Dadd, the able editor of the Veterinary Journal, of Boston, says he has had sever al opportunities of examining the bodies of cattle said to have died of horn ail, and that among these were cases of softening of the brain, which the remedy of boring could never reach, ('old horns, which have been considered as evidence of hol low horn, is shown to be a symptom of ca tarrh, colic, constipation, scouring, or any other derangement of the digestive organs. .Such being the fact, horn boring becomes a universal resort, and must add very much to the suffering of the cattle, and may, in some cases, actually produce death. J imri Howard, in the New England Parmer, rec ommends the following as a remedy for Hollow Horn, so-called : I had a cow sev eral vears ago that was taken, as we suppo sed. "with the horn ail. I tried almost ev erything, boring the horns, putting in salt petre, pepper and salt, and salt and vine gar, to no purpose. I heard ot a remedy which I tried, which effected a cure in a short time. It was British Oil, about a tablespoon fu! turned into each ear; I have tried the same several times since, and al ways with good effect. I never have had to put in but one dose to effect a cure. [This remedy is at least harmless, and oucht therefore to be preferred. A farmer in this county informed us some time since that he also used it.] SELECTING SEED CORN. Farmers will remember that for some years a great deal of corn came up badly. Last spring, especially, much of it "rotted ' in the ground. The loss Ironi this cause is hundreds of thousands the present sea son. On our own ground (with some four teen acres in corn; the loss was next to nothing. The same is true of some others we could name. What is the reason of the difference? Why does the seed in one field grow, and in another rot ? That is just what we wish to come at. One great cause of the rotting of seed is that it was never well ripened. Another reason is that it is badly dried. Poorly ripened and badly dried seed is very easily injured by fermentation, and a very little fermentation and moulding will destroy vi tality. Last- autumn we had the best, lar ,gest and ripest ears carefully selected, and braided together by the husks in tresses, and hung in a dry place. This was plant ed, and notwithstanding the drenching rains and mud, all came up —not a missing hill or stock—and the field is noted as one of the best in the country. The same has been the experience of some others. Those who made no selection and took no care of their seed, have had " very bad luck." Another field was planted with King Phil ip corn, not trussed ; but as this sort ripens so early and perfectly, this operation ap pears not necessary. It came up as evenly as the other. Let farmers select their best antl ripest care, and either truss and hang them up, or piace them, in the ear, where they will urv thoroughly, (unless it be some very early, quickly-ripening sorts,) and there will be better success and better luck with the corn crop.— Country Gantlemnn. Peach Tree Border*. —We ee it recom mended that among the very best remedies against the attacks of the peach worm is a good mulching of straw, dry tfeeds, chips. &c., &c. If this is a remedy, it will of course answer for the apple tree borer. In il these so-called remedies, however, the watchfulness of the cultivator must be added, or they may fail. Give to your peach, quince and apple treec the same at tention that is bestowed upon a cabbage patch, an onion bed, a crop of corn or po tatoes, and the trees will always be secure against the attacks of borers, and the crop equally certain and secure.— Geruuintoicu Telegraph. Recipe for Making Perpetual Paste. — The Fairutount True Virginian says: Hav ing tried the following recipe which we found in Warrack's Virginia Almanac for 1857, we can recommend it to all persons who have constant use for paste. We have now before us paste made several weeks ago which is just as sweet and as adhesive as when first marie. We think we were fortunate in stumbling upon so excellent a recijHi. In a quart of warm water dissolve one ounce of alum ; let it stand till cold, and the n stir in flour until it is of thecon- SH* _'ney of cream; add half a tcaspoonsful of powdered rosin and a few cloves; then put tlie mixture on the fire and boil until done, taking care to stir it all the time. lo Drier Aicuy Flies. —The Courier tlu Havre, in alluding to the plan lately sug gested for driving away flies (the use of Laurel Oil), says that no fly will enter a room in which a wreath of walnut leaves has been hung up.

KENNEDY, of Koxbury, has discovered in one of our common pasture tcicdsa remedy that cures livery Kind of Humor from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple. HE ha? tried it in over 1 ion cases, and never failed ex cept in iwo (b.ult thunder humor.) lie lias now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its virtue,all within I went} miles of Host on. Two hollies arc warranted to cure a nursing Sore Mouth. One to three bottles will cure the worst kind of Pimples on the Face Two to three bottles will clean the system of Bites. Two bottles are warranted to cure tlie worst Canket in the Mouth and Stomach. Three to five bottles are warranted to cure the worst case of Erysipelas. One to two bottles are warranted to cure all llumor in the eyes. Two bottles are warranted in cure Running of the Ears and Blotches among the 11 ,ir. Four to six bottles are warranted to cure corrupt and running lileers. One bottle will cure Scaly Eruption of the Skin. Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the worst case of Ringworm. Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the most desperate case of Rheumatism. Three to four bottles are warranted to cure the Salt Rheum. Fiveto eight bottles w tit cure the worst case of Scrof ula A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a perfect cure is w*l,"anted when U,c at>. ye quanti ty is taken. Reader, I peddled over a thousand bottlesof this in ihe vicinity of Boston. I know t lie effect of it in every case So sure as water will extinguish fire, unsure will this cure humor I never sold a bolt lent' it but thai sold an other; altera trial it always speaks for itself. There are two things about this herb that appears to me sur prising; first that it grows in our pastures, in some pla ees quite plentiful, and yet its value has never been known until I discovered it ill 1816—second,thai it should cure all kinds of humor. In order to give some Idea of the sudden rise and zront popularity of the discovery, I will state tiiat in April, 1&33.1 peddled it ami HII about six bottle* per day—in April, Ibil, I sold over one thousand bottle* per day of it. Some of ttie wind-sale Druggist* who have been in business In cbty and thirty years, say that not lung in the annals of patent medicines was ever like it. There is a universal praise of it from all ijnariera In my own practice I.always kept it strictly for humor* —but since it* introduction a#a general family medicine, great and wonderful virtues irave been found in it that I never suspected. Several cases of epileptic, fits—a disease which was always considered incurable, have been cured by a few bottles. O, what a mercy if it will prove effectual in all cases of that awful malady—there are few seen more of it than I have. 1 know of several cases of Dropsy, all of them aged people, cured by it for the various diseases of ihe Liv er, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthma, fever am!
