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.

THE GREATEST
MEDICAL DISCOVERY
OF THE AGE.
DR. 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! Ague,
Pain in the Side, Disease* of ihe Spine, and particularly
in diseases of the Kidneys, fcc., the discovery has done
more good than any medicine ever known.
No change of diet ever necessary—eat Ihe best you
get and plenty of it

FULL QUART BOTTLES,
And containing the strength of six times as
much pure Honduras Sarsaparilla as any
other similar preparation in America.
A FEW bottles of this Sarsaparilla, put up
several years ago, rendering it the more
valuable, (as all well-informed druggists know
that age improves it,) have been deposited at
the drug store of CHA'RLES RITZ, in Lewistown,
where they arc offered for sale at three-fourths
the regular price, namely 75 cents per bottle.
It has been a well established f3Ct for years
past tha Sarsaparilla, when pure and properlv
prepared, was the only true panacea for all di
seases originating from an impure state of the
blood, the use of mercury, intoxicating drinks,
evil habits in youth, barrenness, &c. We bold
ly assert that JOHN BULBS FLUID EX
TRJICT OF SJIRSJIP.IRILUI is the only pre
paration before the public that is prepared on
strictly scientific principles and of uniform
strength. The sarsaparilla is purchased with
out regard to price, and every pound, before
being used, is subject to the strictest chemical
tests, and its genuineness ascertained before
beinj used. Bull's Sarsaparilla also contains
the virtues of several other valuable medical
roots, together forming the best compound, and
producing the greatest curative agent in the
known world ! This medicine, when used ac
cording to directions, has cured
Scrofula or King's Evil, Cancers, Tumors, Erujt
tions of the Skin, Erysipelas, Chronic Sore
Eyes, Ringworm or Tetters, Scald Head,
Rheumatism, Old Sores and Ulcers,
Pains in the bones or Joints, Swelling of the

in the Side and Shoulders, General Debility,
Dropsy, Lumbago, Jaundice, Costiveness, Sore
Throat, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, Weakness

other diseases tending to produce
CONSUME TION,
Liver Complaint, Female Irregularities and
Complaints, Sick and Nervous Headache, Low
Spirits, Night Sweats, Exposure or Imprudence
in Life, Chronic Constitutional Diseases, and is
a spring and summer drink and general tonic
for the system, and a gentle and pleasant pur
gative, far superior to Blue Lick or Congress
