TT'ICS FOR F ATT FAINT.—TIIKIR TI!KATMF.XT,&C.
-—lf you have them not already prepared, you
should forthwith prepare your pens and yards j
for the hogs you intend to fatten. The pens
should consist of two apartments ; the one for
them to sleep in, the other to feed in; they
both should be tight, dry, warm, with doorway
leading from the feeding loom .into an enclosed
vard ; the yard should he provided with a rub
bing post. When tlie masts of the forest are
consumed, the hogs should be withdrawn and j
confined in their fattening quarters, us it isim- ;
portant tliev should be placed therein in good
condition, which condition they will be in as
long as Ihe mast affords them ample supplies
of food. 1 before removing the hogs from the ,
woods or other pasture, have your hog-yard
covered some five or six inches deep with marsh
or river mud, cleanings of ditches, woods-mould,
road-scrapings, the earth from headlands, or
any rough materials capable of being convert
ed into manure. Every two weeks during the
fattening season remove these substances from
the yard into some convenient place, form them
into compost heaps, intermixing therewith I
bushel of plaster with every 20 loads, and co
ver the heaps with earth and compressing the
earth with the back of the shovel. Each co
vering of the substances named, as removed,
should be replaced with others. Let not the
trouble aud labor this may give you deter you
from following our advice, as for every hog
you may have in your pen, yoa may thereby
obtaiu two loads of as good manure as ever
fertilised the earth. Than hog manure, the
solid and liquid, ttiere is no animal manure so
rich, or more so, in those elements which tend
to fertilise the earth and ensure large crops.
This will readily be admitted when we reflect
upon the fact that every 100 lbs. of urine of
the hog contains 5.G4 per cent, of urea with
a little slime and albumen—which may be con
sidered as equal, on decomposition, to so much
ammonia, and that the salts amount to 1.70
per cent ; while the solid and liquid, taken to
gether, ranks hog manure ds equal to night
soil.
When your hogs are first taken up for fat
tening, they should receive two or three doses
of flour of sulpher, and as many of copperas,
say a table-spoonful at a dose, to he given in
messes of bran, or meal, made into slop, at in
tervals of a day apart. Ti.e'r food for the
first two or three weeks should be pumpkins,
apples and roots, or other vegetables which
should be boiled, or steamed, and made into
madies with bran or meal, the latter should be
increased from-day to day, so that when they
come to have corn, or meal altogether, the
change of diet may not be injuriously felt by
them.
In connection with the subject of feeding
grain, we would remind our readers that ground
corn meal, cooked, will go 30 per cent, further
in fattening hogs than will the raw grain whole,
and that the whole grain when boiled will go
15 or 20 per cent, further than when not boil
ed.
Cow AND CATTLE YARDS. —These should he
provided with warm, dry sheds, facing the
south or south-east, for the animals to retire
to in inclement weather, mid to sleep in; the
sheds should be divided into stalls, and provid
ed with racks and mangers to feed in ; the
beds of the stalls should be so graded to lie
higher than the yard, so as to keep the stalls
dry, and if possible, the cattle should be pro
vided with straw or other coarse litter as bed
ding, which should be removed twice a week
and replaced with fresh materials. The young
and old cattle should have separate yards.
Before you bring your cattle into the yards
for winter quarters, have such rough materials
as we have recommended hauled therein and
spread your cow and cattle yards to the
depth of 12 inches. Let your yards be basin
shaped, so as to prevent the escape of the urine.
Spread a dusting of plaster over these rough
materials when first fashioned into shape, and
rasionally as the depositcs of your stock ac
cumulate, give the yard a dusting of plaster.
If practicable, in about six weeks after you
have brought your cattle into the yards for
winter, you should add 0 inches in depth of
rough materials, preserving the basin-like shape
of the yard, adding plaster as before. If yon
follow this advice, next spring when you come
to remove your manure to the fields, if you
mix it up well as you throw it into your carts
and wagons, every pound of it will be better
than any cow-yard manure you erer made in
the ordinary way, because the ammoniacal ele
ments of the manure will have been measura
bly preserved from deterioration.
RULES FOR MILKING.—If you would have a
gentle cow, be gentle yourself.
If a cow kicks much, place a switch under
the left arm, the pail in the left hand, and if,
while milking she kicks, let it lie followed in
variably by a single blow. Never strike but
once at a time, even though she kick so hard
a* to break your leg, and never omit it, if she
hits nothing.
IJy never striking but once, she has no time
to get mad, and it is nil the more terrific, for
who cares for a blow when stimulated by fury.
A small mess of pleasant food at the time
will serve to do away with any disagreeable
impression in connexion with milking.
To be a good milker you must pure your
nails short, sit on a stool, milk fast, never
scold the cow, never get out of patience, tie
lIT tail to her leg in fly time, never wet the
teats with the first stream of milk, and never
etrike a cow for running or kicking.
Alilk, applied to the teats to soften them,
rlric, and forms a glossy varnish, which tends
to cause cracking or chapping of these parts.
( old water is much better, becoming quite
dry by the time the milking is finished, and
leaving the teats clean.
CHANGE OF KEF.D FOR HORSE. —The kind of
feed for animals should be changed frequent Iv.
A horse long kept on shorts, will be affected
by ft fever in his legs and ftT't, producing a re
sult similar to founder. Shorts, corn meal, or
cob meal shoul 1 never lie given except in a
mixed state ; with cut hay or straw. This
will require them to eat slower, and the food is
better prepared for digestion. If given alone
it ferments rapidly in the stomach, produces
a general fever, injures the digestive powers,
and finally produces a stiffness throughout the
limbs. When these results are discovered the
remedy is a change of food. Continual feed
ing on oats alone will produce the same result
ns shorts, or meal ; aud many a founder is cans
ed by it, as well as by feeding, or drinking
the horse is warm. If necessity compels
n jierson to feed a horse on shorts, corn meal
ou meal, cob meal, a supply of salt should be
aoled to prevent fermentation in the stounvh

for Diseases of the Bladder ami Kidneys, Secret Di-eases<

they may have originated, and no matter of how long
standing.
If you have contracted the terrible disease, which when
once seated in the system, will surely go down from one
generation to another, undermining the constitution, and
sapping the very vital fluids of life, do not trust yourself
in the hands of Quacks, who start 1111 every day in a city
like this, and fill the papers with glaring falsehoods too
well calculated to deceive the young and tlio-e not ac
quainted with their trick-. You cannot be too careful in
the selection of a remedy in these cases.
The fluid extract lhicliu has been pronounced by emi
nent Physicians
THE GREATEST REMEDY EVER KNOWN.
It is a medicine pcrkctiy pleasant iigits taste, and very
innocent in its action, and yet so thorough that it annihi
lates every particle of the rank and poisonous virus of this
disease; and, unlike other remedies, it does not dry up
the disease in the lilood.
Constitutional Debility, brought on by self-abuse, a most
terrible disease, which has brought thousands of the hu
"man race to untimely graves, thus blasting the brilliant
hones of parents, and blighting in the bud the glorious
ambition of tnanv .1 noble voutli, can be cured by this
INFALLIBLE REMEDY.
And as a medicine which must liencfit everybody from the
simply delicate to the conthied and despairing invalid, no
equal is to be found, acting both as a cure and preventive

Scald Head, Ulcerations of the Throat and la-gs, I'ains

This article i.-; now prescribed by some of the most dis

treatment that could lie devised. These cases furnish
striking examples of the salutary effects of this medicine
in arresting some of the most inveterate diseases, after the
