Rmo7iu3 Cliaff or Beards from the eye
of an Ox,
It is? a very cotninou tliingforo.it cliaflf ami
Wards of barley and wheat to attach theiu
t-elves to tiic eyes of cattle that have access to
traw and chaff ; and it i.-> by no means un
common to see the eyes of animals so much in
flamed by such substances getting into them,
that they often nearly or quite destroy the
eight. A barley beard is a very ugly thing in
a bullock's or a cowV eye ; and oat chaff is
quite as bad, if not worse. An animal can
work out a Ward, usually, much sooner than
they can oat chaff : because oat chaff, if it
once gets wet and gets on the ball of the eye,
w ill adhere as closely as a piece of wet paper
will adhere to a smooth board, and the animal
cannot remove it : and in a few days a film
will be formed on the eye, and probably the
sight would be very much injured, if not de
troyed. Wo know that such a harsh, huge
" beam*' must hurt an animal intolerably : he
cause, when even a little atom of dust lodges
into oue of our eyes, we ahuo-t go into convul
sions.
Tlte usual way of removing such .-uWtances
from an animal',-, eye i> to blow into the eye,
through a tube, some salt and alum, (most un
merciful remedy,) or to attempt to throw hon
ey into the affected eye, or to squirt tobacco
spit into the eve I would as soon inject sul
phuric acid, or till the eve with sand to remove
such substance?.
My way of removing such substances I have
always found very practicable and effective,
and by 110 means harsh. As soon as it is evi
dent that there is anything in an animal's eye,
which will be readily seen by its incessant run
ning, put a rope 011 the animal, and if it will
not stand quietly, tie it to a post. Rub the
hand gently over and about the eye, until the
animal will ailow you to handle the eye-lids..
Oat chaff will be seen almost always on the
lower side of the eye ball ; and many men can
not sec it, even when it is iu full view, until it
has been pointed out to them. A barley heard
will be found almost every where. Let the eye
bo opened as much as necessary, turning the
eye-lids back if necessary ; and there is no mis
take nut what chaff or beard can be seen.—
Now take a good silk handkerchief in one hand
and draw a portion of it over the fore finger,
and thrust it carefully into the eye ;*and if the
silk touch a heard, it will bring it out But
an out chaff will adhere closely, and it may be
necessary to try again ; but I never failed to
fetch it the second time. S KIUVAIUIS TODD.

To PREVENT BAD ODOR?. —Both the fluid
and solid secretions of men and animals con
tain nitrogen, a gas which has neither taste,
smell or color, while separated from oilier bo
dies, and which has iittle affinity for other ele
ments, though it i? found that tao.-e substances
most prone to fermentation are those which
contain nitrogen in some form, or as an ingre
dient of their compounds. The I'aval matters
of all animals owe their disagrceuhle smell
chiefly to a compound of nitrogen, known as
ammonia. A curious change is eff- cted, and
that spontaneously, too, in theexcretions as
they cease to form a part of the living organ
ism. They contain nitrogen, the elements of
water, viz ; hydrogen, oxygen and carbon.—
The carbon unites with the hydrogen, thus de
stroying the water. These two compounds be
ing simultaneously formed, are set free at the
same time, when they now unite, forming what
may be termed a double compound —carbonate
of ammonia—the odorous chnient of j rivvs,
vaults, coss-poohs and barn-yard'
Most decent people would gladly prevent
these disagreeable odors from escaping and
tainting the whole atmosphere about, if they
could procure, cheaply, some effectual deodori
ser. There is needed no better material for
this than every man find on his own farm in a
greater or less supply —peat, or turf, mingled
with the fermenting miss, or spread over tlte
heaps, l.eavi s and wood's mould, and plaster,
make excellent absorbents and deodorizers,and
they will add immensely to the fertilizing value
of the whole. What better application need
be asked for our soil than barn and privy ma
nure, and the content? of the cess-pool,all min
gled with pent, turf, plaster, Ac., and well
crumbled down ? There i? no better general
applications. B.— Prairie Parmer, April 2f>.
HEX MASERU. —More than one correspon
dent has lately asked : llow shall I prepare
lieu manure for use. what crops does it. benefit,
how and when should it be applied? To
which we reply : Have on hand a lot of old
barrels, and shove! the hen manure into them,
mixing: it as you go, with twice its bulk of
loam,muck or sand, it is an excellent plan to
scatter fresh dirt or plaster under the hen
roosts every few days. The compost thorough
ly mixed together, may be applied by the sin
gle handful to every hill of corn. Forty bush
els of the mixture will thorough!)' manure .*lll
acre. It may lie applied not only to corn, but
also to encumbers, melons, squashes, grape
vines, and indeed to everything, growing in a
garden. Ir is quite as active a fertilizer as
Peruvian guano.
To Km.i' IIAMS tx SIMMER. —One good way
I>> to put a layer of coarse salt iu the bottom
of a barrel, then lay in a ham and cover it with
salt, and then another, and so on till the bar
rel is filed. Of course, this salt should be dry,
and the barrel should be kept in a dry place.
Another and better way, is to sew up each
ham in u coarse cloth bag, then give the whole
a coating of whitewash and hang up the bag
in a smokehouse, or any dark, cool place.
A sure way of keeping bams fresh, but not
a neat way, is to bag them as before mention
ed, and bur? the bag in the ush-hole, taking it
out as wanted.
We have known thorn to keep very well by
simply wrapping iu several thicknesses of news
paper and lung in an open garret. A corre.s
pondent says they also " keep perfectly, as he
ha s proved, by packing in sweet dry hay run
through a hay cotter. Then wrap them with a
single thickness of newspaper, and surround
each liarn with a portion of the hay ; tie the
whole in large cotton bags, and hang in a dry
place.
