g^riroltaL DISEASES OF THE HORSE, CRACKED HOOF. This disease, also called sand-crack, oc curs only in the hoof that is dry, hard, brit tle and contracted. The hoof in a natural, elastic condition can be bruised, but not split up if double the force that splits th - dry, contracted hoof is applied. This crack oc curs most generally at the quarters, and al most. always in the fore feet, they being al most alone subject to contraction. If the crack extends through the hoof it causes very painful lameness. For treatment, the foot mustfirst be care fully examined, to see that no dirt has worked in under the hoof; the loose parts of the born must be cut away ; a pledget of tow, saturated with sulphate of chloride of zinc, or tincture of myrrh, should be applied, and ;i bandage carefully put on to keep it in place and keep out the dirt. As soon as the new horn has grown down a little, draw a line across the top of the crack with a draw ing knife or firing-iron, and apply a little tar or hoof ointment. If the crack is at the toe, a shoe with the band running across from the heels to a little below the coronet in front, and united by two screws, will often be ail that is required, and the horse may be kept at work ; but in quarter crack it is unsafe to use the animal, particularly if it extends through the soft parts. If the frog is in a health}* condition, which is rarely the case, a bar shoe, eased at the quarter, will lit- found beneficial. SOLE BLU'ISE AXII GRAVEL. Accidents frequently occur to the feet of horses from their striking them forcibly upon stones and other hard substances. Pres sure of the shoe upon the sole is the occa sional cause of bruises of that part, of the foot ; and tender heels more frequently arise from bruises than from any other cause. For treatment, if pus is secreted within the hoof—which may be discovered by the acute pain caused by a light tap of the hammer on the part of the hoof under which the matter is situated—the hoof must- be cut through, that the matter may escape, as il will gradually work its way upward ami make its appearance at the top of the hoof, thus rendering the treatment more difficult. After the matter escapes through the open ing so made, throw in an injection of sul phate of zinc in solution, one drachm to a pint of water For llie- treatment will be the same as recommended in quitter. Gravel s.imctimes works into these wounds, which must always be removed, and the parts care fully washed. FOIXUER. Founder, or laminitis, is an inflammatory condition of the latnitue of the feet, which are tlie most sensitive parts of these impor tant appendage--. Founder is said to be produced by various causes, such as hard driving, watering when warm, standing in a draught of air, or upon plank floors, and many others. The author, however, views it in a diff erent light, attributing its existence princi pally to one general cause, namely, contrac tion of the hoof, the causes before named being the immediate or exciting causes. This view is sustained by many facts. Foun der does not occur in one case out of fifty in a lieulty, open foot : nor or the hind feet often involved, as they are rarely in a con tracted condition. l'lie symptoms are a full, ipiiek pulse, from sixty upwards ; accelerated respira tion ; (he fore feet are hot and tender, the animal for rebel throwing his body back up -il the hind legs, extending the fore legs until lie rests upon the heels, and sometimes lying down, particularly are the hind feet are involved: flit-animal also manifests much pain. If (he animal is in full condition, two quarts of Idood should be taken from each of the fore feet ; an active purging ball should be given, followed by one drachm doses of belladonna made info pills every foiir hours; pbultices of flaxseed meal should be applied to the feet for several days ; injections of soap and water, also, ought not to be neglected. By this treat ment the animal is usually well again in a week, or even less ; but if the disease is neglected until it becomes chronic, the ani mal will ever after remain unsound, though lie may be rendered useful. From the al teration or disorganization of structure that takes place, there can be little done in the chronic stage except careful shoeing, which tin- smith should understand. THE BEST MANNER OF PLOWING WET GROUND. Since a farmer cannot be expected to drain iiis entire farm—especially when laborers are scarce as they are at the present time— it is very important to understand how wet soils may be managed with reference to winter plowing, iti order to be benefited to to a limited extent by fall plowing. This may be done by plowing* such fields in nar row lands, or hack furrows, which is prac ticed to a great extent iti many of the grain growing regions of this state. \\ hen a held is plowed in this manner it is very important that the ridges and dead furrows should run in sueii a direction that they Yvill carry off the water that settles into them. If the middle furrows run across the slope, for example, the shrplus water, instead of being carried away in them, will percolate from the furrow through the soil, and but little or no advantage will be prc i-rived from the plowing. But if the ridges run up and down the slope, and if the mid tile furrows be cleaned out, a great portion of the surplus water will be carried away, and the frost and rain will accomplish much inward thorough pulverization. Such fields should be plowed with the furrows running in such a direction as to carry off the water to the best advantage, whether the direction is diagonal to the sides ot the field, or parallel with them ; and if tiie mi< tile furrows run across shallow \ alleys, where the water will stand and p< ictdate across the ridges, a deep middle lin a. al vc should he cut acri iss the ridges and kept tipen, clean, by throwing oat all the loose earth with shovels, at least six inches below the surface of tlie subsoil. Labor bestowed in tins manner at any tine be tween December ami April will be well re munerated by a large increase in the amount of grain which will be produced on those fields. The main consideration in plowing sm h wet fields is to make the ridges not mole than twelve or sixteen feet apart ; to cut narrow furrow slices and deep furrows, and make deep and clean middle furroVVs that will cany off the water as fast as ii settles into them.—j t'oanlrg (leitUemaii. TW-BAKK roit J'OTATOKH.—A gardener at Troves, "having observed that evervhodv living in the quarter of the town occupied by tanners, escaped the cholera, determined to try the virtue of tan when planting po tatoes.

The first requirement of road manners is good nature and an accommodating spirit. Do to others as you would have them do to you. Always be willing to yield more than half the space, then you will he pretty sure to he equally treated. They who exact inches will have inches exacted of them. If your neighbor has a heavy load, consult his convenience as far as possible ; you may some time be loaded. It has become a practical rule of courtesy to turn out for wood and logs, and for other heavy teams in winter ; for theT say, " we often cannot turn out, and never safely : so if you want wood, accomodate us which we are very willing to do. But remember it was a fa vor —not your right ; and you have a re ciprocal duty to perform —one which, 1 am sorry to observe,is not always borne in mind. When you have unloaded, and are return ing empty, just recollect that you had the whole road.in the morning, and it is no more than fair that you should be particularly obliging to those whom yon meet now, and give them their full share of the path. One word in relation to teams going the same way, in which case many seem to think there is neither law nor manners.— \\ hen a team comes up behind you, which desires to proceed faster than you do, that team has a right to responsible space and opportunity to pass in—in fact i<> half the road for that purpose ; and your obstruc ting him in bis lawful desire is both bad manners and bad law. If your load is heavier, do the best you can. In most cases the very least that can be asked is that you should stop. This is particularly so in winter, when it is a heavy tax on any team to force into a trot in deep snow— made necessary by continuing at a walk. My remark above, in relation to the empty wood sled, applies here ; and if one wishes to pass you, remember that while loaded you had the whole road.— Exeli. A WASH FOR OUT-DOOR GRAPEVINES. Just at this time is the most critical pe riod of the out-door grapevine. As soon as the fruit buds begin to expand and before blooming, the dark green bug is pursuing its destructive depredations. It nearly de stroyed our crop of Concords and Dianas ' last season. When too late we applied with a sponge a wash prepared from whale oil soap, say about a quarter of a pound to a gallon of water. What remained of the bug instantly disappeared upon the appli cation of the wash. About a week ago, it made its iirst appearance for the season, when we at once applied the wash and dis lodge it. Those that fell to the ground were crushed, and those that remained on the vine died from the eff'eiis of the wash. We would recommend its use promptly, wherever this bug makes its appearance. Otherwise it soon inflicts serious damage upon the fruit buds, then deposits eggs, which the wash may not destroy, and by the time the leaf becomes expanded hun dreds of brown worms about an eight of an inch in length, from these eggs, are found preying upon the leaf, pretty much finish ing the remaining portion of tlie crop left by the bug. Of course the application should be repeated once or twice, as there may be occasion. We have found this wash effectual to ex pel the striped bug and other depredators from the melon vines. This soap can be purchased at the agri cultural stores, and at some of our best grocery stores. AH druggists ought to keep it on band.— (lermantown Telegraph. WORKING OXEN. ! have oiig iound that in all heavy farm- > ing operations, oxen are most useful, and am convinced every farmer with one hun dred acres oi land, could work one or two pair to great advantage ; for deep plowing i>.\< 11 will'draw greater weights ami are as <|iiiek as horses. In lighter operations the horse surpasses them in speed, but every improvement in agriculture now tends to deep, consequently slow, work, and until steam is adapted to drawing our imple ments, oxen will be most useful. They cost much less to keep, and improve daily in value ; they are easily broken in, maybe ; worked for a few months during a busy season of the year and then fed off. The application of steam to our thrashing ma chines, turnip and chad" cutters, and the railways lessening the distances at which many deliver their grain, has diminished the winter work of many farmers' horses. Ox en would, in these eases, prove very bene-; fieia! in summer. I know one large occu pier who commonly buys every spring four . or six pairs of oxen, uses thein until all the turnips are sown and cleaned, and then feeds tlu-ni off in his stalls ; and by this course lias his work done at two-thirds less cost than by keeping a large number of horses, As a practical farmer, I should be very sorry to be without some oxen as auxiliaries to my horse teams.—E. IU. 117/- niott, itiJhe London Hardener (throne tie. To KEEI" TIRES ox WHEELS. —IIear what a practical man says on this subject : " I ironed a wagon some years ago, for my own use, and before putting on the tires 1 filled the fellies with linseed oil; and the tires have worn out and were never loose. I ironed a buggy for my own use seven years ago, and the tires are now as tight as when put on. My method of filling the felloes with oil as follows : I use a large cast-iron : oil heater, made for the purpose ; the oil is brought to a boiling beat, the wheel is placed on a stick, so as to bang in the oil, each felhe an hour, for a common sized fel lcie. The timber should be dry, as green timber will not take oil. (.'are should be taken that the oil be not made hotter than boiling heat, in order that the timber be not burnt Timber filled with oil is not sus ceptible to water, and the timber is much more durable. I was amused some years ago, when I told a blacksmith how to keep the tires tight on wheels, by his telling un it was a profitable business to tighten tires, and the wagon maker will make and repair wheels—but what will the farmer, who sup ports tin- wheelwright and smith, say ?" I'm MM; IN Atrnix.—Pruning in autumn answers well where the severity of winters is not great. It won! ibe safer perhaps to leave the entire work til! spring, as all trees are made somewhat tenderer by cutting the branches. Should a mild winter follow, probably no bad effect would result, but a severe one might do material injury. Bear in mind that no pruning, unless for check ing growth should be performed after the buds have begun to swell in spring, and • specially after growth Iris commenced. POTATO CAKES. —Take two pounds of very mealy boiled potatoes, niasli them very fine with a lit tie salt, mix them with t wo pounds of flour, add milk enough to make this into dough, beating it up with a spoon, and put in a little yeast. * Set it before the fire to rise, and when it has risen divide it into cakes the siz.e of a muffin, and bake them.
