When first the rose, in robe of green, Unfolds its crimson lining, And 'round his cottage porch is seen The honeysuckle twining, When banks of bloom their sweetness yield, To bees that gather honey, He drives across the field, Where skies are soft and sunny. The blackbird clucks behind the plow, The quail pipes loud and clearly, Yon orchard hides behind its bough The home he loves so dearly ; The gray old barn, whose doors enfold His ample store in measure, More rich than heaps of hoarded gold, A precious, blessed treasure ; But yonder in his porch there stands His wife, the lovely charmer, The sweetest rose on all his lands ; The Independent Farmer. To him the spring comes dancing gay, To him the summer blushes, The autumn smiles with yellow ray, His sleep old winter hushes ; He cares not how the world may move, No doubts or fears confound him, His little flock are linked in love, And household angels 'round him ; He trusts in God, and loves his wife, Nor grief nor ill may harm her ; He's nature's nobleman in life— The Independent Fanner. The Cattle Plague of the Old World- While the dreaded cholera is making its way steadily and relentlessly from its Ori ental home to the countries of the West, another pestilence, apparently one of the : plagues of Ancient Egypt, " the murrain of j cattle," is preceding it, apparentlyjto "pre-; pare the way and make the paths straight." A year ago it was in Egypt, aud 1,700,000 cattle perished from the herds ot that couu- : try. Passing round the Mediterranean, it i made its way northward into Russia and : the countries on the Danube. Poland, Sile sia, Gallicia, Hungary, Austria. Bohemia and Moravia were visited and depopulated of their cattle with astonishing rapidity.— In the eagerness to avoid a total loss the j owners of neat stock sold a large number ! of their animals to be transported to Ham-! burgh, and thence to England WHAT IS THE CATTLE PLAGUE ? The English dairymen name the new ep idemic the " Russian murrain," because its first appearance in Europe was noticed in the autocrat's dominions, and it was con veyed thence to Great Britain. Like the Russian plague, which so alarmed Western Europe a few months since, it is a species | of typhus of very malignant character.— j One writer declares that it is the well I known Rinderpest of the continent." A j correspondent of the London Times, vvri ting from Vienna under date of Aug. 7th, says that is called the Lungenseche or pul monary disease, and discourses concerning ; it as follows : " The first symptoms of pneumonia peco- j rum ejnzootica typhosa are dolefuluess and feebleness, with difficulty in breathing.— ; The animals stand with their heads hang ing down ; their ears pendulous, their eyes j fixed. The inner skin of the nose is pale, I the inner part of the mouth slimy ; the body, horns, ears and legs are cool, the skin is dry, and the hair rough and bristly. The first stage of the malady, during which there is little or no fever, lasts from a fort night to three weeks. The symptoms dur ring the second stage are feverish move ments, violent shiveriugs and exacerbation towards the evening ; increased difficulty in breathiug, with a dry, hollow, spasmodic cough. In very many cases there is no cough during the first stage of the malady. ' The appetite is generally good, though the j animals ruminate but little. The cow gives ! as much milk as usual, but it is thin and of | a bluish color. As the malady progresses the animals get very weak and faint; sometimes the extremities are hot, some times they are cokl ; the hair on the back and withers stands on end ; the eyes are red and wide open, the neck and head are stretched out, the execretious are partially suppressed. The second stage, during which there is still a chance that the ani mal may be saved, lasts four or five days. The third stage during which the fever as sumes a putrid character, need not be de scribed, as it invariably ends with death. HISTORY OF THE CATTLE PLAGUE. Such murrains have occurred over and over again in Europe, and an infectious dis temper is supposed to prevail permanently among the vast herds which are pastured iu Siberia and on the steepes of Asia. It depopulated the pasturages of the conti nent iu the time of Theodosius ; it followed Charlemagne back from Denmark, and made havoc of the French herds ; it scourged Europe in the years 817, in 1224, and again iu 1625. The worst instances of all, how ever, occurred from 1710 to 1717. On that occasion the steppe-murrain passed byway of Tartary, Russia, and Poland, all over the West ; aud in the first three years 1,500,- 000 oxen perished. In 1745 it prevailed in Zealand ; in 1770 Holland lost in one year 375,441 of her horned cattle ; and in 1794 it followed Na poleon into Italy, and Piedmont alone paid for his march with 3,500,000 head. Faust, in the Feuille du Cultivate itr, estimates the loss to France and Belgium, between 1713 and 1796, at the enormous total of 10,000,- 000 animals. In 1806, when the Cossacks of the Don mustered on the Vistula, their bullocks brought the pestilence again, and ' Schwarzenberg's invasion of France, at the head of the allied forces, in 1813, imported it. Wherever, indeed, war has broken down the barriers of sanitary measures,the plague, if existing iu the East, has forced its way ; and iu the Crimean campaign it thus penetrated to the cattle pens of the French and English armies. It is related that in 1745 the same pesti lence crossed the sea in a parcel of distem pered hides from Zealand, which were for bidden a sale there, and should have been buried ; but a covetous knave sold thcitf for leather, and the plague struck the cat tle and spread from Essex all over the kingdom. On that occasion it raged for twelve whole years, but not till the third year did the government take up the mat ter so seriously as to order that every in fected animal should be instantly destroyed and in this way alone 80,000 head were killed and paid for, while at least 160,000 died of the malady. In 1747, 40,000 perished in Nottingham shire and Leicestershire, and 30,000 iu Che shire within six months. Delafonde com putes the loss of stock by that visitation in Europe at 3,000,000. EXTENT OF THE I'RESE.N'T EPIDEMIC. Last, year this disease.* was raging at the same time; in Europe, at the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. In Victoria, where it was very bad, the government took whole sale measures and killed the diseased ani mals right and left, iu add i - ion to stringent precautions. Still the disease spread. In South Aus tralia the government, directly they heard the disease was in a neighboring colony, took prompt measures to stop all cattle crossing the Victorian borders. Still, like the cholera, the disease advanced, aud in a few weeks penetrated hundreds of miles into the heart of the colony. A letter irom Alexandria says that : " The cattle distemper raged in the coun try the last year. In the course of a lew months there died in Egypt 800,000 oxen, and as many sheep, goats, catnels, &c.— Three fourths of these animals were thrown into the Nile whose water is here the only drink ; for, with the exception of the Foun i tain of Moses, there is not a single spring iin Egypt In the month of October last the j dogs of Damietta could cross the Nile with j out wetting their paws, over a bridge forru |cd by the corpses of cattle. Agents of the Isthmus Suez Company have assured me that they found it impossible to prevent the fellahs from choking their fresh water canal with dead animals. The Egyptian Government not having itself taken any measures in this respect, their authority was paralyzed, and the fellahs preferred occasionally receiving a few blows to dig ging a bole for the burial of animals that died of disease." ITS INTRODUCTION' INTO ENGLAND. A correspondent of the London Times, writing from Vienna, says that about the beginning of May a great many oxen were purchased in Moravia, Bohemia and Silesia and sent by rail to Hamburgh. When the oxen were bought, the sellers were told they were for the London market. Th murrain had not long been prevalent in Austria, and therefore it was not unlikely that the above mentioned cattle introduced the malady into England. The symptoms j of the malady which the correspondent de | scribes appear to be slightly different from ! the disease which has broken out in Eng- I land. The disease has been very bad in the vicinity of Maidenhead, and a meeting was held whereat it was determined topre | sent petitions on the subject to the Privy I Council and Lord Palmerston. The loss of the London dairymen has been estimated iat $150,000. Two thousand cows perished iu a single month. Arthur Helps, clerk of the Privy Council, thus describes the mat ter : " There has lately appeared iu some of I the dairies in and near London a disease i among the cattle closely analogous to, if i not the same, as that which has of late ' years prevailed exteusively in Russia, Aus -1 tria, and the eastern parts of Europe, call ed the cattle plague, being a species of ty phoid fever. The loss of animals caused by it in those countries has been very se rious. Returns have been furnished to this office by which it appears that in 1864, ; 159,476 cattle were attacked by this dis | in Russia, out of which 104,714 died. It is of the first importance that all farmers, i cowkeepers, or dealers in cattle, when pur | chasing new stock should for several days, not less than twelve or fourteen, keep their cattle apart from the rest of their stock, until, in fact, there is room to think that j the new purchases are free from this dis t ease. If a farmer, cowkeeper or salesman { should be desirous to get rid of any ani mals suffering from the disease in question, j or any which may have been in close con tact with animals suffering from that dis | ease, it should be impressed upon him as a i public duty, that at the present juncture he ! should not send them to markets or other places they would be brought into contact with other animals, but should cause them to be slaughtered at ouce, and thus do what he can to prevent the spreading of the disease. Particular attention should be paid to the cleansing of all yards, sheds, and other places were cattle are kept ; and this cleansing should be especcially insist ed upon where there has been any manifes tation of this disease. These places should i be disinfected by the free use of chloride of | lime, or allied compounds. It is also of ; great importance that all diseased animals | should be as quickly as possible removed to as great a distance from the healthy as circumstances will allow."— The Country Gentleman. • Farmers' Tools. j A certain number of tools and some skill in their use, will often save th same room, on the opposite side, and the ! same precautions taken to keep every one ' in its place.— Tucker's Rural Affairs. i r Regularity in Feeding -1 ■ 3 Every good farmer knows that any do- J mestic animal is a good clock—that it i knows, almost to a minute, when the regu -3 lar feeding time has arrived. If it has 1 been accustomed to be fed with accuracy t at the appointed period, it will not fret till . that period arrives ; after which it becomes very restless and uneasy until its food . comes. If it has been fed irregularly, it . will begin to fret when the earliest period . arrives. Hence, this fretting may be en ! tirely avoided, by strict punctuality ; but ! it cannot be otherwise. The very moment . | the animal begins to worry, that moment it 3 begins to lose flesh ; but the rate of this c loss lias never been ascertained—it is cer i tainly worthy an investigation—and can . only be determined by trying the two modes . punctuality and irregularity, side by side, j under similar circumstances, and with the ; same amount of food, for some weeks or ) montfiß together. There is one precaution to be observed in - connection with regular feeding, where - some judgment is needed. Animals eat • more in sharp or frosty, than in warm and i damp weather. Ileuoe, if the same amount by weight is given at every feeding, they will not have enough when the weather is cold, and will be surfeited when it is warm and damp. Both of these evils must be avoided, while a little attention and obser vation will enable the farmer to do it.— I lucker's Rural Affairs. (Slotting. NEWS. REBELLION ENDED I THE F. 1 ■.
