Qnlck and Easj Cure .for Founder.
Clean out the bottom of the hoot' thor
oughly hold up the leg so us to bring
the bottom of the hoof, upward, holding
it firmly in a horizontal position, and
pour in, say one tablespoon ful of spirits
of turpentine, if tiiev cavity of the hoof
will hold that much if not, pour in
what it will hold without danger of run
ning over; touch the tuispentine with a
red-hot iron, (that will set it on fire) ;
hold the hoof firmly in position until it
burns out. Great care must bo taken
that none runs over on the hair or the
hoof, lest the akin be burned. If all the
ibet are effected, burn turpentine in each
of them, tllelief - will speedily follow,
and. the animal will be ready lor service
in :v short .time.
T.lie editor of the Allen "Watchman
eays ilie had a founderpd horse treated in
the manner above stated, one afternoon,
. and proceeded on a journey with the ani
mal next morning, without any apparent
difficulty of movement. The reader will
do well to cut out aud preserve this re
cipe. '
To Peel reaches.
The following is an excellent plan to
save trouble as well us considerable of
of the best part of the peach, which is
usually 4-Vikowu away when a knife is
used in peeling them : Make lye as strong
as possible of wood ashes aiid soft water.
Till a kettle with the lye, and when boil
ing rapidly drop eighteen or twenty peach
es, and take out again almost immediate
ly, aud immerse them in a pail of cold
water. Take one in your hand, and the
rind will slip off entirely, leaving a round,
beautiful yellow ball ; throw it iiumcdi
; ately into another pail of pure water, and
. so proceed until all are done. This pro
, cess will not injure the flavor of the
finest peach, and once tried, the old-fashioned
way of peeling with the knife will
not be adopted. Jf the lye is not strong
enough, put into the kettle two dipper
fulls of clean wood ashes. This is a splen
did way to rid small onions of their
jackets, preparatory to pickling them, al
so Cor peeling tomatoes.
Apple Tree Borer.
This pest of our orchards lays its eggs
in the mouths of Juno and July, depos
iting them iu the bark near or just below
the surface of the soil. These eggs soon
hatch, and tho grub immediately com
mences eating its way into the trees
pushing its cuttings out of the hole and
by this sign we may readily detect its
presence. At this time the borers are
very easily destroyed with a wire, or a
sharp-pointed knife, but allow them to
penetrate the wood several inches and it
becomes quite difficult to reach them.
As these borers live two or thrco years,
eating continually and penetrating the
tree lather a'nd farther each season, it
must be apparent to every one that they
should bo destroyed belbre they have
done much damage.
Choked Cattle.
A Pennsylvania correspondent of tho
Country Gentleman says, with regard to
choked cattle, that he once killed a valu
able Devon ox by trying to punch an ap
ple down its throat with a whipstock,
rupturing the 'pipe by the operation, lie
suggests 'a better method as follows :
"Put a rope around tho horns and
draw the head up to a tree or some suita
ble high place; hold the mouth open, fill
it with water from a suitable vessel, close
immediately the mouth and nostrils, and
.hold firmly till the animal struggles ; then
take the hands suddenly from the nose
and mouth, and the concussion of air will
move the object."
Foot Rot.
II. J. Selmers, veterinary surgeon,
pises, iu the Western Jiural, this recipe
for curing foot-rot in cattle, which he
says will never fail :
" At first, all tho loose horn in gener
al, every thing that has been destroyed
should be cut away ; then for a day or
two, poultices of flaxseed powder should
be applied, and after that, when the sore
is clean and of a white appearance, one
part of pure carbolic acid dissolved iu
one part of alcohol, and one part of wa
ter, applied once or twice, by means of a
little hnwb, will effect a healing iu a sw
days."
Coal Oil Lamps.
Fill your lamps by daylight, and keep
them well cleaned. Never burn a lamp
when it isi Jess than ono half lull of oil.
Never fill a lamp near the fire. Turn the
wiuk doww low before trying to blow the
light out. Keep your oil iu a cool place.
Coal oil if. explosive when heated. Don't
let your children tneddlo with the oil or
lamp. If you want to blow yourself up,
pour a little out of your can on the fire
to start it.
Cooking Rice.
Rice may be cooked so that every grain
will be as separate as when dry, by steam
ing. Put in as much water or milk as
you would use to boil it, and set the dish
in the steamer.' It will take longer to
cook than in the ordinary way, but never
btinik or sticks, and is a beautiful dish
when done.
Z&" To keep a boquct fresh, let drop
a table spoonful of powdered charcoal in
to the water intended for the flower sulks,
and they will keep their freshness and
perfume for several days, and look and
smell the same as those just gathered.
Tho charcoal settles at the bottom of the
vase the water remain inj clear.

THE KIDNEYS.
rplIK Kidneys ire two in nnmbcr, nitunted at
1 the tipper put t of the loin, surrounded by
fat, und consisting of three parts, vl i the An
terior, the Interior and the Exterior.
The Anterior ubsorbs. Interior consists of
tissues or veins, which eerve ns a deposit for
the mine and convey it to the Exterior. Th
Exterior is u conductor nlso, terminating in a
single tube, and called the Ureter. The Ureters
ore connected with the bladder.
The bladder js composed of various cover
ings or tissues, divided into rants, viz. i the
Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous.
The upper expels, tho lowr retains. Many
have a desire to urinate -without the obllityj
others urinate without the ability to rctuin.
Tills frequently occurs In children.
To cure these atlections, we must bring Into
action the muscles, which are engaged in their
various functions. If they are neglected, Gravel
or Drops-y maj ensue.
The reader must nlso be ninde aware, that
however slight may be the attack, it is sure to
nllcet the bodily health and mental j.oweis, as
our Ilcsh and blood are supported from these
sources.
Gout, on Riiki matism. Pain occurring in
the loins arc iudicntive of the above diseases.
They occur in persons disposed to acid stomach
und cluilkv concretions.
Tim Ghavfi,. The gravel ensues from neg
lect or improper trcatmeut of the kidneys.
These organs being weak, the water is not ex
pelled from the bladder, but nllowcd to remain $
it becomes Icveiisli, und sediment tonus, it is
Irom this deposit that the stone is lormcd and
gravel ensues.
Ditorsy Is a collection of water in some ports
of the body, and bears different names, accord
ing to the parts ntlcctcd, viz.: when general
ly ditlused over the body, it is called Anasarca ;
when ol the abdomen, Ascites; when ol the
chest, llydrothorax.
TitEATMEST. ITeliiibold's highly, concentra
cd compound Ext nut Btichu is decidedly one
of the best remedies for diseases ol the blad,
der, kidneys, bladder, dropsical swellings,
rheumatism and gouty aflcctious. Under this
head we have arranged Dvsuria, or difficulty
and pain in passing water, Scanty Secretion, or
small and frequent discharges ot water ; stran
gury, or stopping of water ; Hematuria, or
bloody urine i Gout and Rheumatism of tho
kidneys, w ithout any change iu quantity, but
increase in color, or dark water. It was al
ways highly recommend by the late Dr. Phys
ic!;, in these allcctions.
This medicine increases the power of diges
tion, end rxcitcs the absorbents into healthy
exercise by which the watery or calcareous de
positions, and all unnatural enlargements, as
well as pain and inllanuition, arc reduced, and
It is taken by men, women, and children. Di
rections for use and diet accompany.

II. T. IIelmtiold, Druggist !
Dkah Sin I have been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder, and kid
ney allcctions, during which time I have used
various medicinal preparations, and been under
the treatment, of the most eminent Physicinus,
experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
ndveitiscd, I consulted with my family physi
cian in regard to using your Extract Buchu.
I did this because 1 had used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found tlicni worth
less, and, some quite injurious ; in fact, I de
spaired of ever getting well, and determined to
use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of tho
ingredients. It was this that prom) ted me to
use your remedy. As you advertised that it
was composed of buchu, eubebs, and juniper
berries, it occurred to mo und my physician ns
an excellent combination, and, with his advice,
after tin examination of the article, and con
sulting again with the druggist, I concluded to
try it. I commenced its use about eight mouths
ago, at which time I was confined to my room.
From the liivt bottle I was astonished und grut
illcd at the beneficial effect, and after using it
three weeks, was able to walk out. I felt much
like writing you a lull statement of my cuse at
the time, but thought my improvement might
only be temporal', and therefore conelnded to
defer and see if it would effect a perfect cure,
know ing I hen it would be of more value to you,
and inoro satisfactory to me.
I am now uble to report that a curcMs effect
ed after using the remedy for five months.
I have not used any now for three months,
nnd feel as well in ufl respects as I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor, a nice tonic und Invignrutor of
the system, I do not mean to be w ithout it
whenever occasion may require its use in such
affections.
