Hog1 Cholera.
IcKEsnuiia, Perry county, Pa.,
August 10, 1870.
Editor'of The Times: Sir The dis
ease popularly known as " Hog Cholera,"
has proved fatal to a number of swine iu
this vicinity, and is still prevalcut. The
farmers of this neighborhood have, as
yet, been unable to find a cure for the
malady. It is believed that very little is
known of the nature of the disease ; and
so long as this is the case, it can only bo
by chance that a remedy for it can be
found.
"Would it hot bo well for those who may
have affected swine, to observe closely the
symptoms and post-mortem appearances,
with a view to an interchange of observa
tions, experiments and opiuious, through
the medium of our county papers ?
In this way it might be determined,
what peculiar disease, or form of disease
is meant by " Hog Cholera," which is
certainly a misnomer, as applied to many,
if not all cases of virulent disease in
Kwiue.
As the " rest of mankind," as well as
pork raisers, are interested in the price of
pork, anything that tends to arrest the
ravages of disease among swine, should
be of general interest.
The custom of using as medicines,
things which may affect the system we
know not how, to cure a disease we know
not what, manifests loss good sense than
good intention ; and has been tried long
enough for the benefit (?) of animals.
As " A righteous man regardeth the
life of his beast," and a wicked man cares
for its value in money, there is suflicicnt
reason for an intelligent attempt to under
stand the hog disease, and prescribe
treatment accordingly. N. 0. Sus.
For The Bloomfield Times.
; A Lesson to Poor Fanners.
Mr. Editor : Sir As a general rule,
poor farmers are those who farm poor
lands, but I know that the poorest land
can be made to produce 30 bushels of
wheat, 50 bushels of corn, or oats
M the acre if properly fertilized.
How is the poor farmer to obtain fertili
zers ? I may bo asked. We arc poor,
we can afford to keep but few cattle.
Guano, Phosphate, Bones, Iimc, &c, arc
beyond our means.
To this question I reply with Horace
Greeley, " No man ever lacked fertilizers
who kept his eyes wide open and devotes
time to collecting them. Wherever
swamp muck may be had, wherever hogs
exist, or flags grow, there are materials
which carted into the bavn-yard in the
Fall or Winter", may be drawn out good
iertilizers in time for the Spring crops of
corn, oats or potatoes.
Wherever a pond or slough dries up
in Summer, or Autumn, there is material
that may be profitably transformed into
next year's grass or grain. In the ab
sence of all these and they are seldom
very far from one who knows how to look
for them rank weeds of all sorts, if cut
while green and tender, or forest leaves
gathered in the Fall, used for litter in the
stable, and thence thrown into the yard,
will serve an excellent purpose.
I know also that the farmer who lacks
these, has access to a bed of simple clay,
may cart 200 loads of it iu November
into an ordinary barn-yard, keep it dry,
und use a little daily for litter and thus,
during a winter get it converted into an
excellent fertilizer.
Dr. Ueorare li. uarincr, the most suc
cessful farmer in Massachusetts, uses
raked beach sand in abundance, as litter
for his 80 cows, mixes it with his manure
through the Winter, and draws out the
compound with satisfactory results.
Poor farmers, think of these things
make your land rich and then it will
make you rich. Never farm another acre
of j)oor land, for it will not pay.
, , ' A Small Farmer.
JJQ7 Red ants may bo destroyed by
taking a white china plate, and spreading
a ttin covering ot common lard over it,
and place it on the floor or shelf infested
by the troublesome insects. You will be
pleased at the result. Stirring them up
every morning is all that is necessary to
set the trap again.
I "II Plowing.
Where you ar; now harvesting a crop
of iwheat, and intend to sow fall grain
again, do not leave the land uutil you are
toady to sow beforo you plow. There arc
several reasons why you should plow it
immediately after the grain is taken off
two of them should be an incentive to
you not to neglect this very important
matter: If plowed at once; there is gen
erally no trouble of getting it completed
before heavy rains interfere, as they often
do, to prcventcarly seeding; when, it the
grain was only to be sown and. harrowed
in, there would be no trouble to get it in.
But the most important consideration
and argument in favor of plowing early
is, that the numerous weeds that were
not high enough to cut down, if your
plowing is done early, will all bo turned
under and destroyed. If left a month
longer, they will have ripened their seed
and will cover your wheat field the cum
in y; season.
Any experienced Pastor will bear
witness that the spiritual strength of his
Church and not unfrcquently the finan
cial strength too depends upon the
women. They are generally the most
earnest, the most devoted, the most ready
and willinj' to work.

THE KIDNEYS.
THE Kidneys ire two In number, ultunted nt
the upper part of tho loin, surrounded bv
fat, mid consisting of three parts, viz x the An
terior, the Interior and the Exterior.
The Anterior absorbs. Interior consists of
tissues or veins, which serve as a deposit for
tho uiino and convey it to tho Exterior. Tho
F.xterlor is a conductor niso, terminating in a
single tube, and called the Ureter. The Ureters
are connected with the bladder.
The bladder Is composed of various cover
ings or tissues, divided into lmrta, viz. i the
Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous.
The upper expels, the lower retains. Many
haven desire to urinate without tho ability;
others urinate without the ability to retain.
This frequently occurs in children.
To cure these affections, wc must bring into
action the muscles, -which nrc engaged In their
various functions. If they arc neglected, Gravel
or Dropsy may ensue.
The render must also be made aware, that
however slight may lie the attack, it is sure to
atl'ect the bodily health and mental powers. a
our flesh and blood are supported . from these
sources.
Goi-t, on RnnrMATisjr. Pain occurring in
the loins are indicative of the above diseases.
They occur in persons disposed to acid slomnch
and chalky concretions.
The Git.vvET,. The gravel ensues from ncg- -lect
or improper treatment of the kidneys.
These organs being weak, the water is not ex
pelled from the bladder, but allowed to remain ;
it becomes feverish, and sediment forms. It Is
from this deposit that tlie stone is formed aud
gravel ensues.
Duopsy is a collection of water in some parts
of the body, and bears different names, accord
ing to the parts affected, viz. : when general
ly diffused over the body, it is called Anasarca ;
when of the nbdomen, Ascites j when of thu
chest, llydrothorax.
Treatment. ITelnihold's highly conccntra
cd compound Extract Buehu is decidedly otic
of tlie best remedies for diseases of the blad
der, kidneys, bladder, dropsical swellings,
rheumatism and gouty affections. Under thist
head wc have arranged Dysurla, or difficulty
and pain in passing water, Scanty Secretion, or
small nnd frequent discharges of water ; Stran
gury, or stopping of water ; Hematuria, or
bloody urine j Gout and Rheumatism of tho
kidneys, without any change In quantity, but
increase in color, or dark water. It was al
ways highly recommend by the late Dr. Phys
ick, in these aU'eetious.
This medicine increases the power cf diges
tion, end excites the nbBorbents Into healthy
exercise by which the watery or calcareoitB de
positions, and nil unnatural enlargements, as
w.ell as pain and in.tlnmation, arc reduced, and
it h taken by men, womeu, and children. Di
rections for use and diet accompany.

II. T. C eXmbold, Druggist :
Deau .8ns I have been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder, and kid-
nev a lections, during wnicn lime l nave -used
various medicinal preparations, and been under
the treatment of the most emiueut Physicians,
experiencimr but little relict.
Having scei.' your preparations extensively
advertised, 1 cf.-n.suitcu wnn my lamny pnyst
cian In regard to using your Extract Buchu.
I did this because I had used all kinds of ad
vcrtiscd remedies, and had found them worth
less, aud. some out' to injurious ; in fact, I de
spaircd of cvcrgett.'nc well, and determined lo
use no remedies liertancr unless i Knew oi the
ingredients. It was this that prompted me to
use your remedy. As you advertised that it
was composed of bueln., cubebs, and juniper
berries, It occurred to nit' n.nci my pnysician as
an excellent combination, n nd, with his advice,
alter an examination ot the article, and con
suiting again with tlie druggist, I concluded to
try it. I commenced its use a bout eight months
ago, nt which tunc 1 wns conlMK-a to my room
From the llit bottle I was usto.'iishcd and grat
ified at the beneficial effect, and after using it
three weeks, was able to w alk oux. 1 leu inueli
liko writing you a full statement ot my case at
the tune, but thought niv improvement might
only be temporary, and therefore concluded to-
deter and see It it would cih-ct a perfect cure,
knowing then it would be of more valuotoyoia,
and more satisfactory to me.
I am now able to report that a cure is c.tfoct-
cd alter iisiiii; the remedy tor live mouths.
I have not used any now for threo monfjis,
and lccl bb well iu nil respects as I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any nViplcasam'
taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigorator of.
the system, I do not mean to be without it
whenever occasion may require Its uso in such
u Meet ions.
