('olio in Horses. Prevention is better than cure. Colic Inay be prevented by caro in feeding. When succulent green fodder is used, such as tho blades and tops of the green corn, colic is common. It is causod by the production of gas in the stomach and intestines from tho fermentation of tho food, or by permitting the horse to drink too freely of cold water whon tired and exhausted by work. Feed sparingly of succulent food until tho animal has be come accustomed to its use. Water often and give little at a time, and never cither immediately before or after a feed. If the horse has been permitted to be come very thirsty, give no more than half a pailful at a time ; letting li fleet) min utes elapse between the drinks, ur.til he is satisfied. If notwithstanding all care he is troubled still with colic, givo him two ounces ' sweet spirits of nitre and one ounce tincturo of opium in half a pint of water. If necessary repeat in half an hour, adding one ounce tincture of aloes. Any spirituos medicine should be carefully administered. If no iiifiatiiu tion be present a pint of rum with half ounco of pure ginger might afford relief. Fall Treatment of Clay Lands. A clay soil under a proper modo of treatment is our most productive soil. What is called an agricultural cluy, that is, clay with twenty-live per cent of sand In intimate mixture with it, is the best and most lasting soil for grain and especi ally grass. But while a light loam is comparatively safo from injury, a clay soil can be measurably ruined by improper treatment. And tho greatest danger is to bo apprehended from plowing too wet. Tho working of clay in a moist condition will bring it into a state of tenacious con sistency that frost can not overcome, and many years of tillage will be required ' Jo reduce. In the mean time its value is lessened and its fertility impaired.' Drain ing such soil is necessary for their proper cultivation; inrsmuch as it oftu becomes cither necessary or desirable to work them beforo they can naturally get rid of an exoessive amount of moisture. Fann ers can not bo too watchful of cluy lands at this season of the year, lent one unsens onnble plowing should cause a serious iu jury. Here is seen' tho advantage of draining. While one farmer is enublcd to keep his men and teams at work i and seize a favorable opportunity for forward ing his operations, his neighbor,' having an undrained farm, is compelled to lie idlo and loses 1oth' time and floney. The capital invested in drains returns interest in other ways than by increased crops.' ' Voracity In Horses. .'V .!. 1 1 1 : ), , A subscriber to the Hearth and Hum, who has a horse thin in flesh, but with an enormous appetite, which prompts him to cat litter, asks what to do about it. This inordinate appetite is a symptom of dis ease in the digestive organs, or of the presence of worms. ' If no worms have boen observed, the first may be supposed to bo tho cause. A simple remedy is to feed to the horse a handful of wood-ashes, ono ounce of sulphur,' an ounce of com mon salt, mixed in his feed every other day. If worms are troubling the ' horse, give the following: ono dram sulphate of iron, powdered, one ouui-o of flaxseed , meal, and the same of sugar. Give this for one dose in a bran-mash at night and repeat in forty-eight hours. The Hex of Kgfrs and Plants. ' ; A'eofrespondent of tbellurah'nt gives the following rule for determining the sex of plants andv oggs: . .. " Now permit mo to say' I cun instant ly or on, aj general principle, dutcrmino tlio sex or eggs uud other things. In walking through: your garden please notice the acute pointed buds and obtuse ones on your cherry and other fruit, and and when. the season of efflorescence oc cur,' In every instance the obtuse form produces the flowor, and tho others the leaf. So with the strawberry , vine, the roundish form of leaf is . producing,, and ho with eggs, in evury'instuiito the round ish form produces tho female, und the long eggs are invariably males." How to Wash. Hlunkels. For two or three blankets take one pint of soft soup and two tublcspoonfuls of borax ; dissolve them in boiling wa ter add the solution to a tub half-filled with cold water, und largo enough to con tain the blankets. I'ut in the blankets nml let them stand from twelve to tweuty four hours.entirely covered by the solution. Then squeeze uud rub thoroughly, but do nor icriiiif (hnie. Put them in a basket over another tub to drain, rinse iu clean cold wuter, and drain again. Put in a little bluing for a final rinse, then drain and bang out to dry. lte sure to use cold water, and not to wring during the pro cess'; then the blankets will not shriuk, but will dry white and smooth. . , Philadelphia Advertisements.
