FARM AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
W. invito oomnimHrnHnn. from all pernoiiii who nre
tiiteritd iu matter properly belonging totbUdu
p&rtmuut. Herding Cattle in Jicw Mexico.
This has its brlfiht ns well ns its dark
sido. Tlio changes that each and every
day bring forth nro many and various.
Quiotly watching the herd as they feed
along the margin of a beautiful stream,
separated into little social groups (for they
seom to form attachments almost human,)
one will notice that certain of the herd al
ways band together, and whilo somo are
nervously walking about, nipping here and
thore a bunch of grass, a bush, or pulling
off with a jerk a twig from the hanging
branches of the wido-sprcading trecB,
others are quiotly grazing with that steady
dip, clip, and swinging motion of the head
peculiar to the bovine family ; others lying
listlessly in the shade chewing their cuds of
oomfort ; while many of them are standing
up to their knees in water, cooling their
fovcrcd and fly bitten hocks. Iu fact the
whole herd are enjoying a bovine's para
dise. At such times as this the herder's
lime hangs heavily on his hands ; his pony,
(or boroncos, small Mexican horses,) is
slowly dragging his lariat after him as lie
'feeds from place to place, while the saddle
and other traps are piled up or spread out
round the camp, and the herders are pass
ing their time playing cards at so much a
corner.
With a herd of cattle numbering five
thousand, there will be Ave or six meu and
an overseer. The duties of these men are
light while there is grass near the streams.
Hut the scene changes as the season ad
vances, and day by day the distance be
comes greater from the grass to the water,
and the trouble of herding commences.
The cattle are Inclined to separate and
stray away, and it requires all the time as
well as tact and skill of the experienced
hand to keep them within bounds. Even
then there will be some of them that will
get lost ; but the "round up", which takes
place once in about three months tells the
number missing and the number aoquired
from the neighboring ranchmen. The dif
ferent owners of cattle, when they wish to
"round up," will send word to the differ
out home stations, and delegates from each
will attend and assist in cutting out the es
trays. The different delegations tlion take
charge of the squad belonging to them re
spectively. These men Borne times travel
fifty or sixty miles to reach the rendez
vous ; and there will be from twenty-five to
a hundred men assembled to the grand
"roundup," which takes place once a
yoar. Rural iVsw Yorker.
Sending Lire-Stock to England.
It appears by a paragraph which we note
in an English paper, that some attention is
being given to the question whether live
stock could not be profitably imported from
America to Great Britain, and . thus aid
that country in solving her great and grow
ing question the food supply. In order
to test the feasibility of this idea, it is said
a Mr. Bell bargained with the Anchor Line
to bring with him each trip twenty-four
head of cattle, and that every importation
was a success. The cost, including freight,
. feed and insurance, is said to have been
about $70 per head, and it is said that he
made a clear profit of 50 on each animal.
They are talking, in view of these success
es, of making steamers with an especial
view to accommodate cattle, and with these
cattle-steamers they expect to do a very
profitable trade.
It is hardly likely that this will ever
ripen to a permanent business. Cattle are
rather high in Europe just now in conse
quence of the great losses by the pleuro
pneumonia aud other diseases ; and it is
porhaps this high price made so by acci
dental causes, which has made these ex
periments a success. Still men are not
apt to invest money in steamboat enter
prises, which will require years to bring
back, without studying the ground pretty
well ; aud it may be that the time will
oouie when the cattle-trade across the At
lautio will be as profitable an undertaking
as the passenger tiafllo in many cases has
proved to be.
Salt for Pear Tree.
The Horticulturist says i " Last year we
introduced the topio of salting around peat
trees to prevent the blight. We learn on a
recent visit to Central New York, that the
(iracMce is becoming general, and regular
applications yearly of 400 to 000 pouuds
per acre, are now the oustom."
fjJT Never plow or harrow soil when it is
too wet. This advice is partioulaily ap
plicable to stiff clay soils, or to light soils
over a heavy clay subsoil. Any stirring of
the soil when too wet has a tendency to
the same effect as is produced in brick
soaking, and makes the soil dry oil in hard
clods, on which the harrow will produce
hut little eQ'.iot. It will pay bettor to wait
for. the ground to dry off.

Fever & Ague Powders
FOR TUB
PERMANENT CURE OF CHILL8 AND FE
VER, DUMB AGUE, OR ANY FORM
OF INTERMITTENT FEVER!
The Greatest Discovery of the Age I
TMIERE are no diseases so debilitating in
. their elTects upon tho constitution as the
above, and none more dilllcult to cure by the
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect a cure in cases of the loug
est standing, as well as prove a preventive la
the formlug stages of disease. Being purely
Vegetable, tbey act with certainty on the dis
ease, totally eradicating it from tho system,
and preventing a return at any future period.
Why waste your mouey und health in trying
every medicine you hear of, when Thompson's
Fevor and Ague Powders have never fulled to
cure the Chills in any case.
REASONS WHY TIIEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED t
Their Reputation it ExlMUhtd. Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles lu
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
Tlurt it no JiUk in Taking Them. They
contain nothing Injurious, aud, therefore, cause
none of those lingering diseases so often the re
sult of the many nostrums of the day. Physi
cians recommend them as fur superior to Qui
nine, or any other known rernody,for they leave
the system in a healthy state, and tho patient
beyond the probability of a relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. The
genuine are nut up in square tin boxes, with
"Thompsons Fever and Ague Powders"
stamped on tho lid, and the slgnaturo of
"Thompson fc Crawford," on tho wrupper.
No others can possibly be genuine.
