THTMP IN HOGR —A Correspondent of the Cincinnati Go.-WJc says ue has at different times lost a considerable mini her of hops who had that usually fatal disease, the thumps, but in awery instance where he made one or two applications of pnre pine tar, by putting it in their months and forcing it down their throats, they recovered from this disease Anoth er remedy is given by another corrrapon eent as follow j : As soon as you find that your hog has the thumps drench him with half a pound of epsom salts dis solved in one pint of water. One dose will cure him if he is not too far gone with the disease. SPRAIN OP FETLOCK AND GOITRE.— The horse should be kept as quiet as possi ble. Iu all cases of severe strain, rest is always the great desideratum It must be remembered that all tendrons and ligaments are very slowly repaired. Six weeks after an ordinary sprain is, as a rule, the shortest time at which the horse is able to bear even moderate exercise. Time shonld now be given for the inflammation produced by the blis ter to completely disappear. Until this is effected no further treatment must be attempted. You will then be able to judge more accurately of the degree of injury. If at the end ,f the time named above the Injured parts remain thick ened, or the horse continues lame, a mild blister applied over for some dis tance round the injured part may be sufficient t restore it to health. A STOOR FEEDING HOPPED, which is proof agauift rats, can be made as fol lows : Make a platform two or three feet square, as the case may be; then make A square box three inches high and sixtom inches square ; naO it in the cen tre cf the platform ; saw strips one and one fourths indies square and eighteen inches high for the posts ; na l strips of boards, twp inches wide, to the posts at the top. toweenre and steady them : then take comzqpii lath, or any thin stuff, one and oue-hgil? or two inches wide, and nail them to the top and bottom, np and down, a space of two inches be tween eaclf slat, so that the fowl can get at the feed.' The roof may be four-sqnare and detached, so that it can lie raised when reoaired to be replenished with grain. Elevate the hopper on a post about ihrea feet from the ground, which makes it r#t and mice proof. The fowls vriU soon learn to lean upon the platform, and feed from the grain box between the •lata. W AITDFO HAT. —We have often seen farmers turn their cattle from barn and stable into the yard, then carry the hay into different corners, and feed in piles to their animal*. Did they ever think now mnch is wasted by such idovenly process ? Suppose a dozen cows ore kept, and 250 lbs. are fed ont daily in this way. We doubt not fully 10 per cent, of this sum goes to waste and is trodden under foot. Count this up dur ing the feeding season, from Nov. Ist to April Ist—five months—and here we have the aggregate of a waste of 3,000 lbs., or If tons, sufficient almost to sup port cne cow alone, and abundantly sufficient, if roots, shorts, or meal are fed as part of their food. Count up this waste of 10 per cent, on the full value of the hay crop of the country, and it will reach over 81,000,000. This waste is entirely unnecessary. Put up portable racks, if you mast feed out-doors; and, if the hay is thrown in there, every sprig will be eaten and economized. The stock can get at their feed very handily, and will not trample it under foot. We are also great believers in shelter for animals. The more they are exposed to cold weather, the greater will he the consumption of food to snstain the animal warmth. If they are kept in a good, warm, sheltered location, tbey will need leas food, and the farmer will find his buildings a great economy. Never fee*| out-doors in snowy, rainy, or stormy weather ; for the waste will be even greater than before.

An encounter took place in the Fncific (the exact locality is not given), about j the 2tHh of Dcecmlw-r last, between the Prussian frignte Medusa and two small French gunboat", the Curieux and Bnnox resulting in the sinking of l*th the French vcascls. The Curieux carried four brass twclvc-poundera, and tho • Itrniox two twclve-ponndcni and one twenty-four poandcz. while the Pnisaizn ship was arminl with thirteen guna of lnavv calibre. Admiral Clone of the French fleet in the Pacific, in a letter ilidcd Dap. 21, from on board the French war-frigate | Astree, written to Capt Graw of the Pe ruvinn navy, iuexplauation of the affair, thinks that in view of the relative sizes | of the ships, it is not to be wondered nt j that the French gunboats were lieaten and sunk. The French frigate Ccrcel left Monte-1 video in search of the Medusa imme diately after receiving the news. THE HORRORS of a bombardment are forcibly illustrated in the following in cidcnt related by n Pari* correspondent: j "In the midst of the firing nine jieople j sat down to breakfast in n smnlj house j the plateau of Amm. There were the commander of the Sixth Battalion j i of Mobile* of the Suine ( M. Heintrier), i his wife. ]he adjutant of tiuvbattalion, a captain, two lienteiianta, an ensigu, a chaplain, and a doctor—nearly nil of the ! same lmttalion. A PfUi suui shell came j amaaliing ujNin the table, and killed six of the party. The commandant and his j wife were wounded. The only one who escaped unhurt was the doctor. Of the eight persons who were killed, six be longed to this little jmrty. 'There want* | but a shell to give us butter," one of the ' party had said. Instantly came a shell, and blew ix of them out of existence, while wounding two more, tho command ; ant and his wife." FHIOHTTTX S TEAR no AT DTSARTKR. — Tlie steamer W. It.
