Neglect of Horses
Diseases of this stock often arise
from wfattt appears to be the best care
whichl when observed, appears to'be
actuaf nof?l«ct. Borne of oiir be« 4
and Inost thrifty farmer*,'**y* * eo'r
respomlent of the Germant&wn Tele
grap)i,\ec\t their horses, especially
their trbtting and blooded animals,
tiod in their stalls for Bereral days
in succession, without any exercise
or sun light, save the few minutes in
watering, and their drink is often
caffied to them. At the time
they are often fed on com—n Yery
unnecesary article for inactive beasts
when they can get good hay. The
comb is, as it should be, freely used.
They seem to have overlooked the
act th'at the horse as well asman
man requires pure air, proper food,
regular exercise, cleanliness, light,
and heat to promote a healthy action
of all hiS organs.
So important are tho four first
named condition that it is hard to de
termine which shculd receive the at
tention. We know however, which
is toaost generally neglected. How
many there are who drive their hor
ses from ten to twenty milesat »time
when they had not traveled one mile
during the previous three or fotir
days? The creature comes out of the
stable sleek and plump, and spirited,
for he is restless, and delights to be
in the open air, to which he may
have free access in summer; his flesh
is not compact but flabby, and he
tires in half the time of one that had
been frequently exercised. There
cart be 110 doubt that the imprisons
ed- animals, though grain fed, would
rhirw -s strength ami endurance
t! ;tji "no turned out an hour per day
i: dft'l on good hay. At the end of
a week of work together, similar fed
and otherwise attended to the first
would have lost much flesh, and been
in a worse state than jhe other.—
Exercise of the right quantity ins
creases the flesh (not fat,) and solid
ifies the muscles. Inaction aug
ments adipose mattet - , and when pro
protracted, with stimulating food,
creates disease both in man and
beast.
The horse is being over domestica
ted and taking his master's diseases,
l'neumonia, consumption, cancer,
are becoming quite common, but with
dissimilar names. The best and
most valued horses in this country
die suddenly, and frequently after
some enormous prizes are offered.—
Inactivity in the human species
often ends in appolexy and palsy, and
likewise with tho animal.
The currycomb is better appreci
ated by stock raisers than locomo.
tion. But it is seldom used to excess.
It is to the horse what a bath is to
mankind. It removes impurities,
promotes a healthy action of the skin
and equalizes the electric fluid. It
is the poor mans friend, for a horse
curried twice daily will need only
half the grain of a horse not curried.
It may be that he would thrive as
well if lie got nothing but good clover
and timothy. The man of small means
more frequently neglects this point
of economy than the wealthy.
Most stables are well enough ven
telated but light is less plentiful than
air. Windows would supply this de
ficiency, and on tho south side of a
building would draw heat.
A Place for Tools
Farmers should take good care of
their farming tools and implements,
and not let them out to get wet, and
to the influence of a hot sun, to crack
the wood. Wagons and plows will last
a life time, if well housed, but when
left out, exposed to all kinds of
weather, a few years suffice to use
them up.
A tool room is as important to a
farmer as any building on his farm.
A work bench, with a vice at one end
is very important. Here a hundred
things can be 'fixed,' too numerous to
mention.
In such a room a good assortment
of good tools should be kept—saws,
planes, augurs, bits, gimlets, files,&c.
Then get a good supply of nails of
all ki lis, wrought and cut, and some
made especially for little jobs, that
require nice nails. The city hard
ware dealers have them ; they come
in papers like bards. You also want
an assortment of screws. No matter
whether you know of any use you can
put many of the screws, brads, nails.
&c., to, you will be sure to use them
all sooner or later.
You also require a good assort*
ment of timber, ready seasoned to
enabled you to make or mend any
thing that can possibly be' done out
side of a wheelright or blacksmiths
shop.
lry it, farmers and see how quick
ly you and your sons ean learn on
rainy days to put your farm tool in
order, and also do many other things
for the 'woman folks,' that will save
yon hundreds of dollars in the end.—

To PREVENT CATTLE FROM JUMP
ING.—The following singular state
ment was made at a late meeting of
the American Institute Farmers'Club
at New York. To prevent steers
from jumping fencee, clip off their
ey« lashes of the under lids' with a
pair of scissors, and the ability or
disposition to jump as affeetually
destroyed as Sampson's power was by
the loss of his locks. The animal I
will not attempt to jump a fence un-1
til the; lashes are grs#n Qf
this we are informed by SarnH'Thoriie
thereat breeder of Dutchess county
who assured us that lie had tested it
upon a pair of breechy o»a. Asuit
was of greaf value to .'him jj,fee hopfcs
it will be tried by iiithers.

For sixteen years the Mpinor Doctor has been manu

In New Hampshire, where it originated, no remedy for
humors Is so highly prized. An eminent physician
(now an army surgeon) when practising in New Hamp
shire, put chased between titty and sixty gallons of if
during some seven or eight years, and used it in his

ordered It, and have used it in practice with great Sue*
cess When the 1 roprieftbr lived In New Hampshire, at
Goflftown Center, for the spue© of thirty or forty miles
around, and in Manchester particularly, the Humor
Doct«w was well known and highly valued for the nu
merous and wonderful cures wbich.it effected. Though
manufactured in large quantities the supply wap fre
quently exhausted, and purchasers had fo wait for more
to be made. In that region some very severe cases of
Ery«i|Mdas were treated with—and they weie cured.—
Erysipelas sores, or carbuncles, those ugly, painful ul
cers. were entirely removed wherever this medicine was
faithfully uned. So it was with Scrofula ami Salt Rheum.

For the sake of showing what Is thought of ft, a few !
testimonials are here inserted:
Milton Gale, Esq., Boston* Mass*
I hereby certlf> that I was sorely ail.iclid v boils ■
for two years, developing themselves on my limbs and
other parts of my body. The NuflTuringa which len j
dured from them are Indescribable. Suffice it to say
that I faithfully tried several of the most popular hu- !
mor remedies, but without removing tin* affliction. At i
Ingth, by the earnest request of an intimate friend, I
wan Induced t«» iry I>r. J . W. Poland's Humor I»octor,
and am very happy to attest that all my bolls were re
moved, and my health was restored by using Dr. Po
land's aforesaid medicine.

A. C. W. Esq., Manchester, N. H.
DR. J. W. POLANO—Dear Sir: I very cheerfully give
my te«t<nrtny in favor of your Humor Doctor as an ex
cellent remedy for humors. My numerous acquaint
anco in Manchester know how severely I was afflicted
with Boils, and they know how perfectly good my health
is at present. Your lltimer Doctor cured me. Please
refer to me for particulars in my case.
Manchester, N. 11., June 11,'66. A. C. WLLACE-
Mrs. Wheeler, St one ham, Mass.
I very confidently and earnestly recommend Dr. J.
W. Poland's Humor Doctor as an excellent temedy for
humors, having been wonderfully remedied by It myself.
Mjr own case waa a very severe and obstinate one. For
more than two years the skin upon the inside of both
my hands, and even down to my wrist, was constantly
cracked aud broken up, so that I WHS unable to use
my hands in any kinds of wet work, and was
obliged To wear gloves in sewing to avoid getting blood
upon my work. The humor which ao afflicted me was
probably a combination of Erysipelas and Salt Rheimi.
My general health was quite poor Soon after I began
to use the Humor Doctor 1 could perceive signs of heal
ing. I continued to use the medicine till I was finally
cured My hands are now perfectly free from humors,
and to all ap|>enrnr)Ce« my whole syßtetn is clear of it,
kid has been for several months. I used eight bottles
before I felt safe to give it up entiiely, but they cused
me. HARRIET W HEELER.

DR. POLAND, I received your letter er.|uiring as to
the effects of your medicine on sea-sickness. lam liap.
pv to say that I think It Is '»the medicine" for that
dreadful sickness. I tried various prescriptions, but
found none that settled the stomach and cleared the
head like the Humor Doctor. I felt aa though I could 1
hardly wait togetashore, to entreat jou to Intrduce it |
into ship chandlery stores, that it may find its way to '
those who ijuflcr upon the mighty deep from sea-sick
nee*. If captains who take their families with them,
or carry passengers, should try ♦♦ for ones, they would
never be willing to voyage without it.
I have used it for my family since its introduction to
the pnblic for bilious habits, headache and humors
about my children, and have always found It a sure
I am not fond of having my name appear In pnblic,
and would not consent to it on any other account but to
relieve the suffering ; but if the foregoing will be of any
service to you or the public, you can make use of it.

Much more might be said In relation to this medicine,
! as contained iu testimonials, but it is needless. Ack
' Manchester druggests about it, especially E. W. Blake,
( at Barr'n. Inquire of Mr. Henry lMumer,of Bedford,
; whose wife was cured by it of Salt Rheum. Ask almost
| any person In Uoffstown, and they will declare its value
j as a remedy, as used in their own cases or by their
I friends.
The llnmor Doctor was formerly sold at fifty cents
per bottlo; but the cost of every Ingredient composing
it has gone up so enormously, that the price haa boen
raised to fifty cents only, and' that by compulsion.
