A good deal of discussion has lately taken place in England over the old question whether sunshine checks combustion. It is the old no tion that sunlight lessens the intensity of a fire, and may even put it out ; and the theory was that the sun’s heat by expanding air caused a diminished supply of oxygen to the coal. This and all other explanations arc now condemned, and the fact is denied. One writer says that if a few pieces of charcoal nrc ignited in a chauf fer. am! placed in a sunny room provided with closely filling shutters, the fire will appear to die away in the sun's light. But if the shutters arc closed, the coals will be seen to be in full combustion. There is no phenomenon at all, but only ihe appearance of one, which is due not to the sun’s heal, but io the fact that its light, being stronger than that of the coals, overcomes and subdues it. The fact of combus tion is so intimately connected with glowing ignition in our minds, that anything which les sens the glow appear* also to diminish the com bustion.— The G’ alary. THE IW SWWIB & W» IWE STOCK. From Rsrey’s Horse Tamer. Remedy for Gripes, or Colic. Give to the horse a pint of port or claret wine, with a small nutmeg grated fine, and half a spoonful of powdered ginger, all well mixed, and given rather hotter than lukewarm. The best method is to get ready some boiling hot water, then put the nutmeg and ginger, together with a little loaf sugar, into a vessel, and pour the hot water upon them, and cover it for three minutes; then add the wine, and give this dose to the horse pretty warm. It generally gives relief in a short time. My intention is not to say anything upon farriery, except two or three of the most common diseases to which horses are subject. Much has already been written by able professors. HOLLAND CATTLE. Os recent importations of Holland cattle, it is said that one of the cows, six years of age, dropped a calf on the Isth of May weighing 101 pounds, and from the 26th of May to the 27th of July, by careful and exact record, gave 4,018 pounds and 14 ounces of milk. The largest yield in any one day was 76 pounds 5 ounces, or 3U quarts. Iler average for ten days was 74 47-lOOths pounds per day, and the amount es cream produced from this milk was 22 71-lOOths per cent. Six days’ milk of this cow being set for cream, produced 17 pounds 14 ounces of good butter. Holland has long been famous for its dairy stock and delicious butter, commanding the highest price in London and other cities.— Nashville Union and American. From Rarey's Horse Tamer. Concerning the Hots. In twenty-seven years time, I never had a horse to die of the bots. I believe that almost everybody is convinced that the bots come from the eggs or knits, which are deposited upon the horse’s hair, by that troublesome fly, resembling a bee in color. This has always been my opin ion. Now, as it is generally known, that a horse that has the bots, does not appear to suf fer, till he is too far gone to be cured. To pre vent the fatal effects of this disease, I have made it a practice to give my horses, in the month of September, the following remedy : Os olive oil, honey and lemon-juice, each, two ounces and a half: mix and give these to the horse ; the next day purge well. Whether a horse be inclined or not to have the bots, this remedy will do him no hurt. New Cause of Horse-Cribbing. Mr. E. C. Postell, of Madison county, Miss., in a letter to the New York Farmers’ Club, says that cribbing is occasioned by whisky, horses addicted to it having contracted the habit at cross-road drinking establishments, by being tied to posts or fences long after the hours for feed ing, and becoming impatient at the protracted stay of their who are seen through the cracks ’of the log-house drinking so frequently! They bite the rail, imitating the gurgling sound of the imbibers, and in the act swallow wind and become fond of it. Plenty of proper food given to the animal at regular intervals is the only remedy. Kin rr Worms is Swine.—H. D. Court, the well km feeder of Chester White swine, of BattlsX're* ni '”Br h., writes the Prairie Farmer that he has TMmd a teaspoonful of pulverized 1 copperas, mixed with an equal quantity of sul phur, fed in the night’s meal, for three days, effective in this disease. Sometimes a longer i treatment is necessary. Symptoms of disease— , a lameness in the hindquarters like weakness in the back. When horse-stables are not properly ventila te! nor lighted, it is an excellent plan to maka a small window where each horse may thrust i out bis nose wnen he is not eating, and breathe I pure air. Do not crowd too many sheep into one shed. , They will not do well. In arranging fee-ling i racks, allow two feet space for each sheep at least.

How to Cook Hominy. Wash slightly in cold water and soak twelve hours in tepid soft water, then boil slowly from three to six hours in same water, with plenty more added from time to time, with great care to prevent burning. Don’t salt while cooking, as that or hard water will harden the corn. When done add butter and salt; or a better way is to let each one season to suit the taste. It may be eaten with meat in lieu of vegetables, or with sugar or syrup. Hominy is always good, hot or cold, and is very wholesome. Mrs. R. For the Rural Southerner and Plantation. Tomato Catsup. To a gallon of ripe tomatoes add four table spoonfuls of salt, four ditto of ground black pepper, three ditto of mustard, one-half ditto of ground cloves, same of alspice, and six red peppers ground finely ; simmer all slowly to gether, with a pint of vinegar, three or four hours, and strain through a sieve and bottle, corking tightly.

Beat the whites of three eggs to a stiff froth, add the sugar, and when done, pour it over the top evenly and re turn to the oven to stiffen, not to brown. Mrs. B.
