Scours in Sheep.— Sheep are very I
liable to an attack of diarrhoea, or!
scours, during their first winter. In|
addition to this peculiarity of tune,!
the disease may be brought out by|
giving grain in too large quantities!
when beginning to feed. It ihou I
be dealt'out very moderately at first,!
and the quantity gradually increased.!
V yery prominent cause, and one noil
generally understood, may be found
fn unripe, or not properly ripened
hiv The author of the American'
Shepherd says, that this is, probably,
the chief inducing cause. The dis
ease can be easily arrested by mixing
a small quantity of pulverized alum
in wheat bran, and feeding for a-day
or two. If this fails, and a tendency
to dysentery be exhibited, give a-pur
gative of castor oil (a tablespoonful)
with dry food, and but little drink.-
Youatt gives as a remedy: Prepared)
chalk one ounce; powdered catechu,
one-half ounce ; powdered ginger, two
drachms; mix with half a pint of pep
permint water. The dose is from one
to two tablespoonfuls morning and
night. „
Remedy for Teacii Borers*-I
Take about half a pint of common!
salt, and sew it up in a small bag oil
strong cotton cloth, such as common
osnaburg, will answer all purposes ; I
tie this in the fork of the tree, where
let it remain until the salt is dissolved
by the rains that fall; which will be
in the course of two years, and the
work is done. The brine that runs
down the trunk of the trees will kill
both worms and eggs as they are de-|
posited; besides, it proves a benefit to
the*tree. Should there have accumu
lated a hardening of gum at the sur
face of the grouifd, as it sometimes the]
case, it should be removed, so that the
solution may reach the worms. It is
equally as applicable for the apple
tree borer and aphis at the roots.
Correspondence Gardner s Monthly.
Quantity of food for Stock. —
Frequent observations have shown
that an ox will consume two per cent,
of his weight of hay per day to main
tain his condition. If put to moder
ate labor, an increase of this quantity
to three per cent will enable him to
perform his work, and still maintain
his flesh. If he is to be fatted, he re
quires about four and a half per cent,
of his weight daily in nutritious food.
A cow to stand stationary, and give
no milk, eats two per cent, of her
weight daily; and if in milk, she will
consume three per cent. It is evident,
therefore, that two cows may be kept
in milk on the same amount that it
would take to keep three doing noth
ing. So says the Michigan Farmer.
Pigs. —“P. Thompson,” an expe
rienced farmer sends us the following
communication: Last summer I had
two pigs who, notwithstanding I gave
them more attention than any of the
others, became very poor. I was
told to examine their upper jaws, that
just in front of the tusk I would find a
little black tooth, and that if I pulled
this out the pigs would thrive. I
tried the experiment upon of the pigs
(the other having got lost) with the
most successful result, as the animal is
now large and thriving.
New Mode of Grafting Trees.—
The new system adopted in France is
to remove a small piece of bark and
wood, leaving a smooth and flat sur
face, to which a similar piece contain-i
ing the bud which is to form the fu
ture tree, is fitted, which is sealed
ovef immediately. This forms a
strong, impervious cuticle, which se
cures a free circulation of sap on the
approach of warip weather, and per
fect union of parts.
To 'Destroy Cabbage Worms.—
Break off a large leaf from the bottom
of the cabbage, and place it on top,
upper side down. Do this in the
evening and in the morning you will
find that near or quite all the worms
on each cabbage have taken up their
quarters on this leaf. Take off the
leaf and kill them, or feed them to tbej
chickens, and place the leaf back in
there be any more to catch. I
Cathartic Pill for Horses.—
Take Cape Aloes in powder, one and
a quarter ounce; Jamaica Ginger, in
powder, quarter ounce. Mix to a
firm consistence with with Syrup of
Buckthorn, and make it into the
shape of a roll of cents (about three j
quarters of an inch in diameter.) —
Give, rolled up in paper precisely like
a roll of cents. This is an effectual!
pills.— Paracelsus.
How to Cure Ringbone.— Ring-1
bone is a difficult thing to remove or I
cure. Mr. W. 11. Chaffee adopts thel
following remedy: “Make a bag ofl
strong linen cloth, about two inches!
broad, tfe it just above the ringbone,!
and wet it twice each day. Keep itl
on about four weeks.”
TThe Black Bug.— ls cabbage orl
other plants are infested with thel
black bug, it is recommended to sprin-1
kle them with water, tinctured with!
aloes. The application may need re-1
peating after showers, and should bel
continued until the plants become ofl
sufficient size to escape injury. |
