AGRICULTURAL. I 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. | .„T° Mend Iron Pots. —Mix finely I silted lime with some whites of eggs, I till a thin paste is formed; then add I some iron filling. Apply this to the A fracture and the vessel will-' be found j to be nearly as sound an ever. tarty greeting. Nell kissed him, I LLcallcd-lihu a “dear good man," ) THE GEORGIA WEEKLY.
