Tick* on Cattle.
1 notice that some of your subscribers
wish to know some remedy for keeping
wood ticks from cattle. The following
mixture, if given one tablespoonful dai¬
ly, will clean cattle of ticks and lice;
and if a handful is kept in the horse
trough condition the year round, it is better than
any fifteen powders. I have used it
for years and know it to be true.
One peck of sifted wood ashes; one
fourth of a pound of tobacco, ground
fine; one-half pound of soda; one pound
of sulphur; six pounds of salt; mix up
thoroughly. Try it and no one will ever
regret it.— Southern. Cultivator.
Condiments for Poultry.
Any sort of food for man or beast is
unsuitable flavorless for digestion, says the Poultry
Yard, if and insipid, no
how much nutritive material a chemical
analysis may reveal in it. Therefore,
you should season regularly and uniformly
all the meal, dough, or other soft feed
you give to your fowls, and the season
ing will help to make what you give
them food in a very essential sense. The
proper condiments for poultry are salt,
cayenne pepper, ginger, and mustard,
Change from one of these to the other,
Salt and cayenne are the staples. This
does not make the diet an artificial one,

aromatic buds and berries of the forest.
forms, Supplying them in these concentrated
great care must be exercised in
matter of condiments not to overdo and
thus spoil what we have undertaken in
good faith, and A good rule iu the use of

poultry food is to season just about the same

We should not seek a pampered, un
natural condition for fowls, but strive to
give them just their the proportion of aromatic
substances in feed that

to in a wild state.
Whaf Dairymen Say to Each Other.
In the interchange of experiences and
observations at the recent convention of
the New York State Dairymen,’s associa
tion Professor Alvord, of Houghton
Farm, expressed dairy the belief that between the best
cross for cows i3 the one
a Jersey sire and Ayrshire dam. His ex
perieuce led him to give the preference
to grade animals Norwich, for best dairy recommended cows. J.
S. Shattuck, of
the best native cow crossed with the
Dutch Freisian, for producing milk to
sell; ior butter he advised agrade Devon
crossed with Guernsey or Jersey, and for
miik and beef the working bhorthorn.
S ‘fiT Uer ’f Mom6 ' favored the
“hornier beet.
The feeding of brewers grains was, as
a matter of course discussed, and as is
usual when this subject is introduced,
diverse opinions were expressed. I ro
feasor Alvord did not think that brew
ers grains and starch feed injure milk
for butter and cheese, though there
m^ht do germs in that food which
would deteriorate the milk for human
food. Dr Sturtevant sa.d that milk
from cows fed on brewers’grains under
&3TT st™“tXLS
brewers’ grains to be detrimental to dairy
interests. Mr, Peer said that his expe¬
rience showed an increased quantity of
milk, but decreased amount nud quality
of butter, when the cows were fed on
brewers' grains.
Professor I. B. Roberts favored figures high but
judicious feeding, and gave that it from
his own experience to show pays
to give rich food not only in the increased
and better quality of the product dropped but in
the extra richness of the manure
by the oows. Mr. Peer explained that
the milch cow cats most and keeps poor¬
est in flesh, while the best beef cow cats
least and keeps fattest. A Short-horn
cow will gain two and three pounds a
day until she weighs a ton. His observa¬
tion and experience had convinced him
of the profits of judicious high feeding.
His best results had been gained with
wheat bran and middlings: he feeds corn
- -
only for pork and beef, and believes
cottonseed meal is cheaper than
meal. He had found the feed: following to

oats to one pound of cottonseed meal.-—

Farm and Carden Notes.
It has been learned by „ experimenting
that five pounds of cooked squash fed to
a cow will produce the same quantity
and quality of milk as one pound of
ground wheat.

York experimental station shows that

It is'foilv to turn under weeds that
have gone to seed, for the seeds of most
weeds, no matter how deeply buried,
will retain their vitality and make rapid
growth so soon as they are brought near
the surface.
It is undoubtedly bad practice to cul¬
tivate or plow heavy soil when soaked

tion does not apply to the light rains
that fall in midsummer and early fall,
while the soil is still warm.
The Farmers' Gazette (Ireland), claims
that the operation oi dishorning cattle

and that it rendered the dishorned ani

It is not necessary for farmers to cm
ploy a professional vineyardist to prune
their vines. They had better do this
than to neglect pruning, as too many do.
If you remember that one bud saved on
every shout of last season’s growth will
produce as much wood and fruit next
season as the vine had last fall, it will
not be so difficult to cut back enough.
In soft wood tenpenny nails are more
effective than eightpenny, but where the
nailing is to be in oak stubs eights are
preferable. It is interesting to know
that tenpenny nails average sixty-eight
to the pound, while the long eights give
101 to the same weight. By remember¬
ing this the amount of nails required to
do a given piece of work may be easily
calculated.
Sandy land is generally too dry. Ad
ing potash in the form of wood ashes
supplies needed moisture, beside fur¬
nishing a mineral in which sandy soil is
usually deficient. Next to wood ashes
the German potash salts will answer a
good purpose. Sandy soil should

without seeding with clover or some other
crop ply to be plowed under, so of as vegetable to sup¬

A WONDERFUL PLANT.
A Sooth American Plant Which, it 1*
Claimed, Cure* Cancer.
Now and then reports of wonderful
cures discovered in South America get
into circulation, hut as a rule the result
of careful tests has heeu such as to ren¬
der the medical fraternity and the public
incredulous of any new reports from the
same part of the world. A case was
brought to the attention of the district
medical society last evening which, on
its face, presented attracting remarkable features,
and which is much attention
from physicians. This was a case of what
it is believed, by the patient at least, to
be a complete euro of a cancer in the
course of two or three weeks’ treatment
with the product of a wonderful Brazil¬
ian plant. The person John A. who had the can¬
cer was Captain who is Duble, of 387
Missouri avenue, well-known
throughout the Southwest. He was af¬
flicted with a skin cancer on his face and
nose for many years. After having it
operated upon twice, without permanent
relief, he saw' a description in the consu¬
lar reports of the Brazilian cancer cure.
He procured a quantity of the resin or
cream sent to this country from Surgeon
General Hamilton, of the marine hos¬
pital service. Dr. Smith Townshcnd,
after using the what remedy for three
weeks, effected appears to be a
permanent cure. The cancer, which was
on one side of Captain Duble’s nose, was
quite deep, and the size of a half dollar
piece. Last Wednesday night Captain
Duble was invited before the medical
society of the district by Dr. Hamilton,
and an examination was made into the
case, the physicians present being greatly
interested in the case. Dr. Townshend,
when asked about the case by a Star re¬
porter, said that Captain Duble, time, who
had been a patient of his for some
called his attention to the sore on the
slde of “ s no ®®’ sa J 1D ff 1 t wa3 a
? his an ^, lather and and w ? u , his ? probably grandfather kdl had him, l . both as
been afflicted with cancers in the same
s P ot ’ and had died tiom them. Dr.
Townshend at first doubted whether it
was a cancer, but subsequent observations
convinced him that it was a cancer. He
treated it, and several times produced
what appeared to be a cure. The sore
healed up, but in course of time broke
out again. Captain Duble then brought
him this remedy, and he began to apply
it. Within three weeks the sore had
disappeared, there being nothing left
put a cicatrix. He had treated the
patient so that his blood was in excellent
condition. Whether a permanent cure
pad been effected or not the disappeared rapidity
with which the cancer had
was remarkable. Dr. Townshend said
he was not yet satisfied asto the remedy,
and would not make any report of it
until he was fully convinced that it had
effected a permanentcure. He will then
make a report of the case for the medical
journals. This was the first trial that
the remedy had had in this city. Dr.
Hamilton is now, Dr. Townshend said,
experimenting upon another case. “I
will wait for three weeks or a month,”
said Dr. Townshend, “and if the sore
has not then broken out again I will feel
satisfied that a cure has been effected,
and will make a report to the medical
journals.” Neither Dr. Ford Thompson Dr.
nor
Hamilton consider that the disease ol
Captain Duble was one of true cancer,
but one of lupus, an affection almost
as intractable as cancer but the fact re
mained that the ulcer had healed aftei
the application of the remedy. If it
does not again recur it is believed that a
new and valuable remedy will have been
added to tho list of curative agents.
The remedy was department brought to by the Consul atten
tion of the state
Henry L. Atherton, at Pernambuco, who
wrote a communication to the depart
ment last September, including a report
by Dr. R. Bandeira, surgeon at the Pedro
II. hospital at Pernambuco, regarding a
cancer cure to which wond erfui proper
ties w r ere ascribed. Dr. R. Bandeira, in
his report, says he would not like to risk
a theory in order to explain its physio
logical and therapeutic action as an es
charotie, but is able to assure that it
gives a splendid result in the treatment
of ulcers of different kinds. A magis
trate, Dr. Guemre3, was the first that
made it known, four years ago. He had
a cancroid of the face. He was peifectly
cured there by the natives of the coun
try using this remedy, and he wrote
to Recife, sending the plant, and
its juice, which was tried, Dr.
Bandeira says, with success in
several cases. Last year the juice oi
alveloz was used in the Hospital Pedro
II., with such success that Dr. Vellozo
published a notice in the papers advising
the employment of it. Many other expe
riences have been made in cases of epi
thelioma of the lips, nose, face and eye
lids. The application of alveloz as the
plant is commonly called in ulcerated
cancers ("sarcoma or carcinoma) has not
given the result that many doctors
hoped. The plant belongs to the family
Euphorbiacece. It grows spontaneously it is
in the whole north of Brazil, where
known by different names, the most
common being that of alveloz. arvcloz, oi
aveloz. The natives of ‘Brej’o,’ ’Fra
Madra Deos,’ used to burn the wound
with the juice running from a piece ol
a broken or cut stem, after having
washed it with decoction of leaves of
tobacco. Dr. Bandeiro inclosed to the
consul a bottle of the juice treated with
salicylic acid, and also a small quantity by
of a resinous substance obtained
heating the juice with water and alco
hoi. These specimens were forwarded
by Consul Atherton to the state depart
ment. In his letter Air. Atherton says
that in addition to the accompanying of re
port of Dr. Bandeiro, he knows a case
where this medicine has cured cancer in
the breast.
On the receipt by the department of
state of the samp'e spoken of. it was
turned over to the marine hospital
service for tests. — Washington Star.

of glass, which is: “A hard, brittle,
transparent substance, formed by fusing
sand with fixed alkalies.” Continuing,
the writer says: and
