Scratches in a Horse.
Scratches, or grease, in a horse, Is
due to disordered blood, loaded with
impurities which should have been
carried off through the kidneys or
bowels. It usually accompanies uri- ,
nary disorder, and is most prevalent
among horses which are fed largely
upon grain. Exposure of the legs to
mud or wet, or melting snow, aggra
vates the condition of l the skin, and
assists in the inflammatory eruption.
The treatment should be to give cool
ing medicines, as twelve to sixteen
ounces of Epsom salts, followed by
mild diuretics, as one ounce doses of
sweet spirits of niter. But a change
of food will be helpful; give bran
mash, with some cut roots if possible.
IVash the legs in warm water and soft
soap, and then apply a solution of one
dram of sulphate of zinc in a pint of
water. The niter should be continued
for ten days or two weeks. The legs
must be strictly protected from con
tact with manure or mud.
OH Cake for Young Stock.
There is probably no food better
adapted to forcing a healthy, rapid
growth of young stock than ground oil
cake, and in fact we might say there is
no food better ifor all kinds of stock.
Old broken down horses are made to
look sleek and fat by feeding oil cake,
while the young stock can be forced in
growth to a wonderful extent. Corn
and oats are hard to digest for young
stock, and often cause disease both in
the stomach and mouth. We frequent
ly hear complaints that calves and colts
are not doing well, although fed an
abundance of grain, and have invaria
bly found in such cases that they were
troubled either with constipation or
sore mouth, or both. The first year’s
growth on a calf or colt is worth more
than the two following, and should bo
crowded as fast as possible. During
the first year the foundation is laid,
and [if dwarfed and cramped from
starvation or neglect, can only make a
scrub at maturity. The time to make
largo frames is during'the first year,
and without large frames the prospect
for draft or beef are by no means en
couraging.
Hearing Calve*.
,-e business of rearing good calves
some persons treat as of no conse
quence, feeding and treating them
with much irregularity. They areapt
to take pains with the domestic ani
mals about the house, but those of the
farm are often neglected. To have
fine, large cattle, good care must be
taken of the calves from the very
start. Last year I bought a milch cow
with a calf two weeks old. I immedi
ately permanently separated them,
ami taught the calf to drink skiipmed
milk and eat hay, sometimes giving it
a little corn meal mixed with fresh
milk. The calf soon learned to drink
and eat, and has grown apace, and is
now a very handsome heifer. The
bow, in a few days, became weaned,
and gave an abundance of milk. A
calf may be readily taught to drink its
food, simply by pressing its head into
the pail with one hand and inserting
the forefinger of the other into its
mouth. By this method it will in
stinctively suck Its beverage. When
a calf is about six weeks old, I turn it
into a lot of grass to pasture, but con
tinue to give it meal and milk, and
skimmed milk twice a day. By this
process I increase the size nearly one
third beyond that attained by my
neighbors’ neglected ones of equal age.
To have a fine calf, he must be kept
under the farmer’s eye, and always
well fed.— Household anil Harm.
Forest Jbeave* anit Foreat’Mould.
The trees of the forest, by their an
nual deposit of leaves and fruits, and
finally by the fall and decay of their
trunks, prepare valuable beds of
humus or forest mould for the use of
gardeners and farmers. All who are
wise avail themselves of this decayed
vegetable matter, which is a wonder
fully recuperative agent and greatly
prized, especially by market gardeners
and florists.
Leaf mould, notably that of hard
wood trees, such as oak, hickory,
beech, walnut and others, contains
valuable fertilizing material and is in
excellent condition for the ameliora
tion of the soil. It is not as a ferti
lizer alone that it benefits the land;
it tends also to mellow the soil and
open it to the action of the rain and
the sun, as well as to the roots of
plants. Leaf mould has been found
especially useful on close clay soils
that need aerating, as well as on light
lands destitute of the required amount
of humus.
Forest leaves, that are freshly fallen
from the trees, are also of use; and
when the farmer has leisure teams
and his boys leisure time, it pays to
gather and haul these for covering,
as a protection against frost and to
mix with manure in the hotbed, &c.
Many gardeners employ forest leaves
for mulching their strawberry beds
and for covering celery pitsand hotbed
frames. In this connection it may
not be amiss to remind readers that
the refuse around wood-piles is a good
material for mixing in the compost
heap.— Neto York World.
Effect of Groand l.imtttonr.
Dr. A. P. Sharp, of Baltimore, who
is a thorough chemist and a good prac
tical farmer, recently exhibited to the
editor of the Maryland Farmer a field
of timothy grass, upon which he had
made a test of ground limestone as a
fertilizer. The following note, copied
from the Maryland Farmer, gives the
interesting result:
“The timothy was in blossom and
ready to be cut; but in the midst of
this timothy we observed lines of very
rich clover, and upon further observa
tion we found that these lines, which
were plain and distinct to the eye,
formed the letters and words, ‘A. P.
' 8., .J une 4th.’ Our curiosity as to the
, matter led to inquiries, and we learned
! from the doctor that to try an experl
-1 ment he had purchased a bag of finely
ground limestone, and going into the
centre of his field, he had sowed by
hand in the form of these letters to
see if it would have any effect upon
the grass, and this was the wonderful
result. The grass forming these let
ters was double in quantity, and of
quite a different color."
While this is an exceedingly satis
factory experiment, it must not be
taken as conclusive as a proof that the
ground limestone would always have
this remarkable result. Indeed, there
are circumstances known in which no
■effect whatever has been noticed from
a similar application. The secret, we
think, lies in the fact that Dr. Sharp
in his farm practice has followed a
very excellent and skillful method of
supplying his soil liberally with car
bonaceous matters. Having a very
just appreciation of the value of this
kind of manure he has applied it free
ly to his soil. The land is, therefore,
well supplied with organic forms of
carbon compounds, especially carbonic
acid. It is a known fact that lime
stone is freely dissolved in water con
taining carbonic acid, while it may be
insoluble in water that is devoid of
this solvent. This Is a point of great
importance, and should be taken into
consideration. It is consistent with
the general fact that special fertilizers
are most useful in soils rich in organic
matter, and very often wholly inert
otherwise. This fact seems to explain
why ground limestone is so variously
estimated, and why in one case it is
remarkably effective and in others
quite the reverse.— New York Times.
Household Hint*.
The lustre of morocco is restored by
varnishing it with the white of an
egg. Apply with a sponge.
Kid shoes can bo kept soft and free
from cracks by rubbing them once a
week with pure glycerine or castor
oil.
Stovepipes can be cleaned by putting
a piece of zinc on the coals of a hot
fire. The vapor produced carries off
the soot by chemical decomposition.
If people will use a porcelain teapot
which has been well scalded before the
tea is put in, and place it where it will
be kept quite hot before pouring on
the boiling water, they will find the
aroma perfectly preserved. The round
porcelain teapot with narow spout and
very small opening, just large enough
to put in the dry tea with a teaspoon,
is the best shape. The old rule, “a
teaspoonful for each cup and one for
the pot,” is a safe one.
Recipe*.
Poached Eggs.— Nearly fill frying
pan with boiling water; add a little
salt and vinegar. Break eggs one at
a time into wet saucer; slip from this
upon surface of water. Cook slowly ’
three minutes; take up with perforated
skimmer; lay carefully upon buttered
toast.
Hoe Cakes.— Stir into a pint of milk,
a teaspoonful of salt, half a pint of
corn meal and a teaspoonful of mo
lasses; mix, pour it on a hot tin and
bake before the fire. Sugar may be
used if preferred, and eggs are some
times added; but it will not be a true
hoe cake.
Green Corn Fritters. — Cut thfqugh
the centre of each rchtbf kernels, then
press out the centre pulp with the back
of the knife. Beat two eggs thorough
ly, and add to them a heaping salt
spoonful of salt, a pinch of cayenne,
one pint of corn pulp and flour enough
to make a moderately stiff batter
-1 Drop the batter in smoking hot fat
by tablespoonfuls, and brown them
evenly.
Chicken Pie.— Stew chicken till ten
der,season with one-quarter of a poithd
of butter, salt, and pepper; line the,
sides of a pie-dish with a rich crust,
pour in the stewed chicken, and cover
loosely with a crust, first cutting a hole
in ttie centre. Have ready a can of
oysters; heat the liquor, thicken with
a little flour and water, and season
with salt, pepper, and butter the size
of an egg. When it comes to aboil, pour
it over the oysters, and about twenty
minutes before the pie is done lift the
top crust and put thens in.
What Makes Complexion.
A pigment under the epidermis
makes the complexion. The colored
person has a black pigment, the bru
nette a light brown pigment, and the
blonde a still lighter pigment. When
there is no pigment in the skin, an Al
bino is the result, with pink eyes, white
hair, and white skin. When there is
an excess of pigment, freckles, moles
and birth-marks appear. Freckles are
not alone due to the action of the sun.
Some people have them in abundance
on the parts of the body not exposed
to the sun. The hairs are hollow
tubes, and have a supply of pigment
sent into them which determine the
i color of the hair. The pigment comes
from the blood. White hair may be
from absence of pigment or from the
I presence of air in the tubes.
TOPIC'S OF THE DAI.
The richest single woman in the
country is Catherine Wolfe. She hat
an income estimated at half a million
a year, and she owns real estate all
over New York. Her father, Deter
Wolfe, married Peter Lorillard’s sister,
and with her got a dowry of $1,000,000.
His wife died soon after and he mar
ried another of the Lorillard sisters,
and with her got another million. In
a short time she died also, and Wolfe,
after speculating awhile with his two
million and more, died himself, and
his property came to his daughter
Catherine.
Os the 2,047,000 women in occupa-
in the United States 595,000 are
engaged in agriculture, most of them
colored women in the Southern States;
632,000 are in manufactories, of whom
about one-half are in New York, Mas
sachusetts and Pennsylvania; 282,000
are milliners, etc.; 50,000 are tailors.
Os the 44 occupations recorded as
“personal service,” 40 find women in
them. The 525 female surgeons of
1870 have increased to 2,743; the 7
lawyers to 75; the 65 clergymen to
165. The number of laundries have
Increased from 61,000 In 1870 to 122,-
000, and of the latter 108,600 are kept
by women. This large increase shows
a great lightening of the housewife’s
labor.
According to the last United States
census there are 563 establishments in
this country devoted to the proprie
tary medicine business, employing 4,-
015 operatives, with an aggregate in
vestment of capital amounting to $lO,-
620,000, and the annual product is
valued at $14,682,000. New York
State leads all others with an invested
capital of $3,512,430, which is about
one-third of the entire country’s in
vestment. Pennsylvania comes next
and Missouri ranks third in invested
capita), followed respectively by Ohio
and Massachusetts. In the amount of
annual product New York again
stands first, followed in order by
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, the
other States standing about even. A
fair calculation is that about twenty
five American proprietary medicines
have at present a very large sale in
England.
The American Exhibition in Lon
don next summer promises to be a
success. The site is already engaged,
and occupies twenty acres near the
West Brompton station. The exhibits
will have for their aim the “showing
to the-Old World what the resources,
products, manufactures, and arts of
the United States are at the present
time.” Perhaps one of the most in
teresting parts of the Exhibition will
be the “American Garden,” in which
will be seen as complete a flora of the
United States as can be collected. The
trees, shrubs, and plants are to be ar
ranged according to longitude and lati
tude. In this way the student may
study local diversities in systematio
progression, and many flowers and
flowering shrubs will appear for the
first time away from their native habi
tat, A special newspaper, published
monthly, called the American Eagle, is
issued to promote and explain the ob
jects of the exhibition, which is ex
epected to form a leading attraction of
the next season.

THE TALK OF A DENTIST.
How All Work on the Teeth
Has Been Perfected.
Nearly a Ton of Gold Annually Buried
with Dead People
“A -on of gold goes under the
ground nearly every year,” said a
prominent Philadelphia dentist, “bur
ied In the teeth and plates of people
who have at one time or another been
in the dental chair. The repair and
refurnishment of the teeth has got to
be a profession of the highest skill and
proficiency. High standing in the
profession is repaid with richest re
wards. The establishment of the uni
versity department of dentistry has
given a great impetus to the study.
Scores of able and expert young men
matriculate annually. They come
from all parts of the world—South
America, Cuba, Mexico, the continent,
and Japan, This city is foremost in
dental operations and dental surgery.
Some of the work turned out here is
wonderfully perfect. Many men and
women prefer false teeth to the natu
ral ones, if the latter are the least bit
defective, and few people have a per
fect set of teeth.
“Instruments ?” Why, yes, the in
strumentation of a first-class dentist is
comprised in several large cases, like
that,” pointing to a series of handsome
rosewood cases, and pulling out draw
er after drawer, filled with delicate
steel probes, chisels, borers, and for
ceps. The manufacture of these is a
great trade in itself. There is the den
tal engine, one of the greatest inven
tions in the profession, indispensable
now, with its flexible screw. The elec
tric mallet, another modern invention
unknown to the old-fashioned tooth
carpenters, is used by nearly all den- j
tists and requiring a battery to run it.
The rubber dam or appliance placed
over the tooth and mouth of a patient
to prevent moisture and saliva reach
ing the part operated on is the great
est of the modern discoveries. Any
one who has been In the dentist’s chair
under thdold plan, which neeessitat
ted packing the mouth of the patient
with napkins, and since under the rub
ber dam, can see what, infinite torture
this scientific adaptation has relieved
him from.
"Twenty thousand dollars a yeai.
Yes, there are dental surgeons in this
city who make that much by their pro
fession. A clientage very often in
cludes a whole family and the care of
the teeth of eacli from infancy until
adolescence and beyond. American
dentists have the highest repute
abroad—Dr Evans, for instance,
whose patients in Paris and elsewhere
were empresses, kings, queens, and
princes of the blood.
‘•Gohl is the best material yet found
for filling teeth. Silver and composi
tion of various kinds, being cheaper,
are used, but the royal metal is the
only one which ought to be used. The
manufacture of gold foil or leaf for
our business is immense, and hundred
of thousands of dollars worth are con
sumed every year.
“The teeth should be looked to often
by a good dentist. Individual care
early in life saves much dental work
and expense. It used to be the idea
that the deciduous teeth, as they were
temporary affairs, needed no attention.
They should be treated with greater
attention than the second set. They
are not filled now* as much as formerly,
but extracted when caries attacks
them. The bibical expression, ‘skin
of the teeth,’ is true. There is a deli
cate enamel, resembling epidermis in
jts microscopic delicacy, and covers the
teeth with a beautiful mosaic, which
is susceptible of a perfect polish, which '
you may see glistening on the teeth of ’
some young people and Africans. Ac- i
ids go for this and once broken in up- '
on caries ensues. Good and bad teeth
are hereditary, but early care and pro
fessional skill will do much with even
» bad naturil set of teeth. A Phila
delphia father I know—client of mine

over the lavatory the following motto:
■Say your prayers; wash your face;

Schools and Press of Mexico.
It is a lamentable fact that but a
small portion of the Mexican people are
able to read and write. The total
number of illiterate persons is not defi
nitely known, there being no accurate
census returns to which references can
be made. The most reliable estimate
that catt be arrived at places the num
ber at 7,000,000, or fully two-thirds of
the entire population.
It is safe to say that of all the daily
papers published in the City of Mexico
no one of them has a circulation of'<soo
copies outside of the city of publication,
while it is more than probable that the
combined outside circulation of all tbe
dailies will not exceed that number.
I have been in a Mexican city of 12,000
inhabitants, where not a single copy of

by the entire native population, and
where not fifty newspapers of any kind
