BOTS.
Hnien a horse is attacked with hots,
Ik may be known by the occasional
nipping at their own sides and by red
pimples or projections on the inner
surface of the upper lip, which may
be seen plainly by turning up the lip.
First then take new milk, two quarts;
molasses, one quart and give the horse
the whole amount. Second, fifteen or
twenty minutes afterwards give very
warm sage tea, two quarts, and thirty
minutes after the tea, give of currier’s
oil three pints. Lard has been used,
when the oil could not be obtained,
with the same success. The cure will
be complete, as the milk and molasses
cause the hots to let go their hold, the
tea puckers them up, and the oil car
ries them entirely away. If you have
any doubt, one trial will satisfy you
perfectly. In places where the oil
cannot be obtained, substitute the
lard, adding three or four ounces of
salt with it. If no lard, dissolve a
double handful of salt in warm water,
three pints, and give all.
There is not a farm of one hundred
acres in the South upon which a dozen
sheep could not be kept without feed
ing during all the year, if they were
allowed the free range of the farm
during the winter, and the products of
that farm were properly diversified;
but such inattention is not the policy
to be adopted if the owner wishes to
realize a profit from his investment.
The sheep should be of the best qual
ity, and the number no greater than
the. farm can economically support,
and then if the owner gives them that
attention they deserve, there can be
no question but the income from the
investment will be greater than from
the same amount invested in any
other possible manner upon the farm.
Cut sweet potato vines when they
cover the ground, leaving about ten
inches near the root. They arc very
hard to cure, but with patience it may
be done. But the very best that can
be done with them is to feed green,
when they make excellent feed for
horses, mules, cows or hogs. They
arc, thus fed, especially fine for milk
cows. After they have been frost
bitten, it will not pay to save them.
They may be. piled up on a fence or
any other place, where they will cure
in from a week to ten days. But the
best time to feed them is when they
are green. Remember this and give
it a trial next fall.
To destroy bed bugs take one ounce
of corrosive sublimate to one pint of
alcohol; with the feather end of a
goosequill apply the remedy to all
the crevices and wood work; the
black dots will indicate where the
bug’s hotel is. The bottle should be
labeled poison, and placed where it
will not be used by mistake, or what
remains thrown away. No second
edition of bugs will issue after the
use of this infallible remedy. Any
druggist can mix it. A pint will be
enough for four beds.
To cure warts on horses, mules and
cows, make a strong solution of alum
and water; half a pound to a quart.
Wet the wart twice a day with this
solution. It is an effectual remedy
for warts on the teats of cows. These
warts are sometimes very troublesome
and tender, often bleeding, but the ap
plication of this solution will cure and
take them permanently off.
The fluid extract of catnip, or even
‘catnip tea,’ is a more efficacious and
certainly a safer remedy for irritable
babies than any soothing syrup or
other preparations containing opium.

A Sunday-school teacher has a boy
in her class who has not failed in his ;
penny contribution for more than a
year, and when he was found empty
handed last Sabbath the teacher ob
served :
“Why, Johnny, did you forget your
penny to-day?”
“No, ma’in,” he humbly replied, i
“but father says the new railroad will
do this town more good than fourteen
Sunday-schools, and I’m going to put
my coppers into that enterprise for
the next few weeks.”
“Won’t the heathen miss your pen
nies?” she queried.
“I s’pose they will, but we’ve all
got to come right down or this town
is busted.”
There is some humor in Texas. The
other day a man brought out a forlorn,
spavined-looking steed, and addressed
the spectators thus:
“Fellow-citizens, this is the famous
horse Dandy Jack. Look at him. lie’s
perfect. If he were, sent to the horse
maker nothing could be done for him.
What shall I have for the matchless
steed ?”
“What will you take for him?”
yelled the crowd.
“Two hundred dollars.”
“Live you #5.”
“Take him. Tihever let $195 stand
between me and no horse trade.”
That's business.
A woman was testifying in behalf
of her son, stating that he had worked
on the farm ever since he was born.
The lawyer who cross-examined her,
said: “You say your son has worked
on the. farm ever since he. was born?” I
“I do.” “What did he do the first
year?” “He milked.” The lawyer
wilted.

Some one (married, of course.) re
marks upou the strangeness of the <
fact, that while a woman takes to it ;
intuitively, very few men have the ;
slightest idea how to hold a baby. '
Quito true; aud it is even more extra-1
ordinary, when you come, to think !
about it, that fewer men ever want to
learn.
Its a common thing for men to say ;
when asked by their wives for a small
amount of change, “Money is tight,
my dear,” ami thus put them off. A
wife rather settled that question last
week by replying to her lord, “If you
didn’t go into so many 'tight’ places
it wouldn’t be so tight.”
A spread eagle orator, who wanted !
the wings of a bird to fly to every
village and hamlet in the broad laud, j
wilted when a naughty boy in the !
crowd sang out, “You'd be shot for a
goose, before you had got half a mile."
An exchange says a wife will hardly
ever notice whether her husband has
had his hair cut or not, but let him go
home with a strange hairpin in his
coat and she’ll sec it before he reaches
the gate.
If a young lady looks at you, don’t
imagine she is captivated by your
handsome personal appearance. We j
have seen them look mighty hard at a I
mule when the streets were muddy.
They say that the Indian name for :
editor is “Worakto-che-nesh-he-kaw.” I
That’s what wo always thought it was.'
It means ‘tired and hungry,’ probably, !
Habberton accounts for the foolish
ness of the small boy. “The small 1
hoy had a father, and his father was ;
once a small boy himself.
An exchange says: “When a man j
imagines that he is a prophet and a 1
philosopher, he takes to long hair i
and a dirty overcoat.”

■ Dirrctorv.’’
j The work, in active preparation now.
will be. carried forward under the firm
name of A. E. Sholes Co., aud will be

voluniw of nearly B<>o pages in about three
months from date.
The work will contain among its lead

and population of each, cnaractcr of the
surrounding country, with its leading

mination ami the resource* to make it.
typographically, the most substantial and

j The plan of the work was conceived and
partly <‘xccute«l some year’s ago, but for
I various reasons met with delavs. The
announcement of its publication at that
time meFwith the enthusiastic indorse
ment of the people and press of the State.

which will apply with equal force to the
work now announced, are herewith ap

OPINIONS OF THE PKESS.
The forthcoming volume of the Georgia
Gazetteer will be received with high favor
because of its intrinsic merit. It will meet
a long felt want, and at once take its posi
tion in every counting room, private ami
public library in the State, as a work of
I’ndurable value. From our knowledge of
the admirable arrangenn nt of the work,
as tar as progressed, ami the character of
the compiler, we heartily commend the
Gazetteer to the favorable attention of all
j intelligent persons within the limits of
Georgia and beyond.—Atlanta Constitu
tion.
Ihe work will be, in nianv important
respe< ts superior to anything of the kind
ever published in the South, and will be
I the largest ami most valuable statistical
: publication ever issued from the Southern
1 press. It rills our idea of an Encyclopedia
j of knowledge useful to all who’ have the
interests of Georgia at heart, or feel an
honest pride in tha evidence of Georgia’s
1 progress and welfare. Our merchants will
see nt a glance the unsurpassed facilities
such a wnrk offers as an advertising mo
dinin. \\ e trust this invaluable work will
1 receive the unlimited patronage it de
j serves. It is an honor to Southern enter
prise. That the volume will be a model of
i typographical elegance is assured by the
| Erankling Printing House
■ will do the printing and binding—Atlanta
j Herald.
3 he work will contain a mass of most
1 valuable information, and will be invalu
j aldo, not only to the residents of the
i S l ut . e ’ I,ut to abroad for the benefit
1 of those who may desire information as to
the business and resources of Georgia. It
, is an enterprise that will require immense
I labor and research, and one that should
be fostered aud liberallv encouraged. The
; subscription price of the work is rive dol
-1 lars, which seems a remarkably small sum
1 when the vast amouut of information the
work will contain and the great labor
1 necessary for its compilation are con
sidered.—Brunswick Appeal. apllO-lnj
