Cure for Wart*.
Warts on cows’ teats are sometimes
difficult of cure, but have been remov¬
ed by applying once a day a liniment
composed of equal parts of sweet oil
and spirits of turpentine. Follow up
the applications for several weeks if
necessary. Should the teats becomb
sore have cots made for them and let
them be worn constantly except at
milking time. It is said that by
touching the tops of warts with a
very little muriatic acid night and
morning for several days a painless
cure can be effected. This is danger¬
ous to handle, however, and should be
kept in a glass bottle provided with a
ground glass stopper. It can be ap¬
plied with the tip of a small feather.
Great care should be used not to let
the acids touch any other parts than
the warts, and the bottle containing it
should be kept out of the reach of
children. The oil and turpentine is
much the safer remedy.
The Best Feed for Pin*.
The best feed for weaned young
pigs is potatoes boiled and ma died i
the water in which they are boiled,
thickened with barley meal. This is
given in reasonable quantities,and not
to overfeed the pigs. A young pig of
20 or 30 pounds needs no more of this
food than a pound a day, with a pint
of skimmed milk. It is altogether
wrong to give the pigs so much food
that they cannot hold any more. This
repletion leads to indigestion and pro¬
duces staggers and paralysis of th*
hind quarters; black teeth and other
supposed ailments follow from the dis¬
ordered stomach. It is easy to in¬
crease the food if found necessary, but
not to remove the injury done by giv
ing too much. As the pig grows very
fast the food needs to be increased in
proportion. The 300-pound 9-months
old pigs are never overfed, but are
fed just enough and no more. For a
300-pound pig 10 pounds of dry food
is ample for one day’s feediug .—New

Distributing Hen Mtnur.
The droppings from the hen roots
are a very stimulating fertilizer when
rotted sufficiently to go into fine pow¬
der* This can in small amounts be
applied in contact with seed, and if
fine enough may be drilled with it. A
very good practice is to mix hen ma¬
nure with the commercial fertilizers,
especially bone dissolved in sulphuric
add. There is usually some free acid
in the phosphate, which readily com¬
bines with the nitrogen in the hen
manure. If ashes are used in this
mixture it should be only when the
seed is about to be covered. We have
put dry wood ashes in the drill with
hen manure and phosphate, and believe
it a good practice. The ashes clean
the drill from sticky phosphate, and
though there is some smell of ammon¬
ia, indicating its loss, yet there is the
satisfaction of knowing that the ashes
are in contact with manure under the
soil, where no loss of ammonia can
occur. The very reasons why ashes
and manures should never be com¬
posted together above ground furnish
arguments to placing them in contact
with each other under the surface.—

Parasitic Disease iu
Lambs are subject to a parasitic
disease which is always fatal to them
if neglected. It is known among
ahepherds by the suggestive names of
"pining” and “paper skin.” and by
veterinarians as “anaemia,” or want of
blood. It is caused by a thread-worm,
which exists in the lungs and aii
passages, and interferes so much with
the breathing as to prev nt the due
aeration of the blood, and the nece -
sary supply of this vital fluid. The
^ 1 red , gi°bulcs , . , of ,
the blood are lacking; the blood is
pale, and the growth of the animal is
arrested. The skin appears white and
thin, like paper, and the young crea¬
tures are weak and pine away gradu¬
ally for want of adequate nutrition,
and finally die. A similar parasite
produces the disease in calves, known
as “husk,” or “hoose.” It affects !
lambs that graze in pastures with old
sheep; calves troubled which :
are are
fed with the cow, or upon , hay from
fields where older animals are pastured;
and young chicks which run upon
ground fouled by the hens, are apt to
get the gapes. To prevent it, this
chief cause is to be avoided, while to
cure it, the usual and effective remedy i
is to give small, repeated doses of !
turpentine. The following mixture is
recommended: , , m To one ounce of * mo
lasses, or linseed oil, add one-fourth of
an ounce of spirits of turpentine;
shake snake well well together together, and and trivo 1
give one one |
teaspoonful to each lamb early in the j
morning. For a calf, one tablespoon- ;
ful should be given an hour before
feeding .» i. , the .. . and , drop . I ]
in morning; one
may be given to a small chicken. The
ermedy should be repeated for a
week or ten. days, as it is necessary
that a sufficient quantity of the tur¬
pentine should be given to secure its
escape through the lungs of the
animal by exhalation. — American

Household Hint*.
To remove tarnish from silver, use
a solution of borax or soda.
To brighten a zinc bath-tub, throw
in a handful of salt, wet with vinegar,
and scour with a flannel cloth.
The grease that runs from a goose
wiien roasting should always be kept,
as it is particularly good to dress spin¬
ach with.
Never place fresh eggs near lard,
fruit, cheese, fish, or other articles from
which any odor arises. The eggs are
extremely active in absorbing power,
and in a very short time they are con¬
taminated by the particles of objects
in their neighborhood, by which the j
peculiar and exquisite taste of a new.
laid egg is destroyed.

Seasickness.
Seasickness, iu the main, is caused by
the rapidly-varying pressure of blood on
the brain, due to the upward and down¬
ward motion of the chip. As the ship
descends into the trough of the wave the
pressure increases; as she rises to the
crest the pressure diminishes, and nausea
is the natural and ordinary consequence
of a sudden rush ot blood from the
brain. Great relief may be obtained by
lying on the side, with the head resting
on the breast and the knees drawn up as
near as possible to the chin. In this po¬
sition the variation in the pressure of
blood on the brain is reduced to a mini¬
mum, and the stomach and its nerves in
a great measure are protected from the
vibrations of the ship.

Emerson was born at Belfast in 1846. fie
began his career with Joe Sweeney’s Later min¬

jumped into prominence in connection with
Newcomb’s minstrels, with whom he visited
Germany. He visited Australia in 1874, and
on his return to America joined^ Haverley’s
minstrels in San Francisco at $500 a week
and expenses. With this troupe he played be¬
fore her majesty, the queen, the Prince of
Wales, and royalty Standard generally. theatre, After this
trip he leased the San
Francisco, where for three years he did the
largest business ever known to minstreisy.
In April last, he went to Australia again,
where he has “beaten the record.”
“Billy” is a very handsome fellow, an ex¬
cellent singer, dances gracefully, and is a
true humorist.
“Yes, sir, I have traveled all over tfc

contact with all sorts of customs, and had
