eOL\s^. Wolf Teeth in Horses. The so called wolf teeth are in themselves harmless enough, yet the popular prejudice has a foundation which it would bo well for horsemen not to ignore. Most diseases of the eyes occur at that period of life when the milk teeth are being most rapidly shed and the permanent teeth are coming up. To suppose that a horse suffers nothing in cutting his teeth is a great mistake, as is shown by the frcqnentl}’ slow and painful mastication of some young animals, by dropping of food occasionally in a half-chewcd condition, and by the heat, redness and swelling of the palate and gum*. That red, swollen and tender state of the roof of the mouth behind the front teeth, familiarly known as “ lampas,” is but an indication of his teething trouble, and in not a few instances it renders the ani mals feverish, weak, and. by virtue of the general congestion of the head, strongly pre disposed to inflammation of the eyes. The wolf teetli are in the mouth during the greater part of this period of teething, and arc usually shed toward its completion ; so that, once it is hinted that these are the cause of trouble with the eyes, the owner, looking into the mouth, seems to find ample confirmation of the statement. The wolf teeth are, however, the most harmless ii. the mouth, having long ago reached their full development, and are but slightly inserted in their sockets, while the great and dangerous irritation attends on the cutting of the large grinding teeth, and, in the male, of the tushes. The presence of the wolf teeth in the mouth at this time is an accident and not an injury. The temporary recovery often following their removal would have taken place all the same had they been left in the mouth, and a later attack is just as likely as if they were present. The excite ment attending on teething is natural; what we should guard against is excess. Any costiveness of the bowels should be corrected by the feeding, or, if necessarj', by one ounce of Glauber’s salt daily. Teeth pressing painfully beneath tense, res'stant, painful gums indicate the need of the lancet; teeth entangled on the crowns of their successors should he removed ; all excessive swelling, redness and tenderness of the gums demand lancing. The Loss of Ammonia. The loss of ammonia in manures is a question frequently discussed. The experi ment of Dr. Voeloker with fresh horse mhnure, gathered from the stables before being mixed IP O with the heaps, will, no doubt, interest and surprise many. I none experiment the amount of ammonia, which was drawn out bv long continued boiling, amounted to G.G pounds per ton, which, at twenty cents per pound, would amount to sl.u2 per ton. The loss, however, on the land would not amount to a quantity anything like this, for in such case the ammonia was extracted was boiling water. A second experiment, with a sample of hot, fermenting horse manure, emitting a strong and pungent odor, lost in like manner less than two pounds per ton, or 29 2-10 cents in value. As the excrement, even as hot as this, ■is soon cooled when spread upon the ground, and as the fresh earth absorbs the ammonia ver} 7 rapidly, these experiments would in dicate a loss in practice of too small a value to be taken into account, when the con venience of time is taken into consideration. A large majority ofour farmers are frequently deterred from drawing out manure at times when the hauling would cost very little, on account of the teams standing idle in the barns, for fear of loss by exposure, but so small a loss should never be considered when a question of convenience arises. Strawberry Culture. The best implement for cutting strawberry ruuners i9 a common hoe kept very sharp. With this, the runners can be cut while hoeing with very little extra labor. But if any one wants a special tool for the work, the best I ever saw was simply a piece of an old saw blade made in diameter. To the upper side three iron braces riveted, which are fastened to a wooden handle three to four feet long ; an old fork handle is good. The lower edge is kept sharp and by striking down over a hill of strawberries every runner may be cut at one blow, and a bed gone over in a very short time. Clean off the strawberry beds and fork in a good supply of woods mold mixed with a very small quantity of well-rotted manure. After the plants have been thinned and hood lay straw between the rows to protect the fruit from beating rains. After reading all that has been written by the best authorities on the subject of deep and shallow ploughing the farmer must still be guided by his own judgment. In some soils it would be ruinous to plough deep. Where there is a rich soil four or five inches deep, immediately underlaid with the same depth of sand or gravel, to plough deep vould be to exchange a good soil for a poor one. In all soils of this kind go down gradually, and enrich as you go. For all grasses except clover, wheat, barley and oats, the richest soil must be on the top to give the best re sults. Poison oak is regarded as one of the worst skin poisons known, often baffling the skill of the best phj'sicians and remedies, and costing large expenditures of money and time, saying nothing of the suffering of the afflicted. The remedy is so simple and cheap that none need fear it. Make a strong tea of brown straw, (cops and roots when green.) and when the tops are dry, make the tea of the green roots, then bathe the afflicted part or parts often each day for three or four days; do nothing else, ami the poison will be entirely gSAFg) I BitterSl PURELY VECETABLE^^U Olliers, lVives l>a lighter*,-Son*, Fa thers, ministers, 'l’eaeliers, Itusines* lien, Fnrmers m-elisiies.
