AGRiciJi/riiis % r. Fr*m lire Cultivator. Tlio Callle P agtio. Spaj.tar, Ga, Aig, 4, 1868. — There is in tbe Maryland Fanner, September No. pngs *275, an article headed the Cattle Plague. The writor seems to understand the disease, but not she remedy. I think you could not do a greater service to your readers than to publish the arliile, and the cer tain cure I will give below—one tbnt 1 have practiced with entire success for the last twenty years F.om the con dition of the cattle I sec, in iravolirg over the eonotry, 1 think butaftw know of the remedy. My opinion is, *hat the disease isproduc7d by bad pas tures, and run too long on the same pas lure. Getting low in flesh and unhealthy they are attacked by shingle tieVs i and in this oonditicn, ate neith-r fit for bets or milk ; will weigh on an average a* lekst one hundred, pounds less than healthy cattle—many will die i.t the fall, and many more dujing the winter. Many years ago, I spent one summer in Kentucky, aud in the rich lime land, 1 did not sec a tick—in the knob and mountain part there was any quantity of them. , Tbe remedy will cause a perfect cure, ot prevent the disease, (which is better) at an expense of not more than ‘2 to 4 cts. per head. It is a certain remedy-be sure to try it. Kiep the cattle from pah Com ton to fifteen days, then take 2 parts salt and one part ground sulphur, mix well and give your cattle all they will eat for four days in succession, until you j u their blood well charged with it.— In fifteen days repeat, and you will nev er fail to clean the last tick off One hundred lbs., will do per annum for two or three hundrel head of cattle ; and for every dollar spent for sulphur, you will get an inerese of fifty in beef, and that too of much better quali’y. Respectfully, DAVID DICKSON. We publish below the article referred toby Mr. Dicks m; Tub Cattle Plague.—An old Tex an writ’ng to tho Chicago Times gives the following hints in connection with the tick theory : '‘ihrst, ticks do not come from tbe weod, nor from the gras —as far as ap pearances arc concerned—but originate from some peculiar condition of tbe ani mal. “I have been daily among cows and calves for a dozen years or more and detached lrora tbe anim and, unless forci bly pulled off. Fat, healthy cattle and horses have very few or none. Poor, sickly animals always have them in abundance. Milch cows generally have their b dies more or less coveted with them. The first appearance of the tick, is a very minute insect—net moving abcu*, but fastened t) the bide, and thickly covering some portions of the animal’s body ; and there they remain until, having grown large, they are rub bed off, or picked off oy birds or fowls. Some old stock raisers insist that they originate in the blood ; and I have heard it affirmed by horse raisers that colts are born sometimes, literally covered with ticks. “Now, with these facts as hints per haps those investigating the matter may better understand the nature of the plague.’* The Times remarks editorially : “A cure for a disease does not al ways hinge upon an intimate aud com plete knowledge of its nature and causes; but in this case,it would seem as if it must do so. No one claims to know of any cure, nor does anybody attempt any. A single amnia l , or an entire beard, ever attacked, is consid eed lost. The people accept the dis ease as a fatal one, and act according ly, or, rather fail to act —accordingly. Gne or two papers have urged that green corn fed to a diseased animal, was beneficial; but there is no person to claim that it has effected a cure. In the one or two cases—those of young calves—in which recovery is said to have occurred, the fact that there was a heavy rain at the time, and that the calves stood knee deep in water, was alleged in explanati n : but no one had seen fit to experiment in the same way with other cattle.” The %Vlfe. Here ii the best Uibute to a true wo man we ever read; Only a woman be sure she is precious to her hnsbind—not useful, not valua hie, and not convenient simply, but lovely and beloved} let her be the recip ient of his polite and hearty attentions, let her feel that her cares and love arc noticed, appreciated and returned; let her opinion be arked, her approval sought, and her judgement respected in matters with which she is cognizant in short, let her only be loved, honored and cherished- in fulfilment of the mar riage vow, and she will be to her hus band, her cbilderu and soeiety a well sping of happiness. Sne will bear pain tnd toil and anxiety, for her hus band’s love to her is a tower and fortress. Shielded and sheltered therciu, adversi ty will have lost its sting. She may suffer, but sympathy will dull the edge of sorrow. A house with love in it—and by love I mean love expressed in word, and looks, and deeds, for 1 have not a spark of faith in love that never ernes out— is to a house without love as a person to a machine; one is life, the other is me chanism — the unloved woman just as ti dy as tho other, but tbe latter has a spring of beauty about her, • joyousness a penetrating brightness to which tbe former is an entire stranger. The d»ep happiness of her baart shines out in her face. Bhe gleams over. If is airy and g-aeerul, and warm, and welcoming with her presence; she is full of devices and plots, and swtel surprises fir her hus band and (ami y Slto has never done with the romanee and pootry of life She herself is a lyric poem, setting her self to all pure and gracious melodies. Humble household wajs and dut.es have for bor a golden significance. The prize makes her calling high ; and the end sanctifies the means. “Love is Heaven, Herven is love.” SS3 o HAVING made arrangements wiih the Tomlinson Deiiiorc*! -Co., are ntde to sell tiro, three, four and six horse Wagons, at a smill advance on New York cost.

ASIATIC CHOLEfiA IN CHINA. Almost Every Case Cured With I* .A. IIV KILLER. Read the following letter from Rev. R. Tel ford, Missionary to Chi a, now visiting his home in Pennsylvania : WasniKOTOX, Pa., June 25, 1866. Messrs. Perry Davis & Son, Providence, R. I.—Dear Sirs : During a residence of some ten years as a missionary in Siam and China, 1 found your Vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable remedy lor that fearful scoutge the ! cholera. In administering the medicine, I | found it most effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water sweet ened with sugar; >hen after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a tablespoonful of the same mixture every niiuute until relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to the ex tremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain Kil ler, clear, and rub the limbs briskly. 01 those who had the cholera and took the medicine faithfully in the way stated above, eight out of ten recovered. Truly yours, R. Tllford. In an attack with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or Cramp Cholic, don’t delay the use of the Pain Killer. Sold by all n.edicins dealers. Price 25 cents, 50 cents and #1 per bottle. Swxtow, China, Sept. 22, 1860. Messrs. Perry Davis & Son : Dear Shs—l ought to have acknowledged long ago the box of Pain Killer you had the goodness to send U 9 last year. Its coming was most prov idential. I believe hundreds of lives were saved, under God, by it. The cholera ap peared here soon after we received it. We resorted at once to the “Pain Killer,” using as directed for cholera. A list was kept of all to whom the “.Pain Killer” was giveD, and our native assistants assures us that eight out of every ten to whom it was prescribed re covered. It has, too, been very useful it! va rious other diseases. It has proved »n incal culable blessing to multitudes of poor people throughout all this region. Our native preach ers are never willing to go out on their ex cur-ions without a supply of the “Pain Kill -r.” It gives them favor in ihe eyes of the people, aud access to families and' localities oy »hom o'herwise they would be indiffer ently received. Believe me, dear sir, grate fully and faithfully yours, etc. J. M. Jchnson, Missionary in China apr3o’6Bly 1 mi i mm. WAREHOUSE J COMMISSION MERCHANT. DAWSON, GEO FARMERS, TAKE NOTICE!
