A COUNTRY HOUSE.
In tlie Horticulturist, for April wo tind the I
following plan and elevation ofa country house i
designed, by Charles Duggin Architect, of New
York city, and which Iras just been put up in
New Jersey. The material used for the wall of
the building erected, was concrete, with au c.\-
MS'" “*■ " w\ ■ ff£- - flß' g ' f ' I
In its ground plan it approaches somewhat 1
to the regular square form but the exterior is so
designed that each side presents an appea ranee '
totally distinct from the others. In this design
the height of the first Btory is eleven feet, of the
second nine, while the outside walls of the attic
rooms are four feet high, rising to eight feet six
inches in the centre, a foot added to the height
of the walls of both the first and second stories
would add to their comfort and might be taken
from the attic, the most important use of an up
per story in this climate being to keep those be

In the ground plan the entrance hall is eight
by nineteen feet, to the left, is the parlor with a
bay window in front, and a side window leading
to the verandah. The dimensions of the rooms
on this floor are shown in the plan. Back of the
parlor is a large dining room with the side win
dows opening upon a small covered balcony
which relieves the otherwise plain exterior of
this side of the building and makes a cool and
pleasant sitting place.
In the plan, the space back of the hall Is oc
cupied with a pantry, dumb water, sink and
closets all of which had better bo dispensed
with in our climate thus extending the main hall
through the house and admitting a free circula
tion of air. On the right of the main hall is the
library and sitting room, with a side hall be
tween, leading to the side verandah and garden
entrance. In this side hall is placed the stair
case, leaving the main hall unobstructed. The
arrangement of tho doors and windows in this
story is such that whou desired a fine draught
can be had across the house through the parlor,
hall and library; also through the dining room
and side hall, and if the pantry is removed with
a slight change in the position of tho doors |
THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
THE same spirit which animates the initiation of the
“ Southern Field and Firesides” namely—that the
South should rely on self for all her wants, has animated
the humble endeavors of the undersigned in their own
sphere. We deem it just as necessary to the pride, hap
piness and prosjwrity of the South, that her fair daughters
should be supplied within the borders of their own State
with everythin;.' that is elegant and durable, at a fair price,
as it la for the South to have her own manufacturing in
terests and literature. For tfiis purpose we have placed
in the Northern markets a man ot acknowledged taste
and mercantile experience, with unlimited means to im
port and purchase at auction our supplies, affording us
facilities (enjoyed by none in Georgia) which enables ns
to otter advantages to those desirous of spending their
money economically for good articles. All we desire and"
court is a fair, critical examination of our Goods and
prices, guaranteeing a saving of at least twenty-five per
cent, from the old credit system. We therefore respect
fully and cordially invite an examination of our stock
and'prices. ' GUAY & TURLKY.

Os the house erected, tho arrangement of the
second story is seen in tho plan, the bath room
is supplied with water from a tank directly over
it in .the attic. Tlierest of space is, in the
plan given, altogether too much cut up into
small rooms and closets. It would be far plea
santer if divided into four good rooms with a
small dressing room between the front chambers
opening into them and into the hall and which
might be used occasionally, if needed? as a bed
room. Certainly not more than two of the closets
should be.retained, and if required, let ward
robes be substituted thus giving a elianco for
ventilation. The attic has four large rooms of
the same size as those on the first floor between
two of which over the bath room, is a room en
closing the tank from which pipes lead to the
baths. These rooms are large and well lighted
and by providing proper ventilators above
through the roof, leaving a space between the
latter and tbeir ceiling, they will be found as
comfortable sleeping rooms as ordinary seeond
story rooms of full height if destitute of this pro
vision. They will thu3 render the rooms below
them always cool and pleasant. Here ample
closets should be provided for various household
purpose. With proper care not only the closets
but the whole house can be so built as to give
no harbor for rats and mice.
The cost of this house with a suit of good
•nsement rooms beneath for kitchen, servants,
<fce„ as built in New Jersey of concrete was
$6,250,00. Os wood without a basement the
expense would be considerably less. We hope
hearafter to offer other plans suited to those
who desire less accommodation, or to build less
I expensively than the one here given.

I do certify that I have been laboring under a disease
called Cancer, for about twenty years, from which I have
suffered a great deal for the last three or four years. It
became very annoying; several physicians have tried to
effect a cure and failed. Being informed, by reliable
sources, that Dr. Thompson could cure, I therefore put
myself under his treatment, and in a few weeks found
great relief and a permanent cure effected.

BLOODY MURRAIN.
Dr. D. Lee: You copied into your depart
ment of the first number of the Southern Field
and Fireside, an article from the Selma (Ala,)
Sentinel, stating the prevalence in tliat section of
bloody murrain. You ask if some gentleman in
the district where the fatal malady exists will
send you a description of its most prominent
symptoms. Presuming that any information
upon the subject will be acceptable, and pending
tliat you may receive from the infected quarter,
1 send'you what knowledge I possess of the dis- •
ease.
I cannot give you of murrain from
observation, for I never saw a case of it; but I
make a synopsis of that given by those who
have.
In tlie July, August, and October numbers of
the Albany (New York) Cultivator, of 1839,
i there are several letters I'rom practical and ex
-1 pcrienced farmers in various sections of the
country, treating of the subject, describing the |
disease, and suggesting preventives, but offering |
no remedies.
From Missouri, where the disease prevailed
to a very great extent tliat year, Mr. A. 11. F.
Payne writes to the Cultivator, and gives it as
his opinion that there is no positive, unfailing
cure for it; but that it may be occasionally cured.
He describes it as a " most painful, dreadful
disease;” the suffering animal passing blood
through the urine and bowels, or bleeding inter
nally But those that discharge suffer less titan
those that bleed iutenwlly—both types, howev
er, being equally fatal. He further states that
the spring and fall are the times at which it pre
vails most. The poorest or fattest are most lia
ble to be attacked, though there are exceptions.
That a fat cow or ox, or a poor one, to become
very hungry, and then very full, is apt to take
it; or a change of food from greeu to dry, or
from dry to green, will often cause the disease.
He gives no remedy, but recommends as a pre
ventive, regular feeding where stock is kept
ancle sed.
Judge Jonathan "Warren, of Ashtabula coun
ty, Ohio, a very intelligent gentleman and prac
tical farmer, in a letter to the late Judge Buel,
then editor of the Albany Cultivator, says: “The
bloody murrain is occasioned by an extended and
overflowing gall, affecting the liver, and causing
the leeches or bloodsuckers therein, and the flow
of blood outward or inward —and death follows.”
He further states that thq disease prevails
more in new countries than in old; and vastly
more with cattle that run in the woods than
those in enclosed pastures. And that old and
young, fat and Pan, the work ox and the milk
cow, all take it. But ho had none to die, which
he afterwards examined, but had extended galls.
Judge Warren gives no remedy; but says he
has used the following prescription as a preven
tive for eighteen or tweuty years, during which
time ho had lost no cattle by murrain:
“Wood ashes given in equal.quantities of salt at
the usual time.'of salting the cattle."
He also argues that the gall is some time in
accumulating, and that necessarily it must re
quire some time to diminish; and a few messes
of salt and ashes a year should not bo depend
ed upon, nor a cure expected when the liver is
rotten.
Mr. Leander Sackett, of Monroe county, Michi
gan, in a letter to Judge Buel, gives it as his
opinion that there is no remedy for this disease,
when once taken, but gives the following as a
preventive:
“ Mako a trough, and put it where your cattle
can have daily access to it, and mix equal por
tions of slaked lime and salt, and keep it always
there.”
For thirty years he had followed this prescrip
tion, and lost but one cow by this disease; pre
viously he lost from one to sixteen annually. .
I have never seen but two remedies suggested
for the cure of murrain. The first was a boun
tiful supply of tar, down „he throat. The sec
ond, two doses of a pound of sugar each, mixed with
Water. The latter is said to have cured the dis
ease in its last stage.
If, as Judge Warren remarked, the disease is
occasioned by “an extended gall,” doubtless
some remedy might be found efficacious. But
an ounce of preventive is worth a pound of
cure, and nothing can be easier done, or cheap
er, than the simple preventives here given.
Itgjl state that for nearly twenty years I
have acted upon the suggestion of salting plen
tifully all my cattle, old and young; and I have
never in that time lost a cow or ox from any
disease. During the prevalence of the sore or
black tongue, last summer, I had but one cow
affected, and that but slightly. I washed her
mouth with a strong decoction of tobacco, kept
her a few days in a dry pasture, and she was
well.
There seems to be a great reluctance general
ly on the part of planters to write for publica
tion their experience in diseases of stock, or
farming, but if they could be prevailed on to do
so, doubtless much light would be thrown on
this malady, and others.
Very respectfully, yours,
11. Raiford.
AVoodlawn, Jefferson co., June 6.
We are much obliged by the favor of the
above instructive letter; and it is to be hoped
that the hint in reference to “ the great reluc
tance on the part of planters to write for publi
cation their experience in diseases of stock or
farming,” will not be lost on our readers. This
unwillingness to impart as well as receive in
struction, is calculated to prevent all progress in
southern agriculture. Planters and stock-grow
ers must learn to teach one another, if they
'would add largely to the knowledge of each in
dividual. Give the thousands of readers of the
Southern Field the benefit of your experience,
or of your agricultural library. It is both liber
al and manly to teach as well as learn.

SOUTHERN FIELD AND FIRESIDE,
A LITERARY AND AGRICULTURAL PAPER,
Published Weekly, In Augusta, Georgia.
Dr. D. LEE, Agricultural Editor.
W. W. MANN, Literary Editor.
WM. N. WHITE Horticultural Editor.
Devoted to Agriculture, Literature, and Art It Is in
quarto form of eight pages, folio size—each issue con
taining forty columns of matter. In mechanical execu
tion, it is in the best style of the tyjiographical art In
utility, it will be all that the best agricultural science and
practical knowledge of the South can furnish. A weekly
visitor to the-homes of Southern Planters and Farmers,
it will be more useful and acceptable to them than any
monthly journal of equal merit
• In mental attractions, it will be all that a spirit of en
terprise on my part, and a laudable emulation on the phrt
of others, can evoke from Southern intellect and cultiva
tion.
Too long the Southern people have been content to look
to Northern periodicals for instruction in agricultural
matters, and to Northern literary pajiers for mental rec
reation. There is, however, a growing spirit of Inde
pendence ami of self-reliance at the South. Our people
arc awaking to the conviction that we have the elements
of success in the experience, knowledge, and scientific
investigation, of the dwellers in our own Southern homes.
The truth is gleaming upon us, that we have literary re
sources of own worthy to be fostered—that among South
