ISo!a la Eforces,
Farcy sys : “In twenty-seven yea-s
tiu.e l never had a horse to die of* the
hots. I believe that almost everybody
is convinced that the hots come from
eggs or nits which are desposited upon
the horse's hair by that trouble ome fly
resembling a bee in color. This basal/,
ways been my opinion. Now it is gen
erally known that a horse that has the
hots does not appear to suffer until he
is too lar gone to be cured. To prevent
fatal effects of disease, I have made it
a practice to give my horse’s in the
month of Berber, the following rem
edy :
Of olive oil, honey and lemon juice
each two ounces and a half; mix and
give these to the horses; the next day
purge well. Whether a horse be inclined
or not to have the bets, this remedy will
do Tim no harm.”
A correspondent f the department of
agriculture says ;
“It appears from remarks of different
writers that none know of any certain
remedy. I know of a remedy that is safe
and certain, discovered in the following
way.
‘■About thirty yerrs ago, a friend of
mine lost, by bots a fine horse. He took
from the stomach of the dead animal
about a gill of bots and brought them to
my office to experiment upon.
He made preparations of every rcm
cdy lie had ever heard of and put
sumo of them iut) each.
Most of them had no effect, a few affect
ed them slightly, but sage tea more than
anything else, killing them in 15 hours,
t.c concluded that he would kill them
with nitric acid, but it had no more ef
fect upon ‘hem than water ; the third
day they were as lively as when put ir.
A bunch of tanzy was growing by my
office. lie took a handful of that,
bruised, and added a little water, then
squeezed out the juice and put some in;
they were dead in one minute. Since
then I have given u to every horse I
have seen affected with bots, and I have
never known it to fail of giving entire
relief. My friend had another horse af
fected with botsscve:a' years later. He
gave him a dose of tanzy in the morn
ing, and a dose of salt in the evening.—
The next morning he took up from the
excretions three half-pints of bots. —

Farming is the changing of irate*
vial (manure) into grass and grain, and
t hence into pork, beef, wool, etc. When
the land is purchased, it is this raw
material (fertility) that is paid for; that
alone is the value. The rest is mere
sand, or clay, or rock. The object of
the farmer should be to secure his ma
terial as cheap as he ci n, and uso as
much as he can, always keeping his ma
chine, the farm, in good working order,
mellow, well drained and clean. Instead
of theis, we arc not too apt to abuse the
machine. The object ot the farmer,
then must always be manure, fertility
how he can get this raw material cheap,
est, and work it best icto grain, grass,
etc., and thence into other produces,
such as are of advantage to him. The
best farmer is he who raises the best
and largest crops on the smalles 1 surface
of land at the least expense, and at the
same time annually improves his soil ;
who understands his business an 1 attends
to it; whose manure heap is very large
and always incicasing; whose corncrib
ands mokchouse are at° home ; who is
surrounded by all the necessaries and
comforts of life ; who studies his pro
fession and strives to reach perfection
in it; who keeps a strict account of his
outgoes as well as his incomes, and who
knows how he stands at the end of
each season. Such a farmer, nine times
out of ten, will succeed, and not only
make farming a pleasant but a profit;.

Hungarian Grass for Cows —
The following is the testimony of l)r.
Doling, respecting hungarian grass :
l believe l can make mo.c milk with
this grass, cut and mixed with cornmeal
and shorts, than I can with the best
timothy hay cut and mixed in same man*
ner. And when you can remember that
you can raise on ordinary lands, by sow
ing the seed of hungarian grass late in
June, from two and a half lo three and
a half fers of good fodder to the acre,
and that this cuoj can be sown rf.er we
have ascertained whether we are to have
a good crop of hay or not, you will see
the valud of this grass. 1 have so big 1
an opinion of it that on my own farm i
hive this year and last year raised
frum seventy-five to one hundred tons of
it. for the purpose of reeding my own
cows during the winter.
