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. — Fanner ( neon. 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;. b!e business. 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.
