- Gawvrse A HorsE MEDICINES.— Generlly medicines are given to horses in She Sorm of a ball, because the administration of a drench is a more troubJesome affair, and in almost all cages more or Jess of the dose is wasted. Semetimes, however, a liquid medicine is 3o be preferred, as in colic or “gripes, when the urgent nature of the svmptems demands a rapidly-acting remedy, which 2 ball, from its requirinw time to dissolve, is not; and, besifles this, a ball can not contain any ‘of the spirituous cordials. ' The best smstrument for giviag a drench to a. harse, is, as an exchange suggests, the born of an ox, cut obliquely, so as to form u spout. ~ Bottles are sometimes wsed in an emergency, but their fraele nature always renders them danssreus. Omn giving a drench the ‘m:gne is held the same as for the deTiwveaw of a ball, but the head must be more elevated; the drench is then pourad into the throat, in small quanYithes, after which the tongué is let go, "t the bead is still kept up till it is all swallewed. The horse can not ‘swallow if the head is held too high, amnd the fluid is apt to enter the wind‘gipe and the lungs. Allowances should always be made for some waste _ip givingadrench. .

Hicm Feeprxe.—By allowing our MPM to eat all they can, we imevitably férce an _early and unmstaral maturity; or rather, we so meodify nature as to make early ma-

turity matural. . Foranimals which it mm to get ready for the shamWes as soon as possible, the Country Gentitmun argues, this early maturity s 2 decided advantage.”' It costs less %o kigh feed a hog eight or ten months than to half feed him eighteen or twenty months. - The same principle helds good with béeves or sheep. Contimucus high feeding of each and all produces not only cheaper meat, “ut meat of better quality than that wiichis half fattened and half starved. Faorcing feeding so that animals are wiways fat produces juicy, tender mesl of the highest excellence. It #Aoes something more. In the course «f a few generations it establishes a

%sllit of éarly maturity and creates a

breed whose chief value consists in #ts Gimess for the shambles. In Eng-

land most of the short-horn bullocks, mre brought to market at two years, while many are fatiened at eighteen

%o twenty months. But in accompiisking this result ‘the value. of the =nimal in other directions is almost ‘nécessarily/impaired. Thoroughbred Hulls gin are generally not sure hock-2 ; especially if they are of lreeds which.put on fat rapidly and are in high congdition. That there are

. Exmceplions to this law does not dis- | wweve its correctness. Our domestic .=mimmals are much more liable to dis- ~ =ase than formerly, and it is reasona- _ ¥ certain that high living is the czmse. A fast life produces the sams efiect on the domestic animal in the Larnyard as on men and women. % arm, stimulating food forces an ear- / 1y maturity which is not compatible . with prolificacy and longevity. Is it . mot possible that the unusual mortality anonghogs during the past few sears is owing to the habit induced %= high feeding for a number of generations pefore? The breeders of almest everx kind of improved stock suiffer their heaviest losses from dis- - ease and from the barrénness of many

of their otherwise choicest specimens.

TmMoTEY.—Mr. D. Morrow, in an address delivered before the Williams Oounty Farmers’ Club -on the culture of grasses, confines his remarks chiefIy to timothy, which is conceded the great staple for meadow. The best season of the year to sowtimothy, he says, is when the seed falls - from the stock, say from the middle of August to the middle of September, and thinks that any very great departure from this rule or supposed law of nature will be generally “attended with more or less loss of seed and time, and mot unfrequently with total failure. s rale is to sow a peck of good seed %o the acre. It will pay you the first crop for your extra ‘seed. Another advantage gained in thick sowing is, it forms a sod all over the ground before the June grass gets a hold, thereby keeping it back, enabling timothy ‘manure to last much longer, making a dense undergrowth which makes the guality better. The time for cutting timothy is still a controverted question by men of high attainments

in agriculture. Timothy, like most - wother things, is the better for being ripe, mot when it has commenced to bleach in the field, but as soon as the blossoms have fallen off. If cut at that time part of the seed will mature and the yield of hay will be heavy. A week or ten days is then added to the time for undergrowth, which in‘sures much more pasture at that period than any ¢ther during the season. - The quality is also believed to be improved. Timothy, like all other grasses, is charged highly with glutinous ~substances composed of starch, sugar, wil, &e, and combining what chemists _ «eall proteine. This vegetable product, whether procured in hay or grain, is held to be the most nutritious part of the food given to animals and is beBieved to have reached its greatest motumulation in the stalk of Timothy ’bast. the time the seed is in full size. _Any person who has mowed timothy j

e e ;»._7 : *!- R s e e ery'little of this gluten on his scythe. After the Blossom begins ‘o fail you will find a heavy coat of this gluten forming on your scythe, which indicates the presence of the ~greatest amount of this most indispensable nutriu}‘en‘t. There is more loss in letting timothy stand too' long than in*cuttingltoo early. Timothy ‘should not be cit too low—this ean easily be done on smooth meadows. The -proper place to cut is above the bulb or first joint, if cut below this enlargement, many of the stalks dry,out and die in a dry season and the roots never vegetate again. L e

. VALUE OF THE CLQVER CROP.— In the spring of 1869, Mr. O. M. Richards, of Wisconsin, sowed .twenty acres of clover, sowing it with oats, putting 10 pounds to the acre. After| the grain was cut the ‘clover made a remarkable growth; it headed out nicely and much of the seed matured sufficiently to grow. On the 13th of October following, he commenced to turn the clover under; it took good | teams and goad .plows to go through it. The next spring, says Mr. Richards, we planted it in corn and harvested 60 bushels per acre. The next spring plowed the ground and sowed in oats. This brought the seed sowed in 1869 to the surface; the result was ‘that he had the ground nicely)set to clover again. The oat crop was as 'good as we ever handled. The next season we cut two bouncing-crops of hay, thea plowed the ground in the fall. The: two following years, 1873 and 1874, we produced large -crops of corn. In 1875 sowed in oats .and again seeded in clover, sowing 10 pounds of seed per acre; raised-a heavy crop of oats and got a good. stand. of clover. In 13876 cut a heavy ciop ¢f hay the latter part of Jun;e; also secured four bushels of seed to the acre later in the season. - We~ are satisfied that that 20 acres 'is all right -and intend to cut a hay and- seed crop next season. In ;regard to plm\fing undeér gi‘een clover for a fertilizer, we preferto pasture it off with hogs. Tlink the benefit to the land is as great or greater, and you will get-paid for the clover; besides, would prefer to pasture the: same.land, when possible, two years in succession. Our experience in this direction has not been so extensive as it has in feeding green. So far.it has averaged as follows: An early crop of hay, cut by the 25th of June, worth $lO per acre; three bushels of seed secured in the fall at 87; threshed straw $3.. Total $34; from which -deduct.cost of harvesting and ‘threshing, $7, leaving $27 net. -We do not think the beénefit to land nearly so great as when the land is pastured. In conclusion he 'says, if you want to clean your land of weeds, sow clover, and sow it thick. 1f you want to grow big corn crops, grow clover; pasture off with hogs. Plow up the land the last of September or first of October, and the corn crop following will make you real happy. If you want to make srich farms and make money, and not, at the same time, worry about railroad freights and railroad laws, grow clover, corn and.hogs. o

BARKER STREET NOTES. " Dread old March has begun with a regular old-fashioned north-eastér, and chilling breezes reign in'air.

. The “Opium Care” numbng. There is probably no reader of THE BAxNER who has not heard 6t the wonderful “Colling’ Opium Cure,” manufactured and sold by Dr. 8. B. Collins, of LaPorte, and by Mrs. Drollinger, his former wife, and may be some of thewn have used the “cure,” and now they will be interested inlearning that it has utterly failed to stand th?iést of science and is set down by eminent medical men as a very dangerous and delusive humbug, as all such advertised nostrums undoubtedly are. ! In the proceedings of the August (1876) meeting of the Cumberland County (Me.) Medical Society is reported the result of some tests made by chemical analysis of various preparations advertised as opium cures, as follows: = - : :

% A preparation manufactured by Mrs. J. A. Drollinger, of LaPorte, Ind., was submitted to those eminent pra¢tical chemists, Walz & Stillwell, New York city, and one advertised by Dr. S. B. Collins, of LaPorte, Ind., “the Great Narcologist of the Age,” was analyzed by Dr.. Henry Carmiclmel,‘ Professor of Chemistry, in Bowdoin Collegeand State Assayer of Maine—the ablest analyst and highest chemical authority in the State. The result is precisely what has followed the analysis of other so-called “opium. cures.” The, eure was found to consist, itself, mainly of opium. ~Mrs. Drollinger’s consisted ‘'of morphine in zy:s(ﬂution of glycerine, colored with aniline — about seven grains to the oounce. “Dr.” Collins’ “cure” contained fourteen grains to the ounce.” ' ~ The philosophy of the cure is tl}us explained, and wé can readily understand how the duped victim rejoices in his ability to do without his accustomed allowaiice of opium when in reality he is consuming a double por-. tion of the deadly drug under the deceptive garb of a“cure.” A teaspoonful of the above preparation would be sure death to any one except an ha,biktual opium eater. We have no faithin narcotics for the cure of a perverted appetite. It Il]l\lst be accomplished, if at all, by the firmest of firma resolutions, backed up by an i,r\idomit.ab]e iwill, o - AR

—lere is a bit of proverbial philosophy from one of our exchapges which is'so true to life that we cannot refrain from transferring it to our columns, in thefhope that it may meet the eyés of some of those thoughtless individuals who are in the habit of borrowing THE BANNER, or asking credit, and thereby retarding the local interests of our community. Here it is, and don’t you forget it: “Persons who patronize papers should nay promptly, for the pecuniary progis'p,ects of the press have a peculiar power-in pushing forward publie pr@sperity. If the printer is paid promptly and his pocket book kept plethoric¢ by prompt paying patrons, he puts his pen to the paper in peace, his paragraphis are more pointed, he paints his pictures: of passing events in @ more pleasant color, and the perusal of his paper is more of pleasure to his people.” | -

Don Piatt’s Fiery Talk. | Col.-Donn Piatt, editor of the Washington Capital, was, on the 21st ult., indicted by the Grand Jury of the District of Columbia for inciting rebellion and insurrection, and was subsequently arrested and held to bail’in the sum of $5,000. The alleged seditious publication, a copy of which is embodied in ene of the counts, is contained in the‘following extract: “If a man thus returned to power can ride in safety from the Executive Mansion to the Capitol to be inaugurated, we are fitted for the slavery that will follow, the inauguration. We do not belie\g‘e the people of the United States aré of this setvile sort. We do not believe they are prepared without a blow 'to part with their hard-earned, blood-stained possessions.

Breathing Miasma Without Injury. . There is noexaggeration in the statement that thousands of persons residing frem one year’s end to another in fever and ague regions on this continent or elsewhere, breathe air more or less impregnated with miasma, without incurring the disease;, simply and only because they are in the habit of using Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters as a preventive. Ithas frequently happened, and the fact has been amply attested by -the parties themselves, that persons surrounded.on all sides by neighbors suffering the tortures of this shivering and burning ° plague, have enjoyed absolute immunity from it, .thanks to the protection afforded by the Bitters. Nor is that standard anti-febrile cordial less efficacious in remedying than in preventing chills and fever, billious remittents, and disorders of a kindred type. Taken between the paroxysms, it speedly mitigates their violence, and eventually prevents their recurrence. These facts, convineingly established by evidence, appeal with peculiar force to travelers and sojourners in malarioug districts. { : - 45-sw.

: SN e —— The Wabash and Erie Canal. {From the Logansport Journal.) The convention at Wabash, held on the 28th ult., seems to have been called with a view to the restoration of the canal as a means of navigatign. In the counties east of Cass orMiami, it seems to be accepted that the canal could be supported and wmade the means of facilitating and cheapening transportation. West of those points it seems pretty well demonstrated’ that the business given the canal would neither- make it remunerative or keep it up. At the convention two distinct interests were developed, one for the rebuilding-‘of the canal east from- Pery, and the other for a restoration to th® National Government of its rights in:the property s 0 tlrat justice might be done t(])gvns and individual land owners. 3oth objects are reasonable. A recovery of the government of the lands; and franchises granted the State might enable some company, under a new grant, to repair the canal east of Peru, and so dispose of the property west as to settle a question of ownership and jurisdiction now becoming serious. The property is claimed by a company under a purchase at a sale.under a decree for a very - inconsiderable sum. It has assumed ownership and protests cities and towns and individuals doing anything with it. In this city it protests the: council taking. any steps toward relieving the people of a damaging nuisance, | It claims possession of‘land within and upon farms for which the farmers pay tax. Opposing this claim, it is ‘asserted that the sale was of a property not owned by the canal trustees nor of the State —that the acts of Congress of 1824 and 1829, appropriating tlie land,were strictly . conditional, and that on the ces?tion of navigation the property reverted. These 'questions must be settled, and it is hoped that the ‘Wabash convention will be indorsed and sustained in bringing about the adjustment satisfactory to all. :
