The cure prescribed is swidiing with softening oil—camphor»ed sweet oil is very good for the puipese, but the main -thing is the rubling, which should be gently but Jump remains 1 the bag. A common practice is to strip the milk as dry as possible and let the hungry calf butt and sack down the swelling. This, however, is a rude process, and the Lwiting sometimes causes inflamma-

Freguently cows are sick, having

colé horns and ears, and -eat very . sparingly of food.” The diseases pro- " «ducing this effect are mostly all called hollow horns; and with many farmers the remedy is boring holes in the ‘horss, which is of doubtful utility. With cows thus affected gentle treatment is decidedly the best, and the -painfal process of boring the cow’s horms does. more harm than good. Take strong vinegar and tu%entine,’ each one gill, heat them together, add . @ B=if zill of salt and pepper, and ‘ruibs the cow’s head well dround the roots of the horns ashot? as. can be Boirme with the hand.

If camsed by this, it ‘will be cured by feading hay entirely freed from dust, mold, ete. But, from long experience wlth horses taking sudden and severe ralds, which frequently leave a cough, I have found nothing equal to steamed - ‘food as a gure. It is well known . Ihat tarning a horse to succulent grass in pasturd, will generally cure a . cough and greatly relieve the heaves, bt cooked food has. a much greater =Fact upon both. I have cured sever=l horses with incipient heaves by steamed food, abd never knew a cough that #éuld not yield to it.— Steaming prévents all ill “effects from dust, and also sweetens mow-hurt hay, musty straw, corn stalks, etc,, and render them healthy food. When #ne has no steaming apparatus for ~ vooking food for stock, a hot bran < @mash, with a bag put over the pail snd brought up under the horse’s _ “sead, so as to keep in the steam while be is eating it, will sometimes relieve = cough and cold, but the horse should e kept warm after this application.”

A RecieE TesTED.—A Pecksburg omrespondent of the Jndiana Farmer, having noticed that several writers on the subject 'recommengied keeping ‘hogs on floored pens as a safeguard mgamst cholera, writes to that journal, saving:’' “I have had some experience ‘whiich does not confirm that manner of preventive. I had some October pigs that I wished to winter in gopd shape, and put/ them in a new hog house on a plank floor. When they were about two months old they all took the cholera at once. There were mo other hogs affected in the neighborhood at that time, and in two weeks mare I was not the owner of that ot of pigs. Neither was anyone eise, in two or three days after they were taken.sick. It commenced on a Bamch of older ones (about six months wid), that were running in the pasture. 'As soon as I found they had the chol-

era, I determined to try the virtue of -4 compound, the recipe of which I <lipped from your: paper, which is as follows: One pound of assafeetida, ene pound sulphur, one pound madder, one pound saltpeter, one pound Adae vitriol, oné pound resin, half pound black antimony, two ‘ounces arsenic, one pound copperas; mixed and given ti¥ice a day, a tablespoonful 1o five hogs when affected, the same 1o tem or twelve hogsas a preventive. This cured all of my older ones, and mot one ook sick after I fed the first duse. Baut it did my{,pigs' .mo good at il that I could see.

DrrcalNG.—Spring is close at hand, . Soon the warm sun will call forth the budding leaves and spring flowers. AN mature will be clothed in living green, which will cause the people to rejoicg. Bt to the people of many Jocalities in this country there' is 3 _drawback—a checkmate to ‘all*this | plessantness. With the|coming of 'ue Jeaves and flowers" there alsé comes a super-abundance of water i 3 the shape of protraeted and drizzling rains which, if not prepared for, frequently destroys the farmer’s pros- _ pects for summer crops, and of laying up of his winter's store; though this, .mwmmmmka, 2 mot w the case.

ﬁﬁﬁ, and will gather. around the door of the farmer’s dwelling, to his no little annoyance, and deluge his fields, if permitted to do so. Water is Very affectionate in its caresses. It never fails to greet those who are too lazy or indifferent to prepare a way for escape; and, on 'the other hand, it never fails to bid adieu to those who are thoughtful enough to construct channels or ditches through. which it-can ripple onward to the mother of waters. In short, ditching is what is necessary to complete the farming facilities of this country, and when the people become conversant with their own ‘interests, they will see this and act accordingly. Now is. ‘an excellent time to prepare for the coming rains.” Open up the way'of escape for the coming waters, and they will not smother your budding | érops or dampen your jubilant spirits with bitter thoughts of the future ‘and hard times. More than half of the failures among farmers in this country is owing to the drowning out of their crops by heavy- rains, and by a little care, a little forethought, and a little extra labor, in. the way of coustructing ditches, the -most of these failures on this account, can be avoided. Try it and see if it will not work. It can do no harm if it does not cure.

OUR KANSAS LETTER.

GREAT BEND., Kan., March 18 To the Editor of The National Banner: .

After a silence of a few weeks, we again undertake the pleasant duty of penuing you a few lines for the gratification of those of your many readers who seem to také an interest 1n the affairs of the West. In reviewing the doings of the past .few weeks, we are painfully reminded of the frailties of man, and especially of that class of (would-be) men who constitute the politicians of our land.! “A.J.” truly expressed our sentiments when he said, “We’re sick of ’em,” and not without cause either. Well, let’s try to keep out of'bad company in the future, and profit by thelesson.so*f the past. We thank you, “A.J.” for your kind wishes to-us-ward 'and sincerely hope your remaining *visual” may serve its every purpose for you while life shall last.’ o d .

During the past week or two it’s been so exceedingly Hayesy that an honest man could not see'through the fog, and our w'eatllqrfbo'ss, being an honest man, had to take his chances; consequently we had another “cold snap,” Cabbage, tomato, and other plants, which our industrious wives were S 0 carefully nursing and coaxing along, so as to procure_early vegetables, were forced to succumb to the icy ghip of oid Jack Frost. However, fine, warm days are again quite frequent. . The mercury rose to 78° today, and as we -walked out over the prairie we were greeted by .the sight of fine, fresh spring flowers, and we sang, o . ) . *“The spring-time comes, gentle Anna, And the wild flowers are scattered o’er the plain.” Now, if we could -only get sight of a rattlesnake we would -believe that Spring had verily come in earnest, in spite of Hayes, or that other ground= hog. bt - l “Billy Button”!seems to take a special interest in “Kansas mammouth peas.” Sorry, Billy, that we can’t accommodate you; but you know it’s against the rules to send packages of over four pounds’ weight'by mail, and it would n’t do to dissect them.” We think it would be more agreeable to the “pea” to be sent by (ex)press. Well, Ai B. M. is happy again, and little “Peggy” is doing right well. - “Go in en your muscle,” Casey. I’d rather be caught wheeling “Shorty” than to be identified with his rascally party. S N. 0.

' IN A VEIN of humor the New York World inquires: Does Mr. Hayes rec--ollect how Henry Clay, when he was in Washington, once had some funwith a goat? No! Then we will tell him. Mr. Clay observed a knot of street Arabs on pleasurable thoughts intent gathering round a goat that was dozing in the sun and rolling an old boot like a-sweet morsel under his tongue. *What's up, boys?” he said affably. “We're a-going to'have some, fun with the goat,” replied the urchins. The great Whig statesman looked up and down the street; no one was in sight. e loved fun, but had never enjoyed-it in-.connection with g goat. “Boys,” said he, “I be“lieve I will have a little fun -with #that goat, too; how do you get it out “of him?” “Grab him by the horns,” ‘éxplained a boy; and with the divine confidence ‘of Robinson Crusoe or a Mason of the thirty-third degree, Mr. Clay seized the goat. It was a powerful goat with an abiding love of liberty, and it was pretty doubtful for a while whether the goat’s horns would come off or Mr. Clay’s arms be torn out of their sockets. “Boys,” panted Mr. Clay, “boys—what—do—l—do—next?” “Do next?” replied the boys; taking refuge behind lamp-posts, ashbarrels and. similar fortresses, “why, let go of them horns and run like blazes!” Mr. Hayes’ dilemm# has got two horns, like the goat. He had better let go -of them both and “run like, blazes.”. :

BLAINE and the notorious corruptionist, John J. Patterson, are anxious to have another election in. Louisiana ‘and South Carolina, The World, in uvoticing this fact, wants. to know whether - these worthies have ever heard of Sherman’s bummer’s game of seven-up for a chicken? A loyal citizen had just come into camp and disposed of all hi§ chickens but one, For that-he could find no purchaser, The bummer in question offeréed to play the loyal citizen a game of sevenup for it. The proposition was accepted, and, after a tremendous strug‘gle, the bummer turned a jack from the bottom of the pack and won. The loyal citizen paid over the stake, mounted his mule, and rode away, but returned almost, immediately, and with the air of one seeking enlight enment said: “You played a mighty “ good game, and the chicken’s yours, “but what I want to know is this—“what 'n thunder did you bet against “that chicken ?” What do John Sher‘han’s bummers propose to stake against our chicken? . .

!mﬂ : T : ,I! !!!! !! V”.z FROM WASHINGTON, (SENATOR LAMAR'S ILLNESS. The news that Senator Lamar is lying seriously ill at Washington will excite universal regret. No man has, won a more desirable fame or won it by more creditable means in this country dug‘;ng the last decade; and good men of all parties will;unite in the hope that-he may long live to serye his country and his State. g NO POLF{ICIANS NEED APPLY. || | Secretary Schurz has netified all fhe heads of bureaus of the Intérior Department that during his administration of ity affairs there will be no re‘movals of clerks or other employes | except “for cause,” and no promotions except “for merit.” It will therefore be useless for the department to receive, or for persons to file, papers soliciting clerical appointments or promotions on’i merely personal or politieal grounds, and in addition to this general notification it can be stated’ that there are .at present’ absolutely no vacancies of any kind' to be filled. . WANTS HIS REWARD. - The claims of J. Madison Wells and family. now before the 'Southern Claims ~Commission —— composed of* Judges Aldis, ferris and Howell, who have just been reappointed by Hayes %ﬁmount to the enormous sum of #692,013, for property alleged to be destroyed, cotton seized, &ec. The. -claims as filed are distributed as, follows: J. Madison Wells, $450,658; Fannie M. and Ida F. Wells, $221,405 ; estate of Michael B. Wells, $1,160; est tate of Mrs. M. L. Wells, $18,790. The history of this claim appears in the testimony taken by the Morrison commsit,tee in Louisiana in January last, which shows conclusively that Wells did .not own the cotton wlich he ‘makes claim to, but that in fact it belunged to other parties, who employed - Wells to assume the ownership and -collect the money. The claim has .been rejected by Cbhgress, and: has been for some time -pending before the Commission. It was intimated to Wells during the canvassing in Louisiana that if he would count Hayes “in this claim would be paid.

RADICAL SCHEME TO CAPTURE THE - HOUSE. g

The coming extra session has probably given. some life to the gossip ‘which. has prevailed with certain Republicans ever since Hayes was inaugurated, that there will be a coall tion of the Republicans and some Southern Democrats to elect a Southern Democrat with Hayes variations as Speaker, whatever fhat may mean and whoever he may be, and McPherson, of Pennsylvania, the old Republican incumbent, as Clerk of the House. The story seems to be one of those idle inventions for which no one is responsible and which will come to naight. Chas. Foster, whose name is mentioned in connection with it, left for Ohio ten days ago, but stated before his departure that he had made no overtur®s of the kind to any one, and had received none, and that the Republicans doubted if it-was possible for them to organize the House, with the power now vested in the Clerk to make up the list of members. If the Clerk should simply follow the rulings of McPherson; the Democrats will then have a-majority of eleven, but he would be justified in going further under the act of a republican Congress, whichj promises to return now to plague the inventor. {No combination, it is believed, can upset the positive .democratic majority which now appears. ) H}&YES’ SOUTHERN POLICY.

Senator Gordon, of Georgia, at-the invi‘%_at-ion of Mr. Hayes, held a long conference with him at the White. House on Thursday night in reference to the Southern question. Senator Lamar and Messrs. I.evy and Ellis, of Louisiana, were also present.- Senator Gordon said{ “Mr. President, if you will withdraw the troops from the State-House in South Carolina and Louisiana I will give you any sort of guarantee that not only shall the peéace not be disturbed, but that Packard and Chamberlain may. ,remain in the State-Houses, With all the territory they can command and with all the offices they can’induce parties to accept. I will further guarantee, if it be required, that neither Chamberlain nor Packard shall be proceeded against even'by eivil processes through the courts, to eject them from their positions; but they shall be left to maintain themselves undisturbed so long as they can raise money to pay their expenses. Taxation would in my opinion settle ;the question very.soon.” 2 To this Mr. Hayes made no specific response, but after further conversation he expressed in earnest terms his desire and purpose to bring about some satisfactory solution as soon asg possible. He said that the difficulty. had been at white heat for sixteen years, and it ought not.to be considered any great delay if it required sixteen days to get through with it ina satisfactory way. He expressed his belief that the problem was not so hard to solve as a great many persons supposed. . : |

The Goshen Democrat says: “According to the new law, lands sold for taxes can be redeemed in six months at 15 per cent. on the bid; if within one year, 20 per cent.; if within two years, 40 per cent.

Dorney, Past Supreme Chief, and J. K. Phillips, Treasurer of the Camp of the Order of Caucasians in this city, bave been interviewed concerning the Chico massacre. . They repudiate the idea that the order is in any way responsible for'the crime, claiming that, on the contrary, it will use all the means possible to discover and punish the offenders. They assign as a reason for the outrage recently committed at Chico that a number of white men who had been;employed in a sash and blind factory’ there were discharged and. Chinamen hired in their places; that under the incentive of poverty and lack of employment, they became dissatisfied with the slow and peaceful workings of the Order of Caucasians, to -which they belonged, and some of them formed an anti-coolie club, to whose influence, directly or indirectly, the recent tragedy is largely due. They claim that the Camp of Caucasians at Chico is composed of the most respectable men in the town and that the Order in California numbers about 7,000 and about that number in Nevada. A S
