Rary says: "In twenty-seven years time I never hail a horse to die of the hots. 1 believe that Almost everybody iseonvineed that the hots eomo from eggs or nits which are deposited upon the horse's hair by that troublesome ily resembling a bee Jn color. Tills has always beea my -opinion. Now it is generally known that a horse that lias the bots does not appear to suffer until he is too far gone to bo cure i. To nrevent fntnl effects of disease, 1 have mmlo it a practice to glvo my horses, in the month of September, the following remedy: "Of olive oil, honey, and lemon juice, each two ounces and a half: mix and give those to the Imrse; the next day purgo well. Whether n horse ho incline 1 or n ?t to have the hots, this remedy will do him no harm." A correspondent of the Department of Agriculture says : "Jt appears from remarks of differ, cat writ?'? . ? thai none kaowof any cor. tain roine ly, 1 know of a remedy thut is safe and certain, discovered in the following way: "About thirty years ago, n friend of mine lost by bo;s, a lino horse.

Tho next morning he took up from the exeretions three half pints of bots."?l'^tr merit' I until, Muu:s rou i'aiim \\\>uk. A correspondent of the .inurii'iut Farm ,Journal tints strongly states the superiority of mules over horses for farm work in the {South. Tito subject is worthy the attention of liorthern farmers: "Mules on an aveiage are inoro valuable than horses, arc inoro easily raised, tire not so subject to disease, arc not likely to run away in wagoning and ploughing, arc longer lived, will do more work and requiro loss feed and attention; they arc strongor, will draw a heavier load and stand a great deal more hardships, and are in every way preferable to the horse for general farm use. Mules come in earlier, being ready for light work when three years ?> 1?I. They will then do enough work on tho farm to pay for b ed ; after having attained t lie ago of four years, they are ready for any Kiuuoi Hcrviir, inn ine norso (colt.) must bo kept, until ho is four years old, before lie is worked at all, and when lie is four he must he a lirst-rate colt to bring as niueli as the mule will at two years old. Hut assume tlio animals are both required lor farm work, see what a dilTereneo thero is in favor of the mule. The working life of the nm!e can be safely estimated at thirty years, and that of a horse at ten years. Bo while a mule is working its life out, three horses will be required to do equal sendee. Hut these are not t he only items. The saving of feed is at least one-fourth, or not less that ?'.17 bushels of eorn, and 127 tons of hay. These amounts, added to the originn 1 saving in purehuso of animals, show an advantage in favor of tho use of the mule o\er the horse of over $1,000 during the ordinary life of the animal. The mule is less dainty about food, ungroun 1 grain and dry feed being just t lie thing for him. IIoLt.ow IfoitN. This names is used to designate tlje symptoms of a variety of diseases. This represents no particular disease, and Is as indefinite as the term "sickness." The horn of an ox is fill I with a highly sensitive and vaseular core, which is a prolongation of the frontal hone, and serves as a support to the horn. The horn is composed of the same materials as the skin and hair, and is not, sensitive. It maybe remove 1, leaving the core in its place, ami is then hollow, ns we are used to see it when separated from the head. These horn cores are well supplied wit h arteries,veI ns and nerves, and whenever front any cause the tissues of the head are iutlamcd or congested, the increased temperature of the parts is then felt in the horns more readily than elsewhere. When tho contrary occurs, and from poverty or excitem nt elsewhere, tho supply of blood to the head is diminished, tlio loss of heat is felt tlrst in the horns, and they are Cold.

Really skillful physicians are not so numerous that their virtues need no mention, and hence I he. advertisement of Dr. U. V. Pierce, of IhmMo, may well claim the reader's attention. Dr. fierce is a type of a class of men who obtain success by careful and well directed effort. not attempting too much, or creating false ideas as to ability. The only reliable physician in these days of complicated disorders and lugli-pressure living is the "Specialist,'' the man who understands his one branch of the business. Such in his lino is Dr. Pierce. For the benefit, of his readers he has written a "Common Sense Medical Adviser," which is well worth reading by those who need such a work. With strict business honor, high professional skill, reasonable tecs, and a large corps of competent assistants, Dr. Pierce will doubtless make his n.uno familiar as "household words."

In the olden lime, nature, prostrate with pain and suffering, was attacked with the lancet, calomel, blisters, starvation and thirst. All this was done with honest intentions hut with terrible results, it is a pleasing fact that the enlightened public of the present day have discarded such medication.
