Hots in IIoksks. 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 :

the following way:
"About thirty years ago, n friend of

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. It is generally the

the quaek recommends the horns to bo
bored with u gimlet,and pep]km* or turpentine
to be injected, or turpentine

onuses irritation and inllammation of
tlio parts, restoring the heat, but it
only makes the ease and the suffering
worse. The remedy ought to be
sought in restoring the condition of
the animal by such modieino or food

Harmony.
We are often asked to give our aid j
' to mi i ll*?rt to produce "harmony in J
the party." We are interviewed daily
i by men big whit plans "to bring the
1 party leaders together." The anxious |
politicians who are thus worrying
j themselves and us go away sorrowlul
t when \ve present our panacea lor the!
party ills. It is a simple formula.]
We repeat it here. "Keiieunee Moses,
Wliippi r vo Ho, and all their works."
We find plenty of that easy kind of j
; penitence which is lull of tears at
! being lotiud out, and full ol terror in
l view of the coming judgment; but.
, when we iek lor work mete for repen;
tanee, there is an instant change of
[tone. We soon find that what is!
I meant by "bringing the parly
I together," is thai those strong in the
right shall surrender to the beaten,
j drunken, demoralized followers of
.Moses and \v liipper. l itis is the
I meaning ol ail the prating about
! harmony.
Now, as far as we are concerned, :
| there never w ill be such harmony.

The Greeek mind, which had become
latniliar with t ho divit.e myths and
descents of Olympus, when it, received
the ,It-wish system ol one Ciod, set to
woik to ailot n tt with similar myths
land hence arose t he gnostic laneies
and heresies, the "endless genealogies
i against which Paul warns Timothy
From a similar effort to master the
myst' ry ot the tiinity arose the Armed
heresies, which denied that (-hrist was
God. The Ariaus were willing toad111it
111at Christ, was the Son ot God,
J the highest creature ot God next to
j (iod ; but t he t wo parties split on these

was of the same tenure, homoousioa
with God; and the Ariaus that he was

The only difference in their formal
i recess between the system of faith!
which rested on lite simple Word j
>fGod, and the system ot rationalism
which built as much on human reasoning
as on God's revelation, was the
smallest of letters. And from this
trilling difference producing such great 1
results, we may learn that, there is '
nothing unimportant in religion. Il

the worship ol the true God would
perhaps havs been obscured by the:
worship of a multitude ol lesser deities.

Tim SrccKssKui. Physician.?There is

physician, who does his actual du/y l>oih to

physicians are not so numerous that their

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,

rather than on the Dili of April, because
Kaster Day is regulated not hy
a solar, but by a lunar cycle?the
cycle that regulates the (lohlen Xtimber.
Now, by a solar calculation a
day alvays begins at midnight; but by
lunar calculation it begins at noon*
It, therefore, the Paschal moon falls
on a Saturday alter 12 M., it is counted
as falling on Sunday, and then
Kaster Day, is, under the rule in the
Prayer Hook, the Sunday following.
This is what happens in the juesent
year The Paschal lull moon talis on
Saturday, April 8, at 2: b> P. M. It
is theiclbro counted as falling on Sunday,
April 0, and Kastor l)ay is tho
Sunday following?i <?., April 10. It
may be added that should the full
moon fall ou .March 21 before 12 M.,
that full moon (counted as falling on
March 20) would not regulate Kaster
Day, but the one following. This
happened in 1810.

place in tliat period? In none have they
been more radical than in the treat meet of
diseases. 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.
