LECTU5K ON TKICHINOSIS.
Dr. I?. K. Brown dolivored a lecture
on tho above subject at tho
Cooper's Insiiiuto, New Yorkr a', a
moating of tho Farmers' Ciub. He
said :
We are entirely indebted to tho
croficopo for the discovery of tho trichina
njriralis. This worm cannot bo
recognized with tbe naked eye. It is
neither an infusoria nor an aninmlcuko.
Tho trichina is a worm* From Cr6t
to last, it lias killed in Germany moro
than 1,000 rooule. This worm is onlv
found under peculiar circumstances.?
It does not always kill. Yet tho trichina
arc male and female, and propagate
their ppecies precisely like other
animals. Trichina lias never boon
found in beef. It is never found in
mutton, 'lhe pig's no-ii is the only
flesh employed as human food, in
which trichina lias been found. A female
trichina often .has two hundred
young in her body. Tho more tricbii ic
there are iu ihc ewiue'sflofch tho more
increase and multiply. A person
may Lo infected with this wurin
iind may not experience any eer:'

D. J. V. O. Smith, after making
HOSiiO pointed remarks touching the
trichina;, ulated that the only t-a(Vty
ior himself and others i>s lu alun<don
tho u?c of swine's flesh cn4i:x-?y.
L'roltSBOr Dichl said this doctrine
is an old one in Asia.
A vote of thanks was presented to.
iDr Brown for his exceedingly aide
and instructive address; and a
copy whs solicited for publication.
.Dr. .Richards followed with some
vveu umcu remarus, staling that we
need not feel alarmed on this subject,
an similar worms have been found in
<ihe flesh of hoof cattle.
Dr. Vandorwyde presented a photograph
of trichinae in a beautiful
.frame,-colored almost as perfectly a*
,i -such worms appear when alive in the
.flesh of tho pig.
Tho following remarks, at the some
meeting, wero made on tho bone dust
as a fertilizer :
s If there is auy one practico among
American farmers, for which they de?errvo
Bharp rebuke, it is for nerroit- I
ting such imtueneo quantities of bones
to be exported for the improvement
of the agriculture of foreign nations.
Thousands of tons of bonas "are colr
iected annually in Chicago, Buffalo,
New York, and other populous cities,
and. shipped to European oountries
to fertilize the land for raising turnips,"
wheat, fat cattlo and shet-p. Aftd
yet. American farmers, in stupid quiet,
louk on and say : "It don't pay to
collect bonos and apply tbom to the
eoiJ.'*" "
It will pay.' They have not tested
the application ol ground "bone.?
There is ndt a meadow nor ft pasture
in the land?with very few excej) tions?that
will not bo gruatly benefited
by a dressiog of ground raw

Tho main crops have ulready been
planted, smd ill-ore bhould be little vacant

what is gained by tho removal of tno
early crops. All such ground Bbould

The Way to Manage Horses.? Never
attempt to clean or othorwis*
disturb 3*our horso whilo eating his ,
moal, unless yo\i want him to bite and

of it. Tie your horso in the centre of
the stall, unlets you want your horse,
j lo do as most hor6esdo, drive more on. :

that are liable to cast themselves la
