CURB OF M AN'.K I.\ DOGS. j
To fhc editor of ihe- Farmers UcgUtcr. v
In the last ' Southern Punter,5' n wri- j.
tor gives us a remedy for the mange in f,
dogs. Although ill common life things r
which are considered valueless are coin- f
pared to a dog, yet the fidelity and ?ffccti?t?
of that valuable domestic animal f
- d?ve adoays made him an object of grat- <
itude and chre with man. If we should
^t ^regard his comforts, or neglect to nHe- r
viate his maladies, we should be wanting f
v in those noble qualities in which he has f
. ?et m* the example. (
< S'?me years ago, when residing in the c
upjw country, I had a very beautiful and s
favorite |K?iuter. He became mangy over j
hts whole bodv, and verv much reduced. .
; :* v so that I expected to lose him. I had u s
- . friend residing in the; neighborhood who
owned a tan-yard. He was kind enough }
In take mv dog for a week or ten days,
nud dip him in the tan-vat several times
.each day. He was then ruhhed well s
; -M with a mixture of tanner's nil and tar, \
and sent home.. In the course of a short v
time the scales hvgin to peel off, and new '
Hair to grow out. He soon became the |
tdeekest and prettiest animal I ever saw. t
and wa9 never again affected with the s
disease, or" even visited by vermin for n 'j
yenr or two. I often thought, by hi* (
playful anties, that he was conscious of |
his obligations, and wished to express
with kindness a gratitude which h? felt; t
but the obligations were transferred to t
me, for he lived to afford me many an i
hour of s?>ort and many a nice dish of
_ game. s
The disease is evidently infectious, and v
those that are subjects of it should not *
be permitted to consort with those that j
( are not. r
I hope the few brief remarks above,
may lead to the relief of many a valuable v
animal for the mutual protection and en- v
iovment of himself and owner.

P. S. In the case above related, I \
first resorted to thi**usual remedies, such v
as sulphur, <fcc., without effect.
: : . ;ii
to kf.kp skitpkks from bacon.
^ It 13 stated in the " Plough Boy," an j
? Jjgricultural paper recently commenced ?
" in South Carolina, that if a small piece of
sulphur is thrown on the fire every day j
Tthe bacon is smoking, it will effectually t
prevent skippers and bugs from entering.
We consider this an important matter, '
" 'and we are strongly disposed to believe
the remedy a good one. ,
f Exchange paper. }
The remedy may be, and no doubt is, |
a good one, but we doubt its propriety,
belfeving that the fumes of the brinh-tone
v will impart a bad flavor to the bacon.? i
kd. ky. far. i
[if the remedy he effective in prevent- <
ing skippers, no fear need be entertained i
of a disagreeable odor remaning. We 1
hay, beartt tiwi ?*;g?0d an effect may be
produced %by\throwing a few pods of red
pepper on the fire once in two or three
days during the smoking of the hacon.
The latter plan has been tried sev'era!
years in our own house-keeping; and
whether that or some other cause operated,
there were no skippers in the hacon.
In one case, salted fish in barrels, placed
in the meat-house after the smoking was
finished, was full of skippers, while the
hacon remained free.?Ld. Far. RboisTR

WhVnt.y's Cotton Gin seems likely to
he superceded by a new machine for
leaning cotton and wool, which appears
to have been introduced with success at
LiWftHi Thn;. pourier of tbat
dace gives the following a tcount of it.
* t . 1 4
The machine has been uiventoa unci i
i.itcnled by W. W. Culvert, of Chelms- |
ford, and Alonso Crane, of this city. It j
:onsists of a common feed apron from
ivhich the cotton passes through the rolera
and thence taken by a common pick:r
and thrown into comh-lceth arranged
>n a solid iron cylinder, and thence is fawn
forward undor a revolving floated
*heel guard. The fibres of cotton arc
her> doffed from the combteetii by rewiving
brushes, and turned ont from nil
oroign substances. The secret of the
niccess of this machine in cleansing cotcm,
lies in the ingenious arrangement of
he floated wheel guard, in connection
.viih the comb-teeth.
The advantages of thi-i machine ever
Whitney's cotton gin, may be easily seen.
The latter has been in use successfully
;vcr since its invention, but does not
cave the cotton perfectly clean, "and
njures the staple in some degree. With
his machine, there is no chance for foriign
substance to pass through ; and the
iperntion of it shows that tho cotton is
Much better cleansed by it and with for
ess injury to the staple. Even cotton
v.isle, no matter how much dirt it con
wins in iv lie perfectly cleaned and renlerel
Hi foi use?. * 'j
The inventors have already taken out x
intents tor their '-machine, in Scotland,
Sogland and her colonies. One>of the
iivontwrs is now in Europe, with .two of ^
" "* * ??!? WAfi; PIi'aK*J l\I V/
MG IIMillllliCS, ?* u II I 1 (tit# himi |l uuiiwi i
n op ration at Leed-i or Manchester.?
I'his machine will thus be brought 10 the
intine of manufacturers in Europe, and
f thoy examine into its* operation, they ,
annot eat foul satisfied that it is to their !
nterest to adopt it. It is intended to (
ake the place of Whitney's cotton gin, ,
I'hich I.as gained the inventor so much
auie and been so useful to the world, and !
villi all the marked advantages it posses,
es over that machine it must necessarily ,
lo so. From its operation, every one
mist feel satisfied (hat it is a far better
uachine than Whitney's. -
The new machine has been in successtil
operation at the mill of the Lowell
Joinpany for six months, and has been
>:rfoctiy successful. From rough estinates,
it has boon ascertained that a thnee
'out machine of this description, will gin
rom one thousand to fifteen hundred lbs.
if cotton per day, leaving the cotton quite
dean, and without any injury to the
tuple. It has boon used ai.-o for dealing
wool of burrs and other foreign sublances,
and has operated with perfect
access.

hang it up to drain and dry.
When dry, dampen with a sponge, and.

something between the cloth and iron, i>
rohing till perfectly dry. It is best to rip '

irnagino any habit more unmanly, not to
say unclean, than to see a fult-'groww
man lying snoring in bed, to "dumb forgetful
neas a prey." long after " the glorious
king of day" has risen in the east?
Such an example of improvidence and
sloth is unseemly in itmdf; and yet tnotd
pernicious irf its effects Upon all aro ;nJ
hi;n. As when ttos "cut's away the rnicc
do play," so servants are quick rri feni ning
to take advantage of the slothful ways
of their master, and with late rising and
laggard servants, how can the best house,
wife, even Mrs. Glass herself, have her
house made.cloan and all things kept decent
and in good, order?" No, sir. he
who rises late has to run after bis business
all day, and can scarcely overtake it at

culpable to lie abed ^Hor- sunrise. Not
only is early rising then, a sign of a good
husband, in a degree to ronJcr it an ataolute

While, however, early rising and personal

the signs of a good husband, tcfonot re:
