Carf. of llorrks. —This is a subject
that should require the attention of all
who have the charge of horses, so as to
understand the treatment which will host
subserve this end, namely, of having
the horses to Look well and feel in good
spirits. The fall of the year is, of all
the seasons, the hardest on the horse.—
The weather is changing from hot to
cold, and the autumn winds, which are
particularly hurtful to his constitution,
make his coat rough and his joints still',
so that lie no longer seems the horse he
was in warm weather. He should there
fore, during this change, he particularly
well taken cure of, by being cleaned
twice a day, and fed regularly three times
a day, and in greater ()uantities than
through the summer. Many do not
cover their horses when left to stand, hut
think that by leaving them uncared for
in that way, they will harden the consti
tution of the animals under their charge.
This is entirely a mistaken notion, as the
cfl'ect is deleterious to the animal. They
might, for the same reason, expose them
selves by going out insufficiently clothed,
or by getting heated or wet, and thou
stand out in the cold winds uutil they
are dry. The horse, in many respects,
i.s like a human being, and if extremes
•f beat and cold affect feme, it will cer
tainly' affect the other. So useful an
animal should, therefore, be carefully
used and well provided for, and by judi
cious earo in cleaning, watering, &c.,
much may be saved in the way of grain
and liny.
It is said, with much truth, that a
horse will look better on a moderate feed,
if well cleaned, than on one-third more,
if entirely neglected.— tier. Telegraph.
Pen. Evil in Horses.—For the bene
fit of those who have or may hereafter
have horses that have poll evil or fistula,
1 would say, don’t sell the animal for a
trifle, or give him away ; bnt cure him
sound and well. I care not how long it
hits been running, it can be cured with
one dime ; yes, one dime’s wortli of mu
riatic acid will cure the w orst case of old
poll evil. First wash the sore well with
strong soap suds, then drop eight or ten
dropsof the acid in it twice a day, until
it has the appearance of a fresh wound ;
after which, it should bo washed clean
with soap suds made from Castile soap,
iind left to heal, which it will quickly do
if the acid has been used long enough,
but if it does not get well, apply the acid
again until it docs cure, for it is a sure
remedy, and will not fail if it is applied
until the diseasedllesh is allburntout.—
l'rairic Farmer.
CoLonixo Hitter with Carrots.—
Some who practice this commend it, as
not only improving the appearance of tho
butter, but tbo flavor and quality. The ■
following is tho process To cream for
five pounds of butter take a good sized
orange carrot, wash clean and grato off
the deepest colored portion, pour a tea
cupful of warm water td it, let it stand
a short time, then strain through a cloth,
and add to the cream just before churn
ing.—-(We know this recipe, when prop
erly carried out, to be excellent. We
have eaten as good butter, in tho midst
of winter, made in this way, as wo ever
did in J une front grass.]— Ed. Telegraph.
(loon Horse Feed.— Mixed crops of
grain, under tho name of “mcslins,”
have been common in sonic sections, ami
have been profitable. A correspondent
of the Rural New Yorker relates tbe fol
lowing. We should think the crop
would make an excellent horse or cattle
feed, ground : had a conversation with
a man lately, who was an experienced
farmer, having farmed both in this State
(N\ V.) and Ohio, and his manner of
raising horse feed was this : I take about
-J bushels of oats, and mix them with
one bushel of rye, and sow this amount
to the aero. The rye will support the
oats in ease of a heavy growth, and pre
vent lodging. In this manner I have
raised sixty and even seventy bushels to
the aero.”
Canker Ecus. —The Boston Journal
gives the following timely hint: Now is i
tho time to rid young trees, mid such j
branches of older ones as can be convc-!
iliently reached, of tho eggs of tho j
canker worm. They are found in patches |
of all sizes, up to as many as olio or two j
hundred in a patch. They are attached j
to the stem and twigs, particularly in the
crotches of the boughs, and can be read- [
ily detected by tbo eye, aided by the I
strong light from tho snow beneath.— j
They may bo sealed oft with the lingers 1
and destroyed. If thrown on tho ground
they are apt to hatch, and the worms
thus find their way up the trees. Hun- j
dreds and even thousands may be re
moved in this way with very little trou-1
ble, and in a very few minutes.
BiMm lit MUM in Cattle- ACt re ‘
Take of white onk hark, newly peeled
from the tree, as much as you can easily 1
cucompass with thumbs uiul fingers of
both hands. Boil this in one gallon of 1
water for a short time; then pour off
the water, and dissolve in it a lump of
alum the size of a hulled walnut, and a
lump of copperas of the same size.—
M ith this mixture drench the sick ani
mal, and the euro will soou be effected.

The Newark Daily Advertiser states that
the prospects, in New Jersey, of a large
yield of fruit, were never better than at
the present time. The buds are gene- j
rally uninjured, and tho lingering cold
weather will prevent them swelling un

j Da new article, of recent discovery and iinpor
, tution, anti scuns to be just the thing our Farm
j ers have long wanted^
Inspector, hereunto annexed, it is found to con- !
tain largely more of lionr Pho*phutc of Lime. I
than any other Guano ever discovered. Almost
j every Farmer is convinced that in order to get ,
his land iu permanent productive order, phos- !
phutes arc absolutely necessary. There can be j
1 no permanency without it.
As it seems to be impossible to supply the de- J
mand tor Bone Dust, Farmers need not, in our
judgment, have the least hesitation in using the i
I Columbian us a substitute for Bone, as it con- !
i tains nearly double as ranch phosphoric acid as j
j the bone, and much cheaper in price, taking the i
, phosphoric acid as a basis. We ask a very

EAR AND EYE.
DH.VFNKSB, TOTAL OK PARTIAL,
E N TIRELY 11EJIO VED.
DR. ALSOPIIERT begs leave to call the
attention of those suffering under a par
tial or toUil loss of the sense of hearing, to the
following facts:
lie treats diseases of the middle and internal
ear w ith medicated douches, such ns is prac
tised in the Infirmaries of Berlin, Liepsic, Brus
sels, Hamburg, aud Bt. Petersburg; and lately
by most distinguished Loudon Aurists, with
the most wonderful success; indeed, it is the
only method that has been universally suc
cessful*
The best proof of the efficacy of this treat
ment will be a reference to nearly nine hundred
names, residents of the United States. Canada
New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, who have
been restored to acute hearing, and not a single
solitary case, to our knowledge, did wc fail to
effect cither a partial or total restoration of the
hearing, when onr advice and instructions
were carefully adhered to. Many, wlio could
not hear thc*report of a pistol at arm's length,
can now bear a w atch beat at the distance of
tour feet. In case of mucus accumulation to
the Eustachina tube and tympanum, inllamti
t ion of the mucus membrane, nervous affections
diseases of the meuibraua tympani, called the
••drum,” or, when the disease cun be traced to !
the effects of fevers or colds, the use of quinine
or mercurial medicines, gathering in the ears
in childhood, &c., this treatment stands pre
eminent. When the auditory canal is dry and
scaly, with little or no secretion; when the deaf
ness is accompanied with noise in the ear, like
falling water, chirping of insects, ringing of
bells, rustling of leaves, continual pulsations,
a discharge of matter, or, when stooping, u
sensation is felt as if a rush of blood to the
head had taken place ; when the hearing is less
acute in dull, cloudy weather, or w hen a cold
has been taken, this method of treating the
disease is infallible. In deaf and dumb cases,
my experience warrants me in su\ mg that it
the hearing was good at any time* much can
be accomplished. In the dear and dumb schools
at Leipsie, out of a class of fourteen, 1 suc
ceeded in restoring four to acute hearing.
Dr. A. begs explicitly to state that in those !
cases he undertakes, he guarantees a successful j
result—complete restoration of the sense, or !
such a marked improvement as will be perfectly i
satisfactory, if his remedies arc faithfully ap
plied and directions adhered to.
Applicants will please state their age, dura
tion of the disease, if matter issues from the ex
terna] passage, if there arc noise* in the ears,
state of general health, and w hat they suppose
to have been the cause of the deafness. When
the hearing is restored, it is expected that those
in easy circumstances will contribute liberally, j

PESENTATION TO OIL ALSfIPHERT.
Quite an agreeable affair came off hist night j
at the Cooper House. Dr. Alsophert, who has 1
been practising in this city for the past ten
years, lias been eminently successful in treating
diseases of the Ear and Eye, to such extent as I
to entitle him to the name of a public benefae- '■
tor. was presented, by some fifty of his former !
patients, with a pair of muon ifimit .SILVER'
PITCHERS, as a slight mark of esteem and j
gratitude to the man who had rendered each j
a most valuable service. The Pitchers bear !
suitable inscriptions, anti are certainly highly ;
creditable.to the manufacturers, as well a. to I
the taste and generosity of the donors. E. M. '
Moyle, M. I)., who was deputed to make the j
presentation, expressed the ho;c that Dr. Also- '
phert would long be spared to follow in the j
path he had chosen, and w here he had met I
" ith so much success, and to whom the mtdi
j cal profession was so much indebted, not only j
( { * ,r his valuable work ou diseases of the ear anil !
j eye, bnt for the many reformations introduced
l in the treatment of these delicate organs. It
is a notorious fact, said Hr M., that the prac
tice of Aural Surgery is as a sealed l ook to
nine-tenths of the Physicians, and the difficult
of those suffering from defects of sight or hear
ing, in obtaining relief. may be imagined. Dr.
Aisophert assuredly deserves the highest praise
both from the professional and unprofessional
classes of society, for devoting his energies I
and talents to a branch of the healing art.
where both fame and pecuniary reward are
; doled out most scantily. Dr. Meyle's remarks
| were eloquent and fluttering in the extreme;
tIM Mow apfwecteted to all who heard them,
knowing they were well deserved. Dr. Also
! phert feelingly ami most appropriately replied :
relating some of his experience since he com
j me need practice iu the United States, and de
j pit ted iu graphic und glowing language, the j
j feelings experienced by those who luiil been
j deaf from infancy, or who bad formerly grop'd
i in darkness, on their being restored to light
and to the world of sounds. The feeling? of
1 Ihe successful Physician are best expressed in
, Dr. Alsophert's own words:
t “ The Merchant may feel proud and elated,
j when his schemes for amassing wealth have
been successful; Kings may exult w hen their
j dominion? have been extended ; tbe Hculptor ,
may gaze with admiration on the life-like
i statue his chisel has created: the eye of the
Student mar brighten, as the treasures of learn- i
1 ing are exposed to his view, or the great truths
of science daw n upon him ; or the Warrior’s
| heart may bound with exultation, as his tbnn- 1
dering squadrons shout the cry of victory, or
w hen the wreath of laurel encircles his brow ;
yet all these emotion? cannot exceed the pleas
ure of that hour when the Physician sees his
efforts crowned with complete success, when he
knows he lum been the humble agent iu remo
! ' ing the cup of bitterness from tho Ups of his
fellow man.”
In deaf and dumb cases, lie said, generally |
considered incurable, he had met with the most
flattering success : and while he confissed that
a majority of such eases were incurable, yet be
considered tlmt the medical profession had
been shamefully remiss towards this class of
unfortunates. Ife asserted, and was ready to
prove by overwhelming testimony, that every,
case of deafness r can he cured, except where
such arises from malformation.
The Doctor has been the recipient of many
similar tokens—one from Rovultv itself—in the j
shape of a magnificent CLUSTER PIN, from
the late Queen Adelaide, consort of King Wil
liam the Fourth —his success in this instance 1
only being partial: otherwise Knighthood
might have been conferred. I)r. A’s Diary
must beau interesting one, embracing many
years of Hospital practice, and extending over
a period of thirty years. We trust he will find
time to pufllish it.

All must see tile absurdity of treating Con
sumption through the Stoinai h, by filling it
with naueeous drugs. The disease is notiu
the Stomach, but in the Rungs, aud by inha
ling .Medicine in the form of Vapbr, I apply tho
remedy DIRECTLY TO TJIE DISEASED
ORiiAX : there is therefore no case so hopeless
that the Inhalation will not reach. 1 earnestly
appeal to tile common sense of all afflicted with
Lung diseases, to embrace at once the advan
tages of Inhalation.

AND SEVEN names, residents of New York

number, according to the patient's own state
merits, were considered hopeless cases.
The Inhaling method is soothing, safe and

medicines in such a manner that tl|ey arc con

RECOMMENDATION BY PHYSICIANS.
We, till' undersigned, practitioners in medi
cate, cheerfully and heartily recommend Dr.
Rose’s method of treating diseases of the Lungs
and Throat, as the best and most effectual ever
i introduced into medical practice. Our com ic
| turns are based upon having several of our own
patients, confirmed consumptives, restored to
| vigorous health, after a few months treatment
by Dr. Rose. In the above named diseases
the application of MEDICATED VAPORS ini
haled directly into the lungs, mav bo justly
j considered as a great boon to suffering human
ity. rendering Consumption a perfectly curable
I disease.
Dr. Rose deserves the well wishes of the
Profession for life unwearied labor. in bringing
the inhaling method to such a degree of'pcr
feetion. ’ 1
