Culpepper C. H., Va., March 5, 183^f.
Dear Sir : I am now in my fifty-ninth year, and
hav£ been a critical observer of the Horse creation,
during which time I have been the owner of at least
one hundred. 1 have never lost one from sickness of
any kind ! A great number of valuable horses die
annually from the (xrvbs, which might be saved by
be equal t * the sum of fg;l50—halfas much as the net I administering the following simple and efficacious
annual income of a majority the farmers in the remedy:

'The quality of milk i.s a consideration not less im- one pint of new milk, and one ounce of laudanum;
portant than the quantity. Those who never have | P^t these ingredients in a botile, an.l after shaking
tried the experiment of setting different cows’ milk
king, or two quarts per day, more than another, the
milk being of equal quality; and this milk to be es
timated w’orth two and a half cents per quart, and
this to continue 200 days—here would be a differ
ence of ten dollars in the produce of the two cows.
This rule applied to a dairy of fifteen cows, would
it thorouglv, administer the dose. In half an hour
separate have very imperfect ideas of their compar
ative value. I have known some cows that five or
six quarts of their milk w^ould raise cream sufficient
to make a pound of butter. I believe this was sta
ted to be true of the Oakes cow, from the milk of
w hich wa.s made twenty pounds of butter per w’eek
for several successive weeks; and I have heard the
afterwards give the horse a pint of castor oil, and he
will soon discharge the grubs. I have never failed,
in a single instance, of curing a horse attacked by
grubs, if they had not eaten up his maw.
The origin of the hot or grub is so clear that any
one may readily prove it to his satisfaction. There
is a nit-fly which w'orries horses excessively, though
same of others. But, ordinarily, it takes ten quarts I they do not bite ; these lay their nits on the horse s
of milk to viold a pound of butter. It therefore be- I flanks, and not unfrequenly on his under

Amos Kendall, Postmaster-Generai.
Every diary-w’oman knows that the milk will indi
cate the kind of food used ; therefore those kinds of
food which leave the best flavor in tlie milk should
be selected. When cow’s have been fed on cabba
ges or on turnips, who has not tasted the peculiari
ties of these vegetables ? When they are fed on
Indian meal, on carrots, or on beets,—it is fair to pre
sume that these articles tecoine incorporated with
the milk also. I do not presume to say w^hich of
these articles is the most valuable to be cultivated
for the feeding of cow’s; though I hope in this age
of experiments, wuth so many inducements as are
now' held out for trial, it w’ill not be long before some
of our farmers will give us satisfactory information
on this subject.
The manner of niilking also demands attention.
Cows should be milked about the same time each
day; and they should be milked quick and clean.—
If a portion of their milk is suffered to remain, this
will soon diminish the quantity, and the cows w’ill
dry up. It is bad policy to trust milking to children,
for they usually do it moderately and imperfectly,
and more is lost thereby than would pny the best of
laborers.
The place for the setting of the milk, is also worthy
of attention. This should be cool, well ventilated,
and exclusively appropriated to this purpose. For
if it is permitted to be oocupied in part for other pur
poses, some things will find their w'ay there which
will be injurious to the milk. It should also be pro
perly lighted. Cream will rise more favorably in a
light than in a dark room, and tlie quality of it w’ill
be better. Therefore a dairy room above ground is
preferable to a cellar. The room should be carefully
gu arded, by the use of wire gauze, or some other
substance at the windows, against the approach of
insects or intruders of every kind. The milk should
be set in pans uncovered; as the cream will not rise
BO freely w’hen there is a cover over the pans. Care
should be taken not to fill the pans full, especially in
warm w”eather, as the cream will rise quicker anci
better w’hen the milk is spread over a larger
surface. The sooner it rises and is removed from
the milk the better : and thi.5 should aUvays be done
before the milk begins to turn sour. When the cream
is taken off, it should be kept in tight covered ves
sels, in cool places, until the churning process; and
this should always be before any sourness or mould
is discoverable.
Much care should be taken to separate the butter
milk thoroughly from the butter. More depends on
this than any other part of the process in making
good butter. Unless this is done, it will be impossi
ble to preserve it sweet and good. If our dairy-wo-
men would apply double the labor to half the quan
tity of their butter, and thereby thorougly remove al
particles of butter-milk, this one half would be worth
more than the whole in the condition it is usually
eent to market. As this is a matter that interests ev
ery farmer, and every lover of good butter, (and
who does not love it when it is fair and nice ?) I
have presumed to forward these remarks. You will
use them as you think proper.
Joseph How.
Methuen, January 6, 1841.
Note.—What I have said in relation to the working
of butter, is to be understood in relation to such but
ter as had the proper previous management. For
if the butter comes soft, it may be worked ever so
I long, and not become hard and good; although it
! may be improved by workinff.. Butter that comes
ther hand
so as to exclude the air. In irom five ^ seven min
utes they will hatch and crawl, and you w'ill see the
grub in perfection.
To insure a horse against their hideous attacks,
the dose above mentioned should be given him each
Spring and Fall. [!] The advantage this remedy
possesses, over all others, consists in the ease with
which it is abministered, the simple character of
the ingredients, and the readiness with which they
can everywhere be obtained. When received into
the stomach, the sweetened milk causes the grubs
to let go their hold, the laudanum puts them to sleep,
and the oil clears them out. That’s the way Moss
caught his mare !
To Cure the Cholic.—Take four large onions, and
beat them in a spice-mortar until you have them
w’ell bruised : then add a pint of whiskey, and strain
the w'hole through a piece of linen. Put it into a
bottle, for convenience, and give it to a horse, and
it will relieve him in twenty minutes. When a horse
has the cholic, it may be readily seen from his swell
ing.
If you think the above paragraphs w'orthy of a
place in your valuable work, you will gratify me by
srivinr them an insertion.
I remain, sir, yours, with respect,
G. W. Allen.
Staggers in Swrine.—In reference to an inquiry
which appeared in this paper, a correspondent of
the N. E. Farmer giv’^es the following as a Qure for
the above disease:—“ When it is found that one of
your hogs has the blind staggers, no time should be
lost; but you should proceed to give your hog as
soon as possible, something that is warming within.
The first remedy I ever tried was a mixture of sul
phur, hen manure, and caj'enne pepper, wilh railk
enough to make it as thick as porridge, given to the
hog as warm as he can bear it. Now I give noth
ing but new rum and peppt r, giving as n.uch as I
could make them take with a epooa. P/fore you
give them any thing, it would be well to lake some
