Two CROPS IN ONE SEASON IN Alabaivia.— A coiTespoiideHt ill 

 Fraukliu County gives the following facts: April 22, he sowed one 

 acre in Hungarian grass ; by June 19 it was fit to cut; he took off the 

 crop, and planted corn June 30, and it made 30 bushels. March 15, he 

 sowed four acres of Norway oats ; cut a very heavy crop July 1 ; 

 planted the land to corn on, the 12th and 13th, and made fully 30 

 bushels. The land on which this experiment was made had been under 

 cultivation thirty-live years, and the season was unusually dry. 



A HOG- DISEASE AND ITS KEiviEDY. — A correspondent in Shelby 

 County, Kentucky, describes a disease (which he calls cholera) prevail- 

 ing in that section among hogs, and gives a remedy. Its symptoms are 

 a hacking cough and "hard and marblelike excrement." Soon as 

 these are noticed administer calomel, in the proportion of half a pound 

 to every fifty shoats, mixed with corn so moistened that it will adhere. 

 This is designed to change the action of the bowels, and if that effect 

 does not follow in due time the dose must be repeated. Next, mix in 

 troughs salt, wood-ashes, and coal-tar, in the proportion of 7 parts of salt, 

 7 of ashes, and 2 of tar. The hogs will soon become fond of it, and 

 the effect will be to remove from them all vermin, and keep them gen- 

 erally in a healthy condition. This, he testifies, has been found by all 

 who have tried it efficacious both as preventive and remedy.
