Heavey Houses. — Do not keep this kind of stock, 

 believing aa I do, that prevention is better than cure. At- 

 tention in haying, grooming and driving, and we shall 

 hear no more of heavey horses. Smart weed adminis- 

 tered as follows is said to effect a cure: — Steep the weed in 

 boiling water; give the horse one quart of the liquid 

 every day for eight or ten days, giving grain or cut feed, 

 wet. J. Y.— Liberty, Tioga Co., Pu. 



To Destroy Canada Thistles. — In reply to your 

 correspondent '• S.," I would say, keep the thistles from 

 going to seed this fall, if possible. Then, next summer, 

 mow them close in July, before they go to seed ; then, in 

 ft few weeks, put a little salt right upon the crown or tip 

 of each sprout, when the stalk will wilt and the root die,
