.Milk Sickness. — We have been informed by an 

 old residf'nt of this counry, that for llie last Ion 

 years he lias been in the habit of putting <aciii the 

 troughs and of salting his cattle upon the tar ; 

 and of mi.xing the salt witli it, as much as could 

 well be done, and that when bis cattle use the 

 salt anj tar freely, be lias never Inst cue to his 

 knowledge with Milk Sickness — hut if his cattle 

 stray or by any means are deprived of the use of 

 the salt and tar, he is sure to lose them — he salts 

 several times in the week, and very freely — we 

 know tliat our informant lives in the midst of 

 a neiglihorhood subject to this aftlicting com- 

 plaint and is worthy of all credit — Let others go 

 and do likewise — the experiment »nn cost but 

 little. 



Cabbage Soup. — The liquor remaiuing in the 

 pot in wliicli cabbage, potatoes, and a sweet, fat 

 piece of beef have been boilfd, is a very pleasant 

 soup. Most house keepers in the country throw 

 it away or into the swill barrel. 



The If'atir JTitli, iii Jamaica, which is like a vine 

 in size and shape, and grown in dry districts, is so 

 full of sap, that a plentiful draiighi is obtained, by 

 cutting a [licce two or three yards long and holding 

 it to the month. 



Sago. — This is the starch of a tree which grows 

 in the East Indies. The natives cut llie stem and 

 branches in two, and dig out the pith ; this is then 

 washed, passed throtigb a perforated copper-plate, 

 to reduce it to grains, which are then dried and 

 form Sago of Comilierce. From the same tree is 

 obtained a liquor, as pleasant as our wine. From 

 the cotton, with which the leaves are covered when 

 young, clothing is maile ; when older, the leaves 

 are used instead of tilns for bouses ; the largest 

 also serves for building ; the two smaller yield a 

 kind of heni|i, fit for making ropes.
