Vegetables, 



The exhibition of vegetables, though not near so 

 numerous as in previous seasons, was nevertheless 

 very good in respect to the quality and growth of 

 the articles exhibited. The backward season has 

 been unpropitioiis for the growth of squashes, and 

 other vegetables which require warm weather, and 

 but a few specimens were shown. 



A great variety of fine vegetables were exhibi- 

 ted by Capt. Lovett, of Beverly, viz: — Five heads 

 of purple brocoli; five heads of cauliflower — all 

 large, well grown and excellent specimens ; French 

 Sugar, early Blood Turnip and Mangel Wurtzel 

 beets ; white Altringham Carrots; white Dutcli 

 parsnips; white Portugal, yellow and red, and the 

 top or Tree onions. Among the potatoes, there 

 were two seedlings of the growth of 1841, and the 

 Chenango, early Flat, white Dutch, Jackson or 



Snowball, two kinds of black, and the round red. 

 Ruta baga turnips ; white bush. Horticultural, 

 white cranberry, red cranberry, purple striped, Sic- 

 va, and new scarlet beans.

 ry ; South Sea tomatoes ; and Crookncck winter

DISEASES IN OXEN. 



Mr E. Wood, in the Maine Farmer, says : — '' A 

 short time since, in the county of Somerset, I heard 

 of a number of oxen which were spoiled by what 

 was there called the stub complaint. On inquiring 

 for the symptoms, I found it not a new complaint 

 to me. From some cause or other, a sandy sub- 

 stance collects in the pipe, or sheath, where the 

 water escapes from the body. I had some experi- 

 ence before, and will relate one instance, which 

 will give you an idea of my experience. I had a 

 very good and valuable yoke of large oxen: one of 

 them was affected in the manner and with the dis- 

 ease above mentioned, call it what you will. He 

 appeared to be in pain whenever he passed his wa- 

 ter, by the soreness of the part affected. T pur- 

 chased a small quantity of the sugar of lead, took 

 the ox down and washed and cleansed the part af- 

 fected, with soap and warm water, and then washed 

 it with sugar of lead and water. Not liking the 

 application in that way, I powdered the sugar of 

 lead and faithfully applied it in a powdered state, 

 taking care to gel it as far into the sheath as it 

 was diseased. The consequence was that the parts 

 became contracted and healed, and he continued 

 well for that fall and winter and the next summer, 

 which was as long as I kept him. When I sold 

 him, I informed the purchaser of the disease and 

 the remedy also. He lived two or three years af- 

 ser I sold him. I have been told that the remedy 

 had to be used once after I put him away." 



Woollens should be washed in very hot suds, 

 and not rinsed. Lukewarm water shrinks them.
