Continued from p. 211. 
To Prcvewt Oalls.— " P. 0." To prevent 
collar galls on horses iu the summer time, wash the 
shoulders every night with cold water, and rub dry with 
a towel. Also scrape the ins-ide of the collar clean, aud 
keep it very hard and smooth. Collar pads stuflFed with 
wool, are injurious rather than helpful, and collars lined 
with flannel should be avoided. A leather lining is the 
best, aud it should be kept very smootli by occasional 
dressing with fish-oil, and burnishing witli a smooth 
piece of hard wood. The collar should fit suugly hut not 
too tightly. If a collar fits well there will seldom be any 
galls ; if it docs not, uo amount of care will prevent 
them. A smooth lealher pad at the top of tlie neck, is 
as good as any other kind. 
Culture of Msiiigolds. — F. Ott. An 
article on the culture of mangolds, was published in the 
"Ogden Farm Papers," of January, 1S73. 
Size of SI C-istcrit.— "P. A. V.," Dakota 
Terr. A round cistern, 8 feet in diameter, and 10 feet 
deep, made rounded at the bottom, will hold 100 barrels 
of water. For a four inch wall {uroue brick thick, placed 
flat aud lengthwise in the wall) ],GSO bricks will be re- 
quired. One barrrcl of cement, and onecubic yard of sand 
(or IS bushels) will lay the brick aud cover the bottom. 
Scrofula in Pig's.— ''J. H. H.," Stephen- 
son Co., 111. Pigs are frequently subject to scrofulous 
diesases. These appear in the shape of swollen heads, 
sore mouths, ulcers on the tongue and jaws, and gan- 
grene of the extremities ; sometimes known as loss of 
tail and hoofs. When young pigs are thus attacked, 
there is no remedy, and they die from inability to suck. 
A sow which produces such pigs, should not bo bred 
from, aud will not be wholesome food if made into pork. 
Culture of Castor Beans.— '* B. W.," 
Nodoway, Mo. After the young plants appear above the 
surface, it is necessary to cultivate the ground as with a 
coi'u crop. The young plants are too tender to be har- 
rowed. Two plants are left in the hill, and are cultivated 
or plowed five or six times. Early iu August the crop 
will begin to ripen, and the pods are gathered twice a 
week until frost comes. To harvest the crop, drive a 
wagon over every fifth row, gathering the pods that are 
turning in color from two rows on each side, aud at each 
gathering always pass over the same row iu the same 
direction, gathering the pods ahead of the wagon on that 
row. The gathered pods are spread in a yard snirounded 
by a close fence five feet high, aud are stirred and expos- 
ed to the sun until the beans pop out. If rain occurs, they 
must be covered, or they will be injured. 
Saving* Keiiuets.— Since the late increase 
in the manufacture of cheese, the demand for rennets has 
become very lively. The cheese factories use a great 
many of them. A large number arc wasted, because the 
manner of saving them is not generally known. The 
stomach of every milk-fed veal that is killed, or every 
"deacon," should be saved. The fonrth stomach only is 
taken. This is not the paunch, but that next to and be- 
yond t!ie " maniplics," aud that from which the gut 
leads. It is cut ofl' close to the maniplics and the gut, aud 
is turned inside out. to empty the curd, which may be ia 
it, but is not washed. It is then salted well, and turned 
again. The oiitsirle is then well nibbed with salt, and a 
handful of salt put inside. It is then stretclied upon an 
elastic bent twig, and hung up to dry. When dry it is 
ready for sale. Any produce dealer in New York will 
buy them, or any cheese factory. 
Inseols ou House-Plants.—" Mrs. L. 
M. N.'' has tried tobacco for the green fly, and washing 
for the green spider, aud still her plants are tormented, 
and the insects grow fat. We can only say that these 
applications never fail witli us, and there niu^t lie a want 
of thorough treatment. Put the plants in a largo box, or 
under a barrel, where they cau bo ihoroughly smoked 
with tobacco, and at the cud of a couple of hours give 
them a thorough showering. Repeat it every three days, 
aud the green fly will give it up at last. For the red 
spider, wash the smooth-leaved plants with a wet sponge 
ou both sides of the leaves. Lay the others on their 
sides, aud thoroughly shower llie undersides of the 
leaves; repeat this every two days, aud keep at it, until 
the insects disappear. Perseverance will conquer them.
