STAGGEES IN SHEEP. 
MKSSRf?. Editors— I saw a remedy for a disease wliich 
has prevailed amongst my sheep, and do not recollect 
where I saw it. I first thought I saw it in the CuUivaLor, 
but could not find it in the back numbers. The sheep’t. 
head seems to be drawn to one side, and keep going 
around in a circle. If it attempts to run, it will still turn 
around and around as it goes. If you or any of your sub- 
scribers can give a remedy, please publish it.

A Certain Cure for Scrofuda. — Nicholas Longworth, 
the famous millionaire and wine grower of Cincinnati 
publishes the following cure for Scrofula: 
Put '2 oz of aquafortis on a plate, on which you have 
two copper cents. Let it remain from 18 to 21 hours 
Then add 4 oz. of clear, strong vinegar. Put cents and all 
in a large mouthed bottle, and keep it corked, Begin by 
putting 4 drops in a tea spoonful of rain water, and apply 
it to the sore. Make the application three times a day, 
with a soft hair pencil, or swab made of rags If very pain- 
ful, put more water. As the sore heals apply it weaker. 
1 request editors, in all parts of the Union, and abroad, 
to copy this, and to republish it quarter yearly ; it may 
save many lives. N. Longworth. 
Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov., 1855. 
P. S.— Capt. Harkncss, ofour city the first person cured 
by this remedy, applied it without water, and he informed 
me that he thought it v/ould burn his leg off, but the next 
day it was cured. His was a small sore, and had been at- 
tended to for months by one of the best physicians, with- 
out any benefit, 
A Mixture used for Washi.ng Clothes. — Tn Berlin, 
Prussia, the washer- women use a mixture of two ounces 
of turpentine and a quarter of an ounce of spirits of sal 
ammoniac, well mixed together. The mixture is put into 
a bucketof warm w’ater, in which half a pound of soap has 
been dissolved. Into this mixture the dirty clothes are im- 
mersed during the night, and the next day washed. 
The most dirty cloth is perfectly freed of all dirt, and 
after two rinsings in fresh water, the cloth has not the 
least srneil of turpentine. The cloth does not require so 
much rubbing, and fine linen is much longer preserved by 
t.

remainder — keep the animal confined for two hours, then 
give it all the water it will drink, and the treatment will 
seldom need repeating.
