Continued from p. 211. 
Xo Prevent (nails.—“ P. O.” To prevent 
collar galls on horses in the summer time, wash the 
shoulders every night with cold water, and rub dry with 
a towel. Also scrape the inside of the collar clean, and 
keep it very hard and smooth. Collar pads stuffed with 
wool, are injurious rather than helpful, and collars lined 
with flannel should be avoided. A leather lining is the 
best, and it should be kept very smooth by occasional 
dressing with fish-oil, and burnishing with a smooth 
piece of hard wood. The collar should fit snugly but not 
too tightly. If a collar fits well there will seldom be any 
galls; if it does not, no amount of care will prevent 
them. A smooth leather pad at the top of the neck, is 
as good as any other kind. 
Culture of Ylstug-oltls. — P. Ott. An 
article on the culture of mangolds, was published in the 
“Ogden Farm Papers,” of January, 1873. 
Size of a, €Jis>leri».—“ 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 (or one brick thick, placed 
flat and lengthwise in the wall) 1,680 bricks will be re¬ 
quired. One barrrel of cement, and one cubic yard of sand 
(or 18 bushels) will lay the brick and cover the bottom. 
Scrofula. in —“J. LI. H.,” Stephen¬ 
son Co., Ill. 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 be bred 
from, and will not be wholesome food if made into pork. 
Cullon-e of Castor llcams.—“ B. W.,” 
Nodoway, Mo. After the young plants appear above the 
surface, it is necessary to cultivate the ground as with a 
corn 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 in 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, and at each 
gathering always pass over the same row in the same 
direction, gathering the pods ahead of the wagon on that 
row. The gathered pods are spread in a yard surrounded 
by a close fence five feet high, and are stirred and expos¬ 
ed to the sun until the beaus pop out. If rain occurs, they 
must be covered, or they will be injured. 
Saviasg - ISeiaaaets.—Since the late increase 
in the manufacture of cheese, the demand for rennets lias 
become very lively. The cheese factories use a great 
many of them. A large number are 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 fourth stomach only is 
taken. This is not tlic paunch, but that next to and be¬ 
yond the “ maniplies,” and that from which the gut 
leads. It is cut oft' close to the maniplies and the gut, and 
is turned inside out, to empty the curd, which may be in 
it, but is not washed. It is then salted well, and turned 
again. The outside is then well rubbed with salt, and a 
handful of salt put inside. It is then stretched 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. 
Insects osi House-Plants.—^“ Mrs. L. 
M. N.” has tried tobacco for the green fly, and washing 
for the green spider, and still her plants are tormented, 
ar.d the insects grow fat. We can only say that these 
applications never fail with us, and there must be a want 
of thorough treatment. Put the plants in a large box, or 
under a barrel, where they can he thoroughly smoked 
with tobacco, and at the end of a couple of hours give 
them a thorough showering. Repeat it every three days, 
and the green fly will give it up at last. For the red 
spider, wash the smooth-leaved plants with a wet sponge 
on both sides of the leaves. Lay the others on their 
sides, and thoroughly shower the undersides of the 
leaves; repeat this every two days, and keep at it, until 
the insects disappear. Perseverance will conquer them.
