days since I was looking over a catalogue in 
order to make a special collection. Look¬ 
ing at the lid of IAH\nns, my attention was 
called to the description of one of the most 
valuable ones which was not true. So get¬ 
ting several catalogues which were close at 
hand, 1 compared the description, of many 
of the Liliams, Hyacinths, Tulips and Cro¬ 
cus, and what a difference! 1 was really 
surprised to see some were described of a 
very different color than what I knew them 
to he. 1 do not wish to meddle in any one’s

I do think if some of our seedsmen would 
compare their catalogues they would see who 
was correct .—M. .1. w. M. 
Ouu cor respondent’s point is well taken. 
There are very few seedsmen who are either 
florists or botanists, and their descriptions 
are often as faulty its their seeds are poor. 
They have to trust toothers for descriptions. 
But all seedsmen are not equally ignorant.

THE 78 H POUND PLEEOE 
Hon. 11enR v 8. Randall — Dear Sir : 
I have just read in the Rural. New- 
Yorker of the 23d hist, your comments on 
the heavy fleece reported by the Alameda 
county, California, correspondent of the De¬ 
partment. of Agriculture. My lirst knowl¬ 
edge of the report was obtained by reading 
it in the Country Gentleman of August 17th. 
Supposing it referred to the fleece of a ram 
sold by me several years since, I immediately 
wrote the publishers of that journal, stating 
that the fleece was of more than two years 
growth, and my explanation was published 
in the same paper the .succeeding week. 
I did not vouch for the correctness of the 
report, as it. is a matter beyond my knowl¬ 
edge; hut 1 knew a fleece ol such an extra¬ 
ordinary weight, could not, have been of one 
year’s growth. Tlie ram from which I sup¬ 
posed ihe heavy fleece was taken was sold 
before lie was sheared, and the purchaser 
was informed of the age of the fleece. I 
neither saw the sheep shorn nor his fleece 
weighed ; nor have I either seen the sheep 
or the purchaser of him since the time of 
sale. The only knowledge I have of the 
report has been obtained from the articles 
referred to in the Country Gentleman and 
Rural New-Yorker, it could not have 
been got up as an advertisement for my 
special benefit, as you have suggested, as 1

PALE DISEASE. 
IIon. Henry 8. Randall—D ear Sir: 
I take this opportunity of writing to you in 
relation to a new disease affecting our flock 
of lambs, about fifty in number. They were 
weaned at the usual time, about the 1st of 
August, and placed on a rested pasture, and 
led about a peek of oafs and luan, mixed, 
per day. About Ihe middle of September 
we noticed that some of them lagged be¬ 
hind the flock, their oars hung down, and 
their bodies appeared almost bloodless. 
They rapidly lost condition and became 
very light, and their appetites became very 
poor. So iar three out of twelve, Ihe num¬ 
ber affected, have died. This disease is 
called “paper skin” by some, by others 
“ pale disease," “ pales,” &e. Is there any 
cure for it, and have the causes of it been 
discovered? We have been giving them a 
mixture of .sulphur and copperas, in tlie pro¬ 
portion of about one-sixth ol the latter to 
tlie former, ami some of them appear to be 
recovering. Please give its your opinion of 
tlie disease ami its remedy, and confer a 
favor on, Yours respectfully, 
J. A. 13. Walker, 
Noblestown, Pn., Oct., 1871. 
We have not laid the opportunity of per¬ 
sonally witnessing the destructive “pule 
disease,” or its treatment to any extent; and 
we are not aware that those who have had 
such Opportunities have made any important 
discoveries on the subject. It is a compara¬ 
tively recent malady, and we have scarcely 
heard of it for the last two or three years. 
Wo should he glad to learn more about it 
from floekmasters who have had later ex¬ 
perience with it, We confess we can see 
no promise of good results f rom the remedy 
employed by our correspondent. Whatever 
the treatment, we should depend much on 
careful nursing, and non-exposure to storms 
and sudden changes of weather. If thc 
pasturing season were not about over, we 
should recommend a change of pastures. 
We should keep fhe sheep separate from 
sound sheep for thc benefit of troth. We 
should provide roomy, airy, dry winter 
quarters, kept sweet, tuul clean. We would 
wool was finer and more lustrous than Cots- 
vvold wool. 
These varieties were very extensively 
crossed in England, and it is believed with 
excellent results in both directions. The 
favorite Leicester obtained size, improved 
hardiness and breeding qualities, and a bet¬ 
ter quality of mutton. The Colswold es- 
8enli:illy improved in general form, in fat¬ 
tening properties, and especially in the great 
desideratum of early maturity. 
As to which of ihe two varieties it is 
“ most profitable to keep," the answer may 
depend upon circumstances. The feeder and 
the breeder might differ on the point. We j 
believe the Leicester greatly takes the lead ! 
in numbers in England, and the Colswold is 
now generally the favorite in the United 
Stales. Botli do well enough in the United 
States under proper treatment — but they 
both very rapidly “run out” under the 
ordinary management of American farmers.

Will you please to tell me the best treat¬

days. I took the shoe off and dug it with a 
knife, and matter rail from it, producing a 
very bad odor. If you can inform me 
please do so.— Wm. F. Simson. 
In this case it is evident the corns have 
been neglected, and the trouble is now wliat 
is called “ Quitter”—that is a sinus or pipe- 
like opening has been formed, which may 
result in permanent lameness. A veterinary 
surgeon would introduce a probe in the di¬ 
rection of Ibis sinus and inject one draclnn 
of sulphate of zinc, dissolved in a pint of 
water, with a small syringe, This should 
be done once daily, the foot being occasion¬ 
ally washed with Castile soap and water. 
Ilumei Kiibbinc rlieii* Tails in tbe Smblo. 
A CORRESPONDENT of the RURAL Nk\V- 
Yohkkk writes that lie lias broken many 
young horses of tins practice, by washing 
the dock with warm waternudgood, yclimv 
hard soap; then thoroughly dry the part 
with a clean, coarse cloth, keeping up the 
rubbing till the dock is not. only dry bill 
wanned by the friction. Then a liniment m' 
new (warm) milk, (eight ounces) and spirits 
of turpentine (one ounce) is applied. Mix 
the liniment in a bottle, pour it into the palm 
of the hand and nth the dock thoroughly 
with it; avoid rubbing the tail on the under 
side as much as possible. Continue tlie 
application of the liniment daily until the 
horse ceases rubbing. 
Another correspondent says a little lard, 
occasionally on the mane and tail of the 
horse will cause him to discontinue rubbing. 
Flank Stable Floor* lor Horses. 
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga¬ 
zette prefers hare plank floors for horses. 
He says:—“ I have tried it for fifteen years, 
and never littered a stall yet, nor have I ever 
had a horse or mule to gel lame by being so 
treated. I have at times left stable floors 
without plank, and afterwards planked them,

floors, and the stables are more easily clean-

The fruit mid flowers to lie found in per¬

luxuriantly—and the rapid growth of the 
trees is really extraordinary. I have seen
