Masson’s Oil for Wounds, &c. 
Messrs. Tucker & Son—I have long been in pos¬ 
session of a recipe for an oil for the cure of corked 
hoofs and wounds on horses. 
Take 2 ounces of rock salt, 
2 ounces of copperas, 
2 ounces of white vitriol, 
8 ounces of sale molasses. 
£ pint of linseed oil, 
1 pint of chamber lye. 
Pulverise and boil the above together fifteen minutes; 
then add 4 ounces spirits of turpentine and 1 ounce of 
oil of vitriol, and bottle it up, and when cold it is fit 
for use. Shake the bottle before using it. Bathe the 
wound once or twice a day, and dry it in with a hot 
shovel. 
I have kept and used this liniment, which is here 
known as “ Masson’s Oil,” for the past ten years to a 
good account. A. D. Brown. Laurens

Lice on Calves. 
The best resort that I have ever found to rid my 
calves of lice, is very simple, easy and only this : take 
a few dry ashes from the stove ; rub them well into 
the hair of the animals, and all those troublesome lit¬ 
tle creatures will soon become harmless and disappear. 
Calves, or any other animals to which ashes are appli¬ 
ed, should be kept dry for a few days. J. B. 
Cure for the Stretches in Sheep. 
Cut their throats, and take off their pelts. This is 
the only remedy I know of, although there are many 
prescriptions. I do not believe the real stretches can 
be cured. I have one sick now, and I must go and 
butcher it. I have tried tar, tobacco, and oil, (but not 
all at once,) but no cure. The belly-ache probably 
can be cured. S. Cone. Berkshire Co ., Mass. 
For the benefit of your subscribers, I would say that 
Ebenezer Johnson of this place, cured a valuable New 
Oxfordshire ewe of the “stretches,” by administering 
the remedy published in the Cultivator of 1856, page 
143. He had lost several sheep with this disease, but 
never knew of one being cured before. Certainly “ The 
Cultivator” paid a good interest on its cost in the 
above case, and I am of the opinion that it would pay 
he most of our farmers well to subscribe for it. S. W*

To Remove Fresh Ink; Spots. 
A farmer’s “gude wife” assures me—in addition to 
which I have seen it successfully tried—that fresh ink 
spots may be removed by the following method, name¬ 
ly : Covering the part stained with, or submerging it 
under, a little warm milk —the newer the better—for 
from five to ten minutes ; then rinse and wash with soft 
water. It is a very cheap and simple process, and effi¬ 
cacious withal, c.
