Short-horned Bull Duke of Glo’ster. 
The “ Duke of Glo’ster,” of which we are gratified’ in being able to present our readers the above beautiful 
portrait, was bred by the late Earl Ducie, and purchased at the great sale of his herd last year, by Col. L. G. 
Morris, of Fordham, 1ST. J. Beca-r, of New-York, and J. S. Tanqueray, Hendon, England, for 650 guineas— 
about S3,250. By an arrangement among the proprietors, this bull is still in England, but will be brought to 
this country the ensuing autumn. The above engraving is from a drawing by H. Strafford, taken when Glo’ster 
was but twenty months old, in the last vol. of the Herd Book, from which we copy his pedigree.

Cures for Various Diseases. 
Cure for Mange.— Take lard and sulphur—mix 
together, and put in lamp oil sufficient to make it pli¬ 
able, more or less according to the warmth of the day. 
Rub the part affected with a cob, till you take off the 
scurf, then rub on the above with the hands. In two 
days go over them again, and as often after as you see 
si’gns of the disease. 
Cure for Scratches. —Rub the part affected tho¬ 
roughly with a cob—then take of the above mixture, 
and rub on thoroughly with a cob. Apply once a day 
until cured. If you drive in the mud, wash with soap 
suds before applying the above. Feed occasionally 
one table spoonful of sulphur. 
Cure for Lice. —Apply the above mixture at such 
points as the lice are most inclined to congregate; feed 
sulphur if convenient. You may be sure if you doctor 
for the mange you will kill the lice. 
Cure for Warts.— If not so large as to endanger 
too much bleeding, pull them off, and apply the above 
mixture. 
I had a steer that I had keeping out, which has a 
bunch of warts on his belly, as large a-s a two ^quaxt 
measure. I am now doctoring him, and if successful 
I will report. I thought at first I should lose him. 
Yours very truly, C. C. Perkins. Becket, Ms. 
Live and Dead Weight of Cattle. 
Editors Country Gent.' —I fatted four beeves the 
past winter, and sold them to W. Webb, who keeps 
the market in this village, who had them butchered. 
I send you a statement of their weight, not because I 
think them extra, but to show that by weighing them 
alive and deducting one-third will very nearly give the 
weight of the quarters, tallow and hide, when dressed: 
1 Cow, ii years old past, 1,360—off one-third,. 907 
Quarters 715, tallow 100, hide 90,... 905 
1 Steer, 3 years old past, 1,443—off one-third,.962 
Quarters 792, tallow 86, hide 101,... 979 
1 Steer. 2 years old past, 1,225—off one-third,. S17 
Quarters 661, tallow 79, hide 84,... 824 
1 Steer, 2 years old past, 1,410—off one-third,. 940
