FARMERS' COLUMN.

A PHENOMENAL CALF. j A very curious calf has been raised j by a farmer m Massachusetts, of which • the American Agriculturist gives thej following description : — lt has a belt of white hair, which is natural m tex ture and general appearance, but the remainder of the body has a curious and indescribable covering of a woolly nature, solid black m colour, short, fine, and close. BUST IN WHEAT. The American Department of Agri culture recommends the copper-sulphate treatment ati the best for preventing rust m wheat. This consists m steep ing the wheat for 12 hours m a solution made by dissolving lib of commercial sulphate of copper, or " blue-sione " m 24 gallons of water, and then putting the seed for five or ten minutes into lime-water, made by slacking ID' cf good lime m 10 gallons of water. A SUMMERLESS TEAR. Seventy-nine years ago, writes Cole man's Rural World, was the year with out a summer. Frost occurred every month m the year 1816. Ice formed a half inoh thick m May. Snow fell to the depth of three inches m New York and also m Massachusetts m June. Ice was formed of a thickness of a common window glass throughout New York on the sth day of July. Indian corn was so frozen that the greater part was cut m August and dried for fodder, and the farmers supplied them selves from the corn produced m 1815 for the seed of the spring of 1817.

THE "CKOWN" QONOENTRATED XILUIJ) SHEEP DIP. Used extensively throughout the world ADVANTAGES. It is Non-Poisonous, exoept to insect life ; safe and easy to use ; cleanses the wool, and promotes its growth by supplying the fleece with a nourishing, oil or fatty food ; only requires cold water to mix, m whioh it is immediately soluble; this is an immense advantage whera the dipping ia done upon the farm or sheep run, where hot water is not easily procurable. THIS IS THE LATEST ADVANCE IN DIPS. A SURE CURE for FJy, Ticks, Lice, Maggots, Scab, Mange, etc. It is a great protection to sheep m wet or cold weather, as it renders the coat waterproof, and im- pervious to rain, snow, etc. ; will prevent Fly Btriking ONE GALLON WILL DIP 100 SHEEP REPORT FBOM~Db GRIFFITHS, The well-known Analytical and Agricultural Authority. 9 Charlotte Road, Edgbaßton, Birmingham I have made an examination of the "Grown Fluid Sheep Dip." It is an alkaline prepara- tion of tar, oils, and acids, and contains 26 per cent of tar acids. It is an excellent preparation, and is not only well suited for destroying tioks, lice, etc, and for treating " scab," " mange," etc., but also for destroy- ing the spores of the anthrax miorpbe 'Bacillus anthracis), and preventing the spread of anthrax among flooks of Bheep. This fluid is a most suitable preparation for the purposes to whioh it is applied, and may be recommended as a Bate remedy for the various parasitic and infeotibuß diseases whioh attack' sheep and other farm animals.

I have reoommended and shall continue to recommend it to any owners of sheep affected with Foat-Rot, a disease whioh I regret to say is bo often negleotod until it takes euoh a — Btrong hold on the flook that it can no longer be ignored, when it might have been easily put down at its first appearance by a little attention and the use of your remedy. JOHN MOORE, Inspector ot Stook February 28, 1895. Department op Agricultubb, Haweba. In reply to your request as to my reporting to you my opinion of tbe reßult of your dressing Bheep at Mr Lysaght's an Mr Nicholas* with your Foot-Rot Speo'fio, I have every confidence m saying that the cure was a perfeot one, although the werfther was very wet and stormy, and tbe examination was only cix days after the feet had been dressed. Some of the shoep were very badly affected, nearly the whole of the foot having roticdoff. I should recommend ail sheep owners to use your Speoifio if their sheep are troubled with Foot-rot, as it is easily put on, and I am Bure it will give satisfaction.— l remain, yours truly ALEXANDER MONRO, Inspector of Stook, June 22, 1895.

a cask orsßHVuvfi pnos- VBITIOX HE§CLTIKe |HO» ZMftICtESTIOM '» ■ - - They say that misory loves company, and they have had it so often it has passed into a proverb. Yes it isn't an all-round truth. Some kinds of misery" detest company. They want to be left alone. They hate to be elbowed and questioned and talked to. A wounded dog will always crawl into some retired place by itself. The instinct of badly iDJared men, after a battle is the same. Ailments that are mostly fancy, tend to set tonguea wagging- Bnt real, genuine and dangerous diseases don't incite to speech. Crises which are big with fate usually come and go m quiet. That is why Mrs Souffham had no desire for the society of even her best friends at a certain time she is going to tell m about. *Up to April, 1881,' she writaa, 'I never knew what it was to be ill. At that time I began to feel that something was aniiaa with me, I had no relish for my meals, and after eating ny chest felt heavy and painful, and nay heart would beat and thump as though it meant to leap oct of its place. Presently I became so swollen round the waist that I was obliged to unloose my clothing, as I could not bear anything to touch that part of my body. ' Even the lightest food gave me pain ; a little fish setting my heart to beating at a great rate. My feet were cold, and cold, clammy sweats would break out all over me, leaving me exhausted and worn out. At night I got no sleep to speak of, and m the morning I felt more tired than when I went to bed. I also suffered a great deal from my feet, being puffed up aud sore. I could scarcely get about the house. When I went shopping I had to ride to the town and back, as I could only walk a few yards. 'As time went on I lost flesh and strength more and more, 'and gave up hops of ever recovering the precious health I had so sadly lost. I took medicines, and con- sulted a clever doctor at Derby who ex- amined me and said my heart was weak He also gave me medicines, but J got only temporary ease from them, and m a short time was as bad as before. All this time I was so nervous and depressed that I had no desire for company. On the contrary I seemed to want to be alone with my misery. I Even a knock at the door frightened me, as though I expected bid news, yet I did nob really. My nerves and fancies ran away with my knowledge and judgment. Thou- sands of women who have suffered m this way will understand what I mean. ' Year after year I remained m this con- dition, and what I went through I cannot put m words, nor do I wish to try. It will •newer the purpose to say -.hafc 1 existed thus for eleven and a half years, as much dead as alive. I spent pounds on pounds m physic* but was cob a whit the better for any of i v . 'la October, 1892, a book was left at oar house, and 1 read m it of casei like mine being cured by Mother Seigel's Syrup. 1 got a bottle from Mr Bardel, the chemist m Norman ton Street, Derby, aad when I had taken this medicine for a few days, my appetite was better and I had less pain. I kept on taking it, »nd soon my food agreed With me and I gained strength. ' After this 1 never looked behmd me, but steadily got stronger and stronger. When I had taken three bottles I was quite like a new woman. All the nervousness had left me, and my heart was sound as a bell. Since then I have enjoyed good health, and all who know me say my recovery is remark- able. I am confident that Mother Seigel's Syrup was the means, m the hand* of Provi-' dence, of saving my life ; and out of gratitude and m hope of doing good, 1 freely consent to the publication of this statement. (Signed)(Mrs) AnnScuffham, Cooper's Lane, Laceby, Grimsby, May Ist, 1895. This letter is endorsed by Mr William J, Tollerton, of the same town, who vouches for the truth of what Mrs Scuffham has said as he personally knew of the circumstances of her illness at the time they occurred. No comment can add a jot to the force of this open, candid, and sincere communication. Whosoever reads it must needs be moved and convinced by it. The disease which filled this woman's life with pain and misery fq» j nearly twelve years was indigestion or ; dyspepsia, an ailment sly and cunning as a snake m the grass - and as dangerons. Send for the book of which Mrs ScuS'ham speaks, and read the symptoms m order that you may know wl at it is, and how to deal with it. The book costs you nothing, yet it would be worth buying as if every leaf were hammered gold.
