' Anatomical Peculiarities. There is not only a great difference in the diseases peculiar to different species of animals, but the effects of > jip«^icLne. r on them vary. Knowledge the- diseases of animals ii?general cannot be inferred from a knowledge of one particular species. The anatomy and physiology of animals differ. The dog has no insensible perspiration; hogs do not perspire over the whole ’iiß^ r clttle and horses, but they *s tissues ! dW the iiiside of their forelegs, whicbrare an outlet for their e jpUpg?Sapus;4uids of the body.- In the s Jjwstelhejnouth conveys nothing to the el tongs or from them. The -passages to •-''nhei ltiiigsi*hd to the stomach are distinct ; the horse and .deer, unlike other quadrupeds, have no gall and bladder, in their skin, but not the* stomach like, the horses, unless from associating with that animal and the nits from him. , Bloating is to? cattle; and; sheep from their irigination in having four stomachs and ruminating their food, but it is unusual in the horse. The effect of medicines on different species of, animals varyas much as their structure and disease. Salts, which are a valuable physic forSsattle? and sheep, operate on the horse as a diuretic, while aloes, which is the surest and best purgative for the bbtse, is SrfetyVuft-.. certain for cattle and sometimes danglfdiis from producing inflammation. ' Calomdirihußarb and colocynth do not jkjofrlaMc 4spurgatives on the horse, nor anytriedicines operate on him as tartar-emetic and ipecacuanha upon the human species. The horse. can vomit, only throiigh the nose; mersury will pot salivate him, but . various plantsJ%ill j ’teiigar of lead ‘will not poison him. Wheat, the natural food (Minan, is poisonous to the horse whin tak|rir in J large quantities. Spirits of turpentine, which a child may handle without injury, operates as A applied .to the skip of the horse. ” It may U e applied to sores without paifi. It is also like fire when applied to the skin of the dbg, ; Notwithstanding these and ’other in general are alike in qiany respects, both as to nature of diseases, and “'some operate alike, favorable go.HPH.ftIU . .Anitas ,tp: the treatment in regard to wholesome food, -pure water and air exercise, protection from-cold-, -fen»welgexc6ssiv& heat, regularity of feeding; diet; keeping the bowels open and the skin clean, eta, nearly the same rules apply to all{; : ; i >,!

toEKH bne. ' q^r*nO.V!l*7 .f.:\l~iii', ~r: To the California farmer, few things i> wtelj importance than the. ' conservation; to the utmost possible extent, of the precious .moisture 7 upon which the success of his crops depends. og|£ven when he irrigates, there are times ” when water cannot be put on the crops withourinjury, and yet they may be suffering fropnTwant ;6f moisture. The evapd/ation that occurs through the plant itself cannot of course be diminished/ but forms a part of the?normal processes of life. But it is quite possible to prevent the waste of moisture through useless plants; ’ viz, weeds. Each weed allowed to grow among the grain not only occupies the place of so many grain stalks, but is a most posi--1 live detriment in wasting-both the moisture and the plant food that should go to the crops. Glean: seed, then, and he suppression of weeds jby every available means is essential to the conversation of - moisture for the use of the ) cropprevention.,ofrevaporati.oir from the surface pt the soil comes next. This is to : be done bn the principle of mulchipg. The. market gardener can this . purpose / the large d&e the soil itself by creat- ' ingand maintaining at the surface a stttk/6f ioosCi tilth. " But, says the wheat grower, we know, practically,, that we prevent evaporation by rolling the land in .spring to keep from drying it out. This is b«hhe¥everSelof tillage So your theory will not hold.* - - : ’• This objection sounds plausible; and qwtw tacts' prbve the exact reverse of tJie.infetbnGdssoughtitbjbe made.

When " rolling is-done under the proper con-. . e ditions, so far from destroying the surlillh it improves it, breaking up the ' ”liard lump’s'and compacting not merely ',the ;sutface, but the entire ploughed " .jjayef to/s'iich a. moderate extent as to excessive circulation of the dry while yet leaving it loose enough -.for -all purposes of vegetation and f - greatly reducing the extent of exposed s: iiii'face by levelling the inequalities left even’after harrowing. Vjßut experience further proves that -., ■ jtns, .prevention ‘of evaporation is still si jiKfdrel effectual if after rolling an inch . -or. wB of the surface is reduced to per-*-hfdctl tjMi 1 by-’The “ u^i ;; of a ‘ cultivator, a the Southern »lanters,. whip know thia loose the. suffice to, be the saving clauVft fn seasons 1 .
