Three doses enough. It will purge, butebange
character of discharges. Give no food for
three days, but give water freely. It is a good
plan to add what is known as Douglas’s mixture
to drinking water as a preventive of cholera.
It is as follows: One pound of copperas, ono
ounce of oil of vitriol, in two-gallon jug half
filled with hot water; after twenty-four hours
fill up jug with water, cork and keep on hand.
Add a tablespoonful to each quart of drinking
water every day.
L. T., Big Cave: 1. I planted Japan clover in
Maroli. When can I pasture it without injury to
clover? 2. Is there any market for mullein. If so,
what is It worth a pound? 3. Do you think It would
pay to raise the common plum for market?
1. Japan clover is an annual; comes up from
seed in early spring, matures seed in autumn,
and is killed by frost, root and all. If you wish
it, therefore, to occupy the land another year,
you must give it an opportunity of perfecting
seed. This it will do if not ton closely grazed,
if animals are turned upon itafti-rmidsummer.
It is most valuable as a grazing plant in tho
latter part of summer and through autumn up
to killing fro. t. 2. None that wo know of.
3. Doubtful. The wildgoose, miner and other
similar varieties of the native plum would pay
better.
