AGRICULTURAL AND PASTORAL NEWS.
Mr Hugh M'Gregor, V.S., sends us the following recipe for the treatment of bot ia horses : — Give a drench of -£dr tartar emetic and ldr as£a r cebida, with ldr areca nut, mixed in a bottle of raw linseed oil. It the horse is en stable feed give a bran jnash before administering the medicine. The Daily Timer of Wednesday last says :—: — "Consignor" describes a, condition of things, which we hesitate to publish, in the carriage of food in the intermediate vans on the train arriving at Dunedin at 11 am. He alleges that live and dead animals and all kinds of merchandise, some ot it of the most offensive kind, are indiscriminately mixed and heaped up in confusion. We have no reason to doubt the veracity of our correspondent, but the mismanagement he describes ia almost too shock- j ing for belief, and if ths details set out by our correspondent are correct, the Railway department ought at once to effect a reformation. They could, for - instance, easily have inter- ; mediate vans fitted with shelves, which might i be portable, and they might decline to carry artificial manure in contact wiLh rabbits, fowls, and dead pigs. These are examples of the sub- i jects of oar correspondent's animadversion?.
