Horn AIL.-SYpMToMs AND REMEDY
Mr.. J. Damon, writing to the Massachu-
setts Ploughman, says:-"When a crea-
ture is taken with the horn all the nose
will be dry, the eyes dull, and the horns
cold; the bowels irregular, according to-
the state of the disease. The malady is
said to begin at the end Of the tail. Cat
tie whose tails are kept web cut, are no
liable to the horn all. For remedy, get
half pound OF sal.petre give tie crea
turo one OF two OF. at time, every other
day, pounded fine and put in provender,
if the creature will eat it; if not, dissolve
it in warm water, put it in a junk bottle
and turn it down the neck. Bore hole
in the horn with gimlet to let in the air.
The creature with proper care will soon
be well; | have tried this course for years
| with success.
To BRING THE Drowned TO LIEE.--Im
mediately, as tie body is removed from
the water, press the chest suddenly and
forcibly downward and backward, and in
stantly discontinue the pressure. Repeat
this without interruption until a pair of
common bellows can be procured. When
obtained introduce the nozzle well on the
base Of the tongue. Surround the mouth
with towel or handkerchiefand close it.
Direct bystander to press firmly upon
the projecting part Of the neck-called
Adams Apple-and use the bellows ac
lively. Then press upon the chest to ex-
pei the air from the lungs, to initiate nat
ural breathing. Continue this at least an
hour until signs Of natural breath comes
on. Wrap the body in blankets, place
it near the fire, and do every thing TO pre-
serve the natural warmth, as well as to i'm
part an artificial heat if possible. Every
thing, however is secondary to initiating
the lungs. Send for medical man i'm
mediately.
Avoid sll friction until respiration shall
in some degree be restored.

How TO TOAST TBREAD.-Chesnut brown
will be far too deep color for good toast;
the nearer you can keep it to a straw-col-
or, the more wholesome it will be. Ifyou
: would have slice Of bread so toasted as
to be pleasant to the palate and wholesome
to the stomach never let one particle o.
the surface be charred. TO effect this is
very obvious. 1t consists in keeping the
, bread at the proper distance from the fire
and exposing it to proper heat for due
length of time. By this means the whole
of the water may be evaporated out of it
:, and it may be changed from dough--whicl
has always tendency to undergo acetou:
fermentation, whether in the stomach o.
out of ito the pure farina wheat, which
is in itself one Of the most wholesome spe
cies of food, not only for the strong ant
healthy, but for the delicate and diseased
AS it is turned to farina, it is disintegrated
the tough and gluey nature is gone, every
part can be penetrated, it is equally warn
all over, and SO hot as to turn butter int
, oil, which, even in the case of the bes
7 butter, is invariably turning wholesome
substance into a poison. The properly
| toasted slice of bread absorbs the butter
4 but does not convert it into oil; and botl
| butter and farina are in state Of very
minute division, the one serving to expos,
: the other to the free action of the gastri'
f fluid in the stomach so that when slice
/ of toast is rightly prepared, there is not ;
e lighter article in the whole vocabulary o
f cookery.-HouseAold 41lmanoc.
STAKING FRUIT TREEs.-We have fo
years practiced but one method of support
y ing young fruit trees, and like the way 81
L well, we shall continue it until we SCI
> something better than has yet come to ou
notice. We drive stake which we usu
ally make of strip of board, or plank
strong enough to support the tree, bu
, elastic to allow it considerable motion
: about six or eight inches from the tree
y on the south or west side, and fasten tn
tree to it by strip of leather, forming
single loop, SO as to allow the tree to NOV
little in the wind, fastening the ends Q
the leather on the top to the stake by
shingle nail. By this method the youn!
tree has sufficient play to induce it t
