Medical use of Salt.

many cases of dlsordered stom
ach, teaspoonful Of salt is a certain
cure. In the violent internal aching,
termed collie, add tcaspoonful OF
salt to pint Of cold water drink
it and go to bed it is one the Of spe-
diest remedies known. The same
will revive person who seems al
most dead from receiving heavy
fall, &c.
In an apoplcclic fl, no time should
be lost in pouring down salt and wa
er, if sufficient sensibilily remain TO
allow of swallowing # not, the
head must be sponged with cold wa
ter until the senses return, when salt
will completely restore the patient
from the lethargy.
In a fit, the feet should be placed
IN warm water, with mustard added,
and the legs brlskly rubbed all band
ages removed from the neck, aud a
cool apartment procured, if possible
ln many cases of severe bleeding at
the lungs, and when other remedies
fail, DR.. Rush found that two tea
spoons full Of salt completely stayed
the blood.
In case Of bite from a mad-dog,
wash the part with "A strong brine for
an hour, and then bind on some salt,
with rag.
In ,oothache, warm salt and water
held TO the part, and removed two or
three times, will relieve ii in most
cases. If the gums be affected wash
the mouth with brine. If the teeth
be covered with tartar, wash them
twice day with salt and water.
In swclIed neck, wash the part
With brine, and drink it also, twice
a day, until cured.
Salt will expel worms, if used in
food in a moderate degree, and aids
digestion, but salt meat is injurious,
If used much.

The N. Y. Tribune has spoken Of Indiana
AS doubtful state. A correspondent Of
that journal, writing from indianapolis, tells a
very different story. Ills letter is dated July
9th In 1t he says;
eel No possible contingency, short Of his
death, can happen by which Fremont could
be prevented from carrying Indiana by at
least twenty-five thousand votes"
Another correspondent Of the Tribune,
writing from Detroit gives an equally ene
conraging account Of Michigan and Illinois,
lie says;
"You do rs Of the West great niusti;o in

How TO Make Currant Wine.

use OF double-refned loaf sugar
SiDgle-fefned he says contains pro-
portion OF gum which mases the

the wine are:
Before pressing the juice from the
curranis, pass them between a pair Of
rollers TO crush them, after which
they may be placed in strong bag,
and they will part with the juice read
lily by light pressure, such as a com
mon screw, heavy weights, DC. To
each quart Of juice add three pounds

The Farmer as a Merchant.

Every step of advancement in civ |
ilization, brings with it an increased
necessity for general knowledge, on
the part of the farmer. Peace or
war, ten thousand miles away, may
make difference of a thousand dol
lars in The market value of the crops. |
even on farm of moderate size.-I
A drought over a district no, FIVE
hundred miles distant, may properly
modify his plans for the whole year.
A single frost, few ules off, may
give great value to fruit crop, to
which he had paid little attention
before. A disease among cattle,
hard winter, or some scarcity of food,
IN certain districts, may affect the
price Of all his bullocks in very sig
nificant manner. A manufacture,
established in his neighborhood, may
make it expcdieni for him 10 change
his entire list of crops if he would
accommodate himself 10 the new
demand, and derive the highest prof
II from his land. A knowledge of
these facts, and Of some other mat
tiers too, is necessary if he would sell
hls farm 10 the best advantage
How many things are to be thought
OF, II one would do what is in all
cases best. The farmer, like the
merchant, needs to make his calcula-
tons with the best wisdom he can
command. The science Of selling
and buying, will soon be almost a
necessity, in the successful prosecu-
ton OF agriculture. Our old men
should learn ii, if they nave not stud
led II before. Our young farmers
should make il a part Of their appren-
tlcesbip 10 their vocation. We do
not wonder, that in the older coun-
tres in Europe, farming should be
considered SO much science. 1t
Will become more and more so in
tins country. And ii is the object of
our laoors, 10 make the attainment OF
this great science, or rather this re-
suit OF many sciences, as easy and
speedy as may be to our increasing
multitude OF readers.

rel. Next day roll it again, and
place tin cellar where the tcmpera-
ture will be sure to be even. Leave
the bung loose FOR the free admission
OF air. In the course Of one or two
or three days, fermentation will com
mence. BY placing the ear TO the
bung hole. slight noise will be
heard, such as may be observed when
carbonc acid is escaping from cham
pagne or soda water. Fermentation
will continue for few weeks, con-
verllng the sugar into alcohol. AS
soon as this ceases, drive the bung in
tightly, aud leave the cask for six
monihs--at the end of which time
the wine may be drawn off perfectly
clear, without any excess Of sweet
ness.
