question whether his recovery was due to
the brandy or the Ingredients it contained
in solution, another dog was suffered to
be bitten on the 9Th ult., and the bromine,
iodide of potassium and corrosive subli-
mate administered alone. An hour alter
he seemed to be recovering slowly. The
next experiment will be to administer the

"a poison of any considerable descrip-

harmless by simply swallowing two gills

Mr., Yancey, of Iowa. advances the
idea in the Rural New Yorker, that the
only proper time to SOW timothy and red
top. is when the seed becomes SO ripe that
it falls to the earth Of its own accord
in this latitude, from the Goth of July to
the middle of August. A great many
failures occur in sowing in the spring and
fall with grain crops, and many farmers
have come to the conclusion, with Mr.. Y,
that such seeding won't pay that it is
better to SOW it alone. and at the time
above stated.

How TO AvoID MosoUIToEs.-A shrewd
friend has adopted the following plan.
which he assures US has been entirely eff
fectual:
cat dusk he opens every window, and
carefully closes every door belonging to
the chamber. The mosquitoes. attracted
by the light outside. rush forth seeking
whom they may devonr. Then, before
going to bed, or bringing in light. he
closes the windows, and of course ex-
cludes all the outsiders. After the cham.
Der lights are extinguished, the windows
may again be opened without danger
This is so easy to do that we fear nobody
will try it."

How TO PRESERVE GREEN CoRs.-Now
that green corn is so plenty in the market,
many are DESTROYS of good recipe for
preserving it. The following is very
highly recommended:
Take a barrel or any convenient cask
"A common salt-barr will do-and
spread layer of dry salt on the bottom
to the depth of two inches strip the ears
of their husks and set them upright in
the salt, the butt ends down, until the
bottom is covered. Now Gil up the space
between the ears with salt, until another
layer of an inch or two in depth is pre-
pared for another setting. Repeat the
process until the cask is filled. Head up
and store in dry place.
