In . Communication to the Lancet. Mr.. John

as . valuable anesthetic. He says:
The first case in which tried its effect was
that of Mrs. H., natron on board the emigrant
slip Indiana, Of which was then surgeon su-
perintendent. About twelve months ago, hav.
ing exhausted my little stock of cbloroform,
and the patient suffering from violent neuralgia
in the course of the supra-orbital nerve, it
occurred to me that of the remedies at hand,
the most likely would be the vapor of turpen-
tine. This Immediately applied, sprinkled
on handkerchief, to the nostrils, similarly to
chloroform, and was surprised to find it not
merely soothe and sllay the pain, but after q
few Limitations. produce gentle sleep and

toms and quite free from pain. may mention.
without going into detail, that have since tried
it in one or two slight but painful operations
as extracting broken needle from sensitive
part, and in some cases of cramps, convul-
sions, nephraglia, calculosa, &c. Its effect
seems to be to allay nervous irritation, spasm
and oain. without deranging the action

induce some of your numerous readers, more
skilled and with better opportunities of testing
its value, to experiment in the direction have
indicated. and to publish the result for the ben

Tomatoes.

This is one of the most healthful, as well as
the most universally liked of all vegetables; its
healthful qualities do not depend upon the mode
of preparation for table; it may be eaten thrice
day, cold or hot, cooked or raw, alone or with
salt or pepper or vinegar, or all together, to a
like advantage, and to the utmost that can be
taken with an appetite. Its healthful quality
arises from its slight acdity, in this, making it
as valuable, perhaps, as berries, cherries, cur
rants and similar articles; it is also highly nu-
tritous, but its chief virtue consists in its ten
dency to keep the bowels free, owing to the
seeds which it contains, they acting as mechan-
ical irrtants to the inner coating Of the bowels,
causing them to throw out larger amount Of
fluid matter than would otherwise have been
done, to the effect of keeping the mucous sur
faces fabricated, and securing greater So
lubility Of the intestinal contents, precisely on
the principle that figs and white mustard seed
are SO frequently efficient in removing constpa-
ton in certain forms Of disease.

A Rich Scene.

A day or two since, countryman walked
into an Office in one of our large cities; without
taking any particular notice of his whereabouts
he took off his coat and cravat, threw them OF
chair, sat down, crossed his legs, and, in al
authoritative tone, called out:
els that water hot2'
"Water, SIR" said the clerk, who had beer
watching his movements with some little curl
osity; "what water, sir7 you must be under Q
mistake
mistake the ID, sir! want to be shaw
ed. Why don't you get things in readiness
I'm in a hurry"
81 beg pardon, sir; this is not q BARRIERS
shop, it is an exchange Office"
Gan exchange Office! There must be some.
thing wrong, by hockey! asked person in
the street where could get shaved, and be
directed me to come here"
The clerk looked daggers, and the customer
put on his coat and sloped.

Auint in Crane Culture.

It is O well known fact, that vines trained &C
cording to the renewal method sometimes be
come stunted, and make only feeble and irreg
ular growth. Thrs is owing, some vineyardists
say, to the fact that as the base or horizontal
canes become old their ducts become clogged
and retard the free and healthy circulation
of sap from the root and trunk through the
canes.
A grape grower at the West, having a few
vines in this condition, tried an experiment up.
on them. He brought down the horizontal
canes to the ground, at several points, fastened
them there by stout pegs, and covered them
with a few inches of soil. Roots were soon
formed at each of these points, and the perpcn.
dicular canes above them grew with new and
amazing vigor. He was SO well pleased with
the working of his plan, that ne means to re.
peat it whenever vine appears to need doctor.
ing.
This practice is not Altogether new. In old
graperies and vineyards, it has long been Gus.
tomary to renew vines by layering shoot, and
then cutting off and digging up the old stock
The principle seems to be that the vine con-
tinually needs to make new roots and new canes
and to have free circulation of sap from the
root to the top. Fer the vine to stand still, il
to sicken and die.

WATERPROOF Cloth.

Now that troops are marshalling for the field
and are obliged to encounter fair weather and
foul, it may not be amiss to state that cloth may
be made waterproof which will not be liable
to the objection against India-rubber cloth
want Of poros;ty. The soldiers of the French
army are furnished with tunics of cloth, prepared
in the following manner, and experince has prov
ed them to be vastly superior to Tndia-rubber
goods: Taketwo pounds of alum, and dissolve it
in ten gallons ofwater. Unlike manner dissolve
the same quantity of sugar of lead in a similar
quantity of water, and mix the two together
Sulphate of lead will be percipitated; draw of
the liquor, and immense the cloth in it for an
hour; take it out, dry in the shade, wash in
clean water, and dry again.-Wiseonsin State

A Joke on ,Tllda.

"'Tilda," cried old Mr.. Sloper from the gar.
den, early in the morning; "'Tilda!"
"What, father?" said a voice half smothered
in bed clothes, for the young lady was in bed.
Here's John, down here" replied the old
man; "been here this hour"
There was a sensation in doors, and after
hastily dressing, Matilda appeared. "Where
is joint" she asked, looking little pouty, and
somewhat surprised, because there was John
about there that she was always glad to see.
There was mischief in the old mans eyes, az
he said: "Don't you see John?'
"No," said she; "what John7'
"Why, Jonquil, to be sure" he replied
pointing to the flower, and laughing. He kiss
ed her, and called her good girl for getting
up 30 early.

for tbt farnler.
The Sweet Potato.

The best variety for this climate is the Man
semopd, and 1t is really the only variety that
can be grown successfully as far north as Ne
braska. The plants should be set from the
middle of May to the first of June; but they
can be raised If set at any time during the
month of June The ground should be shelter
ed from the winds that rob the soil Of its heat,
and as they are not to be set until danger from
frost is over, We should give them Q southern
aspect, for, being tropical plant, they like the
sun In all its vigor. Our object should BE- TO
give them plenty of heat, and to keep of the
north and northwest wind. In setting them
in the garden, give them the lightest spot to-
wards the south, with back ground Of high
board fence, trees or shrubs.
In cultivating this plant, which is of the
trailing convolvus family, one indispensable
condition is that the sets must be planted on
small hill like mounds or ridges. In garden
culture the hills are usually employed, but in
all cases We prefer the ridge system, both for
cheapness of culture and better yield In
the garden the ridges are thrown up with
spade. They should be two and half feet at
the base, and foot high-the top not sharp but
round, of not less than six inches broad at the
top. In field culture the spade system would
be too expensive, and we must use the pillow to
throw up the ridges. The ridges should be
three and half feet apart frop centre to cen
tire and of fair size. Before setting We 60 over
the ridges with steel rake and smooth them
down, and then set the plants about sixteen in
ches apart, one in place. We never wait for
arainy spell to set the plants, but prefer to set
as we ridge up. This is done with dibble,
which is q pointed iron, something like the one
on the lower end Of a surveyors staff; one of
wood will answer. This is thrust into the place
where the plant is to be set, some four or five
inches deep. Hold it in the right hand, and
with the left hand hold the plant in the hole as
deep as it should be set, and with the dibble
rattle in fine earth to within an inch or so of
the surface. Do not press it all about the plant;
nor is it material whether the earth is damp or
quite dry, but see that it is fine and not lumpy.
A boy or man follows the person setting, with
pail of water, and pours about half pint on
the roots Of each plant; and as soon as the wa.
ter settles away the ground should be filled in
and made level about the plant. Cultivate
with shovel pillow, so as to destroy the weeds
between the rows and at the base of the ridge.
A hce will be necessary to finish up.

Pasture Lands.

OF all land composing farm, says the Maine
Farmer, the pasture needs manure the most, for
it is from that the stock must draw their prin-
cipal support. If dry and sandy, spread on
muck and leech ashes, and old, hslf rotten
straw, late in the fall. The snow will prevent
its evaporating and the winter rains will wash
it into the earth. Garry out all the manure
that has been made during the summer and fall,
and spread it so that it will be icorporated with
the surface earth during the winter. Apply
bone dust and all other substances that can form
bone earth. If the pastures have been exhaus-
ted by wool growing renovatc with plaster, thus
restoring the sulphur which had been drawn
from the earth; for in every one hundred pounds
of wool there are FIVE pounds of sulphur. But
on no account allow it to be said that any part
of your farm is an old and worn-out pasture. !"
That is equivalent to acknowledging that you
are a lazy, shiftless fellow, incapable of appre-
ciating the blessings of heaven-and dishonest
in refusing to pay the rent acquired by God for
the use of his land.

A Cure for Small Pox.

A prescription for the cure of small pox, scar
latina, and measles, has been communicated by
q member of the Royal College Of Surgeons,
London. 1t is reported to have been tested
with invariable success in innumerable instan-
ces, and the receipt is as follows:-Take one
grain of powdered fox glove or digitalis-valu-
able in the ratio of greenness-and the same
quantity of sulphate of zinc or white vitriol;
rub thoroughly in mortar with few drops Of
water; add four ounces of water and a little su-
gar. OF this mixture a Tablespoonful should be
given to an adult, and two teaspoonfuls to a
child, every second hour until symptoms of dis.
ease vanish. The herb annihilates the fever,
and the zinc acts as tonic.

Storing Butter in a Cellar.

During several years of our first farming in
Iowa we found it extremely difficult to preserve
sweet for winter use, the butter that we made
during the months of June, July and August.
We finally adopted the following plan by
which we arc successful: We, with . few min
utes work, settled large stone jars into the eel
lar bottom-it being sandy and dry. By put
ting nearly the whole jars into the ground, and
packing the sand close outside, and the butter
inside, especial care to keep it well covered,
first with thin cloth, then thin layer of salt,
and then board with q weight on it to prevent
it's being uncovered by accident Last season
We took an oak butter-6rkin that would hold
one hundred pounds, and painted it well out
side, and and inserted it in the ground beside
the jars, and filed it with butter, which kept
as sweet as we could desire. Persons who have
a dry cellar, and can avail themselves Of the
above plan, think will be amply compensated
for their trouble-Cor. Prairie Former.
