To the Ladies'.

The following remark relative to the prep
GRAFTON of lint 81 ould be read and observed
by all our lady readers:
There have been many conflicting direc-
tions for preparing lint and bandages, and
much confusion Of ideas has resulted there
from. The following are the rules of the
We-tern Sanitary Commissiop: Bandages
| if made of new cloth, should be shranken by
scalding and drying; half worn cloth is
quite as good, if it is not too tender. They
/ should De torn, never cut, in strips from
three fourths of an inch o three inches
wide, and from three to ten yards long; the
narrow strips being for the hand finger, may
be of tie briefer lengths, say from three to
five yards. All must be en..-,;s ses tr0m rm

.c'ly of width; they should be rolled on I.
firmly aud truly as possible, the rell Of band
aces when finished should resemble the
round wooden blocks on which ribbons are
rolled Practice will enable skillfnl fingers
to make them almost as true and solid as if
turned, The end of the bandage should be
turned in and fastened with small sharp
pins. which surgeons always use. the points
carefully turned in. Then with pen or
pencil write the length of the bandage upon
the roll, and it is ready to be sent on its ben
eficent errand Lint should be of linen, not
cotton. and should be raceHed not scraped.
1t is best to pack it lightly in paper boxes.
and is prepared by cutting strips of soft
linen the length of the box, and OF conven-
lent width, from one to two inches; then the
short threads are all drawn ont and heaped
promiscuously in pile. and the long ones
combed free from knots and trimmed exact
" to fit the box, in which they lie like
skeins Of white silk The drawn THREADS
are put up in boxes also. thus making two
kinds of lint, each excellent for its parpose.
These are the precise rules followed at ST.
Louis, and. with slight variations. they are
substantially the same everywhere. Some
hospitals may use wider baudages.o or lint diff
feren,ly prepared, but articles put up accord
ing TO the above directions are certain TO be
acceptable tn taem all. Tho first urgency OF
the want at Washington is supplied. but is is
vet importunate at the West, and new de-
mands may come at any moment, when
few boxes Of the right articles packed and
waiting. may save untold suffering and un
counted lives.

Flax Cotton,

The public is well aware that for many
years persons have been engaged 10 the en-
deavor to co,tonize fax, OF in other words
so to prepare haxen fibre that it could be
used as a substitute for cotton in the manu-
faciure of cheap cloths, twine. &c Two
years ago the .'Rhode Island Society for The
promotion of domestic industry" offered a
premium OF $50 for the best bale Of Flax
Cotton. which should be susceptible Of be-
ing woven into the ordinary printing cloths
by the cotton machinery. n Many samples
were presented in competition for the prize,
but none Of them answered the purpose
throughout, fer which the prize was offered.
A gentleman. says the Cleveland Herald,
residing in South Western Ohio has recent
ly succeeded in completely coltonizing fax.
| He has succeeded in discovering cbemic Il
sgent which removes the gluiinous property
without impairing the strength of the fibre.
The yefting process or that process by
which the gluten is removed, occupies about
three days, and the amount retted depends.
of course, upon the facilities for re,ting. 1t
requires no more time to ret ten tuns than IT
does to ret ten pounds, but Of course requires
mora handling.
The machinery employed is the usual. or
dinary machinery, the entire secret and sue
cess Of the process consists 10 the retting
without destroying the strength of the fibre
The article exhibited to US was . very ex-
cellent article indeed, and resembled ''South
Down" wool rather more than it did either
6ax or cotton. The cost of cottonizing Is
much less than We had any idea it could
possibly Be- done for.
There will be several bales OF this cotton
lied fax on exhibition at the ensuing State
Fair, together with specimens Of twine,
threads. cloths and printing cloths. and the
lnaehinery to prepare it

Fashioned for no idle purpose
Grand in its inception wrought,
Baptized in the blood Of brave mon,
With their life's- breath was it bought.
Was not England's banner tramp'ed
In tho dust beneath its swayf
Did II not half feged, triumphant,
Vindicate its onward way?
Has it not, when Europe's millions.
Sought its broad protective fold
Welcomed, shielded in its glory,
From their prison house OF old.
Has it not, in Anglo Saxon.
Spoken to its mother wierd-
From it's lofticst mountains echoed
Prccepts that will soon be feared?
Preccpts that will make her tremblc
For the grim old lions pride,
When its stars effulgent reigncth
On the worlds embattled tide.
NoWrHnKN now its folds are periled-
Will We not in grand array,
With your serried columns moving,
Sweep Secession from its way?
Will We not with human freedom,
In its adamantine ranks,
Strong and stalwart stand forever,
Guarding all its outward fanks?
Moving on with steady footsteps
In the paths your fathers trod,
Battling for your country's honor.
For your hearthstones and your GoD!

vas,.e of sheisersor sheep.

i VIM. H. LadG, one of the best farmers oi
/ The State of Ohio. who has given especial
attention to sheep. gives the following care
full estimate, in the Ohio Farmer, Of value
of shelter OF sheep, suggested by the re-
mark of a neighbor that sit won't pay to
builI shelter for sheep. This neighbor
kept 1000 head, and lost many animals,
and it is from his losses that a part of this
estimate is made.
Let me make some very low estim ates in
reference 20 the loss occasioned BY this treat
ment In thirty years. First, in the sheep
sheared two pounds of wool per head under
| this treatment, they would have shorn three
pounds had they received good care Sec
ond, one pound difference per head on 900
sheep makes l. 900 pounds. l 900 pounds in
80 years. at 40 cents per pound. $4,000.
IL Is very low estimate, counting sheep at
the lowest common price, tha, flock Of
200 sheep should yield $500 worth Of sur
plus STOCK to sell each year; this in 80 years
aolounts to $4,000. Fee saved by shell
$4,000 simple interest at per cent. an
amount saved in 80 years; S3O.69O; differ
ence of the value of stock on hand a. the
end of thirty years. S1 900; value Of the
shelters 20 the proprietor at the close OF 80
seats, $1,000; amount saved, S65. 600
lona. aas, g,s'--s.l.srs cost say $4,000; addi
keeping shelters in repair vi;OSsp years
S3p. 500 Difference in favor of shelters
and good care, S33, 100. Don't look at this
as a fancy sketch; it is reality. and the
only incorrectness about it is. that the esti-
mated difference in favor of good keeping
is in every particular below the reality.

BGT 1t rarely happens that in our edito-
rial capacity our readers find us Premedi-
tatedly and with malice aforethought en-
gagged in putting any patent medicine,
but during our recent trip to the melan-
choly scenes of Pittsburg Landing there
was one medicine which we found in the
hands of nearly every soldier, giving relief
wherever applied, whether internally or
externally. We refer to Perry Davis Vet
etable Pain Killer. All spoke loud in its
praise, and the kind hearted Surgeon of
one of our Indiana regiments informed US
that he believed it was the only thing that
saved at least half of his regiment from
dying of dysentery during a recent long
march, and we cannot help suggesting to
our friends among the army suffers that it
is one of the articles they should never be
ont of. It is packed in saw dust, two dozen
in each box, and can be forwarded over the
toughest road without danger of breaking.
