Asa Kemper, Ross county, Ohio, writes
to the american Agriemltarist that bleeding
from wound on man or beast may be stop
ped by mixture of wheat flour and com
mon salt, in equal parts. bound on with a
cloth. If the bleeding be profuse, use a
large quantity, say from one to three pints.
1t may be left for hours, or even days, if
necessary. In this manner he saved the
life of a horse which was bleeding from a
wounded artery; the bleeding ceased in FIVE
minutes after the application. It was left
on three days, when it worked loose, was
easily removed from the wound, which very
soon healed.

half long. and with cross-cut at the top,
the whole shaped like the letter L. Then,
from your cion, slice out good bud with
a little of the bark and wood attached.
Now, with the other end of your budding
knife, (if you use the common one raise
the bark of the stock, and slip the bud into
the slit, and press it down to the bottom of
the cut. Be careful not to bruise the bud
or the adjoining lips of the bark. Finish
the work by tying down the bud and bark
with bass mating or soft woolen-yarn. Let
the whole wound be we'll covered, so as to
exclude air and moisture except from the
point of the bud This whole operation
should be done quickly. If the bud is
long exposed, it dries, and is less likely 10
grow. A round minute is full long enough
for the operation. A smart builder will in
sert and tie 600 to 1000 buds in day, and
if he has boys to tie after him, 1000 to
5000. 1t must be done expertly, too. IF
the bud has any torn and ragged edges, or
if the wood under the slit is bruised with
the knife, expect failure. Where one has
but few buds to insert, he should choose
cloudy day, or the moist hours of morn
ing and evening.
After- Treatment. a fortnight after
the insertion, examine the buds to see
whether they have ''taken.' This will be
shown by their plumPness and freshness.
The bandages should then be loosened a
little, to allow room for expansion of stock
and bud. Early the following Spring, cut
off the stock with a sloping cut two or
three inches above the bud. The bud will
then push with much vigor.-Anaerieam
