crops with the least trouble and expense. lie
knows that the easiest way to do this is to enrich
his land, and that, if he procure it, he should
use some manure which, while producing crop,
will add strength to the soil. 1t is said that
Bangh's Raw Bone Phosphate will do this. We
advertised this article in our columns some time

AFTER many experiments by the officers of the
Smithsonian Institute and other scientific gentle
men, certain cure is said to have been found for
snake bite 1t is as follows:
Ten grains iodine Of potassium, and thirty grains
iodine. to be dissolved in one ounce of water, to
be kept in bottle with a ground glass stopper,
and to be applied externally-neuer internally. If
possible stop the circulation in the parts bitten by
bandaging and use stick or anything to tighten
the bandage, and apply the solution to the bite
with piece Of cotton, sponge or anything that
will hold the fluid, and then bind it to the wound
and keep wet till the cure is affected. 1t is said
that five drops of undiluted poison from the fangs
of rattle snake, mixed with FIVE drops of the
above solution, and inserted in wound with
syringe was as harmless as ten drops of water.
