THERAPEUTIC VALUE OF OLIVE OIL,

At the last meeting oft Haryenian
Society in London DR.. Ramsk read a
paper on the therapeutic value of olive
oil. The paper consisted of the histo-
ry,of two cases of gout, which he con-
sidered types of the kind OF disease and
especially as to the stage oft in which
the internal administration of olive oil
was moss useful. The first type was
. represented by patient affected with
comparatively acute attacks, ,reappear
ing within very short intervals. and
making little or no way towards con-.
valesenct. Bark, quinine. Iron. had
frequently failed to prevent reappear-
ance of the disease. Cod liver oil was
rarely borne at all. In such cases oI-
i've oil given1 when the patient lapsed
in the interval, had answered all the
requirements OF the case in Dr.. Ram
skill's hands. Nutrition began, to i'm
prove and no more relapses occurred.
DIR. Ramskill said he had found great
benei from the use of olive oil, at The
hospital for paralysis and epilepsy, es-
peclally in cases of lead poisoning, after
the acute symptoms, such as collie. had
subsidized always in the malnutrition
accompanying paralysis of the, extern
sors OF the hands; also, in Cruveilhiers
atrophy and In epilepsy, assooirted
with great cacheqia-in all thesecondi-
tions supposlhg cod liver oil Disagree
ing and therefore inadmissible..

HOW TO MAKE HENS LAY IN WINTER.

j. l.. Peabody. in the Prairie Farmer.
says:
"Let me inform your readers of a plan
to get hens to lay in winter. that learn
ed from Kansas man, something over
a year ago, and tried last winter with
good success. He told me that if I
would let my hens huddle together in
some warm corner, and not let them
roost, l should get plenty of eggs. {
had about twenty hens; my hen house
was a rough shed, eight fees square.
with small window and door on the
east. took down all roosting poles.
leaving the nest boxes only. With a
few short boards, made small shed
about four feet square, on the south
side OF the larger one, and covered it
with corn fodder, (straw is better). |
made hole for the hens to pass from
the large house into the small one. The
result was, my hens continued to Law
all wintef. You will have to drive them
In few times at first; they will soon
learn.to go in themselves. Put in wood
ashes occasionally to keep them from
vernin. There are great many, who
are not able to build an expensive hem
merry, bat any one can fix up a place
like this in an hour o; two, with very
little expense"

This substance is much used in Eng
land (but only of late introduction in
to the United States) as substitute for
oil cloths, and especially in public libra
ries and churches, as 1t deadens the
sounds OF footsteps to remarkable de-
gree. 1t is made by combination OF
powdered cork and the poorer qualities
OF India rubber, and is painted or orna-
mented like the surface of oil cloths
1t is not suitable for chambers, as be-
Ing good conductor of heat, and teel-
ing as cold to the bare feet as wood or
oil cloth. A convenient application of
this substance is for cleaning knives
IND is made by covering a strip of wood
with it; then sprinkling the surface
with the cleansing powder, and rub
bing on the knife. The surface does
not wear away and the result is very
satisfactory.

@A A Legislator who, last year
made contract to vote for bill on
consideration of ten dollars down, and
forty dollars promised in a written
agreement, found out the agreement
could not be enforced, and that the
forty dollars wouldn't be paid.
"Hi!' was his expression. "Dey
cotch me once, cash down next time.''
Another one remarked to a lobbyist,
who showed him hundred dollar bill
in consideration of vote !:
Fore de war sold for fifteen hum
dred dollars-do you tink dat am go
ing to be sold now for hundred dof-
lars /? lam as good now as / was den,

Both disappeared in a mixed coffee
house TO talk it over.
Another offer was that made by an
experienced hand.
II will give you twenty-five dollars

it passes the Senate, ard twenty five

A spuRR1Na sroR y.

Many years ago, IN England, when
travellers were wont to travel on horse
back, and sleep two in bed at tayerns
the following droll incident occurred at
Chester
Two young bloods stopped at the
Red Fox tavern. and while going up
to bed late at night Qt being hot wealth
er,l they discovered the door of one of
the bed rooms open. 1t so happened
that Scotchman and an trishInan had
kicked the cover off, and one of the lat
ter's legs lay naked and nearly out of
bed.
"I'll have some sport now.n said one
OF the bloods to his mate, 'if you'll hold
the light minute"
The candle was held while the young
chap went In, and taking up one OF the
young lrishman's spurs, buckled it on
the heel OF Paddy's naked foot. He
then gave Paddy s leg pinch, and then
hid himself behind the door,
Paddy (though not awakened) drew
MS leg suddenly back, and in this way
sadly damaged the Scotchman's naked
leg withe spur.
"The de'el d-n you" exclaimed Do
maid rubbing his leg, ''an. If you donna
gang OUT o. bed and cut yer toe nails,
l wcel soon be gittin up and throw yer
oot the window, yer loot :"
The lrishman slept on soundly, and
soon put his leg back in its old position
when the young joker who put on the
spur stole up the second time. In went
the leg again, the spur striking the
Scotchman's leg again, who now got in-
to terrible passion, and began TO
pummcl Paddy, exc,aiming as usual
'.Get oot o. bed and cut yer toe nails,
ye loot do yoll fair christian mon
to stan such rough digginY"
This walked up the Irishman who at |
that moment brought the spur to bear |
upon his own other leg, vaulted out of
bed. Having procured light ne look
ed down at the spur with the greatest
astonishment. "By me sowli" said
he. "what a stupid fool is the hostler of /
this inn; sure, and he took off my boots
whin | wint to bed, and has left on one
OF me spurs. Strange 1t is that didn'ss
notice it,"
This explanation being satisfactory
to Donald, harmony was restored, while
the author Of tn mischief sneaked out
OF the room to his own nest.

THE WASTE OF THE FARM.

We take the following article. by M
l.. DeVaugelas. from the Reuae de- Como
ME Rtrdte
Fodder is not plentiful this year. and
viii probably sell very high :he whole
WINTER; the straws are also short. IL is.
then, very Important that nothing on
the farm be lost, and to make useful and
profitable a large quantity of waste
which Is generally thrown aside and
which furnish the elements Of an excel
lent alilnentation for the cattle.
The chaft of wheat and oats are most
of the time thrown on the dung n,le.
though they are rich in nutritious mat,
ter; and moreover, those who have the
good sense to make use of it will obtain
the best result. Therefore, to render
it useful, when the farmers winnow the
grain, they should pat the chaff under
shelter, and slft before making use of
1t, which clears it OF dust, which latter
Is hurtful to the animals. Thea mix
the cha I with roots of any kind. make
q pile OF it, and let it remain about eight
hours, in order to produce Il viscid fer
mentation, which makes it more paIa-
table for the animals. This mixture Is
very good for the cattle. and particular
ly for the sheep. We lave seen whole
locks well fed by this manner, and, con-
sequently, farmers would do wrong not
to take advantage of it.
The stalks of Indian corn may be
bruised or chopped with the cut roots.
They are nice, also, with chaff, straw.
cut hay, bran, or sediments of ell: the
whole must be fermented for thirty-six
or forty-eight hours, and this makes an
excellent food for cattle. The straw OF
buckwheat and thr leaves of different
trees can be used with those mixtures.
In the years of scarcity of fodder, cs-
pecially, the farmer should lose nothing
which may be of benefit to the cattle.
and put them in satisfactory condi-
tion for the spring.
