A WRITER in the Journal of the Royal
Agricultural Society, describing the per.
msnence of the action of lime, says that
he knows a piece of ground containing

but heath. A good dressing of lime was
applied on the surface OF the sward which
done several years ago and totally eradi-

testify, from the richness and sweetness
of the herbage, the texture of which has
been entirely changed by the application
of lime.

CoUGH AND HEAvEs IN HoRsEs.-A
western physician, who keeps several
horses, finds suntlower seed q valuable
remedy for cough and heaves. So useful
does he consider it, that he is careful to
keep q good supply of it always on hand.
He claims to have cured marked case of
heaves by feeding quart or two of the
seed daily, and when any of his horses or
mules show disposition to cough, feed
of suntiower seed is given at once, and
continued until relief is afforded. 1t is
said that on the prairies where rosinweed
is abundant, horses never have the heaves
and that the resinous leaves of the plant
are dried and fed in moderate quantities
with beneficial results
A HUsK Door MAT.-Take an inch
board the size you wish your mat; dres 1t
neat; rule it each way, drawing the lines
~ inches apart, bore a hole with q
inch auger in each square double piece
of broom-twine, pass it through the holes.
one at time have the husks dampened,
take sufficient quantity to fill the hole
very tight, pass it through the loop OF
twine, draw it through until the double
: end of the husk is l y inches long, draw
, the twine out, and proceed in the same
J way until all the holes are filled. Then
take sharp knife, and cut the double
husks, spread them apart, trim the uneven

WE are judged usually by our public
, successes, by the esteem of distin guished

the feeling of those before whom we play
no part What does the nurse in the nurs
cry think of us, or the porter in the store
{ OF the butcher boyP If a mans children
confide in him-if all whom he employs
, at home and in his business feel that he is
full of thought and sympathy for them
f as for brethren-if those who meet him
, perceive the charm of bis urbanity, and
as they draw nearer and know him better
, honor and love him more and more, we
may be very sure that he has the noblest
human qualities, whose influence will be a
, possession to us forever.-G. W. Curtis.
REMOVING GREASE SPoTs.-A simple
f agent for removing grease spots from car
/ pets and silk and wooden fabrics, is very
useful. Carbonate of magnesia, saturated
with benzole and spread upon a grease
spot to about one third of an inch in
thickness, answers well for this purpose
A sheet of porous paper should be spread
upon the benzonated magnesia, and flat
iron, moderately warm, put upon the tor
, OF all. The heat OF the iron passes through
and s0ftens the grease, which is then ab
sorbe1 by the porous magnesia. The flat
iron may be removed in the space of on,
,, hour, and the magnesia dust brushed off
Soap.stone dust may be used in the sam,
manner. and answer nearly as good pur
nose
