Washes for Bruises.

A correspondent of the South
erm CultiratOr gives this recipe
Oil of origanum, oil of spike, of
each a fluid ounce /; gum camphor
an ounce, alcohol a pint. Dissolve
the gum and the oils in the alco-
hol, when it is fit for use.
This makes a stimulating lotion
of most peculiar virtues. 1t may
be applied to a fresh wound,
" neither incised or confused. In
the former, it most surely deter
mines inflammation of the adhesive
character, and secures union by
the first intention, the most favor
able, and therefore most desirable
result of which the case is suscep-
tible. In the case of a confused
wound, it gently stimulates the
vessels of the part, and causes the
removal Of the blood that has been
effused at the same time remov.
ing tumefaction, pain, soreness,
etc. If applied early, andrepeat-
ed two or three times a day tor a
few days, nothing further will be
required as a lotion. OF course
whether the wound be a smooth
clean cut, or a lacerated wound,
the part mustbe brought in oppo-
sition, and so maintained in the
case of cut, by stitches, of a lac.
Grafton, by light bandage. If
the wound be of some days stand
ing, and attended with high in.
flammatory action, heat, pain,
etc., then a dressing of cold or tie.
pid water should be resorted to,
and continued until the heat of
the part shall have been reduced,
when the lotion may be applied
with the hand, and the part gent
ly rubbed for ten or fifteen min.
utes at a time, and this course
should be repeated two or three
times a day, using, or admitting
the water dressing, as the pres
ence or absence of local heat in the
part may indicate.

Dig Around the Trees.

This advice needs to be repeat
ed daily. Every farmer knows
that hill of corn or potatoes will
not amount to much unless cult
waited, and yet there are many
who will neglect to give the same
care to a tree, which is worth a
hundred hills of either Of the for
mer. In rich soils, trees may
grow rapidly without cultivation,
and no amount of grass or weeds
will retard them; but there are
other things besides growth to be
looked after. If the weeds and
grass are allowed to grow up
around the stems of apple, peach
or ounce trees, the bark will be-
come soft near their base by being
shaded, and thereby be in suita-
BILE condition for the reception of
the eggs which will eventually be-
come peach or apple-borers. Take
any dozen young apple-trces, in
sections where the apple-tree borer
is abundant, and allow q portion
to be choked with weeds, and the
remainder we'll cultivated, and
then watch the result. From our
own experience we believe that
the chances are nine to one in IA
yor of those cultivated being free
from the pest. The same is true
in regard to many other trees
which are liable to the attacks of
various species of insects. Young
evergreens should never have their
lower branches shaded with weeds
and grass, and the soil as far as
the lower branches extend should
be stirred at least once in two or
three weeks during the entire sum-
mer, or else apply some kind of
mulchIng that will effectually
keep down the weeds. When the
trees become large and strong,
these precautions will not be ne
cessary. Every blade OF grass or
small weed that is allowed to grow
about the stem Of young trees will
rob the soil of moisture, and this
fact alone ought to be sufficient to
make every one practice thorough
and careful culture. Hearth and

Salt.


Most of the salt used in the
Western, andSouthern States which
il on the Mississippi, is knosn
as Liverpool salt, and, it comes
first to New Orleans. A consid.
cradle part, however, has been
made on the Kanawha river,
whence it was shipped into the
Ohio for the supply of Southern
Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky ;but
the supply Of late years has dimin-
ished. That part of the West
reached by the great lakes has re-
ceived immense quantities of On
ondaga salt, but lately Michigan
has entered the market as a com
petitor of no mean pretentions.
1t has been known for several
years that there was a most won.
derful deposit of salt in Louisiana
and now, since this has been proved
actually to be the case, it is still
more wonderful that it was not
drawn UPON to supply the Missis.
sippi country. The locality re.
ferred to is on an island known as
Petite Anse, in the parish of St,
Mary, ninety miles westward from
New Orleans, about a mile and a
half from navigable salt water, and
something farther from the railroad
running from New Orleans to
Opelousas. The Bay of Atchaf.
alaya lies a few miles to the south,
and the adjacent country is sim
liar TO a prairie, while ii is but a
few feet above the level OF the
sea.
The island contains but 1000
acres, and it rises gradually a hum
dred feet or more, while the salt
is found only ten or twelve feet
below the surface. From analy-
sis made at various times by sew
eral chemists, this mineral has
been declared to contain 95 per
cent. of chloride of sodium or COM
mon salt. 1t lis white and unstain-
ed, is 10 irregular cubical crystals
about a quarter Of an inch in d.
ameter, very firm, and has the re-
markable quality of being able to
resist moisture. In comparison
with any salt made by boiling, it
is of superior purity, while there
is no rock salt in the world which
excels it. In attempting to ascer-
tain the extent of this deposit,
shafts have been sunk to a depth
offfty feet without finding limit.
