In letter to an editor of the american
AgricuIturSst, John Johnston, writes "If
you put good sounding bell on one of
your Cotswold sheep, the dogs will not
be 90 apt to hurt them; but he best
thingII ever tried is little strychhine on
piece Of meat-and il the meat is tainted,
they find IL better. have often got rid
of dogs in this way. Put 1t around your

VERY high chlmneys, such as two near
Glasgow, which are over 400 feet high,
are very apt to get out of perpendicular,
under the influence of high wind, before
the mortar has time to harden. They are
generally sttaightened by repeatedly saw
ing into the bulging side, and on temov-
ing the saw the chimney settles the
thickness of the cutting. The Scientific
american mentions the case of chimney
345 feet high, in Barmen, Prussia, in
which the method tried was to replace
whole layers Of brick by thinner layers,
and allow the chimney 60 subside.
SCoURINa KNtvEs.-A lady correspond
ent of the american AgricuIturtS writes
that for five years she has used water lime
for securing knives, forks, tins, and the
like. She says: 81 have box with a
partition and keep the lime in one part
and the cloths in the other. / wet q
small cloth little and dip it in the lime,
and after the articles are well washed and
wiped, rub them until the spots are re-
moved. Then take a larger, dry cloth,
dip it in the lime, and rub the articles
until polished to suit me. Wipe off the
dust from the knives and forks with a
dry cloth, and they are ready to put
away"

SPRAINs AND BRUIsEs.-The best treat
ment of sprains and bruises is the apph
cation of water, of such temperature as il
most agreeable. The degree of tempera
ture varies with the temperature o
weather and the vigor of circulation

circulation is low, use warm water. The
bruised or sprained part may be immersed
in pail of water, and gently pressed ol
manipulated with the hand or a soft cloth
for ten or fifteen minutes, or even longer
