COLOGNE WATER.-Take one pint of
alcohol, sixty drops of essence Of berga.
mot, sixty do. of lavender, sixty do. of
lemon, and sixty of orange. Cork up and
shake well, and IL Is flt for use. This is
cheap, and as good as any.
For the night sweats of consumption,
leading Partisan physician employs phos-
phate of lime, in daily doses of from thirty
| to ninety grains, with success, II is said.
This suggests that perhaps limestone re-
gion is a good place of residence for
consumptive.

sweet milk, one pint of bread crumbs,
one teacup of sugar, butter the size of a
hens egg, yolks of three eggs, handful

IT is said that radishes and turnips al
ways do better when planted in new
ground, or at least ground where they
have not heretofore been. Old gardens are
the worst places in the world for radishes.
YoS VIII rarely obtain any sound ones.
Clay mixed with the old soil vitalizes it
greatly and will produce good radishes.

a WRITER to the American Institute
Farmers Club gives the following method
to expel sheep ticks / feed sulphur. 1t
not only keeps them off sheep, but drives
them. feed it with salt well mixed in
equal parts, at the rate of three pounds of
sulphur at one feed to 100 sheep. Then,
after five days | give another dose, the
same as the first. Before begin dosing,
let them get salt-hungry."

minator of cock-roaches. A friend who
was troubled with thousands upon thou
sande OF them, rid his house in very
: few nights by this mixture. Put it upon
IRON plates and. set it where the yermin
are thickest Be careful not to have any

SHEEP DIPs-Sheep dips, containing
e arsenic or other metallic poisons, should
t be used cautiously and not in excessive
: quantities; and although arsenical dips
t are probably more powerful than the dips
which contain no mineral poisons, vet the
r latter are to be preferred for more reasons
v than one. Several cases of death amongst
hooks and herds are reported in England
as the result of the use of sheep dipping
I mixtures; but these have been dips into
0 which arsenic, &c, entered largely.

To CURE FELoN-To cure this pain
tul thing, or rather to check it or nip i
in the bud, the London Lancet, high au
thOrity, says there is nothing like the fol
lowing: AS soon as the pulsation whicl
indicates the disease is felt put directl'
over the spot q fly blister about the siz
of your thumb nail, and let il remain for g.,
hours, at the expiration of which time
I. directly under the surface of the blister
