Scarlet Fever.

A New York Medical journal
says: San eminent physician Of
Boston robs scarlet fever of many
of its terrors by prescribing for the
patient warm lemonade with a lit.
tie muciiage as often as desired,
and the application of warmth to
the stomach. He directs that a
sheet should be wrung out of hot
water and laid on the stomach, re-
newing as often as it cools. Moth
ing else but the lemonade is to be
given. With this treatment he
guarantees that not one in hun
dred cases will prove fatal. We've
known cider alone to cure more
than one obstinate case. A vege-
table acid appears to be the speci-
fic. Enough salt in children's
victuals may almost be said to be
prophylactic for eruptive fevers.

Cure for Horse Distem-
per.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman relieved a valuable
mare by treating her according tc
the following plan
The following is the course ia.
ken with my mare, successfully,
at the instance of a man who had
been employed during the war in
the government hospital for hors-
es, and who had, he said, never
seen it fail when thoroughly tried.
The mare was placed in a warm
but well ventilated stable; was
fed with warm well meshes Of
grain, and was daily fumigated
for three days. She began to be
better, to gain strength, to eat,
and was able to work with moder-
alton. For some two months she
was under the effects of the dis.
ease, but seldom noticeable still
when any signs of it appeared she
was given a bran mash fed hot,
and was fumigated.
In order to fumigate her a large
spoonful of tar, q tablespoonful of
flower of sulphur and three or
four small feathers were placed in
an iron and held under her nose !;
then a live coal was dropped into
the mess, and a smoke arose horri-
bic to smell, but very efficacious.
As a general thing she would ex-
pei from her nostrils in a few min
utes after the smoking, a viscid
mass, and seem much relieved.
l am so well convinced Of the
propriety of this treatment, that l
am prepared to recommend bran
Inashes hot as feed and the above
fumigation as a cure for distemper.

A writer says the use of a
wooden bit made of a spade han
die or a rolling pin, and SO large
that the horse cannot close his
mouth, will generally keep a horse
quiet while icing cleaned, if from
any cause he has become afraid
of or angered at the operation
The bit can be fastened to the
headstall by common brass rings
screwed into the ends. If the
horse is very FESTIVE, one leg may
be strapped up, using knee caps,
and cleaning him on deep litter SO
that a fall may not injure him.
1t should be remembered that
these bad habits are very often
induced by rough treatmet. A
sharp comb may infict much pain
on a thin haired horse.

To See Down a Well.

The New Hampshire Journal
of Agriculture suggests an ex-
cellent plan for exploring the bot
tom Of a we'll:
cit is not generally known how
easy a matter it is to examine the
bottom Of a well, cistern, or pond
of water, by the common mirror.
When the sun is shining brightly,
hold mirror so that the reflected
rays Of light will fall into the wa
ter. A bright spot will be seen at
the bottom, SO light as to show the
smallest object very plainly. By
this means we have examined the
bottoms of wells fifty feet deep,
when half full or more of water.
The smallest straw or other small
object can be perfectly seen from
the surface, In the same way
one. can examine the bottom of
ponds and rivers, if the water be
somewhat clear, and not agitated
by winds or rapid motion. If a
we'll or cistern be under cover or
shaded by buildings, so that the
sunlight will not fall near the
opening, it is only necessary to
employ two mirrors, using one to
reflect the light to the opening,
and another to send it down per-
pendicularly into the water
Light may be thrown fifty or a
hundred yards to the precise spot
desired and reflected downward.
We have used the mirror with
success to reflect the light around
a field to a shaded spot, and also
to carry it from the south window
through two rooms, and then into
a cistern under the north side of
the house. Half a dozen refec-
tions of the light may be made,
though each mirror diminishes the
brilliancy of the light. Let any
one, not familiar with this method,
try it, and he will find it not only
useful, but a pleasing experiment.
1t will, perhaps, reveal mass of
sediment at the bottom of a well
that has been little thought of,
but which may have been a fruit
full source of disease by its decay
in the water"

To Color SCARLET.-Take soft
water enough to cover the cloth,
bring to boiling heat in copper
or brass kettle; then add one and
a half ounces of cream tartar for
every pound of cloth. Boil min
ute or two and then add two oun-
ces of powdered lac and three oun-
ces of madden compound. The
lac and compound must be mixed
in an earthen bowl. Boil few
minutes more /; wet the yarn with
warm water and wiring out; put
in the dye, boil an hour, and rinse
with cold water.--MRS. E. w.

To BEAUTIFY THE TEETH.-Dis
solve two ounces of borax in three
pints OF boiling water, and before
it is cold add one tea-spoonful of
the spirits of camphor, and bottle
for use. A tablespoonful of this
mixture, mixed with an equal
quantity oftepid water and applied
daily with a soft brush, preserves
and beauties the teeth, extirpa-
ties all tartarous adhesion, arrests
decay, induces healthy action OF
the gums, and makes the teeth
pearly white.

HORSES PULsE.-This is best
felt where the artery passes over
the edge of the jaw-bone. To
find it, apply the fingers to the an
giles of the jaw-bone, and slowly
pass them down to where a notch
in the bone may be felt. The ar
terry passes along this notch, where
the throbbing will be perceptible.
tits generally situated about three
inches from the angle of the bone.
In the horse the beats of the pulse
are from So to 3S times a minute,

An Ohio hog raiser advocate

An Ohio hog raiser advocates
the system of pasturing on clover
during the summer. He presents,
as the advantages of this plan, the
statement that an acre of ground
in clover will pasture five hogs
four months, and that it will take
the corn from half an acre to feed
them the same time. The cult
walton of the corn be counts equal
TO the rent of the other half acre.
He further claims that hogs pas
tured on clover are in far better
condition than if fed on corn, as
they are better framed, healthier,
and eat better; and also states
that The land is enriched by the
clover pasturing.

JAPANESE RICE GLUE.-A ce
ment very elegant and strong, il

They simply boil it in water, and
work it into a fine paste. 1t is
said to be very beautiful, snow

that papers pasted together with
it will separate in their own sub.
stances before the glue will give
way. This article is very useful
to ladies when making nice white
paper boxes and other articles fol-
ornamental. purposes.
