USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

A REMEDY for sunstroke, which is said
to have proven effectusl in cases where it
has been tried, is to battle the hands, head
face with lemon juice. The effect is imme-
diate.
A GREAT mistake is sometimes made by
d~renching the roots Of newly set trees,
when they do not start to grow as soon as
the owner desires. The ground becomes
sodden, and the roots water soaked, to
their serious injury. Trees never want
much water till the leaves open.
CARRAwAY seeds, finely pounded, with
a small proportion of ginger and salt,
spread upon bread and butter and eaten
every day, especially early Ii the morning
and before going IL bed, are successfully
used in Germany as a domestic remedy
against Mysteries.
TAKE a large turnip and sefape out the
inside, leaving a thick wall all around; I'LL
the cavity with earth, and plant in it some
clinging vine or morning glory. Suspend
the turnips with cords, and in a little time
the vines will Irvine around the strings,
and the turnip, sprOuting from below,
will put forth leaves and stems that will
turn upward and curl around the base.
A wRarES In the Springfield Mass Re
fW5itcdR confirms the stat ment that
Usage orange affords a suitable food for
the subsistence AMI growth of the silk
worm, and adds that the silk produced by
the worm from the csage orange is of a
quality superior TO that produced from the
mulberry, and that the labor attendant on
feeding the worms is much less, and the
whole process of raising much iess tn
pleasant than by the ordinary process.
ENTHUSIASTICALLY heat is the best
remedy. Apply a warm poultice or warm
oil to the ear. Rub the back of the car
with warm laudanum. In case Of fmtid
discharge, carefully syringe the esr with
warm milk and water. In ell cases keep
the ear thoroushly cleansed. Relief is
often given by rubbing the back of The
ear with a little hartshorn and water.-EE-

USE OF A GRNDsToNE-Mechanics
who value a good condition Of their tools,
and other appliances for doing work,
should never ellew their gTindstones to be
used by STRANGERS indiscTiminately, with
out some restrictions as to the manner of
using. Every stone for grinding tools
should be provided with a rest, and the
men taught how to use it. We have seen
the face of a stone gouged so as to require
thorough razing, by ten minutes iDjudici-
u grinding.
A PUhLsT Matched carly in the spring
begins TO lay at the approach of winter,
and pullets Matched late in the summer be-
gin to lay late in the ensuing spring, and
it is by saving a certain proportion Of pull
lets from the early and late broOds that
you make sure Of winter eggs, a few very
early Matched chickens for catching the
highest markets, and a numerous flock of
chickens in the warm months, when rear
ing is least precarious.
Sun SCALD ON SHEEP.-It is often the
case that the hot sun will scald a closely
shorn sheep. A simple and eft ctual rem
edy is fresh butter or lard applied to the
inflamed spot. Sheep are subject 10 so
many accidents that they should be looked
after, regularly, twice each day. If any
thing is wrong it can then be taken in
time; delay III even small things is some
times fatal. 1t is very unwise to keep
sheep i'll a pasture where there is neither
shade nor water. We would advise no
man to own a flock if he does not possess
a pasture well provided with these
Hearth and Home.
To SETTLE COFFEE.-The genuine arti-
Gle can be nicely settled by beating an egg
and stirring it in a batch of coffee, Just as
it is Drowned. The coffee must be cool
enough so as not to cook theegg. Unjust
be left neal the FIRE long enough to dry.
1t settles the coffee as well as to use a
whole egg every time it is prepared forthe
table, and does not take near as many doz-
n in the course of the year. The coffee
pot should stand a few moments after be-
ing taken from the stove, or have IA little
cold water put in.
WASH FOR PLANTs-The Florist and
P0mOtogist says that the following is
strongly recommended for mildew, scale,
red spider, etc, upon greenhouse plants
and out-Of-dOor shrubs and trees: Flour
of sulphur, two ounces, worked to a paste
with a little water; sal soda, two ounces ;
cut tobacco, half an ounce; quicklime, the
size of a ducks egg; water, one gallon.
Boil together and stir for fifteen minutes,
and let cool and settle. In use it is
diluted according to the character of the
plants, which are to be syringed with
water after the application. If Gny of our
readers try this, we advise them to begin
with a weak application, as the compound
of lime and sulphuris very p~otent-Rural

EARN WHAT You SPRNp.-Three-
fourths of the difficulties and miseries Of
men come from the fact that most want
wealth without earning it, fame without
deserving it, popularity without temper
ance, respect without virtue, and happi-
ness without holiness. The man who
wants the best things, and is willing to
pay just what they are worth, by honest
effort and hard self denial, will have no
difficulty in getting what he wants at last.
