Remedies for Poison hy Ivy.

Enclosed | send you few of the rem
edies which have used for curing the
effects of poison ivy: 1st. Take white
ash bark 1.-THE nearer the root the
stronger), and place in a kettle with
enough cold water to cover, and boil
till thick as molasses. Apply as wash,
very mild. 1t is very good, but will
stain any clothing with which it comes
in contact. No more pain is produced
from its use than from that of cold
water.
2. Buttermilk and onions (poundel)
are very good, especially when the body
has become infammed and swollen.
3. Take strong cider vinegar and dis
solve as much salt in it as it will dis
solve, and apply as wash. 1t kills it
quicker than either of the above, but is
very harsh.
4. The herb lobelia, / prepare and use
the same as the first spoken of, it is
very harsh.
5. Take boiling hot water and slap it
on with a small cloth.
These are all very good, as | know by
experience; but for myself [ should
prefer the last one. Rubbing the entire
body with soft soap as soon as you find
yourself poisoned, will prevent its
spreading any further; the soap should
be rubbed to a lather and allowed to
dry on.-H., Nor,calk, 0.

Salt for Oats.

At a meeting of the Farmers Insti-
tute of Eastern Pennsylvania recently,
P. Morris exhibited to the Institute a
sample of oats grown by Ell. Ingersoll,
of the Philadelphia Society for Promot-
ing Agriculture. This was of extraor-
binary size and early maturity, pro-
duced by the application of six bushels
of salt to the acre. The stalks are
much larger than usually seen, the
leaves broader, and in every way supe-
rior to other samples exhibited. Mr..
Ingersoll stated that the advanced con-
dition of his oats, as we'll as the unusual
size Of the stalks, was owing to the fact
that he had sowed broadcast upon the
field six bushels of salt to the acre after
sowing the oats. A large quantity of
salt could be used, but never greater
than forty bushels. Salt, to be effica-
cious on oats, wheat or corn, should be
put on q sandy soil, and not on stiff
clay lands. Mr.. Ingersoll had been
using salt for a number of years, and
found that not only the grain crops
were benefited but the after crops, par
ticularly clover.
