gentleman Of large experience, and fully as
humane as most of US, says he gets rid OF
rats by putting potash 10 their holes. and
runs. The poor wretches get it on their
feet. and ovet their fur, then they lick it,
and don't like the taste Of it; it burns them
somewhat, and the more they see of it. the

soon as the application is made. 70 get rid

TEA LEAVES AS An APPLICATION 10 Burns
AND SCALDs.-Dr. Searles Of Warsaw, Wis
says in the Chicago Medical Examiner .
- Some few years since, J accidentally found
that pOultice of tea leaves, applied TO small
burns and scalds, afforded immediate relief
and determined to give it more extensive
trial when opportunity should present, and
which soon occurred. 1t was in the case Of a
child fourteen months old [ pom examina-
ton, | found the entire anterior portion IF
the body, arms, and legs blistered and deeply
burned from kettle Of hot water which The
child hal upset upon itself. The case, to
say the least, was unfavorabIe for the success
Of any remedy | prepared a large poultice,
sotenlng the leaves with hot water, and,
while yet quite lcarm, applied it upon cotton
wool, over the entire burned surface A lmost
like magic, the suierings abated and. with
out the use Of any ofher uRodyne, the child
soon fell into quiet sleep. In few hours
removed the application. and reapplied
where 1t was necessary. / found the parts
dIscOlored and apparently tanned. The acute
senslbility and tenderness had nearly disap-
pearcd, and the Iit-le pat cnt passed through
the second and third stages under Ear more
favorable circumstances svmp tOms than was
at first anticipated, making a recovery in
about two weeks. Since then, on several oc-
casIOns | have had reason to commend tea
leaves, till now have come to prefer it
above all other remedies in the first stage of
burns and scalds. | think it must recon
mend itself to the profession, not only on
account of its intrinsic worth, but also by
reason Of its great convenience, being 50
readily obtained. | am not aware that any
mention has been made thus far OF this ar
ticle in this connection, and hope that
others viii find it as useful in their hands as

wheat.

The yield of wheat in Roane and adjoining
counties is much better than was anticipated.
Along the line of railroad in other parts of East
Tennessee the result is the same. A gentleman
who has lately travelled through Virginia, re-
ports the crops of that State as very fine, poor
yields being the exception and not the rule. In
McMinn county, however the crop is very slim.
The finest wheat we have yet seen is a sample
sent from Rogersville, Hawkins county, by j.
r. Armstrong, who writes that it will yield
from twenty-five to thirty bushels per acre. and
we should think, from the size weight and
plumpness of the heads, that he is not too high
in his figures. Can any of our farmer friends
show us a finer field, and will Mr.. Armstrong
write to us how he raised it, kind of wheat,
manner and time of planting, kind of soil, sc, ?
