PREVENTION OF Poison BY
RATTLEsNAKE.--Dr w e ir
Mitchell states that the applica-
ton Of carbolic acid, immedi-
ately on the receipt of the inju-
ry, prevents both local and gem
eral poisoning. The pure acid,
however, if applied in too great
quantity, is liable to produce
sloughing and even dangerous
symptoms; hence it is best
used in the proportion of two
parts Of acid and one Of alco-
hol. Given internally, or APP
piled to the wound at late pc
riod, it produces no effect. 1t
is believed to act, not by neu-
traIizing the poison, but by
causing contraction of the small
vessels, and thus preventing its
absorption.

To Remove Warts.

Purchase a dimes worth Of
spirits OF hartshorn; battle the
warts, orif very numerous, that
portion of the hand where the
warts are, with a small portion
of the spirits of hartshorn, each
night and morning, for about
three weeks, not washing imme.
diately after. The use of it
will not cause any pain unless
lit comes in contact with a cut or
bruise. A cure is usually effec.
tied in about three weeks.
The same treatment for corns,
lis one of the most effectual rem
edies ever tried; pairing the sur
face of the corn each day as it
grows hard, being careful not
to pare SO close as to draw blood
or make them tender. Keep
the vial containing the spirits
we'll corked or else it will soon
evaporate.

EARTH-CURE FOR ULCERS
I dried and pulverised some
clay, says a writer in The CO'Hs-
try Gentleman, and recommen-
dcd it as a valuable remedy to a
Ineighbor woman who had for
ten years had a very bad ulcer
on her ANGLE. She had paid
our best physician over $50 for
treatment, without any relief
She applied the dry clay almost
constantly for about six months
and a perfect cure has resulted.
The first effect Of the prepare
ton was toremovet the inflamma-
ton and relieve pain, and now
she says there is no scar remain
ing, and her limb which was
stiff and lame, is as elastic as
when she was a girl. The wo-
man is very large, fleshy person,
labout 40 years of age. [ con-
sidered the test a very severe
one, and the result very salts
factory. About a gallon Of pull
verified clay was used.

THE TEMPERATURE OF Gel
LARs.-It is important that the
temperature of cellars in which
roots are stored should be kept
sufficiently low. A little
below FREEING point is right for
them. If much warmer, early
potatoes, onions and turnips
will sprout and become dam
aged. No place on the farm
needs to have a thermometer
kept there more than the root
cellar; and constant attention
should be given to maintain an
equal and proper temperature.

How TO FIT A COLLAR TO A
HoRsE.-The plan adopted at the
West, which we are assured by
men who have been long in the
collar business, does not irjure the
collar in the least, il to Dip it in
water until the leather is thor
oughly wet, then put it on the
morse, securing the names firmly,
keeping it there until it becomes
dry. 1t is all the better if heavy
loads are to be drawn, as that
causes the collar to be more even
Iy fitted to the neck and shoulder.
II possible the collar should be
kept on from four to five hours,
when it will be perfectly dry, and
retain the same shape ever after
wards and as it is exactly fitted
to the form of the neck, will not
produce chales nor sores on the
horses neck.

SALTFoR CATTLE.-In speak
ing of the Importance of regu-
larly sailing cattle the, Canada
Errmer, among other remarks,
makes the following: "W c
have lately observed many head
of stock dropping, rough II
skin, and apparently suffering
from loss of appetite. We had
thought it was entirely owing
10 the constant irritation from
flies and the long continued dry
weather. Upon questioning
the owners, however, we gener-
ally find that periodical sailing
has been neglected; while on
own cattle which have received
their regular weekly allow,
ance of salt, appear sleek ar
healthy"

Sell Early in the Season.

The Nashville Banner has the
following suggestions in regard
10 the ''hog crop" which are
worthy the farmers attention
1t is suggested from every
quarter that the best prices to
TIC realized will be those paid
early in the season, and it stands
rather strongly to that reason.
We must remember that there Is
an immense amount of the old
stock of provisions to be car
ricd over into next year, which
fact, coupled with the large ex-
cess of the present crop, will
inevitably produce continued
depression in the provision mar
ket. At this season of the year
provisions usually stiffen; but,
ON the contrary, there is a mani
fest weakness in this depart
ment at the present time.
Again, we are led to believe
that the exports to Europe viii
not be SO heavy. Ireland has
an increase of $4,000 head
and the crop in Englandis large
This country heretofore shipped
largely to Great Britain.
Although the prices of pro
visions are now much lower thar
at any period for many years, i
must follow from the reasons
given above, that this time mex
year, or early in 1872, prices
will show a decided reduction
from the present rates. We Dc
not mention these facts to dis
courage farmers, but to inform
them of the situation. The
truth is, the majority of on
farmers are interested in low
prices, while he who raises t.
sell, will, after all, make a goot
profit as long as fattenlng stun
are cheap.

FATTENING AND FEEDING
ANIMALs.-The hunter knows
that long before the cold wealth
er sets in, bears, deers, beavers,
muskrats, and birds are all fat,
and have not only their winter
coat on their backs, but are
well lined inside, as a protec-
ton against the cold. If we
would learn q lesson from this,
we would hurry upour fat stock
while they would naturally gain
most rapidly, and get our stock,
generally, into good condition,
and shelter them well now, be-
fore the extreme cold makes ir-
.reparable draughts on their sys-
TEN. The rule Of the farmer
should be, like that Of a good
business man, to have means on
hand to meet all drafts 6etore
they are due.

1t has been suggested that the
use Ct metallic instead Of glass
lamps would lessen the fatality of
kerosene oil. The brittle glass
lamp, which breaks by a fall or
explosion. scatters the burning
fluid over the bystanders and a,
bout the room. The metallic lamp
may blow off its top and smash
shade and chimney, but it does
not break into fragments and scat
ter the flames.

To PURIFY THE BLooD.-A
well-known physician says that
he considers the following pre-

as the best he has ever used
One ounce yellow dock, one
half ounce horse radish, one
quart hard cider. Dose one
wine-plassful four times a day.

Pumpkin Pie Makers will do
well to remember the New Eng
land method of making pumpkin
pie without pastry. After the pie
dish is oiled, dust the bottom and
sides well with corn meal or
wheat flour; pour in the sauce
aud bake. Care should be OBJ
served in serving, but with a broad
pie-kniie no trouble will attend.

SELECT POETRY.

The following poem was written many years
ago by Or. A. HILL, of Norwalk, Conn, au-
thor Of "our Baby" which we published a
few months since, and which was so widely
read and appreciated by those whose hearts
vibrate at the touch Of the muse, in setting
forth the beauty and loyeliness Of childhood.
We commend these charming verses to al
lovers Of bsbyhood, and The ballowed asso'
Citations that surround IT.
We have fond little treasure,
Joyous and bright as the morn,
Loved without stint or measure,
Ever since ii was born
'Tis dear little girl and her golden hair,
Falls in ringlets bright DER her forehead fair.
And CLOSE by the side Of our bed,
This precious little bundle
Every night is laid,
Snug ia her little "trunde,"
Smiling so sweet, that il sometimes seems,
Good angels must tai * to the child in her dreams
And every night she comes,
Weary of frolic and play
Then softly her ycsper huns,
And kneels by her bed to pray
And then as soon Ms her prayers are said,
She nestles right down in her "trundLebed."
The clothes are folded neat,
In winter, all snugly tuckd in,
The sc0Uerlet," bidRket gnd sheet
Drawn under the darling's chin,
Then all you can see is her baby-head,
AS she sleeps for The night in her trundle-6fd.
And often we come to kncel
Where our little treasure lies
And PRAYERS such as parents feel,
We send uD TO the skies
For W. hear of death, and we come to dread
The loss of our child from her 'trundle bed
We think--yes often we think,
And what if the child should die ?
The heart for a moment will sink,
And tear drop mOisten The eye;
Fondhearts are now bleeding ,asothers hav6bled
While they gaZcd on avacant but dear little bed
Affection hath reared her shrine,
BY the lowliest things Of carth
And the holest feelings entwine,
Round the spot that gave us birth
Thus we love the place where our baby sleeps
And affection her nightly vigil keeps.
'Tis plain old fashioned thing,
That little taby bed.
Where love hex offerings bring,
And angels tightly tread
Yet chord may be touched by tLe mercst toy
That shall dellge the heart with tide of Joy
| We love it, and who shall dare,
| These holy-ieelings deride,
Like that PRECIOUS sold arm OdirP
And a thousand things beside
So. whether our child be living or dead
A dear little thing is that ttruHdle-Jed."
