USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

n REMEDY IOr sunSlTOke, winch is SAID
to have proven effectual in cases where it
has been tried, is to bathe the hands, head
face with lemon juice. The effect is imme-
diate.
A GREAT mistake is sometimes made by
drenching 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 waters soaked, to
their serious injury. Trees never want
much water till the leaves open.
CARRAwAY seeds, finely pounded, with
small proportion of ginger and salt,
spread upon bread and butter, and eaten
every day, especially early in the morning
and before going to bed, are successfully
used in Germany as domestic remedy
against Mysteries.
TAKE large turnip and scrape out the
inside, leaving thick wall all around fill
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 twine 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 WRITER in the Springfield (Mass. Re
publican confirms the statement that
Usage orange affords a suitable food for
the subsistence and growth of the silk
worm, and adds that the silk produced by
the worm from the Usage orange is of
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 less un-
pleasant than by the ordinary process.
EAR-ACHE.-Generally heat is the best
remedy. Apply warm poultice or warm
oil to the ear. Rub the back of the ear
with warm laudanum. In case of f9tid
discharge, carefully syringe the ear with
warm milk and water. In all cases keep
the ear thoroughly cleansed. Relief is
often given by rubbing the back of the
ear with little hartshorn and water.-Er-
change.
USE OF A GRINDsToNE.-Mechani
who value good condition of their tools,
and other appliances for doing work,
should never allow their grindstones to be
used by strangers indiscriminately, 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 stone gouged so as to require
thorough razing, by ten minutes injudici-
GUS grinding.
A PULLET Matched early 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 certain proportion OF pull
lets from the early and late broods that
you make sure of winter eggs, 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 q closely
shorn sheep. A simple and effectual rem
edy is fresh butter or lard applied to the
intlamed spot. Sheep are subject TO 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 in even small things is some
times fatal. 1t is very unwise to keep
sheep in pasture where there is neither
shade nor water. We would advise no
man to own flock if he does not possess
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 batch of coffee, Just as
it is Drowned. The coffee must be cool
enough so as not to cook the egg. 1tmust
be left near the fire long enough to dry.
1t settles the coffee as well as to use a
whole egg every time it is prepared for the
table, and does not take near as many doz-
ems in the course of the year. The coffee
pot should stand a few moments after be-
ing taken from the stove, or have little
cold water put in.
WASH FOR PLANTs.-The Florist and
Ponaologist 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 paste
with 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 any of our
readers try this, we advise them to begin
with weak application, as the compound
of lime and sulphur is very potent.-Rural
Neso Yorker.
EARN WHAT You SPEND.-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
1t is the men who want goods on credit
that are snubbed and disappointed and
overwhelmed in the end. Happiness can
not be bought by the bottle, nor caught up
by the excursion train, nor put on with
any robe or jewels, nor eaten at any feast.
1t does not exist in any exhilaration, ex-
citement, or ownership, but comes from
the use of the faculties of body and mind.
