To Wash Me,7no Stockings. The same
method should be pursued as for fannels
and for all wooden and cottongoods. Boil
the soap to make a lather, wash them in
this warm, and rinse in second lather
(if white mix a little blue). Never rinse
in plain water, or use cold Iather; and
never rub the soap upon the merino or
flannel; the one shrinks, the other
thickens and spoils the wool.

of cream Pass it through |
fine sieve, and salt it to taste. Flavor ii

AaotAer Weed Made Usefid.-For
many years the farmers. have been |
tronbled with pestiIent weed called mel
low. which interfened greatly with yege-
triton and dcfed all the efforts at exter
mination. By universal consent IL was
voted a meaner nuisance than the Cana |
da thistle. But young Hoosier, J. I'll.
Mcconnell, has learned to utilize it, and |
it now promises to become one of the |
most profitable products of the State. |
The fibre, which is very fine, is from seven
TO twelve feet long and can be separated |
from the stock with less labor than hemp, |
and yields at least a ton to the acre. 1t
bleaches to a snowy whiteness and takes
and holds any color, which flax will not
do. It grows readily on medium sol, and

not be killed out. It is believed that a
discovery of incalculable value has been
made.
The Cure of CatarTh Now that the
much dreaded disease, catarrh, is so prev
alent through the country, we deem the
following, which we clip from an exchange
we'll timed. and from personal knowledge
of its efficacy, can unhesitatingly recon-
mend it to our readers:
Take one part finely pulverized saltpe-
ter, mix with two parts white sugar re-
duced to -four This is an effectual RENE
dy in all stoppages of the head. It must
be snuffed up the nose dozen times or
more day, according to the severity of
the affection. Persons frequently die
from catarrh in the head, the disease be-
coming so bad that the mucus, instead of
discharging through the nose, as il should
do, falls down the throat and lodges on
the lungs. producing many a sore throat,
the cause of which is not suspected, and
terminating fatally, in many instances, in
that most dreadful of all diseases, con
sumption.
GIVE personal attention TO ali live stock;
see that they are fed, watched and sailed
regularly.
