USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

A REMEDY for sunstrokc, which is said
to have proven efectual in cases where it
has been tried, is to bathe the hands, head
face with lemon juice. The effect is imme.
diatc.
A GREAT mistake is sometimes made by
drcnching the roots of newly set trees,
when they do not start TO grow as soon as
the owner desires. The ground becomes
soddcn, and the roots water 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 carly in the morning
and before going to bed, are successfully
used in Germany as domestic remedy
against Mysteries.
EAK-ACHE.-Gcnerally heat is the best
remedy. Apply warm poultice or warm
oil to the ear. Rub the back of the car
with warm laudanum. In case of fetid
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-Ec-

A WRITER in the Springfield Mass Re-
l)a16lScun confirms the statement that
Usage orange affords 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 a
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.
USE OF GRlNDsroNE.- Mechanics
who value good condition Of their tools,
and other appliances for doing work,
should never allow their grindstones 10 be
used by strangers indiscriminately, with
out some restrictions rs to the manner of
using. Every stone for grinding tools
should be provided with 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 hatched 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, a 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 prccarious.
Sun ScALD ON SHEEP.-It is often the
case that the hot sun will scald a closely
shorn sheep. A simple and etfectual rem
edy is fresh butter or lard applied to the
int1amed spot. Sheep are subject to 50
many accidents that they should be looked
after, regularly, twice each day. II 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
a pasture we'll provided with these

To SETTLE CoFFEE.-The genuine arti

and stirring it in batch Of coffee, Just a.

EARN WHAT You SrEND.-Threc
fourths Of the difficulties and miserics o
men come from the fact that most wan
wealth without earning it, fame withou
deserving it, popularity without temper
ancc, respect without virtue, and happi
ness without holiness. The man wht
wants the best things, and is willing t.
pay just what they are worth, by homes
effort and hard self denial, will have NJ
difficulty in getting what he wants at last
1t is the men who want goods on crc'li
that are snubbed and disappointed an<
overwhelmed in the end. Happiness can
not be bought by the bottle, nor caught W
by the excursion train, nor put on witt
any robe or jewels, nor eaten at any feast
1t docs not exist in any exhilaration, ex
citemcnt, or ownership, but comes from
the use of the faculties Of body and mind
