TREATING ANIMAL REFUSE FOR MANURE.
4 correspondent of the New York
Farmers Club wishes to know what is
best to do with butchers refuse for ma
nure. Frank Curtis replies: Decay
ing animal matter acts best as manure
when compos6ed With barn manure and
loan. with plenty of plaster to absorb es-
Gaping gases. When muck and plaster
is used in sufficient quantity, lime may
! be mixed in, to hasten decomposition.
Let him dig shallow pit, shaped like
saucer, and throw the offal into it in lay
ers, using rotten straw or weeds, or rot
ten turf, with some plaster, if the odor is
rank, and cover all with three or four
inches of garden earth or forest mold.
The principal is, that animal decay ard
vegetable decay neutraliza each other,
and convert matters noisome and often
sive. into the choicest plant food.
| USING OF SULPHUR IN NESTS.
The powdered sulphur sold by all
druggists is cheap and handy preventive
of parasites upon young chickens. At
ter hen has been setting till we'll estab-
lished. sprinkle small handful upon her
eggs when she is off, and upon every
| part of the nest, and for a little distance
all around it. Then when she goes on
disturb her just enough to make her
| brlstle her feathers, and then Outs an
other handful down to the skin on her
| head, neck, and every part of her body
not 10 contact with the nest, and do not
oais to scatter pinch under each wing.
Then when the chickens are Matched,
there will be no vermin whatever to leave
the hen and gather upcn the youns as is
frequently the case when nc precautions
are taken. One thorough application
such as we have described will suffice

CURE FOR A FELON.
We warn our readers against paying
attention to any newspaper paragraphs
in reference to health and disease, unless
the name of the writer is attached. Their
is seiewtifc cure for felon always safe
always efficacsous, relieving instantane-
Gus and always get a physician to plunge
his lancet down to the buns. a natural
felon is born thief and physiological
felon is boil between the bone and the
sinew, or ''fascia' as the doctors love to
talk. When the boil is under the skin
only, it is painful enough until it breaks,
that rs until the skin divides or burst
and lets out the yellow matter; but when
| 1t is remembered that the sinew is as
much tougher than the skin as a beet
hide Is tougher than paper, it is easily
to see that the pain Of boil, under the
| sinew, is more terrible than one under
the thin skin, and that it must take long
| es So make its way through the tascia
than through the skin hence, instead of
passing many sleepless nights and ago.
nlzlng days in waiting for the matter to
the tough tendon, an educated surgeon
advises the use Of the lancet as above !;
for the cure Is just as certain, and the re-
lief from the agoizlne pain is just as in
Simultaneous, as la the case Of the extrac
ton of an aching tooth. The cause of a
felon is usually a bruise of the finger
heavy enough to reach down to- the bone
and to infaMe it.-HuUS Journal of
Health.
DEODORIsER FOR cEssPOoLs.
Take of slaked lime one pound, crude
sulphate of iron four pounds, put them
into pail and fill up with water. Stir
all together until the iron salt is quite
dissolved at which time the lime decom-
poses it, settiug free iron oxid in the
form of black brown precipitate. When
required for use, stir well together, and
use one or two quarts as may be found
needful. The bad odors will be instant
ly found to cease. Nauseous gases will
be mostly composed of sulphur compound
which unite with iron, producing inert
products. The crude sulphate Of iron is
commonly known as green copperas.
Builders use it, when mixed with lime as
above, for brushing over old brick walls,
previously to pointing them.
OFFENSIVE BREATH.
From six to ten drops of the concen-
trated solution of chloride cf soda in a
wineglassful of pure spring water, taken
Immediately after the additions OF the
morning are completed, will sweeten the
breath by dlsinfecting the stomach, which
far from being injured, will be benefited
by the medicine. Ii necessary, this may
be repeated in the middle of the day.
In some cases the odor from carious teeth
is combined with that of the stomach. If
| the mouth is well rinsed with teaspoon
| full Of the solution of the chloride in a
tum bier of water, the bad odor of the
teeth will be removed.
