IT is said by very good authority that
warm turpentine applied directly to the
wound will work speedy and permanent
cure in most cases of lockjaw. Cold tur-
pentire is also recommended as an appli-
cation to recent cuts and bruises.

culturit pronounces as the best remedy,
lime, slaked dry with water, in which
carbolic acid has been dissolved, one part,
and dry air slaked lime three parts mix
together and sprinkle on the leaves, while
wet with dew. Where they are very nu-
merous on a leaf, it is better to remove it
and destroy the insects by burning.
GRAHAM GEMs-Take half-pint sweet
milk, half-pint cold water; stir into
it enough sifted Graham -four to form a
batter rather thick for griddle cakes; stir
well, and bake Immediately. Drop into
hot, oiled gem-pans, and bake twenty
minutes in rather hot oven, diminishing
heat toward the last. If preferred, they
may be made all of milk or cold water,
or fine flour instead of Graham, or half of

ner: "Spread a small piece of bread with
molasses; cut in pieces three-fourths inch
square, and pat where yoGr rats will get
at it. Repeat this each night for week,
increasing the quantity each time. By
this time all your rats are fully baited.
Now take good slice of bread and mo-
lasses and sprinkle it with arsenic, cut
and put out as before. As soon as all is
still each rat takes his supper very greed

CLEAN SEEDs.-Good seeds are of spe-
cial importance. Be sure that all
whether field, grass, vegetable or flower
seeds-are perfectly clean, and the best of
| their kind. If you have homegrown
seeds. none should be sown except the
produce of superior plants. In pur-
chased seeds, of course you must trust to
your seedman for purity. In wheat, for
instance, there is nothing so efficacious
in keeping it from turning to chess" as
sowing clean seed on clean land; and this
illustration will apply to every other seed.
Clean seed on clean land, gire clean crops

| If nothing better has been accomplished
by the late Agricultural Convention at
| Washington, than the following resolu-
ton, that, of itself, if it should but lead
to the desired results, would alone be
worthy of the great occasion: Resolved,
That we earnestly advise and entreat the
farmers of our whole country, who are
favorably located for the purpose, to
plant forest trees, not merely for shade
and ornament, but by the acre and hun
dreds of acres, in order to reproduce for
ests, to take the place of those that are
being so rapidly and fearfully demolished
in every direction, thereby not only pro-
viding for the actual necessities of those
who are to come after us, but also to
avert calamities that can neither be i'm
agined nor described, that must eventu-
ally ensue whenever our broad land shall
be stripped of its forests, and consequent
ly deprived of the numerous beneficent
influences they are known to impart.
! Hearth and Home
No pain is more dreadful to endure
than fear. Few parents realize how much
their children suffer from this cause.
"There is nothing to hurt you," is an as
surance which does not allay the appre-
hension. An underlined something, exist
ing often only in the Imagination, is the
occasion of just as real suffering as the
most tangible evil could be. This suffer,
ing from fear has much to do with the al,
most universal dislike which children
have of going to bed. They are left alone
in some chamber away from the family
a wise arrangement so far as quietness is
concerned, and judicious entirely if the
child exhibits no fear. But only those
who remember what horrors possessed
the imagination when they, as children,
were left alone in the dark, can fully real
ize the suffering of a nervous child. 81
