SPECIFIC FOR DIprHERIA. Italian
journals publish letter from DIR. Giovanni
Calligari, describing the remarkable success
which has attended his treatment of diptheria
with picnic acid. lie relates the losses he
formerly experienced among his patients
when treating them with emolments, SOL
vents and caulerzalion with hydrochloric
acid, and remarks that this cauterization can
no more eradicate the morbid principle than
tearing the leaves off plant will destroy
the root. He now simply uses gargle of
picnic acid and distilled water, with exter-
nal applications of new flannel; the food and
drink to be cold. After the adoption of this
treatment DR.. Calligar lost but one patient
out of fifty-eight. He requested the Italian
journals to publish this discovery. Picnic
acid is the agent which is now being used in
this country as remedy for cancer, and
seems likely to effect an immense saving of
lives formerly. hopelessly sacrificed to that
disease.

THE WHEATEN LoAF.-Good wheat bread
sand butter is the staff of civilized life. Take
away wheat bread and butter from our fam
lies for Il few generations, and who is pre-
pared to say that civilization would not glide
easily TO state of barbarism There is
sound philosophy in this suggestion, because
ther@, IL no other kind of human food that is
so admirably adapted to the development
Of the human frame, including noble brain,
as good wheat bread. Civilization has
seemed to exist coeyal with the wheaton
loaf.
We find the lowest order of intelligence
standing on potato. Only one step above
this class, another order is found on a hoe
cake. One degree abovs this we meet with
the class that has risen in the scale of being
as high as It is possible for mortals to rise on
pancake Head and shoulders above all
of these classes we find the higher order of
intelligences, with large and well-developed
brains and noble characters, standing securely
on their wheaton loaf. No other food can
excel the wheaton loaf, because it furnishes
more and better material for the human
brain than any other food.

ALFALrA.-A correspondent, "B., de-
fires information in regard to alfalfa, the kind
of seed, when to be sown, etc. We know
of but one true kind of alfalfa, the blue
Towering. There is a species of mountain
clover in California, sometimes met with in
the lower valleys, that bears yellow bios
som; the plant somewhat resembles the Chill
clover or alfalfa in growth, but is entirely
inferior as forage plant, green or dry. We
have never known any Of the seed being in
the market. Always get good, plump seed,
and if possible not more than three years old.
Sow in the Fall if the ground has been fully
moistened by rain; but very late Fall SOW
ing is not desirable in places where Winter
frosts are severe. In such localities it is
better to wait till early Spring, and SOW
when the ground can be put in proper con-
dition; there should be finely pulverized
surface, well rolled, the seed sown and COW
cred by drawing brush or tree top over it.
If sown in the Spring, some deem it better
to SOW along with it a light seeding of wheat
or barley, with view of protecting the
young alfalfa from the effects of drying winds
and the heat of the sun. Others maintain
that wheat or barley sown with the alfalfa
is injurious, absorbing or taking up from the
soil the very moisture so necessary to the
alfalfa in its early growth. Every descrip-
ton of alluvium or rich bottom lands, re-
claimed tule, or any description of good
wheat lands, if the surface csn be made fine
and soft, and the soil is deep, are suitable
for alfalfa. .-Rurdl Press.
