ADDISON COUNTY.
A young lady named Cora Wilson, of
Shoreham, about 10 years Of age, has been
Il sufferer for more than Il year, and all the
skill of medical science could not cure her
or relieve her of her suffering. until death
came to her relief on Friday we k 1t is al
most year since she first took to her bed,
and for several months previous TO her de-
cease she was unable to walk, in fact, was
completely paralyzed, and unable to move
so much as her little finger. Every parti-
Gle of her hair, even to her eyelashes, drop
ped Off, and thick scab formed over her
entire body. This iucrustatiOn was as white
as snow, and would drop off regularly every
month, leaving her skin very soft and ex-
ceedngly tender and sensitive. In less than
twenty -fou- hours after the old scab dropped
off new one exactly similar to the old
would be formed over her entire body
When she was first taken sick this incrus-
tation did not appear, but has only manifes-
ted its presence for about six months. Her
appetite was good during her whole sick
ness, and her bodily pain was never at any
time exceptionally severe. The disease
baflod all medical skill. No physician who
has visited her ever saw or heard Of Il SINH
lar case.

Keep tho Cellar Clean.

How much of sickness is bred in
cellars, it is not probable can ever
be accurately estimated, but there is
no doubt that many a mysterious
case Of typhoid and scarlet fever,
rheumatism or ague may be direct
ly traced the malarious effluvia
emanating for those neglected cor
ners. Old boxes, bins and barrels,
which have contained vegetable
matter, meat, fish, etc., need thor
ough overhauling. 1t is not that
standing in dark corner they look
empty; there may be enough poison
left sticking on the side and bottom
to affect the health of the house
hold.
This work Of cleansing is often
left to the women and boys Of the
family. A man had much better
leave his work day to make a
thorough examinations and puritica-
ton of the cellar than to be unduly
anxious about getting in his crops
in extra season. After all garbage
is carried out, let the ceiling and
walls be faithfully brushed with an
old broom; and if this is done once
a month, the atmosphere will be all
the sweeter. Use plenty of lime,
and in dry weather keep all the
doors and windows open part OF
every day. Old tin and wooden
ware should not be allowed to stand
year after year upon the cellar
shelves. If it is not fit to be used
throw it away.-Ohio Farmer.

Sawdust for Stables.

A correspondent Of the London
Field says: litter the horses on
it to a depth of nine inches, raking
off the damp and soiled surface ev-
cry morning, and spreading evenly
a little fresh, removing the whole
four or five times year. Its ad-
vantages appear to be many, of
which | will state a few which give
il, in my estimation, its greatest SUI
periorlty over straw. 1t is much
cleaner, and more easily arranged;
and of course much cheaper at first
cost, making, in the end, excellent
manure. 1t is peculiarly beneficial
to the feet, affording them cool,
porous stuffing, substitute for the
soil of earth we always find in the
hoofs of horse at grass, and pre-
sents the nearest resemblance to q
horses natural footing-the earth.
We never had diseased foot since
tie introduction of sawdust in the
stable, now some years since. Hors-
es bedded in sawdust arc freer from
dust and stains than when in ordi-
nary litter; simply because sawdust
is better absorbent, perhaps, and

day. 1t has also the recommends
ton of being uneatable-an advan-
tage which all in charge of horses
with the habit Of eating their litter
will admit.

Raising Ducks.

Your correspondent, K. M. w.,
asks information on the subject of
raising ducks. AS l was quite sue
cesstul last year, perhaps my plan
may be Of service to him. The eggs
are put under hens. When the
ducklings are taken off, they are
put into a small pen, in which is
placed covered nest; any large
box with the bottom out and roof
put on answers well. Put clean,
dry hay into the nest, changing it
frequently. They must on no ac-
count be allowed to run out, as they
will soon run themselves to. death.
Feed on rice cooked as soft as mush ;
it must be put into shallow pan
and mixed with water. Have an
other shallow pan kept always filled
with clean, fresh water for them to
play in, putting cut grass, lettuce or
fennel into this water. Give worms
or bits Of fresh mea, once day
Never put more than twelve in a
pen, as in larger numbers they lie
SO close they will smother each 9th
er. The pen must be kept scrupu-
lousy clean. 1t is made Of three
or four boards, and should be mov-
ed once week. The ducklings
must be kept dry on the back. II
one gets its back wet it is almost
sure to die. They should be fully
teathered before being allowed ac-
cess to deep water. / find the Ayles.
