The seeds Of the pumpkin have within few
years obtained in this country considerable rep
utation in the treatment of tsPeworm The
employ ment of them, however, Is not new. The
flesh of the pumpkin was used IN lo2O. The dose
of the seeds is about two Ounces, which are to be
taken early in the morning, and followed IN an
hour OF two by fluid ounce OF castor oil. The
modes of administering are various. Sometimes
the seeds deprived of their outward covering, are
beaten into paste with sugar, aud. thus taken
In either Instance they formed into an emui-
sion by rubbing them up thoroughly with water
and little sugar. The following recipe is re-
commended: Take of pumpkin seeds, six hum
dred grains; water, five grains; ethereal extract
of male fern, sixty grains; water, five fluid
ounces. Bruise the seed in marble mortar with
the sugar, and half a find ounce Of water, and
when a homogeneous paste has been obtained.
add the extract of fern, and gradually mix in the
rest of the water. The emulsion should be taken
without straining early in the morning, In four
doses, at intervals of fifteen minutes, the bottle
being well shaken each time. In regard to the
thresdworm, clysters of lime-water will fire.
quently bring the whole nest of them away, and
give instant relief. The following is good re-
cipe: Soctoriue aloes, one ounce; icorice, two
ounces; corander seed, half an ounce; gin one
pint. Digest in bottle for week, shaking the
bottle frequently, then strain. Dose for u child
is tablespoonful every morning; for an adult,
two tablespoonful with half the quantity of a
strong decoction of the Carolina pink root.

GatherinE Gers.

First, as to the time of husking. In general we
say. husk corn early. OF course, for cribbing, it
must be dry enough to keep. But we prefer to
husk, even where it is so early that much sorting
is necessary rather than let it remain in the field
until bad fall weather sets in. In many years
observation, we have found that the best farmers
in our neighborhood always had their corn in
their cribs early, while the worst farmers were
always behind hand in this well as in every
thing else, and we presume the same state of
things exists in every neighbOrhOOd where there
are good and bad farmers.
Every one should bear in mind that when corn
is left unhusked late, where IL has not been cut
up and put in shocks, that many will break down
or bend in such way that their ears will reach
the ground, where becoming wet, they rot. Much
is lost in this way by leaving the corn late in
the field. And still another argument in favor
of early husking is that il can be done with SO
much more comfort in pleasant weather than in
bad weather. There is no machine for husking
corn, at least none that We know Of that is
worth having The husker's strong hands and
the old-fashiOned peg must do the work. 1t thus
greater for getting the work done before the long
rains and bitter freezes of late fall and early
winter.
In husking, where the work has not been done
before, it will pay the farmer well to save some
of the best ears he goes along for seed. In
this way he gets the finest ears of the whole
field. Whereas, by neglecting to save the finest
ears in the fall, and waiting till spring to sort
them out Of the crib, the quantity to select from
is greatly diminished, and as good ears cannot
be obtained. 1tis well to obtain for seed those
ears that ripen earliest and those that are the
most solid, the most regular and the best filled
out at both ends. Let no farmer who wishes to
do well in the cultivation of this great CROP neg
lect to use great care in the selection Of seed
Much depends upon this. a-i
In hnsking the corn In the field, the neat husk-
er will remove all the husks from the ear, and
also the greater part of the silk. In throwing it
into tile crib, the shoveler must have his eyes
upon his work so that no green ears will get into
the crib. One green ear csrlessly allowed a place
in the crib, will not only mold itself, but 1t will
injure many other ears around. The soft ears
should be fed to the pigs and calves.

Stop The Cracks.

When the wind blows furiously and the snow
is driven into every knot hole, and through every
crevice in the sides of the sheds aud stables of
domestic animals, those standing near such
cracks will feel the effects of the chilling wind
quite as much as If they only had partial shelter
When the cold wind has free passage be-
meath the sill of shed where cattle and sheep
should lie while resting and Illuminating quietly,
they will frequently prefer the middle of an open
yard. because the current of cold air will not be
30 furious as when il rusbes through creviee
A swift current Of cold air will take away much
more of the heat of animal than il it were
confined in still air Of the same temperature.
The practical point then is to cnt off the nails
that secure the boards to a stable wi.s.l q cold
chisel; joint the edges of the boards, matc,,. and
replace them. Br::7tis that have ,ysen ,olerably

To the Editor Of the Boston Adrertisr

The dispatches and letters received early in
the season from the Hayden exploring expedi-
ton, gave the impression that the highest noun
tains within the limits Of the United States were
in Colorado near the head waters of the Arkan-
sas River. Subsequent reports have not confirm
ed this impression, the highest points having
been found not to exceed IL 800 feet in altitude.
There are several points higher than this in the
Sierra Nevada, as having been established by the
labors of the California State geological survey.
The names of Shasta and Tyndall will recnr at
once to those who have read Clarence Kings
Mountaineering. The highest point of all, Mount
Whitney, has been estimated at 1900 feet in
height, though its summit has not been reached
until this season. On the 9th of this month, ac-
cording to advices received this morning, a sue
cessfnl escent of Mount Whitney was made by
Charles Rabe, of the California survey, and its
height determined. by means of the barometer,
to be Il, s9s feet. There need be no longer doubt
as to where the highest mountain in the United
States is. W. H. PETTEE.

Every farmer who has occasion to drive a nail
into seasoned oak posts knows its liability to
bend and break. If the point be nostened in
the mouth it will usually drive more kindly.
Oil is still better but then it is inconvenient to
dip each nail separately into it. Another point
observed is that boards become loose eventually
from the rusting of the nails, which commnncat-
ing to the wood, causes not only an enlargement
of the nail hole, but the wearing away of the
nail itself, rendering the fence or the binding
shaky and Insecure. this may be prevented by
heating any rough grease uutil it smokes, and
then pouring it over the nails to be used. The
grease will penetrate the pores of the iron, with
ont rusring, au indefinite period. Besides this,
trouble will then be experienced in driving
them into the hardest wood. The reason is that
the coating of grease prevents contact by air,
and consequently oxidation. Oxygen is the
great destroyer Of iron, and moisture is the
inducing cause. Anything which is kept from
contact with the air is preserved indefinitely
and if it is kept dry the effect is immeasureably
the same. Paint upon buildings prevents the
contact of air and moisture. If the whole fence
cannot be painted, the heads, at least, of the
nails shOnld be touched Herewith.
