TooTHAcHE.-A new remedy consists in the
employment Of injections introduced into the
gum near the diseased TOOTH DR.. Dop has tried
these injections in about one hundred cases
In twenty cases he made use of morphia, which
succeeded very well. but only for time. Chloro.
clusively used by DR.. Dop. 1t was eminently
successful in o. cases out Of eighty. The in.
lection is made with the small syringe COM
monty used in France for simultaneous injec
tons. Only two drops arc put in at time
The needle is introduced gradually and must
remain In stu few seconds. On Withdrawing
It, pressure must be exerted on the gum witt
the finger. In by far the greater number o.
cases, one injection is enough to stop III,
toothache.

THE POULTRY BUsINEss.-lphdt q yotag
lady did last year.-ln Concord township,
Delaware county, n farmers daughter, during
the past year, had the care of his poultry ward.
In the spring she began with about sixty fowls,
of the common breeds, including one Dominique
rooster and several hens of that stock She also
had two ROSTERS of the Partridge Cochin breed.
From these she raised $50 chickens. When
young she fed on cracked corn but when fat
tening them, gave whole corn and Indian meal
During the season she sold eggs to the amount
OF $50, and from Sept. 10th TO January 18th, she
got ready for market $50 pairs Of chickens. which
she lsold for $500, making in all $3.50. She
thinks the Dominiques much the best for mar
ket but they are not hardy when young She
haze some yonng hens of the Partridge Cochin
breed which weigh 0, 7, and pounds eacli---
1t will be seen by this statement, what may be
done by proper attention TO poultry, the profit
perhaps being almost greater than almost any
branch OF farming. IL also shows that the
business is one in which females may engage
with success. The time occupied in caring for
sixty to hundred hens doesn't average more
than an hour or two a day. The exercise is
light and pleasant and the change from house
held duties rather agreeable than Otherwise
Indeed we consider the poultry business, as an
occupation, both profitable and Interesting
Gathering eggs, setting the hens, watching the
Matching, and tending to the young has charm,
which in connection with the profit is calell-
lated to please every lover of natures great
working world. Our Concord girl deserves a
premium-Detdrdre County american.

Go be concluded in our next

There was partial strike of the engine dri-
vers on the st. Louis, Kansas City aud North
ern Railroad of Missouri on Saturday night
Several freight and passenger trains have been
delayed in consequence. 1t is said that the
members of the Brotherhood OF Locomotive
Engineers demanded that Charles Chaplin, who
is not member OF the brotherhood. and who
had been given an engine, should be discharged
that the company refused this demand, and
that as the freight trains arrived at st. Charles
the engineers left their locomotives and re.
fused further service. The firemen and other
employees sympathized with the engineers, and
riotous demonstration took place. Policemen
were sent up from st. Louis to preserve order

Record his experience with Hungarian Grass,
the main points of which we copy for the bpuc-

Of about 10 days, or when the seed in the up-
per, or more early developed heads is suiliciens-
ly ripened to enable the seed to be obtained
therefrom for the coming year, through n little
thrcshing with Hail as it is being used for the
stock in the winter season. Whilst | am moi
prepared to say that better bay is made from re-
maising thus long before cutting, do saw that
in this condition it is superior to the hest limo

and it can be thus cured when three or moro

grown upon less fertile land with say Il tons
to the acre. it of course might be cut earlier and
with possible advantage, though somewhat
doubt it. There is,perhaps, no crop can raise
which better pays for a direct application oil
barnyard manure, provided the season for gath
ering the hay proves favorable. After tho crop
is taken off the ground is left in very clear
mellow condition, weeds and other plants be-
| ing thoroughly smothered out from its luxuri-
| ant growth. A single ploughing Is here about
equivalent to two.following a crop of oats, and
my experience Is, with a much greater GER
tainty for good stand OF wheat. Mr.. Harvey
closes by referring to the propristy of care in
the selection Of seeds, large per. cent of that
offered being mixed with the seed of milet
which an experienced eye can readily detect
The former should to some extent resemble
the seed ofclover, being chiefly yellow, with All
;ntermixture of black ones, whilst the latter Is
80 much lighter color, and somewhat smaller.

How often in my waking dreams,
I'm the cid garrett steps climb,
Where struggling beams Of light reveal
A relic ofthe oiden time. 50
A relic ofthe olden time, I1LM
Which dust and cobwebs half conceal,
As useless lumber slowed away
NY mothers litlle spinning wheel;
In the old garrett now.it stands, aN
Its busy hum Is heard no more; Wv
Broken and tangled are its bands, --..,.=----..
The distaif on the dusty floor;
Ere long were laid away,
In the cold chambers Of the dead,
TIE feet that turned the busy Wheel
The hands that deity drew tho thread!
Day after day, with patient toll, ......
At the same wheel she sat andspun,
And drew she thread with dexterous hand,
Until the wool and warp were done.
And sometimes In my pensive moods,
The tears adown my cheeks would steal,
As tho soft music of her voice,
Bent with the whirring oil the wheel. 4 u
How often in my childhood hours, =
listened to those soothing lays. 70,
Not dulcet sounds of harp and Lutte,
Seemed half so sweet in after days.
Nv mother? ali, that sacred name,
What memories DER my spirit steal
Methinks see her, as Of yore,
Sitting and singing at her wheel. .-ss al
Just as OF yore see her now
The wheel, the distaif and the chair;
The sunbeams playing round her head. "a
And nesting in her silver hair; "a
Oh, vain illus ion. Well know
The sands have from her hour glass run;
And weary wheels of life have stopped,
And all her work on arth is done!
The soothing whir of that old wheel
No more shall DER my spirit come;
Perhaps my feet no more will cross
The threshold Of nay early home;
Yet oft my pensive thoughts will turn
From present scenes away, and steal
Up the old garrett stairs, where stands
My mothers little spinning wheel.
The pleasant dreams of other years,
Have like the mists of morning flown
My form is bowed with toll and care.
And have old and weary grown.
And toward the grave, from day to day,
Ny steps decline, and just before
huns the dark river that divides go
Our land from that mysterious shore.
My feet are wounded by the thorns
That are in my pathway strewB;
And oh, how many a tear dimmed page
Is from the book of memory torn.
But not while life and reason last,
Can forget, or cease to feel
Emotions that my bosom swell,
At sight of this old spinning wheel.

To CULTIVATE A HEDGE.-W. f. IIerricli,
Cleveland, Ohio, writes: sec an inquiry, by a
farmer in Indiana, respecting the best way to
cultivate hedge. Perhaps the following d-
rections may be of some service to him and
others. Some twenty years since, at one of
our State fairs, while conversing with an Eng
lishman respecting hedges, he remarked SHAT
| farmers could never have good hedges in this
country until they could learn to cut them
down when young" The first years growth
should be cut in the Spring following, to within
three or four inches of the ground; the second
year 1t should be cut about eight inches high
and the third year not over twelve inches from
the ground, and then, with suitable trimming
on each side, person will have Il solid and
compact hedge that will turn everything which
fence can. The great object is that no one
wants TO cut of the Hne growth of the first and
| second years, as they always are in hopes that
| it will thiclsen up at the BOTTOM which it will
| never do unless trimmed as above stated. I
have recommended it often, and seen it tried
for great many years, and have never seen a
poor hedge with ordinary care) when eultiva-
| ted in this way, and have never seen good
one unless 1t was cut down in a similar way
| There Is no danger but that hedge will be
high enough. The important thing is to have
ii thick and compact az. the bottom, and when
set six or eight inches apar. and treated as
| above stated, there will be no difficulty after
the third year, for the tops can then be trim
| med to suit the fancy.
