Treating the Wreng Disease.

Many times Women call upon their
family physicians. one with dyspepsia. another
with palpitation, another with trouble of the
breast, another with pain here and there. and
in this way they ali present alike to themselves
and their easy-going and Indifferent doctors,
separate aud distinct diseases, for which he
prescribes his pills and potions. assuming
them to be such, when, IN reality. they are all
symptomps caused by some uterine disorder:
and While they are thus only able, perhaps, to
palliate for time, they are ignorant of the
cause, and encourage their practice until large
bills are made. when the suffering patients are
ne better in the end, but probably worse for
the delay. treatment, and other complications
made and which a proper medicine directed to
the canee would have entirely removed there
by instituting health and comfort instead of
prolonged misery.

Chance for lheap Lands

The Wisconsin Central Railroad
Company offers a rare chance to parties
desiring to invest in fine farming
lands. The price, to those who will
settle on the lands and improve them,
will not be allowed to interfere with
the purchase. The offers to parties
who will locate mills on the line are
extraordinarily good, and are being
rapidly taken advantage of.
The line of this road is from Milwau-
kee to Superior, the route running
through Il region of dense forest of
various kinds of hard wood trees, III
terspersed with the finest pine The
land is excellent, as the fine quality of
the farms all through the State show
This offer is one to which the attention
Of all is invited. Towns are rapidly
springing up along the route, and
money is III store for those who know
how to use their time.
Applicants should apply, for further
information, to E. ". Webster, Land
Agent, or Z. B. Phillips, General Man
ager, at the Office Of the Wisconsin
Central Railroad, in Milwaukee.

iemedS for Poison by wv.

1t seems to me that [ read all kinds
u cures for ivy poison except the right
one. | have always endeavored to keep
it before the public, but have failed. 1t
IS to dissolve sugar of lead a bit the
size of hazelnut, IN half a teacup of
sweet milk or warm water Apply
warm as can be borne easily with a soft,
Unity piece of linen rag. Three or four
applications are sufficient to effect a
cure If the poison is on the face and
nearing the eyes or mouth, this as
tringent wash may be constantly ap-
piled.
1t is IA marvellous cure, and by watch
ing closely one can see the fevered bis
ters turn from Witty to yellow during
the application. This remedy for ivy
poison should prevent great deal Of
suffering. 1t is well where a member
of family is easily poisoned to keep
sugar Of lead III the house all the time.

be found the moment it is wanted.

j. L. Quinn prefers tu1nip tops to

berries. Many years since [ abandon
ed the use of tan-bark for mulching
strawberries, because in the first place
it was too expensive, and secondly,
was annoyed by the aftergrowth of sor-
rel, which gave us considerable trouble
to eradicate. Again, while cut straw
will answer a good purpose as sum
mer mulch, for winter protection of
strawberry plants it certainly does not
come up to the standard When the
ground is not covered with snow, with
an occasional strong wind, cut straw is
blown about every which way, leaving
the plants uncovered In my expert
ence long straw or fine soft hay are in
tinitely superior for winter mulching to
either tan-bark or cut straw. Turnip
tops are sure to remainin place through
all kinds of weather, until removed by
hand toward spring, and to those who
have such material the experiment is
worth trial -HOTticulturiSt

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Rubber Cement.

There are several kinds of India rub
Der cement. The best known is ma
rine glue. A cheaper cement, and
one that is highly recommended, is
made by cutting a quantity of pure In
ola rubber-in its natural state-1nto
small pieces, putting them in a wide
mouthed bottle, and filling it about
half full of the purest benzine the
rubber will swell up almost immedi-
ately, and if well shaken viii, in few
days, assume the consistency of honey.
If the rubber does not dissolve, add
more benzine. II, when dissolved. the
cement is too thin, add more gum. A
piece of rubber one inch in diameter
will make pint of cement. This dries
Ill few minutes and is very useful In
uniting pieces of leather, as it is both
elastic and durable.
