Poisonous FIY Papers.

Fly papers of different sorts are now
sold in immense quantities. and are
positively stated to be perfectly harm
less to animal life of a higher order
than insect pests. That the claim of
harmlessness thus made is not, how
ever, Trustworthy, appears from a state
ment in one of the London technical
journals, in which the writer says that
he took four sheets of such paper at
random, and digested them with dilute
hydrochlOric acid, until a pulpy mass
was obtained and washed with diluted
water until the filtered fluid amounted
to about four pints, and this was evap-
grated until only eight ounces remained
and sulphide of hydrogen was passed
into il for two hours. During this
time copiO1s precipitate of sulphide
of arsenic was thrown down, and the
beaker containing the fluid was there
fore set ash in a warm place, to insure
It's complete separation. The precipi-
tate-was collected on a filter, washed
and dissolved in dilute solution of am
mOnia, from which it was reprecipita-
ted by hydro chloric acid. The pure
sulphide of arsenic was finally collected
upon filter, dried, and weighed the
average quantity of arsenious acid
found in each of the sheets was 2. 55
grains-quite enough to destroy a hui
man life

Charcoal for Wounds.

The best simple remedy have fond
for surface wounds, such as cuts, abra-
sions of the skin, etc., is charcoal.
Take live coal from the stove, pulver-
ize it, apply it to the wound and cover
the whole with rag. The charcoal alb
serbs the fluids secreted by the wound,
and lays the foundation of the scab it
also prevents the rag from irritating
the flesh, and it is antiseptic. If, how
ever, you prefer a white scab to black
one, use quinine instead. This posses
ses all the virtues of the charcoal, and
is, besides, astringent and q tonic

.Inflammatory Fever in Cattle.

To an inquiry from a correspondent
about this disease the Tribune replies ::
"When young stock, especially calves,
are subject to sudden change of feed,
and from comparatively poor or rich
suStenance, are put upon that of an en-
tirely different character, the blood is
at once affected. This altered condi-
ton is shown by fever, Inflammation of
the mucus membranes, especially about
the eyes and in the interior of the nose
and nostrils, and running from all of
these. This frequently changes to stiff
ness of the limbs, with lameness and
swelling. Afterwards death is usually
very sudden. The complaint is blood
disease known as quarterill, black quar-
ter, infammatory fever, anthrax, etc. 1t
j. seldom cured, but may be prevented.
Caution should be exercised in chang
ing the feed. Cold, damp and excess
i've warmth should alike be avoided.
Upon the appearance of the first symp-
toms of the disorder, dose of salts (of
six or eight ounces) should be given,
followed by half an ounce of hyposul-
phate of soda, twice daily for a few
days, administered in the feed or dis
solved in water. A little linseed oil
cake meal should be supplied each day.
The disease may be communicated by
means of discharge from the nose"

Treatment of Manure.

I have read the articles appearing
lately on the manure question, and will
give my method of caring for it. The
stables are cleaned out every morning,
the manure being thrown out and scat
tered along the front of the stable,
which is go feet front, with three doors
from the stabIing as the caves are fur
nished with cutters, no water falls on
the manure, except the direct rainfall,
nor does any water run to it from land
above; the cattle tramp it, and / find it
requires the direct rainfall and tramp
ing to keep it from firing and to decom-
pose 1t. 1t is hauled to the fields any
time during the winter, and scattered
and grass land. 1 have no trouble at
all with it. There is plenty of straw
on fodder, and hberamg uantity finds
its way out with the manure, which
keeps the out cattle busy picking and
tramping. Country Gentleman.

"For the Blood is the Life"

See Deuteronomy, Chap. xii, Verse %. The
blood being the source from which our sys-
TENS are built up, and from which we derive
our mental as we'll as physical capabilities,
how important that it should. be kept pure.
If it contains vile fostering poisons all organ
ic functions are weakened thereby. Settling
upon important organs, as the lungs, liver or
kidneys, the effect is most disastrous. Hence
it behooves every one to keep their blood In a
perfectly healthy condition, and more especial
iy does this apply at this particular season of
the year than at any other. No matter what
the exciting cause may be- the real cause of
large proportion of all diseases is bad blood.
Now, Dr. Pierce does not wish to place his
Golden Medical Discovery in the catalogue of
quack patent nostrums by recommending it to
cure every disease, nor does he so recommend
it; on the contrary, there are hundreds of dis
eases that he acknowledges it will not cure;
but what he does claim is this, that there is
but one form of blood disease that it will not
cure and that disease is cancer. He does not
recommend his Discovery for that disease, yet
he knows it to be the most searching blood
cleanser yet discovered, and that 1t will free
the blood and system of all other known blood
poisons. be they animal, vegetable or mineral.
The Golden Discovery is warranted by him to
cure the worst forms of skin diseases, as all
forms of blotches, pimples and eruptlons also
all glandular swellings, and the worst form of
scrOfulous and liberated sores of neck, legs
or other parts and all scrofulous diseases of
the bones, as white swellings, fever sores, hip
joint and spinal diseases, all of which belong
to scrofulous diseases.
CoNFIRMED-HIP JOINT DISEASE CURED.
W. GROVE STATION. Ia, July IA, 1872.
DIR. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y:
Dear Sir-My wife first became lame nine
years ago. Swelings would appear and dis
appear on her hip, and she was gradually be-
coming reduced, and her whole system rotten
with disease. In 1871 swelling Uroke out on
her hip, discharging large quantities, and since
that time there are several openings. Have
had five doctors at an expense of 1925, who
say nothing will do any good but a surgical
operation.
July 16, 1873, he writes thus: My wife has
certainly received great benefit from the use
of your Discovery, for she was not able to get
off the be and was not expected to live
week when she commenced using it, year
ago. She has been doing most of her work
for over six months. Has used twenty bottles
and still using it. Her recovery is considered
as almost miracle, and we attribute it al. to
the use of your valuable medicine. 1 can
cheerfully recommend it as a blood purifier
and strength restorer. J. NJ. ROBINSON.

Cutting Timber.

I would say in reply to Sears that
saplings for fences, or any other fence
timber, should be cut when in full leaf
ard the tree allowed to lie for some
days until the leaves are with cred.
Then the leaves will have drawn all the
sap from the tree and the timber will
be more durable than if cut at any
other tiue. If the butt of tree cut in
this mann can be inserted in solu-
ton of metallic salt, as chloride of
zinc, or copperas, the solution will be
drawn into the wood and the timber be
made very durable. Some such plan
has, believe, been successfully tried in
Germany. August is probably the best
time of the year to cut timber to be
treated in this way.
"A traveller writes that nothing re
mains of the American colony which
went to the Holy Land several years
ago to reform the Turks and rebuild
the temple but the site of their settle
ment. The German colony from Writ
emburg, which followed the American,
was more practical and successful.
They number sixty families, and have
converted the waste land near Joppa
into a garden having hundreds of Or
ange and lemon trees. The Americans,
it may be remembered, were brought
home at the expense of the govern
ment.
"HoRsE- MEN, " an others who pre-
tend to know, say that the following directions
had better be observed in using Sheridan's
Cavalry Condition Powders: Give a horse a
tablespoonful every night for week; the
same every other night for four or six nights
the same for mich COW, and twice as much
for an OK. The addition of little fine salt
will be an advantage,
