Cure for Scab.

The North British Agricultur-
list calls attention 10 a new sheep
dip which has been found efficient
in Australia for the cure OF scab
and the destruction of the sheep
tick: Take four ounces OF sui
phur. two ounces of lime for each
gallon of water. Before mixing
with water, sift the dry sulphur
and lime well together; then put
the mixture into boiling water,
and continue to boil for twenty
or thirty minutes, stir while boil
ing; then put the liquid into a
tank or dip; cool down with cold
water. Two ounces of carbonate
of soda may be added to each one
hundred gallons. In boiling the
sulphur and the lime it is necessa-
ry to watch well to prevent it boil
ing over; to prevent this add boil
ing water" In the Australian
practice of dipping sheep the ami
mall is kept several minutes in
the cath, and the temperature
is usually above one hundred de
grees.

Nothing Like Straw.

Dio Lewis writes: Of the eight
pounds a man eats and drinks
in a day, it is thorght that not
less than FIVE pounds leaves his
body through the skin. And oil
these five pounds a considerable
per centage escapes during the
night while h is in bed. The
larger part of this is water, but i'll
addition there is much effete and
poisonous matter. This being in
a great part gaseous IN form, PEN
etrates every part OF the bed
Thus all parts of the bedzmat
tress, blankets, as we'll as the
sheet become loul and need puri
fication. The mattress needs
this quie as much as the sheets.
To allow the sheets to be used
without washing or changing
three or six months would be re-
garded as bad house keeping; but
| must insist if thin sheet can
absorb poisonous eXcretions of this
body to make it unfit for use in a
few days, a thick mattress, which
can absorb and retain a lhous and
times as much of these poison.
Gus secretions, needs to be purified
as often certainly as once in three
months. A sheet can be washed.
A mattress cannot be renovated in
this way. Indeed there is no 9TH
er way Of cleaning a mattress
but by stealning, or picking 1t to
pieces, and thus in fragments eX
posing it to the direct rays of the
sun. AS these processes are
scarcely practicable with any of the
ordinary mattresses, | undoubtedly
Of the opinion that the good old
fashioned straw bed, which can
every three months be eX hanged
for fresh straw, and the tick wash
ed, is the sweetest and healthiest
of beds. If in the winter sea
son the porousness of the straw
bed makes tia little uncomfortable,
spread over it a comforter or TWO
of wooden blankets, which should
be washed as often as every two
weeks. With this arrangement:
If you wash the bed. covering as
often as once in one or two weeks,
you will have a good healthy bed.
Now, it you leave the bed to air,
with open windows, during the
day, and not make it Tor night
before evening, you will have ad.
ded greatly to the sweetness ct
your rest in consequence, and to
the tone OF your health. l heart
lily wish this good change could
everywhere be introduced. Only
those who have thus attended to
this important matter can judge
of its influence on the general
health aud spirits"

could not walk without his feet

three months on straw one foot

sell tho Illinois Central, tho Michigan Central,
and the Chicago, Burlington l. Quincy Railroad
Companies tho three blocks from Randolph to
Monroe stroets, on tho lala.front, for the eroo-
tion Of . mammoth passenger depot building.
which would not only bo an ornament to shat
now neglected and misunderstanding part OF tho
city front, but infuso now life into It, enhance
now start to tho improvement Of what Is now
y dead district. There soomB to DO no good rea-
son either for asaying on definite action nor for
refusing to accept ttoterma Of lhe hallway COM
pantes.

Gan Central and tho Chicago, Burlington l.
