HOW TO CHOOSE A COOP Cow.-A
crumple horn is a good indication; a full
eye another. Her head should be small
and short. Avoid the Roman nose, which
indicates thin milk and little of it. See
that she is dished in the face-sunk be-
tween the eyes. Notice that she is what
stock men call a good handler-skin soft
and loose, like the skin on a dog. Deep

Il, FIVE WAYS TO DESTROY ANTs.-1.
Pour copiously, hot water as near the boil
ing point as possible, down their burrows
and repeat the operation several times.
2. Entrap the ants by the means Of mar
row sheets of stiff paper OF strips of board
covered with some sweet sticky substance.
The ants are attracted by the sweets and,
sticking fast, can be destroyed as often as
IL sufficient number are entrapped.
3. Lay fresh bones around their haunts.
They will leave everything else to attack
these; when thus accumulated they can be
dipped in hot water.
4. Pour two OF three spoonsful of coal
oil into their holes and they will abandon
the nest. ...
5. Bury a few slices of onions in their
nests, and they will abandon them.

To Cook ONIONs.-The strong disa-
greeable taste and smell of onions may be
in large measure removed by leaving
them to soak in cold salt water for an hour
after the outside skin has been removed
then boil them in milk and water till thor
oughly tender; lay in a deep dish, season
with pepper and salt, and pour over them

r Poison AND THEIR ANTIDOTES.--FaG
results of poisoning are most frequently
occasioned by delay in applying. Or by ig-
norance of the antidote. The following is
] a list of the adtidotes of the common poi
sons, and I suggest that chemists, dyefsg
| druggists and others, who are brought daily
| in contact with poisonous substances, post
| this list in some conspicuous place in their
| laboratories. '*i i''i' ~
For alkaloids, SUCH as morphine, qui-
nine, etc. Emetics and the stomach
pump must be relied upon rather than
chemical agents. Astringent liquids may
| be administered, such as tannic acid,
which precipitates many of the, alkaloids
| from their aqueous solution, absorption OF
| the poison being'thus retarded. t,b.55,.t III
| i For antimeny Tartar emetic, etc.; Any
| form of fannie acid may be administered
Infusion of tea, nutgalls, cincona and oak
bark, Or astringent solutions OF tinctures),
an insoluble tannate of antimony being
|sformed., The stomach-pump must. be also,
| applied us speedily as possible. * f,,.s.,s.i
! For arsenic (Paris. green, etc. Recently
| paeeipitated moist ferrie hydrate, best adj
ministered in the form of a mixture of a
solution OF, perchloride of iron with car,
Donate of soda. Emetics should be also
given, and the stomach-pump applied.
+ FoEcopper lYerdigris, etc., Fqran,anti-
dote, administer iron Filings, also white
of al, egg lalbumen), which forms with
| copper. a compound insoluble in water
Apply the. stomach-pump,s 81 ,4a4
II For hydrocyanic acid (cyanide of potas-
stun, etc. A mixture Of green sulphate
of iron, solution of perchloride of iron and
either magnesia or carbonate of soda, is
the recognized antidote in cases of poison
I ing with prussic acid. Inhalation of am
monia is also advised. .s, ....t5
For lead Administer, solution of Ep-
som salts OF alum, and INDUCE vomiting,
For mercury corrosive subliments,
etc.: Swallowthe whites of several eggs.
Albumen gives white precipitate with
salts of mercury, whichis insoluble in the
juices of the stomach. lss.a il4 -..l-IT 4f1.,
For oxalic acid: In cases of poisoning
with oxalic acid or salts of sorrel, chalk
and water may be administered as chem
ical antidote, with the view of producing
the insoluble oxalate of lime. Emetics
should also be applied. 4.oo1 fibh ai> 3D.
For tin: In cases of poisoning by tin u
salts (dyer's tin liquor), solution of carbon 4.
ate of ammonia should be given. White
of egg is also SAID Ito form an insoluble pre- 4.
cipitate with compounds of tin. Vomiting
should also be speedily induced i'a' Il
For zinc Large doses of zinc, fortunate

has not occurred, or has taken place appar

of carbonate of soda common washing
