ODluln Cure.

A new method is now proposed for
curing the opium habit by means of a
compound formed by combining the
active principle of wild lettuce, and
adding thereto IA tincture of bitter al
monds when desirable; to one pound
of the fluid extract of wild lettuce, one
half ounce of lactucin and one fourth
ounce of salucin are added, and with
this compound is mixed one ounce OF
the tincture of bitter almonds, when
required. This is prepared in the
form of solution or In pills. To a
person In the habit of using ten grains
of sui phate of morphia per day, two
fluid drachms three times IL day are
given; and to persons using more or
less in the same proportion, or a guam
tlty sufficient to prevent suffering in
consequence Of ceasing to use morphla.
In cases of the most extreme nature,
where the mind is badly affected, and
the patient is inclined to be delirious,
one-eighth of the usual quantity of
morphia is continued for from five ten
days, or until ali signs of mental de
rangement disappear, after which
period the quantity of the opium cure
is gradually reduced, and as soon as
the opium or lnorphia becomes elimin-
ated from the system, the use of the
cure Is discontinued.

i Breathing Cave.

In the range Of mountains In West
ern North Carolina, known as the
Fox Range" a most singular pheno-
menon exists. 1t is " breathing
cave" In the summer months a cur
rent of air comes from it so strongly
that a person can't walk against it,
while IN winter the suction is Just as
great. The cool air from the mountain
in the summer is felt for miles, in a
direct line from the mouth of the cave.
At times a most unpleasant odor is
emitted upon the current, from dead
carcasSeS of animals sucked in and
killed by its violence. The loss OF
cattle and stock IN that section in
winter is accounted for in this way
They range too near the mouth of the
cave, and the current carries them in.
AT times, when the change from in
halation to eXhalation begins, the all
is filled with various hairs of animals
not unfrequentlv bones and whole car
casses are found miles from the place.
The air has been known to change
materially IN temperature during ex.
halation, from quite cool to unpleasant
ly hot, whitening vegetation within
reach, and accompanied by terrible
roaring, gurgling sound, as pot boil.
ing. 1t is unaccounted for by scientific
men who have examined it, though DC
exploration can take place 1t is
feared by many that volcanic erup-
ton may break forth there some time.
Such things have occurred in places as
unexpected.

Hack. Hack ! Cough, Cough !

Cough is a symptom by which vari-
Gus diseased conditions of the throat, bron-
chal tubes ard lungs manifest themselves.
But whether 1t arises from the irritation pro
duced in the throat aad larynX by taking
cold, from an attack Of bronchitis, from in-
cipient Consumption, or from various other
causes, nothing viii allay it more speedily nor
cure it more permanently than DR.. PieI ce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t does not matter
whether it be recent attack, or a lingering
cough, the Discovery is in either case equally
well adspted for its relief and permanent cure.
In fact, it Will cure cough in one-half the
time necessary to cure it with any other med
icne, and it does it, not by drying it up, but
by removing the cause, subduing the irrita-
ton aud healing the affected parts. No time
should be lost IN commencing the use Of a
proper medicine for the relief of Cough, for
unless this course is pursued serious and
dangerous disease OF the lungs is liable to

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Facts in FaItcnin2 Cattle,

Facts in Patching Cattle.
Boussingault estimates that an OK weigh
ing 748 pounds, fed upon forty pounds per
diem, viii increase in weight about two
pounds daily. According to Mr.. Low, an
OK weighing no pounds and consuming q
223 pounds of turnips per week, if he
thrives, viii gain in the same time nearly a
stone, fourteen pounds in weight. Allow
ing 100 pounds of hay worth 676 pounds OF
turnips, the increase is still about two
pounds day
Mr. Dubois says the quantity of green
fodder consumed by an OK during the eight
months when he is fattening, is equivalent
to $500 pounds of dry hay. The average
ration of green forage per diem, he calcu-
lates, therefore, equivalent TO about
twenty-seven pounds of hay.
But this average is evidently too small,
particularly for cold weather, which was
proven in the valley of Auge in Normandy.
Mr. Stephenson estimates that fifty seven
per cent of the whole animal will be butch
er's meat eight per cent. tallow six per
cent hide, and twenty nine per cent. en-
trails. This Of course depends upon the
condition of the beef-a fat one will yield a
greater per cent. than lean one Others
give the per cent. of meat at ffty-three TO
sixty-two per cent.

What Il 9lispiatced Comma Did.

The comma {, that little dot which
IS very Insignificant thing to the eye,
sometimes plays an important part IN
language. Though the rules FORTS use,
like it's relatives, are somewhat obscure,
nevertheless its function in some eases
is very clear and of considerable mo-
ment, as has been discovered in q law
of Congress passed IN 1872. In the
tariff bill which went into effect that
year there was a large addition to the
free list, and among the articles added
were - fruit plants, tropical and semi
tropical, > designed to encourage their
importation and cultivation. But in
the process of engrosslng or transcrib-
ing the bill to be officially printed,
a comma was interpolated be-
tween fruit and plants, where
by all fruits were put on the free
list. The customs officers, if they
"minded their p's and u.s." did not
mind the comma, and went on collect
ing the duties. At length some lynx
eyed importer discovered the comma,
and demanded that it should be recog-
stand on the order of Prosody and pass
fruit free, The result has been that
about s., 900 has been illegally col
lected through this interpolated COM
ma, at which Uncle Sam Will have to
stop and count more than one, and re-
fund The Ways and Means Commit
tee will report bill to expunge the
comma, and thus remand fruit back to
the list of dutable articles. This will
prove most expensive comma.

4 Manure Spreaner.

Procure a long pole, about ten feet long
and ELK inches in diameter, and secure a
tongue to the middle so as to form a large
[. The tongue may be bolted or secured by
mortise and tenon. After the tongue is
made last set it up in a perpendicular posi-
ton and bore twO-inch holes through the
head-piece one foot apart. Now till the
holes with strong spreading brush, letting
the brush extend behind the cross-head,
from four to six feet. The more brush one
can fasten in the holes the better. After
the manure is spread with forks hitch a
team to the tongue, place a board on the
brush behind the cross head, and let the
driver stand on the board as the spreader Is
driven across the field back and forth like a
harrow, and the brush will then spread and
grind the manure into the ground and pull
verize the Jumps more perfectly than could
be done by hand. 4 man and horse team
can spread an acre per hour of any kind of
manure. Such a spreader will be found
useful in preparing land for seeding after it
has been narrowed, as it will crush the
Jumps, I'll up the dead harrows and leave
the field like a garden bed. In lieu of q
large pole, a heavy slab or narrow p ank
may be employed for the spreader. The
spreader should be driven at right angle to
the first course, whenever all the branches
are not ground fine and spread evenly.
Winter is the true time to make such labor
saving machines, so AS to have them ready
for use when one has manure to spread.

Farm whippIetTces.

Quite frequently, says the Ohio Farmer,
1t becomes necessary for q farmer to prac.
tice the mechanical art little in a way of
repairs upon implements on account of there
being no wagon or general repair shop in
the neighborhood, and it is therefore well
for him to study certain mechanical rules
which will very materially aid him in the
effort As whippletrees are frequently
broken, we VIII give a few hints concerning
the manufacture of these articles. In lay
ing out stick from which whippletree is
to be made, the size and kind of irons to
be used upon it, should be the first consid-
Grafton. If the draw iron is q clasp. the
centre of the stick need not be as large
there as where a staple Is put through the
centre. Dress out the stick on two sides
the whole length, and as thick as it is to be
in the centre-frorn an inch and half to an
inch and three-quarters are the common
thicknesses for heavy whippletrees-then
strike a line on one side through the centre
from end to end lay out the width III the
centre and at the ends according TO the
sizes of the irons draw two more lines
from centre TO ends then work off the sides
and the stick is ready TO be rounded UP. 1'
do the rounding chamfer all the corners,
planning them true, then with a draw-shave
and file finish 10 true oval Never at
tempt to work out whippletree with 10
other guide than the eye, Tor 1t Will require
"A great expenditure OF time, and be UNI
slightly when seen. The common lengths
for vehicles is two feet ten inches: pillow
whippletrees should not be more than
twenty-six or thirty inches, or as short as
they can be and not make the tugs chafe
the horses sides. Tough hickory is the most
suitable timber for these implements; white
oak and ash are second best, but OF what
ever kind, the wood should be thoroughly
seasoned 1t is a good plan to split out ma
terial from choice timber ana lay 1t up tol

How 10 Manage Back aud Dead Fur
RVS,
A correspondent of the New York Times
says the dead furrow is such a nuisance
when haying and harvesting with our ma
chimes that the question Is often asked how
we may get rid of them. [ should say the
best way to be rid of them is not to have
them at all, and this | find quite practical
bic IN the following way: L lay out my
main farming land into three lots for three
years course of crops, each lot 100 by 70
rods, and plow lot as one land; plant
few trees along the centre of the field for
landmarks. and turn a back turrow to these,
one year blowing the whole field IS a back
furrow land, and the next time blowing
around the field the other way, turning it
back .agalu, thus keeping it level, and never
crossing dead furrow, for by going around
the field IN the same way to harvest, when
] get to the back furrow or dead furrow the
field is done. With such lots, too, | save a
great deal of travel to and from my work,
for each lot comes to within a few rods Of
the house and in working the field either
blowing or cultiyatIng, or hoeing, or har-
vesting, | 90 around the field, or the length
of it. and back, SO / can commence work
and lease off again near the barn. But If
1t is necessary to pl0w lot into smaller
lands, avoid making abrupt baek-furrows
and dead burrows in this way: Run the
pillow very shallow, say three or four inches
deep for the first, bout back-furrowing to
lay out the land, and do not let the fur
rows lap over each other, out just come to-
gether Then gauge the pillow one and
one-half inches deeper each bout until yen
obtain the depth you wish to pillow tae field.
Then, as you near the place for the dead
furrow, reverse the order and plow shallow
er each bout making the last furrow as thin
az you did the first one. This finishes the
land much better, for the last furrow slice
being thinner and turning into the deeper
furrow OF the previous bout, makes it lay
over very fiat, and leaves only slight de-
preston for the dead furrow. Or, if it is
not turf. would leave eight or ten inches
of the middle, which viii drag down and
half fill the furrow. And in this way. too,
it viii be nearly level over the back burrows.

MODERN MEDICAL DISCOVERY. 1t is

MODERN MEDICAL DISCOYERY.--I Is
claimed that disease, with a few excep
tons, has been conquered by the re
search and intellect of enlightened
men and yet a noted professor of New
York admits that Sof all sciences,
medicine is the most uncertain, " and
that thousands are annually slaugh-
tered in the sick room" Certain
"schools" of medicine are i'll exist

other administers sugar coated bread

her own cures. DR.. j. WALKER, of
California, an old and respected physi-
elan, tried both modes Of treatment and
both failed. He then appealed to ma
lures curative-herbs and now enjoys
rugged health. He has given the ben
eft of his discovery to the world, IN the
shape Of VINEGAR BIrrERs, and since
its introduction has sold a quantity
almost large enough to make IA small
harbor, or to float the ''Great Eastern.
Its curative properties are attested by
grateful thousa nds Com.
