MEDICAL VALUE OF ASPARAGUS AND Gel
ERY-A medical correspondent of an Eng
lish journal says that the advantages of as
paragus are not sufficiently appreciated by
those who suffer with rheumatism and govt.
Slight cases of rheumatism are cured in il
few days by feeding on this delicious escu'
lent; and more chronic cases are much re
lieved, especially if the patient avoids all
acids whether in food or beverage. The Je-
rusalem artchoke has also a similar effect IN
relieving rheumatism. The heads may be
eaten in the usual way; but tea made from
the leaves Of the stalk, and drank three or
four times a day, is "A certain remedy, though
not equally agreeable.
So the English paper says. 1t may be well
to remark that most plants which grow nat
urally near the sea coast contain more or less
iodine, and IN all rheumatic complaints iodine
has long been a favorlte remedy. One who
was long in the drug business told the writer
some years ago that many of the popular
patent nostrums which some dlsinterested
people, "solcly for the good of their fellow
creatures" sold at two dollars bottle con.
sisted simply Of few cents worth of Iodine
in solution.
1t is dangerous, however, in over doses, al
fecting especially the eyes. The same effect
may be produced by eating abundantly OF
asparagus or celery, which are wcl-known
seaside plents. If these have no effect, the
patent specifics will not, and in that case a
conscientious and intelligent physician is the
best resort.-ForHeg'S Press.

morning ill night. There is a certain mum
Der of pounds that IA team can draw day after

added, even as lutte as fifteen or twenty
pounds, they walk unsteadily, fret, and soon
tire. No amount Of feeding will keep them
in condition. | have seen many plowS in use
on which it would have been an easy matter
to decrease the draught twenty-five pounds,
and if men were drawing them instead OF
horses it would have been done. 1t must be
plat to the farmer that every pound he can
take OF from the draught OF his plow is SO
much gained for his horses.
1t may be done in ihis way: For any soil
except sand or gravel use steel pillow. Their
cost is but little more, and the draught enough
less to pay the difference in blowing twenty
acres. In blowing sod the coulter does great
deal of the work, and should be kept sharp
by forging at the biacksmlth's and grinding
every day if necessary. OF course it will wear
out sooner but new coulters are cheaper than
new teams. Set the coulter in line with the
pillow, the edge square IN 'front.' with an angle
of forty five degrees from the point to which
it is attached to the BEAM
When the share gets worn short it Is poor
economy to use it any longer, but replace 1t
with u new one. Let the traces be as short as
will allow the horses to walk without hitting
their heels against the whiiflctrees, and have
just pressure enough of the wheel on the
ground to make the pillow run steady. If the
handles crowd continually one way, the
draught is not right and if the pillow is a
good one it can be easily rcmcdied at the

SuNFLowERs-We would call the attention
of farmers at this time to the value OF sun
flowers as a crop, and enumerate some OF then
values and uses. In the first place, the flow
ers abound in honey and furnish food 1or
bees The seeds contain oleaginousl matter
and yield oil at the rate of one gallon to the
bushel, which is but little inferior to olive
oil One acre will produce fifty bushels OF
seed Il is also valuable food for horses and
poultry. 1t has been used for bread by the
American Indians and also in Portugal. The
leaves are excellent fodder for cattle. The
stalks, while growing, may be utilized as bean
poles where they are scarce and difficult to
be obtained, and when dry may be used as
roofing, or set up against fence to torn
windbreak. They contain large amount OF
potash, and are excellent for kindling. The
seed has also been recommended for fuel.
The reputation of the growing sunflower to
absorb miasmatic vapors and prevent fever and
ague, is well acknowledgement Farmer.

Bous.-The frequent recurrence OF boils
Is, of course, to any person great annoy
ance, especially when they are attended with
fever or any considerable constitutional dis.
turbance. Those subject to them should
avoid eating very salt, fat or greasy food, and
occasionally take dose of Epson salts, or
any cooling laxative. Flayseed makes good
poultce; or if the boil is not very large,
brown su gar and common yellow soap viii

Soar WASH FOR FRUIT TREEs.-Many per
sons, for no we'll defined reason, give their
fruit trees an annual spring washing with
lime-wash. 1t it not only unsghtly, but OF
no benefit. The only possible good which it
can accomplish, is the destruction OF such
larvae as it may come in contact with, which
are but few, since they are concealed under the
scales of rough bark, which the whitewash
does not reach.
A better plan is TO wash the trunks with
strong soap suds, in which a little carbollc
acid has been dissolved. This destroys in.
sect life with which it come in contact, and
the soap opens the pores Of the bark, and in
duces glossy green appearance. When the
trees are of such an age as to have formed
much rough bark, this should first be scrapcd
away, but not to such an extent as to expose
thc inner layer; only just SO as to remove the
dead scales which form from year to year

TO render posts or timber, placed in the
ground, practically impervious to the ground
moisture, and for long time prevent decay,
the following simple recipe has been tried.
and found to answer the purpose excellently.
For fence and gate posts it is particularly re-
commended: Take iinseed oil, boil it, and
mix it with charcoal dust until the mixture
has the consistency of an ordinary paint.
Give to the posts single coat of the mixture
or paint before planting them, and no farmer,
says one who has tried it, living to the age OF
the patriarchs Of old, Will live long enough
to see the same posts rotten. The posts or
timber should be well seasoned and dry when
the paint is applied.

To Cook RICE-The following is the
method recommended by the French
Academy tor cooking rice during the
siege of Paris: Take one cup of rice and
one-fourth of cup of water in saucepan,
cover, and place over a good fire; after an
hour the water will be evapcrated and the
rice cooked tender, but dry, with grains dis
tinct, not in paste Sufficient salt should be
added not to disturb the rice while cook
ing BY adding little butter and allowing
the rice to dry little more over gentle fire,
more delicate dish is prepared. The Bos-
ton Medicat Journal says that rice cooked IN
this manner, which is the same as that en-
ployed in the East Indies, bears the same re-
iation to the indigestiblc paste of the New
England kitchen as does bread to boiled flour,

About dusk that evening, MS he and
his plough boy and white woman he
had hired to hoo were vending their
way slowly homeward after the days
labor was over leading their horses
along pathway near the margin of
the corn field, the woman who was
barcfootcd and walking in tho path
before them, suddenly sprang back, OK

made no further effort to strike II, but
the motion with the pine knot no doubt
Alarmed his snakeship, for he Instantly
turned and glidcd into the bushes and
bricrs, and as he moved his rattlcs
made the well-lsnown sound, which
was also familiar to the dog who, hear
ing II, at once sprang upon the snake
and, il is supposed, caught it by the
tail and tore away its rattles, as their
sound was not aftcrward heard.
Then commenced death struggle.
The snake would strike at the dog,
and he would seize it in his mouth and
shake il Before he got good hold
on il, il struck him several times with
its fangs. The dog had previously
killed several Inttlcsnalxcs, and under
stood how to fight them upon fair
open field, but in this case he fought
at very great disadvantage, being
impeded in his movements by the thick
jungle of vines, briars and bushes,
among which the snake had taken re-
ihge. The fatal wound must have
been given by the snake very soon af
ter the contest commenced, as the dog
was observed to become weak and stag.
ger, then he seemed to renew his at
tack on the snake with terrible energy
and ferocity taking il by the body and
shaking it most vigorously from side
to side and tearing great slugs of flesh
from its body.
As soon as he had subducd the rep
tile he carried it ont to the open ground,
where his master was, and laid il down.
Then, rceling like drunken man, un-
der the workings of the deadly poison,
the brave fellow placed his feet on its
body, and with the energy of despeIa-
tion and death already graphing with
him he literally tore out its vitals and
strewed them on the ground. In u
moment and at the very climax of vic
tory, the faithful dog reelcd and fell 70
the ground, and in few minutes was
stiff in death, notwithstanding every
possible effort was made to save him.
The snake was an enormous one, and
from Mr. Terrell's account must have
been at least five feet long
