To PICKLE EGGs.-Boil the eggs hard, re
move the shells and cover the eggs with
vinegar in which blood beets have been
picked. For a picnic these are very nice

part of asparagus into qusrter-inch lengths,

How TO TREAT WoUNDs.-Every person
should know how to treat a flesh wound.
Every one is liable to be placed in circum-
stances away from surgical and veteri-
nary aid, where he may save his own
| life, the life of a friend or a beast
simply by the eXer Use Of little common
sense. In the first place, close the lips of
sbe wound with the hands and hold them
| firmly together, to check the flow of blood
until several stitches can be taken and q
bsndage applied. Then battle the wound
| for a long time in cold water. "Should il
! be painful" a gentleman writes, "take a
painful of burning Goals and sprinkle upon
| them brown sugar and hold & a wounded
part in the smoke. In minute or two the
pain will be allayed, and the recovery pro-
cesd rapidly"
A writer in the Farmers Home Journal
closes an excellent article with these senti-
ments: The young man and the farm; on
the one hand duty, on the other an oppor-
tunity; here an obligation, there a way TO
discharge it. And in thinking of the duty
of the young man, Is it not encouraging that
he need not leave the industry where be
finds it, and that be himself, as ne fits
himself for a better farmer becomes
also q better man? This the Ia
| Dor, this the reward. The better
the man, the more noble his calling The
young men can make agriculture what they
will: it offers full returns for their best et-
| forts. The country needs better men, and
the best men will be honOred in it's service.
The best man in the end will win, and he
will reach the reward for his excellence it
matters not whether, departing, he puts up
the bars behind him, or whether he come
from marble doorstep. The youth may be-
come q man upon the farm if he will He
can do no more elsewhere.
| Salt FOR CABBAGE.-A New JERSEY gar
dener considers salt necessary to the dsvel-
opment of cabbage, especially in places far
from the coast. He finds them more crisp,
OF better favor, and to keep better when
salt is used than without. He used it as
follows: "a few days after setting out the
plants, and when they are damp, either
afer rain or when the dew is on,
| take small dish of fine salt, and walking
| among the rows, sprinkle a little pinch
or salt on the center of each plant
when the leaves begin to grow. / repeat the
saltIDg, and when the center of the leaves
begin to form the head, 1 apply salt again,
scattering it over the leaves af.er this,
look them over occasionally, and if / find
plants that do not head we'll and appear
diseased, l sprinkle the salt over freely; this
will save all such plants. quart of salt is
sufficient for five hundred plants in a sea-
son, although NOR can DO used with safety"
