A certain man walked all over the
city trying to find Philadelphia direc-
tory. A friend asked the cause of his
anxiety and was told that he wanted to
see if he knew anybody in that city, and
if so where he lived, in order that he
might make him a nice long visit next
summer And he is not the only man
who is looking up that matter.-7roy

Coverinz. fer wound. Of frees.

It often happens that, either by intention, as
IN pruning OF by accident, trees are wounded in
various ways. A common practice is to cover
large wounds with coal tar but this objected to
by some as injurious to the tree. Experiments
made in the orchards and gardens of the Pomo-
logical Institute, at Ruthlengen, in Germany, go
TO show, however, that its use in covering large
wounds is not injurious, but that, on the contra
~, q Gallons readily forms under the tar, on the
edges of the wound, and that the wounded part
is thus protected from decay. There is, never
theless, another objection; for if the tar is sp-
piled little too thick, the sun melts it, and it
runs down on the bark of the tree. This can be
obviated by mixing and stirring, and thus incor-
porsting with the tar about three or four times
its weight of powdered slate-knOwn as slate
fower-the mixture being known as plastic
slate, and used for roofing purposes. 1t is easily
applied with an old knife or fat stick and,
though il hardens on the surface, it remains soft
and elastic underneath. The heat of the sun
does not melt it, nor does the coolest Winter
weather cause it to crack: neither does it peel
off,
The same mixture is also useful for other pur-
poses in the garden. Leaky water-phts barrels,
pals, shutters, sashes ETC., can be easily repair
ed with ii, and much annoyance and loss of time
be thus avoided. 1t will stick to any surface,
provided it be not oily and as it does not hard
en- when kept in mass, it is always ready for
use. A gallon wiz last for long time.-Mdss.

plant Floor. Rnineu. 10 Horses.

Cannot some genius invent a kind of stable
floor that can be kept clean without too much
labor, which will not ruin the feet of horses
standing upon it'll q
Our horses have not much to do in the Winter
season, and we have noticed tendency in them
to become lame, but as they got over it upon
driving, we paid but little attention to the mat
ter. The past Winter we have kept but one
horse, and as public conveyance ran between
our place and Office, we have preferred to pat
ronize that and let our horse stand in the stable.
After the sleighing disappeared and the roads
became bad, he had but little exercise, and we
noticed that he was becoming lame. Surprising
that he would improve soon Spring work
commenced, we paid but little attention to it,
until he became so lame that he could not strike
q trot, and his limbs seemed weak and tender,
although we could find no sore or tender spot,
nor were his limbs swollen. We consulted a vet
Urinary surgeon, who could neither find cause
for lameness, nor prescribe a remedy.
We determined to try an experiment. We
made fence, inclOsing small plot of grass, and
turned him out, cutting grass for him. Now for
the results. For three or four weeks before
turning him out he had been getting lamer and
lamer, until he became unable to trOt. In one
week from the time we turned him out he could
trot off quite lively, and now he has nearly re-
covered. He seemed to be lame in every foot
and especially in his hind feet, and we have no
doubt that standing idle on plank floor caused
his hoofs to become dry, hard and contracted, so
that they pressed upon the tender frog. If any
of our readers know of a substitute for plank
Hoors, that will obviate the difficulties we have
aAtss, we should be glad to hesT -ff1TII them.

throuqh the wheel, one inch square, and measure
about SIX or eight inches from Journal, and coun-
tersink or doyetail piece across the joint on
both sides of the wheel, two inches wide and one
inch thick, twelve inches long, and one on each
side of journal then bolt the pieces together
with tbree-ineh bolts, countersink bolt heads
and taps-four bolts through each of the two
pieces opposite each other; now dress off the
Journals round what is on outside of wheel
wooden journals viii last one or two years;
then take piece of soft wood and make one
inch thick and ten or twelve wide; make two
small wheels; bore one-inch hole through Gen.
tire, and put one of them Oh the journal, and on
each side of the wheel-this is TO make the wheel
run true-bolt these through the wheel Be
careful and cOuntersink the bolt heads and taps,
and nail piece of tin on the outside. This will
make the wheels run smoother. When this is
tone the wheels will run true and like a top.
Then it is necessary to make a small frame for
the centre wheel. Make it of lumber that is as
heavy as the wheel lumber, and fasten this small
frame in the centre of q large frame. Get a
blacksmith to make good, strong pair of hing
es, SO that it will not break in running over
stumps or rough ground, and can be raised in
turning. Timber for frame, two inches thick
and four inches wide, and nine feet long. Bolt
these together with eight-inch bolts; put the
end pieces for wheels to run in about five inches
apart, and the long pieces on top; make wheels
from centre of track to centre, three feet and ten
inches in making frame, put the two front pie
oes of frame eight inches apart then bolt n pair
Of hound taps on, so that wagon tongue can be
put in back piece of frame will be about three
feet from the front pieces. A bench can be made |
over the wheel, so a man can ride.

Facts Ahs., Dyspep.is,

Dyspepsia is q weak stomach, made weak by
overwOrk, and, like man made weak by eyerwork,
it needs rest, needs repose; but, we cannot live
without eating, the necessity must be met by
giving the stomach as little work to do as posi-
BE, and that work should be easy, just as we
ourselves, in the weakness of recovery from dis
ease, invite our strength back by doing but lit
tie work, and that which can be easily done.
The cure of most cases of dyspepsia becomes
extremely simple, and very certain, if these few
first principles are judiciously applied in any CIV
ing case-to-wit: give the stomach but little to
do; let that little be of kind which is easily
done, and let both be so arranged that the stOn-
ach may do its work easily and soon, and have
abundant time for rest. The work of the stom-
ach is called indigestion" and means the pro-
cess of preparing the food for yielding its nntri
ent portions to the system, to give it warmth,
growth and stength.
As general thing, dyspeptics should not drink
anything at meals, because there is liquid in
the stomach which dissolves the foOd-in-a sense,
melts it. If cold water is drank, it cOols this
stomach-liquid, and it loses its power of melt
ing the food, SO TO speak; as the cooler the wa
ter is, the less it is able to melt the ice in it. OF
course, every psychologist knows that this CON-
parison is not critically true; but it conveys the
ssential practical idea to the minds of the mas
ses.-Er

Kennedy fer RaiiIes.ake-Bise.
Mr.. Robert W. Kennicott writes to the Prairie
Farmer Of rattlesuakes, as follows:
The rattlesnake was for time our national
emblem, and it is to be regretted that it was 50
soon thrown aside for the bald eagle. For de-
spite the horror in which he is held, the reptile
is by far the nobler animal of the two He is no
impotent and cowardly robber, like our emblem
attic bird-makes no unprovoked attacks-anda al
ways sounds his warning rattle, q sure precursor
OF the deadly blow that follows.
II is doubtful whether any of the popular rem
edies for serpent bits are of positive avail, ex-
cept, perhaps, the internal use Of simHlaHts Pro-
badly the best way of treating bite would be
immediate excision, if practicable, deep as the
fang entered, the application of cupping glasses,
or sucking with the mouth. A pressure over the
wound wOuld also be beneficial by retardiLg alb
sorption. To be of any use, however, these mea-
sures must be taken Immediately. DR.. Brainard
has discovered an antidote which is efficient
when it can be used. 1t is the injection of solu-
tion of Iodine (ten grains to the ounce) into the
cellular tissue of the part bitten.
IL might be as well to mention here, that the
only poisonous snakes in the United States are
those composing the family Crotalidae, which
are the rattlesnakes, moccasius and copperheads
The moccasins are confined to the Southern States
The copperh eads have a wider range, but are
now, fortunately, nowhere abundant.

A correspondent, writing from Jersey camp
meeting, tells the following: Many people sleep
in the same tent here, being separated by par.
tition. yOung Methodist fellow from Camden
had become quite interested in pretty daugh-
ter of religious farmer. One night while a d0z-
en- cold hearted fellows were trying to Sleep they
heard him say in low, sweet voice
"NOw, Caroline, dear, let me seal the vow,
do"
"No, James, cannot. What would nv father
and mother say p replied the sweet girlish voice.
"But, Caroline, you have promised to be mine,
now let us seal the vow-let us, do let US, won't
youi Do kiss me-"
"No, James, cannot, oh, l cannot"
In moment the tent partition parted, and a
big whiskered brother who wanted to sleep,
shouted:
"For Gods sake, Carrie, let Jim seal that VOW.
He'll keep us awake all night if You don't" The
vow was scaled.

Bruce-we will call him-not long since kept
a general store" in the northern part of the
State. tall cOuntryman stalked into the es-
tablishnent one day with his feet eucased in
moccasns, and planting one of them on barre /,
asked Bruce if he could fit him with a pair of
boots.
Certainly !" said the latter, and after CHANGING
at the foot proceeded to pull down q box labelled
assorted brogans, II to 49, Selecting a pair
of the former size, he handed it to the country
man with the request:
"Try that on"
The elevens were tried, but to no purpose; the
combined pulling of dozen horses wouldn't get
those boots on his feet. Twelves were next tried,
but with no better success. With an air of as
surance Bruce handed him the thirteens but
they shared the fate of the others. The country
man looked blank-Bruce puzzled; but he was
equal to the emergency. Quietly turning the
box over so as to empty its contents on the floor,
he smilingly handed the empty case to the aston
ished customer, with te request:
Here, put on pair of thin socks and try on
the box!D

RAISING TOMAToEs.-Burr tells ms that the
French mode of raising tomatoes is as follows ::
As soon as a cluster of flowers is visible, they
top the stem down to the cluster, so that the
flowers terminate the stem. The effect is that
the sap is Immediately impelled into the two
buds next below the, cluster, which soon push
strongly and produce another cluster of flowers
each. When these are visible, the branch to
which they belong is also topped down 10 the
level; and this is done five times spseessively.
By this means the plants become stout dwarf
bushes, not above eighteen inches high. In or
der to prevent their falling over sticks strings
are stretched horizontally along the rows, so as
to keep the plants erect. In addition to this, all
laterals that have 80 flowers and after the fifth
topping, all lateTals whatever, are nipPed off.
In this way the ripe sap is directed into the fruit
which acquires beauty, size and excellence un-
attsiaableb5 other means.-BostoH Globe.
