-Felons and Rusty Nails.-Elder
Evans, the Shaker, says: For the past
ten years we have treated felons with
hot water, and with unerring success.
No cutting, no blistering, no anything,
but immersing the finger, hand, or even
the whole arm if necessary, in water as
hot as can be borne, until the pain is
gone and the core is loosened and drawn
from the bone. When rusty nails h ave
produced wounds, the same course has
been pursued. If on hand or foot, keep
it in hot water"

"A run in stubble field when the
ground is bare, or the snow is only three
or four inches deep, will be of advantage |
20 the sheep. Any weakly ones should |
De turned out by themselves, in place |
where they can be looked after. A con-
'tant watch should be kept over the |
lock, lest one should fall into furrow
)r drain and be unable to recover itself. |
Ewes may thus be lost if neglected. |
Never fail to count the sheep when they
90 out and, come in. Never compel |
hem to jump over bars, hut move the
owest ones lest legs be broken. II a
heeps leg is accidentally broken, ban.
iage 1t with splints, and keep it by itself
! week or two, until the fracture is re-
,aired, which is easily done without any
lressing or other treatment.-Americdn

Beginners are sometimes told, when |
grinding edge tools, to make the stone
evolve toward the cutting edge, and oc-
from it. When the first grind
ng Is being done, it matters little
whether this is attended to; but when
he finishing touches are given near and
It the very edge, the task can always be
with much greater accu-
acy if the periphery or circumference
# the grindstone revolves toward the
:utting edge, for the steel which is worn
way will then be more easily removed;
md when a stone runs in the opposite
Erection the grinder cannot always tell
Vhen the tool is fully ground up TO the
dge. This is particularly the case when
he steel is of a soft temper. The stone,
Vhen running from the edge, cannot
weep away every particle of the metal,
ut when it revolves toward the edge it
aries off all the feathery edge.-Scien-
ife american.
