Cure for Gyspc-vine Dis ease m.
Chatot, Frenchmans recommends
common table-salt as an antidote for
oidium, or grapevine disease. lie says
that his vines and grapes were covered
for some years with a fungus-hke sub
stance. and that last spring he sprinkled
handful Of salt about the roots OF each
vine. The effect was marvellous, the
vines grew luxuriantly, and bore an
abundance Of grapes entirely free from
the fungus Of oidium.
To Prevent Catching Cold. mis-
take Is often made Of taking great care
TO put on extra wraps and coats when
preparing for outdoor exercise. This
Is not always necessary in robust per-
sons. Sufficient heat to prevent all
risk Of chill is generated in the body by
exercise. The care should be taken TO
retain sufficient clothing after exercise
and when at rest to prevent the heat
from passing out OF the body. Indeed,
persons very often catch chills from
throwing off extra clothing after exer-
else, or from sitting about In garments
the material of which Is not adapted to
prevent the radiation of heat from the
body. Linen and cotton underclothing,
when moistened by perspiration, parts
with heat very rapidly, whereas flannel
and silk, being non-conductors, pre-
vent the rapid loss Of heat.
To Treat Ftions. Elder Evans, Of
the Lebanon On. Y.) Shakers, says ::
/" For the past 10 years we have treat
ed felons with hot water, and with un-
erring success. No cutting, no blister
ing, no any thing, but immersing the
finger, hand, or even the whole arm if
necessary, in water rs hot as can be
borne, until the pain is gone and the
core is loosened and drawn from the
bone. When rusty nails have produced
wounds, the same course has been pur-
sued. II on hand or foot, keep il in
hot water"
How 10 7rem Insect Stings A writer
in the London Garden gives the follow
ing hints on this subject The pain
caused by the sting Of plant or insect
is the result of a certain amount OF acid
poison injected into the blood. The
| first thing to be done is to press the
tube Of small key firmly on the wound,
moving the key from side to side to IA
cilitate the expulsion OF the sting and
accompanying poison. The sting. Il
left il the wound, should be carefully
extracted, otherwise it will greatly in
crease the local irritation. The poison
Of stings being acid, common sense
points to the alkalies as the proper
means of cure. Among the most easily
procured remedies may be mentioned
soft soap, liquor Of ammonia Spirits OF
hartshorn), smelling salts, washing
soda, quicklime mace into paste with
water, lime water, the juice OF an onion,
tobacco juice, chewed tobacco, bruised
dock leaves, tomato juice, wood ashes,
tobacco ashes, and carbonate OF soda.
Baking Meats. Baking is more
economical mode Of cooking than roast
ing, especially in small families where
economical stoves or ranges with side
ovens are used. In baking there is less
loss OF weight than in roasting, as the
Joint is less dried. Care should be
taken Thai the HOOI VI tuc ONcA ~ hv'
too much heated or the fat may be
burnt, which causes a bad flavor. A
great advantage in baking Is that It re.
quires less attention than roasting, and
that potatoes or batter or Yorkshire
pudding can be cooked under the meat.
This latter may be made by taking four
tablespoonfuls Of flour and rubbing
them into a smooth batter with pint
OF milk which has previously had q
well-beaten egg mixed with it. II eggs
are abundant, 2 or 5 may be employed
with advantage, the quantity Of floul
being lessened. The milk and egg must
be added gradually, the batter being
rubbed until uniformly smooth aftel
