Medical Properties Of Eggs.

The white of an egg is said to have proved
eficacious for burns. Seven or eight sue
cessive applications of this substance soothe
pain and effectually exclude the burned
parts from the air, and are preferable 10 col.
lodion or even cotton. Extravagant stories
are told OF the healing properties of an oil
which is thus made from the yolk of hens
eggs The eggs are first boiled hard; the
yoIks are then removed, crushed and placed
over a fire, where they are carefully stirred
until the whole substance is just on the point
ofigniting when the oil separates and may be
poured off. One yolk will, it is said, Weld
nearly two teaspoonfuls of oil. It is also
said to be valuable as means of curing cuts,
bruises and scratches.

Hair Dressing.

Sage tea is one of the very hest washings
and dressings for the hair. The hair should
be carefully brushed and braided in two firm
braids, then the roots rubbed with sponge
dipped in lukewarm sage tea. After which
the braids can be washed and dried with
towel. This preserves the color OF the hair
and keeps the scalp clean.

Lice ON Cattle.

Years ago an agricultural writer observed
his bull to be free from lice, but not 30 the
rest of his cattle; and thinking over the mat
ter, he came to the conclusion that the habit
of paving dirt over himself must have the eff
feet of keeping lice off the bull, and be tried
dry earth on the rest of the cattle with the
best effect. Ever since reading the above I
have used nothing but dry earth, and have re-
peatedly put it on cattle having lice, and bave
found it perfectly efficacious, both as pre-
veDtive and cure. II in winter / find it
needed and cannot get earth otherwise, go
into my cellar and obtain a few quarts, no fear
OF using too much, and dry it on the stove !;
l then sprinkle it over the back from head to
tall, and, the earth working into and through
the hair, soon destroys all the lice. I believe
the earth to be just as efficacious, less expen-
sive than tobacco or any of the acids recon-
mended.-Fdrmer's Advocate.

To Di.,iuguish Co,,on from Wool.

Ravel out the suspected cotton fiber from
the wool and Apply fame. The cotton will
burn with fash, the wool will curl up, car
bonize, and emit burnt, disagreeable smell.
Even to the naked eye the cotton is noticea-
bly, different from the filaments of wool, and
under the magnifer this difference comes out
strongly. The cotton is flatteried, more or
less twisted band, having very striking re-
semblance to hair, which, in reality, It is
since in the condition of elongated cells, it
lines the inner surface of the pod. The wool
may be recognized at once by the zigzag
transverse markings ON its fibers. The sur
face of wool is covered with these furrowed
and fine twisted cross lines, of which there are
from 1000 10 1000 in an inch. On this
structure depends its felting property. FL
nally, simple and very striking chemical
test may be applied. The mixed goods are
unraveled, and little of the cotton fiber put
into one dish and the wooden in another, and
drop of strong nitric acid added. The cot
ton will be little or not at all affected; the
WOOL on the contrary. will be changed to a
bright yellow. The color is due to develope-
ment of picrate.

Ashes.

Many farmers have no convenient place in
which to store their ashes, and consequently
they put them in barrels out of doors. Too
often these are left uncovered. or the covers
blow of, leaving the ashes exposed to the
damaging influence of the rain and dew. Ev-
identity they do not realize the great value
which ashes contain as fertilizing agent II
they did they would never allow them to run
to waste. On the contrary they would apply
them to their cops. If a man has good
place in which to keep them, one in which
they cannot be injured by rain and in which
there is no danger from fire, it is well enough
to let years stock accumulate and apply
them in the spring. This, however, in case
part of them are not needed for crops in the
summer. Some of our readers who have ashes
which they think they ought to dispose of in
order to prevent loss, may here inquire to
what special crops they should be applied at
this season Of the year. We reply that for
onions, ashes are among the very best of fertil-
izers. For this crop, if applied now, they
should be strewed along the rows lengthwise,
and the cultivators should be run between
them or else they should be hoed by hand.
Applied to Indian corn, a handful to each
hill, Immediately before rain, or just before
the crop is hoed, they give good returns.
They are also very good for vines in the gar
den. In moist seasons the application of ash
es to grass land Immediately after the first
crop of hay has been removed, has very fine
effect and insures a good crop of rowen.
There are ways enough in which all the ashes
that are made can be proftably used on the
farm and they certainly ought to be saved
and used to the best possible advantage.-N.
