SIMPLE CURE FOR DYsPEPsIA.-Milk and
limewater are now frequently prescribed by
physicians in cases of dyspepsia and weakness
prove beneficial. Many persons who think
good bread and milk great luxury frequent
" hesitate to eat it, for the reason that the
milk will not digest readily sourness of the
stomach will often follow. But experience
proves that imewater and milk are not only
food and medicine at an early period of life,
but also at a later, when as in the case of in
fants, the functions of digestion and assimila'
tion have been seriously impaired. A stom'
ach taxed by gluttony, irritated by improper
food, ipfamed by alcohol, enfeebled by dis
ease, or otherwise untitled for its duties-as is
shown by the various symptoms attendant
upon indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhea, dysen-
terry, and fever-will resume its work, and do
it energetically, on an exclusive diet Of bread
and milk and limewater. A goblet of cows
milk may have four tablespoonful of lime
water added to it with good effect. The way
to make limewater is simply to procure a few
Jumps of unslaked lime, put the lime in .
stone jar, add water until the lime is slaked
and of about the consistency of thin cream {;
the lime settles, leaving the pure and clear
limewater at the top. Great care should be
taken not to get the limewater too strong.
Keep to the direction as to the consistency,
and when the water rises, pour it off without
obtaining any of the lime. The limewater
is also very good to apply to burns and
scalds. In slakiug the lime, particular care
should be taken that none of the particles fly
into the eyes.

SOWING SEEDS.

We are sowing, daily sowing, i.., I
Countless seeds of good and i'll,
Scattered on the lovely lowland,
Cast upon the windy hill;
Seeds that sink in rich brown burrows, : =
Soft with heavens gracious rain; Z
Seeds that rest upon the surface
Of the dry, unyielding plain.
Seeds that fall amid the stiffness {
Of the lowly mountain glen;
Seeds cast out in silent places,
Trodden under foot Of men;
Seeds by idle hearts forgotten, :
Flung at random on the air; q
Seeds by faithful souls remembered,
Sown in tears and love and prayer.
Seeds that lie unchanged, unquickened,
Lifeess on the teeming mould,
Seeds that live and grow and flourish
When the sewers hand is cold; T..
By q whisper SOW we blessings,
BY 81 breath we scatter strife;
In our words and looks and actions
Lie the seeds of death and life.
Thou who knowest all our weakness,
Leave US not to sow alone! s..
Bid thine angel guard the burrows z
Where the precious seed is sown,
Till the fields are crowned with glory,
Filled with yellow ripened ears
Filled with fruit of life eternal
From che seeds We sowed in tears.
Check the forward thoughts and passions
Stay the hasty, needless hands,
Lest the germs of sin and sorrow =
Mar our fair and pleasant lands.
Father, help each weak endeavor,
Make each faithful effort blest,
Till thine harvest shall be garnered,
And we enter into rest. IS"

FLAXETER,S FAILURE.

"Got neat thing for you" said young Mr..
Flaxeter, the critic, diving into the sanctum
yesterdss morning in his usual hearty way i;
"tip-top thing; in fact, tightly dog.goned
good thing. Bout as neat thing in the way
Of az intricate combination of conundrum
and pun as ever saw, if do say it myself.
What is the difference between the Prophet
Daniel and the Danube River?" We said
there was right smart chance of a difference.
"Well, yes" said Mr.. Flaxeter, "but be
specific name il" s.-E
We named whisky and seltzer with start
ling promptness, but Mr.. Flaxeter stuck to
the business on the speakers desk and we had
to guess. We said because one is Dan you
was, and the other is Dan you be, which was
rejected as being too simple and too utterly
ungrammatical, upon which we submitted as
grammatical amendment, Dun you were and
Dan you are, but Mr.. Flaxeter said it didn't
fit. Then we said because Daniel was a
prophet and the Danube is foreigner, and
forerunner and prophet we're pretty much
unalike, but this was rejected. Then We said
because Daniel had no pocket to put it in,
and gave it up.
Mr.. Flaxeter, greatly pleased, said, "Be-
cause Daniel was cast into the den of lions
by the rancor of king, and the ironclads
cast rancor in the Danube by-no, that isn't
exactly it; Daniel, by the rancor of king,
was cast into the mouth of the lions, while
the Turkish ironclads, by the rancor Of ah-
oh! shockey, how does that 60, anyhow :
Daniel-I had it straight as die when I
came in here-Daniel was cast into den of
rancorous lions, and the Danube is receiving
the cast anchors-now I'm getting 1.-THE
Danube is-plague on it, your fool answers
are enough to make man forget his own
name. Now, then, I've got it straight; you
take it down while tell you; Daniel was
lying in den of casters by the rancor-aw,
shaw-Daniel was cast into the den of lions
by the rancor of king, and the Danube is
cast-that is, the anchors are-the anchors
are cast in the er um-er ah-the anchors are
cast in the-the-"
We suggested that they were cast in the
foundry, but Mr.. Flaxeter only gave US a
piercing look and held his head in his hands
and went on
Daniel was cast into the den of lions, and
the Danube"
We suggested to Mr.. Flaxeter that he had
better go and consult lawyer and an evan
gelist, in order to arrive at the happy combi-
nation of distorted Scripture and bad gram.
mar and apochripbal facts which appeared to
be essential to the triumphant accomplishment
of his conundrrm. He arose and went away
weeping, and we have some fear that we will
never see that conundrum again.-Burlington

:The farm and fireside.

VALUABLE H1NTs.-How to prevent chick
ems from having the gapes. In many locali-
ties it is next to impossible to raise young
chickens, from the fact that large part, and
sometimes the whole brood, will die with this
disease. To prevent this, it is only necessary
to drop a little sweet-oil on the top of their
heads two or three times after they are week
DID, The nits are laid on the top of the
chicks heads in few days after they are
hatched; and when the insects hatch and come
forth, they crawl into the nose and take their
residence in the chickens breath'pipe. Many
of the young die as the result.
How to give medicine to swine. 1t is often
said that if anything ails hog they will
surely die, because nothing can be given them.
Nothing is farther from the fact indeed, there
is no animal on the farm to whom medicine
can be administered with so much safety.
Turn the animal upon his back, when he will
invariably open his mouth, and then is the
time to turn in the medicine. Too much must
not be turned in at once, or the animal may
draw it into his lungs and expire almost in
simultaneously.
How to break horse from being bad to
catch. Whip him and club him and pelt him
as much as you will before you catch him.
but after you get him fully in hand, give him
two quarts of oats, curry and brush him, and
call him good fellow, and it will have Wis
ible impression upon the horses mind. He
will soon learn that two quarts of oats are bet
ter than the pelting.
Now is the time to purify your chicken
houses to prevent disease. Burning sulphur
in the houses sprinkling with carbolic acid !;
whitewashing with hot lime; cleansing out
frequently; providing new nests; providing
literally with ashes, charcoal, burnt oyster
shells, lime, gravel, pure water, will aid in
stopping or warding off disease. J

MAKING AND SAVING MANURE.-All ami.
mails should be bedded with some dry mate
rial that will absorb the liquid part of the
manure, and among these there is nothing
better than sawdust, which would be more
valuable if dry, but if green it can be used
under cattle with almost as good results. 1t
is our practice, when obliged to use it in a
green state, to scatter it under the fore feet Of
cattle, and by their lying and treading on it
it will become nearly dry, and when we clean
our stables push it back and replace it again
with green. By this means we are able to
increase our manure pile considerably, and
am almost inclined to think it is more valua
BILE than clear manure, for after lying month
or two it will ferment slowly, and when ap.
piled to crops will be fine and in better con.
dition to be taken up as plant food than
stable manure in its coarse, soggy condition.
Another idea in using sawdust is that it de-
Gays slowly and its effects will be felt for a
term of years or longer than stable manure
alone. Straw, dry earth, leaves, coal ashes,
and in fact anything that absorbs the liquid,
should be used in the stable to prevent the
enormous waste that is going on in our dai
ries. Where straw is used it would be much
better to run it through straw cutter, not
only on account of handling the manure; but
it would absorb more of the liquid, and if to
be used on crops the present season, could be
worked into the soil much better.-Elmira
