How TO GET RID OF WARTs.-Warts are
very troublesome and dis6guring. The fol-
lowing is perfect cure, for even the largest,
without leaving a scar, and has been tested
by many: Take a small piece of raw beef,
steep it all night in vinegar, cut as much
from it as will cover the wart, and tie it on
If the excrescence is on the forehead, fasten
the beef on with strip Of sticking plaster.
1t may be removed in the day and put on
every night. In one fortnight the wart will
die and peal off, The same prescription will
cure oorns.

"Right there, sir. The government of the

"Who shall take him of me?" inquired the

LUcERNE.-In reply to request of Ex
Ped in November number, for the experience
of those who had tried Lucerne, I state that
I sowed my first patch in the prairies Of East
Mississippi in the spring of 1862 and have
had it ever since. am so much impressed
with its superiority over all other. forage
plants for our hot, dry climate, that intend
making it specially. The frequent inqui-
ries of late concerning it indicate that it is
the coming plant of the South. On clay
lands, and especially the prairies of the
South, it is invaluable as a soiling and hay
crop. 1t yields three crops any ordinary year,
and will do better when very seasonable. Our
subsoil, so strongly impregnated with pbos-
phate of lime, affords just the nourishment it
needs, and, upon any land that will produce
corn, it does we'll without manuring. On
post oak land, it does not grow we'll. Two
or three mowings year will destroy any
weeds that may spring up amongst it. 1t
should be carefully guarded against the hoof
of cattle or horses, and roofing of hogs, in
wet weather. As soiing and hog plant, it
has no equal for the South, where the soil is
adapted to it, and it can be grown any where
that the soil is made rich enough.-C. F.

Instructions TO A JURY.-Speakiug of

ners in the grocery, and that the plaintiff
bought out the defendant and gave his note
for the interest, and the defendant paid for
the note by delivering the plaintiff COW,
which he warranted not breachy,' and the
warranty was broken by reason ofthe breach
iness of the COW, and the plaintiff drove her
back and rendered her to the defendant, but
the defendant refused to receive her, and the
plaintiff took her home again, and put
heavy yoke or poke upon her, to prevent her
from jumping the fence, and the COW, in at
tempting to jump the fence, BY reason OF the
poke or yoke, broke her neck and died, and
if the jury further believe that the defendants
interest in the grocery was not worth any
thing, the plaintiffs note was worthless, and
the COW good for nothing, either for milk or
beef, or for green hide then the jury must
find out for themselves how they will decide
the case-for the court, if she understands
herself, and she thinks she do, don't know
how such cussed case should be decided"

REMEDY FOR FLY IN WHEAT.-I hear
there is much "Ay" in the wheat that was
sowed earl y this fall. To correct this evil, I
offer the following remedy, which and others
have successfully tested for good many sea,
sons Sow of air.slaked or water.slaked lime,
one to two bushels per acre, broadcast, over
the wheat in the earl y morning over the dew,
or over night on clear evening, when there
is reason to expect dew or frost. As it dis
solves, it will form lye which will follow the
leaf toward the root. and destroy the egg or
chrysalis of the fly near that point.
The sower must always SOW with the wind,
else the lime will be blown back into his face
and eyes and on his clothes. And he must
grease his hands, face and nostrils with lard,
which renders contact with the lime innocuous.
IF two or more SOW they should SOW en- echelon,
at such distance that the rear shall cast no
lime on the front.
A very good, but not indispensable, plan is
to use .scoops-diminutive sugar-scoops-
that will hold double handful. 1t enables
one better to take up and measure the quaint.
ty to be applied.
This is an application 80 simple and cheap
as to discredit it with the many who are often
looking to be told "some great thing" can
only say that l know it to be effectual as a
remedy, and that in no case can it do any
harm.--FRANK G. RUFFIN, in Richmond
