CUREs FOR HYDROPHOBIA.

An aged German, of the town of Hurley,
having heard that there we're number OF
cases of people and animals being bitten by
dogs, gives the following recipe, which he has
used and seen used for the past forty years,
and which he says has saved several men
and great number of animals from a hor-
rible death by hydrophobia: Tie bite must
be bathed as soon as possible in warm vine
gar and water, and when this is dried, few
drops of muriatic acid poured upon the wound
will destroy the poison of the saliva, and re-
lieve the patient of all danger.
ANoTHER.-Take two ounces of the fresh
leaves of the treebox two ounces of the fresh
leaves of rue one and half ounce of sage
chop these fine and boil in one pint of water
down to half pint; and strain carefully,
and press out the liquor very firmly. Put
back the ingredients again and add one pint
milk, and boil down again to half pint, and
strain as before Then mix both liquors to-
gether, Of which give one-third part each SUBJ
sequent morning fasting. AS it.possesses no
power to relieve the disease itself, but is CIV
en- merely as preventive, any time between
the reception of the bite and the first appear.
ance of the symptoms is the proper period
for administering it.
A curious and puzzling case in connection
with hydrophobia, occurred lately in England
A boy fourteen years of age was bitten slight
Iy on the hand while playing with Scotch
terrier. Three weeks later he became Ill, and
symptoms of hydrophobia showed themselves
and developed until he died in terrible con-
vulsions. The physician pronounced it a gen.
uine case, but girl who was bitten by the
same dog appeared to have suffered no harm'
and more remarkable still, the dog was ex-
amined by a competent veterinary surgeon
and pronounced perfectly healthy.
WHICH IS THE RICHEST, MORNINGS OR
EVENINGS MILK K2-This subject has now
been put to test of chemical analysis, and
the result is that the evening" milk ls found
to be richer. Professor Boedeker analyzed
the milk of healthy cow at different periods
of the day. The Professor found that the
solids of the evenings milk g per cent? ex
ceeded those of the mornings milk (l0 per
cent?, while the water contained in the Huld
was diminished from SO per cent. to 80 per
cent. The fatty matter gradually increases
as the day progresses. In the morning 1t
amounts to 24 per cent, at noon st per cent,
and in the evening 5S per cent. The practl'
cal Importance Of this discovery is at once
apparent; it develops the fact that while 10
OF. of mornings milk will yield but J OF. OF
butter, about double the quantity can be oo'
tanned from the evening milk. The casen is
also increased in the evenings milk from y
to q per cent, but the albumen is diminlshed
from 44.100ths per cent. to 3l-lOOths per
cent. Sugar is least abundant at midnight
(43 per cent? and most plentiful at noon (47
per cent? The percentage of the salt under
goes almost no change at any time OF the
Globe.
HORSES RUNNING AwAY.-If team runs,
do not be in too much hurry to leave the
wagon. Unless collision is imminent it is
best to stay in the wagon, if possible,
as long as it holds together. But judgment
must be used in this respect. Whenever 1t
seems necessary to leave the wagon, it is best
either to drop off behind, or else jump from
the side. In any and every case, when lea7'
ing q running team, remember and face the
way the horse is going When this has been
done a man has often times left wagon in
safety, when if he had jumped in the oppo'
site direction he would have been killed or
injured. The only possible safe
ty is in continuing in the same direction IN
which the motion has been given until the
ground is reached. When jumping is neces'
sary. always try to -strika ON the toes nr-tet-
ward part of the feet. Striking on the heels
involves much danger.-Ohio Farmer.
PENNYRoYAL AND PoTAsH.-The Scien.
,ifc american says that if mosquitoes or 9th.
er bloodsuckers infest our sleeping rooms at
night, we uncork bottle of the oil of penny
royal and these insects leave in great haste,
nor will they return so long as the room is
loaded with the fumes of that aromatic herb.
If rats enter the cellar, a little powdered pot
ash, thrown in their holes, or mixed with
meal and scattered in their runaway, never
fails to drive them away. Cayenne pepper
will keep the buttery and store room free
from ants and reaches. If a mouse makes
an entrance into any part of your dwelling,
saturate rag with cayenne, in solution, and
stuff into the hole, which can then be repair
ed with either wood or mortar. No rat or
mouse will eat that rag for the purpose of
opening communication with depot of sup
plies.
PREPARE Now FOR FALL PLANTING
Those who intend to plant out orchards
next fall ought to begin the preparation of
the ground now 1t should be plowed, manur-
ed and kept mellow all summer, which would
obviate the necessity of any special prepara'
ton at the time of planting. The odd hours of
the summer are none too long to study up the
whole subject of fruit growing and to select
varieties that will repay the labor bestowed
upon the trees. We can conceive of no folly
that person can commit in his farming ope-
rations greater than to plant fruit tree Of a
poor variety, in badly prepared ground and
half care for it for lifetime, getting no fruit
worthy of the name, and yet this is what
thousands of farmers have done and are
doing.
paS Save all the bones for homemade fer
tilizers. Take a tight barrel, box or hogs
head, cover the bottom with four or tive inch
es of unleached ashes, upon this place layer
of bones as close as they can be packed to-
gether, covering completely with unleached
ashes; then another layer of bones, and thus
alternate layers of ashes and bones until the
box or barrel is filled. Pour in couple of
pailfuls of WATER or place the vessel in the
yard, where it will get sufficient moisture from
occasional showers. In few months it will
be found that the bones are dissolved.
CURE FOR CoRNs.-The many sufferers
from this very annoying direction, will find
a permanent relief by strictly observing the
following: Take lemon and roll it until
soft cut q thick slice and bind it on the corn
