RELIEF FOR BURNING FEET.-To re-
lieve burning feet, first discard tight
boots; then take one pint of bran and
one ounce of %bicarbonate of soda, put in
a pail, and add one gallon of hot water;
when cool enough, soak your feet in
this mixture for Is minutes. The relief
is instantaneous. This must be repeated
every night for a week, or perhaps more.
The bran and b%icarbonate should be
made fresh after a weeks use. The
burning sensation is produced by the
pores Of the skin being closed, SO that
the feet do not perspire,

Some odd facts have been discovered
by M. lie Bon in a comparison he made
of the corresponding regions Of the
brain of 2S7 skulls in the Museum Of
Anthropology, Paris. He found that
l25 had a predominance Of the right
over the left side; that Ill had a pre-
dominance of the left side; and that %
had bones of unequal size but which
compensated each other in such a way
that the right side was nearly equal to
the left.

FRECKLEs.-The effectual means of
removing freckles, Is the use of those
chemicals which dissolve the existing
combination. The freckles are situated
in the middle or second membrane of
the skin, and before any other applica-
ton 1t will be advisable to soften the
surface by the use of some mild balsam
or paste.
Paste for freokles-One ounce of bitter
almonds; one ditto of barley -four; mix
with sufficient quantity of honey to
make the whole into a smooth paste,
with which the face, more particularly
where the freckles are visible, is to be
anolnted at night and the paste washed
off in the morning, after a few days the
skin will be prepared for a chemical
remedy.
To decompose the freckles by laying
hold of the iron; the following mixture
may be applied. Take one drachm of
muriatic acid, half pint of rain water;
half a t%easpoonful of lavender; mix
well together, and apply two or three
times a day with a cancels hair brush.
The acid seizes upon the iron and the
oxygen is disengaged.

One Of them being served with a small

the persistent inquirer, "you said you

DOMESTIC.

SICK HKADACHK.-"This complaint Is
the result OF eating too much and ex-
ercislng too little. Nine times In ten
the cause Is In the fact that the stomach
was not able to digest the food last In
troduced into 1t, either from It's having
been unsuitable, or excessive in guam
tity. A diet ct bread and butter with
ripe fruits or berries, with moderate
continuous exercise In the open air,
sufficient to keep up a gentle perspira-
ton would cure almost every case In q
short time. Two teaspoonfuls of pow
dered charcoal In a half glass of water
and drank, generally gives instant re.
lief" We are inclined TO think that
the above remedies may do In some, but
not In all cases. A sovereign remedy
for this distressing disease is not easily
found. A new correspondent from Con-
necticut contributes the following on
this subject: Sick headache is perlOdi-
cal, comes on at regular intervals, and
Is the signal Of distress which the
stomach puts up to inform us that there
is an over alkaline condition Of its fluids;
that 1t needs a NATURAL acid to restore
the battery TO Its normal working condi-
tion. When the first symptoms of head
ache appear take a tablespoonful Of
lemon juice CLEAR, fifteen minutes be-
fore each meal, and the same dose at
bed time; follow this up until all symp-
toms are passed, taking no other
remedies, and you will soon be able to
go free from this unwelcome nuisance.
Many will object to this because the
remedy is too simple; but have made
many cures In this way.

In ANoLD agricultural paper of forty
seven years ago, we learn that 1t is a
good plan to put a piece of chalk in the
pen with the young calves. They will
lick it and thus correct the acidity of
their stOmachs, assist digestion and pre-
vent dyspepsia, which often leads to
scours. There is no doubt that this Is a
most excellent practice. Prepared chalk
is often prescribed by doctors as a cure
for heartburn, which is a symptom of
dyspepsia, and for diarrhoea. The crude
chalk carbonate of lime) is unquestion-
ably a good preventive and remedy for
similar disorders in stock. The prepared
chalk is the crude with the gritty par
ticles worked out.

HEALTH OF CATTLE.-Here and there
we hear of cases of lung FEVER, ''pleuro-
pneumonia" among dairy COWS. 1t is
wise 10 use every precautiOn to avoid
this disease. That 1t seems to originate
in diaries In sporadic cases, would 60 to
prove that, like cholera and other gen.
eral diseases, 1t is not sin the air." as
is frequently supposed, but that 1t is
caused by some conditions which arise
from the state of the stables, or the ami
mails themselves. Damp, foul air, I'M
certain and changeful temperature and
the.breathing of fetid emanatiOns from
filthy stables and manure heaps, all
tend 10 poison the blood, and this is a
true blood disease, as may be proved by
the fact that it can be spread by inocu-
lation. To prevent disease by observing
every sanitary precautiOn, is always
possible, and In the cases of this dreaded
disease, we have little fear of its appear
ance if these precautions are generally
observed. Once started on its course,
however, there is no doubt of its conta.
gious character.

WOMEN AS FARMERs.-When so much
talk is heard over what women have a
right to do, it Is pleasant TO note The
work which ONE women have done.
Last year one of the eight premiums
offered by the Royal Agricultural So
ciety of England for the best managed
farm in the district In which the annual
exhibition is held, was awarded to a
woman farmer, Mrs. Ellen Birch, for a
farm Of 242 acres of arabic land near
Ainstce. The farm. which is charac-
t~eristic of the surrounding region, is
nearly level and is divided into fields Of
thirty acres each by neatly kept hedges,
and is a light and easily worked soil,
naturally dry. No stock of any conse-
quence is kept, as town manure is
cheaply brought on TO the land by a
canal from Liverpool, for which market
the products of the land are intended.
The rem paid is about f5, say about $25
per acre. The curse of cropping is as
follows: First, potatoes, after lea;
second, wheat; third, barley or oats,
sown with grass seed; fourth, hay
fifth, hay. after which the lea is again
broken out and planted with potatoes.
The potato crop now on the ground Is
spoken. of as splendid. Andit is on the
potatoes that all the town and home
made manure is applied, sometimes
with the addition of a little nitrate Of
soda. The grain crop, especially the
oats, was very heavy. Fifteen men
and lads are employed, at sixteen and
seventeen shillings a week, and cottage
rent. Heavy crops of hay are grown,
and after this is over for the season,
sheep are taken into grass for local
statesmen, at s%ixpence per week.

SAND on CLAY.-Mine Is what Is com.
monty called a clay loan farm. Thirty
five years ago much OF ii was stiff, hard
clay, not producing weeds and foul
grass enough 10 pay for moving. Now
then, after putting this poor crop and
my common sense together, l decided
TO employ one DIR. Sand and let him ex-
pertinent with one acre Of this clay, and

and now as his success vas so positive,
1 am faithfully fulfilling my part Of the
engagement by making heavy yearly
drafts from his sand banks.
Well, after blowing the hardest and
poorest acre In my field, which L did
soon after haying, l told a boy that
when he had nothing else to do II would
De his business TO haul sand on 10 this
land. | do not now recollect but think
we hauled one hundred and fifty or two
hundred one.horse loads. The next
spring, with a heavy c%ultivator, / thor
oughiy mixed this sand with the clay,
and without a shOvelful OF any kind Of
dressing, sowed 1t TO oats and grars
seed. The result was beyond my most
sanguine expectations yielding on an
average two ton a year with the ex-
ceptiOn of the first and last, for the next
eight years, after which | plowed again
and applied the same remedy to the
other side of the fuIrOw. Now, after
the liberal application Of sand for so
many years, my hard clay has dissolved
and l have in the place of it a good,
mellow loan. And instead of cutting
eight or ten tons of hay as formerly, l
now cut in good seasons forty tons.
For the last twenty years | have sold as
much hay on an average each year as
the farm cut when 1 commenced, and
yet | have never purchased fifty dollars
worth of manure.

BUYING GROCERIES BY WHOLESALE FOR
FAMILY Disclaimers, as a rule, are
not poor. The money invested In the
farm tools and stock they own is usually
a fair competence, and yet, from negli-
gence, or poor business management,
thousands of them buy groceries and
other n%ecessarles for their family in the
same way and at as dear a rate as these
who live from hand to mouth. This
ought not to be. Good business manage
ment Is as necessary TO success In a
farmer as industry and judgment in
strictly farming operations. There is
always some season of the year when
the main crops are sold, and the farmer
is able If ever he is, TO buy in quantity
and at wholesale prices. He should
take advantage of this time and secure
groceries enough to last through the
year. On most articles he will save II
to 20 per cent. by S % doing, and some.
times even more. Even OF sugars, a
reduction of Y to q cents per pound is
made by the barrel. The advantage of
having a supply is enhanced by the
inevitable rise in price, as the fruit
season commences in June or July. 1t
effects a very material saving of time in
having a supply of family groceries,
rather than being compelled to harness
the horse and drive to the city or cOun
try store every few days.
