OK \ AND ilANDos
Take a handful eff threshed oats,
and fry till real brown, in about a
teacup of mutton tallow or lard.
Strain il and when cool enough, APP
ply; the first application will relieve.
Ii also is instant relief to scalds and
burns; will cure chapped hands in
winter.
To CURE A EELoN.-Commcncc
when the fclon is first felt cover II
with small piece of cotton cloth,
and keep saturated witch tincture of
lobelia for 4S hours, and the corrup-
ton will then be drawn to the sur
face so that by opening with needle
or sharp knife, the corruption will run
out, and no more pain will be felt.
For PAINFUL WouNDs.-Take a
pan or shovel with burning Goals
and sprinkle upon them common
brown sugar, and hold the wounded
part in the smoke. In n few minutes
The pain will be allayed and recov-
cry proceeds rapidly. In one case a
rusty nail ha made bad wound in
the bottom of the foot. The pain
and nervous irritation were severe.
This was all removed by holding it
in the smoke for fifteen minutes.
FALL PLANTING TREEs.-Thc
season for planting trees of all kinds,
and particularly fruit trees, is nearly
upon us. For large paintings, where
gaining time is important, or in To-
calities where the ground is long wet
in the spring, fall planting is to be
recommended. In small paintings IT
is of less importance, as they can be
put in when il suits best. Trees
planted late in the sping have not
time to throw out and ripcn up the
now rootlets before the severe heat
and drOdth comes on them and they
cannot supply sufficient sap to keep
up the moisture demanded by the
leaves and exhausted by the winds.
Fall planting to be really reliable,
should be done early. In December
and January IL becomes winter plant
ing, and in this latitude is seldom sat
isfactory. We want to plant in DC
tobsr and the beginning ofNovember
To admit of early planting the
trees should be ordered in advance
and are best obtained at point north
of the place of planting, if not OBJ
tanned in the immediate neighbor
hood, so that the growth may be full!
matured before being taken up, ano
but little time lost between taking
AID planting. The leaves often hang
on the trees after the wood is matur
cd. and may be safely removed b,
hand. In all cases the leaves should
be stripped before the tree is takei
up, or Immediately drying up will b'
the result ~
Sometimes trees are detained oil
the way in course of transportation
and; arriving ut their destination II
dry state, are planted in careles
manner and never recover, or at One
cast aside us useless. This is not al
ways the case little care will cftel
restore apparently lifeless trees
Several years ago we had package
sent by express, and by an error il
the ria were on the road six weeks
but we saved two-thirds of them
This last spring box of forest tree
was shipped to us from northern Al
ALBANIA; they lay at Corinth sevel
weeks, and reached us after trip o

other articles, and on opening wer
quite dry.
We dug long trenches, and ON open
ing them, carefully separated then
laid each singly into the trench in
gently sloping position, root deepes
covered them over the tips wit
moist earth brought into intimat
contact with every portion OF III
tree and pressed firmly. They n
manned thus for eight days and WEI
taken out plump and moist. III

old wooden rags brought in conta'

sery rows, syringed the stems occi
sionally in the evening and save
eigbty-five per cent Of them, savin
some of each lot, and now some hay

all such cases we aim to secure ne
