REMOVING OBJECTS RoM THE EAR
In dealing with foreign objects situated
in the external auditory meatus, syrihg-
ing the passage will often suffice 10
effect their removal but In many cases
forceps and other instruments must be
used, vet they should be employed with
the greatest caution. As a rule, II left
alone, the substance becomes loose, and
falls out on the pillow as the patient
lies In bed. In extracting foreign bodies
from the ear, NJ. DebOut has recon-
mended that the mouth of the patient
should at the same time be kept open.
1t is sufficient 10 Introduce the end of
the finger into the external auxiliary
canal, and to make the lower jaw move,
in order TO become convinced Of the en-
largement that the canal u~ndergoes
Zach time the cOndyle of the jaw is
made TO move. DR.. Volulini, in some
practical remarks on the subject, says
that in the removal of these bodies we
should never employ force; not that
foreign bodies should always be left IN
the ear, but that matters should not be
made worse by violent manipulations.
More recently DIR. Dolby has laid down
the very practical law that no attempt
should be made TO remove a foreign
body from the ear unless the auditory
canal be thoroughly illuminated. Where
this rule is broken, the tympanlc mem
5rane will most probably be ruptured,
and the life of the patient be thus placed
in imminent peril.

EDUCATING Young HoRsEs.-If you
have a colt to teach, and have the habit
Of speaking sharply and loudly, correct
yourself of it at once. Colts are timid,
h~igh-spirited things, if they are worth
anything; and he who manages them
should be ofquiet habits and have a low,
pleasant.toned voice. The trainer that
yells, stands in the same category as the
driver in the public race who screams
and whOops like a Commanche Indian
when coming down the home stretch;
the one should be banished from the
track, and the other turned out of a
gentleman's stables. Our method of
educating a colt to the harness and
wagon is to educate him singly by him
self; and this education should begin
very early. When the colt is twelve or
fourteen months old begin to put the
harness on him. In a few weeks he is
accustomed to it and ready for the
shafts. But in doing this, do not be In
a hurry. Give the %youngster time to
get thoroughly acquainted with every
strap and buckle, as it were. Let him
see everything and smell everything.
The senses of sight, smell and touch are
the great avenues of knowledge to the
horse, especially the last two. The ear
and eye give the alarm. These two or
gans stand, as IL were, on picket for the
animals safety. But If your horse is
frightened at anything, let him smell
and touch 1t, and he will fear no longer.
If your colt is afraid of the harness as
it comes rustling out of the harness
room, let him touch 1t with his nose
and smell OF 1t a few times, and he will
soon understand that 1t will not hurt
him. If he is inclined to kick or jump,
If the breeching band or any strap hits
his hams or legs, by gently rubbing them
against the sensitive places he will soon
become Indifferent to them. BY the
time the colt Is two years Of age, or even
less, he should be educated to 90 be-
tween tho shafts, either forward or
backward, and be thoroughly familiar
with the harness and vehicle, on ordl-
nary road service.

Face to Face with Disease.

How often it happens that although we
we have witnessed tHe ravages of disease in the
case Of others, we disregard his warning sig
mails in our own. 1t is only when we find him
grim he is; then, perchance, when it is too late,
medicinal aid is sought. His auant courier, his
%forerunner, is physical weakness. Fortify the
system, and you are armed against him. The
finest tonic for this purpose is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which renders digestion easy
and complete, nourishes the system, improves
the appetite, gives strength yielding sleep,
oounteracts biliousness, and keeps the bowels
in frst-rate order, Leanness, and unnatural
wanness and sallowness of the face, are obvi-
ated by it, and so genial and beneicent are its
effects, that, not only is the body ~invigorated
and regulated by Sits use, but dependency

hams is: IL lbs. table salt, IL lbs.
light brown sugar, l or. saltpetre, l OF.
black pepper, ground; mix altogether,
first MASKING the saltpetre very fine,
then working in the salt and sugar.
This is to be applied to 30 lbs. of hams
within forty-eighJ hours after killing.
No pickle is used; the preparation is
applied by hand, FASTING over the entire
surface, excepting the rind, say about
half an inch in thickness. Let them lie
in a cool place for IS or 20 days, then
smoke. We are eating hams thus cured
this season, and can vouch for their

A METHOD OF COOKING OLD Fowls
NOT Fir FOR RoAsTING.-Let the birds
be kept as long as possible hung up
where there is a free circulation of air;
and, when picked and prepared for
dressing, cover the bottom of a saucepan
with slices of good fresh English bacon,
upon which lay the bird, then add a
pint of good, strong, well-seasOned
gravy; place the saucepan upon a slow
fire, the owe being on, and let the
contents simmer for an hour and a half
or two hours, turning the bird occa-
sionally and supplying more gravy, If
necessary; when done let the contents
be put away IN a dish to cool. Birds
dressed in this manner are good hot,
but they are far better cold. For pre-
pairing poultry for the table M. Soyer
Invented a plan, by cutting the sinews
of a bird, it not only appears plumper
and fuller when cooked, rs the heat is
liable to contract the sinews, but it also
affords facilities for carving when the
sincws are divided; they are trussed in
the usual way, only using strings In
stead of skewers.
