If TAKEN internally with their food,
sulphur will almost invariably keep all
kinds of animals free from lice. We have
made practice for years past Of giving
heaping teasponful once week in the feed
of each of our COWS, and the same quanti-
ty to about every ten hens in our flock,
and they have never been troubled with
lice in them. It may be given in the same
proportion as to size when required In the
food Of poultry, pigs and sheep. Sulphur
is mild cathartic when desired for this
purpose, and in small doses seems to have
a general beneficial effect on the animal
system, something like salt, though; of
course, not Of that nature.-RuYal Neao

SAL TPETRR SOLUTION FOR SEED
WHEAT.-Captain James W. Phillips, a
highly successful wheat-grower near Ped
lar Mills, in Amherst, Virginia, informs
me that he has found, by repeated expert
nents through long course Of years, On
the same and in different fields, and on
several varieties Of wheat; that soaking his
seed wheat over night in a solution, made
of two pounds of saltpetre to eight gallons
of water, is a sure preventive of rust. On
taking his seed out Of the brine, he rolls it
in freshly slaked lime If he has it, if not
in dry ashes, and sows it that morning,
blowing and narrowing it in that day. He
attributes the efficacy Of the preparation
entirely to the saltpetre; which he says,
also increases the crop, and hastens it's ma
turity week or ten days.--Am Old Far

VIRTUE OF THE TOMATO LEAvks.-A
statement comes from South America that
a singular property Of tomato leaves has
been discovered by a fruit grower. Hav-
ing cut down some tomato vines, he used
them as mulch around his peach trees
He soon discovered that the cufculio,
which was destroying his fruit, abandoned
the tree surrounded by the tomato. vines.
Following up this accidental discovery,
the free use Of tomato vines proved a per-
feet protection not only against curculio
but other noxious insects. He found also,
by stepping in water some fresh leaves of
the tomato, and sprinkling the infusion
upon other plants, innumerable insects
which covered them were driven away
Some gardeners have tried the above reme-
dy, some by accident and others by inten-
ton, and their success was remarkable
One gentleman had his apple trees ravaged
by the curculio until last year, when he
secured splendid crop. He knows of no
cause for his exemption from the curculio
except the tomato plants that were grown
from the first among his trees.

RHUBARB JELLY.-Take the rhubarb,
wipe it with a clean wet cloth, peel it and
cut it into pieces an inch long. To each
pound of rhubarb add three-quarters Of
pound of white sugar. Put it to boil for
about ten minutes or until the juice is
well drawn. Strain it into q preserving
pan, let it boil quickly until it clings to
the spoon, skim it and put it into jam pots
or moulds. The quickest way to know Tilt.

VENTILATION OF BOOTS AND SHOES
It Is a matter Of the most common every
day expenses that In the wearing of boots
and shoes, and especially those made Of
rubber, the feet sweat and heat almost
continually In cold weather, making the
feet clammy and cold, and inducing chill
blains, and in warm weather, with the best
precautions exceedingly noxious. 1t is
doubtless because Of much Of the rotting
and breaking of uppers, and Is, above all,
an exceedingly unhealthy feature of the
preeant method Of dressing the feet. At
tempts have heretofore been made to obvi-
ate. this in a number of ways, for instace,
by INNER soles Of different kinds intended
to absorb the moisture; and unsuccessful
efforts have also been made to ventilate
the boot or shoe. Every person feels the
need of something that will satisfactorily
accomplish this object, A recent inven-
ton does this effectually, and is an ex-
ceedingly simple device. 1t consists of
spiral coiled brass wire, laid:in a groove
extending in and around the under side of
the insole of the boot or shoe, with holes
punched at close intervals, Immediately
over the coil. The coil is extended along
the heel, and carried to the top, where it
stops at an eyelethole, forming, when walk
ing, complete automotic air pump, con-
tinually drawing in pure air and throwing
off the foul and heated air.

case unless the farmer keeps back his wag-
