TREATMENT OF WARrs.-The COM
mon situation of warts is the hand;
sometimes they are produced on the
face, and less frequently on other parts
! of the body. Their cause is unknown;
but from their frequent occurrence in
school-boys dirt may be supposed to
have some share in occassioning them.
The treatment of warts is to pare the
hard and dry skins from their tops, and
then touch them with the smallest drop
| of strong acetic acid, taking care that
the acid does not run off the wart upon
the neighboring skin, for if it does it
| will occasion Inflammation and much
pain. If this practice be continued
once or twice daily, with regularity,
and pairing the surface of the wart occa
sionally when it gets hard and dry, it
may be soon effectually cured. 49,
A ST. Louis physician is responsible
for the following figures: Taking the
population of this country at 4O,OOO,O00
of 300 men, 1872 never drink spirits
at all; 100 drink moderately, but not to
intoxication !; SO are ephemeral drinkers;
Is drink periodically, called "spreeing;"
and are habitual inebriates. Or 700
women 600 never taste alcoholics of
any kind; 80 taste wine occasionally;
II taste ardent spirits; 36 drink ale or
beer constantly; IA drink ardent spirits
periodically, and 3 are habitual inebri-
ates. Fewer women drink than men,
but larger proportion of them become
habitual drinkers. I'll ...... ..
The american Poultry Yard says:
Poultry requires skillful carving. The
requisites are grace of manner, ease in
the performance, a sharp knife of me-
dunn size, perfect knowledge of the
position of joints and the most COM
plete mode of dissecting. Etiquette
teaches Us that Che carver retains his
seat while carving, managing his hands
and elbows artistically, etc. Common
sense teaches us that the carver has far
better control over the platter while
standing, is more at ease, the knife is
less liable to slip, and with the majority
Of carvers the table-cloth is likely to es-
cape with fewer soiled spots. .
We often see good new coat so
wrinkled and creased by careless fold
ing as to look quite shabby. To fold
coat properly, and SO avoid this, pro-
coed as follows: First, spread it on
the table, double the left sleeve from
the elbow toward the collar, the other the
same way; then the left lapel over the
sleeve as far as the back seam, and the
other in the same manner. Next, turn
up the left skirt SO that the end may
touch collar, do the same with the right
skirt Give it light brushing all over,
and then turn one-half the coat exactly
even over the other half. Folded in
this manner, the coat may be put into
trunk, and will keep smooth during
journey of any length.
TO MAKE canvas waterproof, prepare
three baths, as follows: The first, by
dissolving one part Of neutral sulphate
OF alumina concentrated alum cake) in
ten parts of cold water. For the sec
ond, boil one part of light resin, one
part OF soda crystals, and ten parts of
water, until the soda is dissolved; add
one-third part of common salt, to sep
arate the water and collect the soap;
dissolve this soap with with an equal
amount of good palm-oil soap in thirty
parts of water. This soap bath must
be used hot. The third bath consists
OF water only. Soak tho fabric thor
oughly in the first, or alum bath; next
pass it through the soap bath; and,
lastly, rinse in the water.
SPRING WHEAT.-Spasmodic efforts
are made now and then, to grow spring
wheat in localities where fall wheat only
should be sown. Spring wheat requires
cool climate, and the hot and early
summers of the Middle States are not
favorable to it. Nevertheless, many
farmers have tried once more" and
have failed, as might have been ex-
pected, and as we have often given
warning would be the result of attempts
to grow this class of wheat too far south.
Southern New York, New Jersey, and
Pennsylvania are out of the spring
wheat latitude, and line west from
Central New York, will as nearly as pos
sible separate the fall wheat and spring
wheat districts. Where spring wheat
is sown, the seed should be in the
ground as early as the soil can be fitted
for it.
FARMERS WHO ARE WIDE AWAKE
Farmers who are wide awake and given
to investigation don't SOW SO much
wheat to the acre as they formerly did,
and they don't SOW it 80 deem. The
