TABLE SALT IN MILK FOR CiuLDREN.-Dr.
@. @. Smith, in the Pacific Medical Journal,
gives the following useful hint, which, by
the way, Is confirmed by other excellent
authority: "When cows milk is found to
disagree with handled babies or small
children, 1t may in many cases be render.

expedient among our people, and know 1t
to be of real value"
PRESERVING CABDAeEs.-0ur mode in
saving cabbages during the winter Is to
stand them in rows upright, as they grew,
buried up to the lower leaves. After an
oblong bed OF them is prepared, cover
with leaves or straw, and place over 1t an
|improyised roof formed OF bean-poles laid
across rough frame, covered with corn
stalks, and to lean enough to carry of the
water. We have often kept our cabbages
TO the first OF May in this way. Some PEG
pie put the heads down and bury up to the
stalk but we don't think they keep as
well, and It entails more labor.-German-
torn Telegraph.

notion that willows grow best on wet land
Il may be that the plants will grow faster,
btit the best basket willows are grown on
any good grain land, and are injured by
undue moisture in the soil.

now in progress in the United States with
regard to the hog cholera we extract the
