fected with q cloth thoroue hly saturated
with tincture of lobelia, and the felon
is dead.
-Hiccough in children is immedi-
ately stopped by giving them lump
of sugar saturated with table vinegar.
The same remedy was tried on adults
with similar instantaneous success.
If salt is added to meat in large
quantities, it prevents the appearance
Of the red color, but if it is applied q
little at q time, and the meat is after
wards smoked, q good red is obtained.
To cure the scab or scurvy legs in
poultry take lard and kerosene oil,
equal parts, to which add sulphur suf-
ficient to make q paste; rub the legs
with this mixture till the scabs come
away, then smear with q little olive oil.

of white Indian meal, pinch of salt, half
teacupful of milk; thoroughly scald

ter, pepper and salt is dish fit for the

not too large ones and boil them; pota-
toes that are mealy are not good; when
cold, cut in slices and pour the oil on
them, and let them stand awhile; slice
q third of an onion, as fine as possible,
and mix with the potatoes; add vine
gar to taste; salt and pepper; the addi-
ton of Dutch herring makes q her

Wagons or carts with broad tires
may be drawn over newly plowed land
without cutting in, and on muddy roads
they are pulled with greater ease than
narrow tires, because the soil is packed
down and not cut up. The popular
prejudice in favor of narrow tires is q
strange one, as it is impossible to keep
roads in repair where they are used.
They are also very hard on horses. II

of this and have it built with broad
tires. De If
