Some Useful Medicinal Plants.

Boneset grows along the borders Of
marshes, bitches and in low lands, and Is
often made into tea for an emetic, tonic.
or cathartic. 1t IS very useful in coughs,
compounded with other herbs, useful also
in colds and fevers. Nav weed, a native

waste places, anc when once it is rooted

to spread or be Troublesome in cultivated
lands This plant, when made into tea, is
also useful in colds; mixed with boneset

HUMOROUS.

A LOVERS private gymnastics: How
beautiful is the exhibition Of humanity in
the young. A little boy found poor half
frozen wasp in the garret and placed it on
a chair before the parlor fire to thaw out

on such an act of kindness
When sister Mary's beau called that even
ing he glanced at the chair, and, seating
himself murmured: ..Ah, bless her hesrt,
how thoughtful she is Of my comfort!''
Two minutes later there was as much
noise and racket in that parlor as if it had
been turned into a den of demons. The
wasp had thawed out; that Is why Mary
isn't married yet.

then be closed with strips of adhesive plas

keep 1t. In milking be careful not to dis
place the dressing-snd it will perhaps be
better 10 draw the milk with a tube for
several days. If the opening in tie teat
is not quite small, it may be necessary to
close it by stitch just through the skin
with fine thread. In most cases the
scratching OF the edges Of the opening with
knife and the application of collection will
however, be sufficient.

WIDE TIRRs.-Those who have learned
to Use wide tire wagons find grest advan-
tage. in SO doing. They could not be in
duced to go back to the narrow tire. The
philosophy of this is readily observed. The
broad tire does not cut through. either in
mud or sand thus making the draft much
lighter; besides this the roads are not cut
up, but on the contrary the broad tire
presses down the Jumps and leaves a
smooth track, thus bettering the roads, the
advantage of which is easily understood.
The tire which seems TO meet with general
favor is from three and half to four inch.

that on the ear is better digested. A horse

AGRICULTURE.

LYING In FALLows-That there ls a
wonderful progress In agriculture, COM
parison of the practices of the present with
the not very remote past abundantly shows.
There is little doubt but that considerably
more profit is derived from the same space
of ground than even men not very old used
to obtain. In these increased productions
consist the most encouraging Of progress
sive features Not thirty years ago, q
year of idleness was an essential feature In
the regular rotation of an English farm.
The summer 'fsllows" almost invariably
preceded the wheat owing. But now
the laying down Of land to resi- as pre-
liminary to the sowing of grain Is rarely
thought Of. Still II continues in other
countries, where the free communion OF
mind with mind, through the means oil
agricultural papers, has not been brought
about. In France, especially. it seems
that the practice of summer following is as
common as 1t ever was. 1t is quite likely
that the change in the practice in England
is due indirectly 10 the writings Of Liebig
and others, who, about the time we re-
fer 10, created much thought by their wri-
tings. Because some of their views failed
in time to secure the attention hoped for
them, there is no doubt that We owe them
much. Ii is, indeed, not always that as
much direct good flows from the work OF a
great genius rs is expected. but the indi
rect good. not 50 often recognized, Is often
much greater than all In this case we
have not derived as much benefit from soil
analysis as the great agricultural chemist
heped for; and yet, what they told us about
the elements of nutrition and the nature OF
plant-food was DO doubt the entering
wedge which Ultimately broke up a very
absurd and wasteful system.
That land will slightly improve Dy being
crested" there is, OF course, no doubt. II
was part of the old wasteful system, or no
system OF Sosthern agriculture. A crop Of
cotton or of corn was taken successfully
from the same land, and then it was left to
grow to weed. and tIiars, until after a
few years it was taken in hand for the same
crops again. But in this case it was as
much the decsying matter formed by the
weeds, If not wholly by them, as from any
imaginary principle of rest. In this then
our generation has gained one great advan-
tage. We need not every fifth year or so
give fifth Of all We poAsess as sacrifice
to the recuperatIve powers of Nature. She
need never rest, in the sense that human
minds understand. Give fuel TO the fire
and it Will burn forever; and, with the
proper plant food, continually and intelli-
gently applied. there is no reason why the
same piece Of land would not bear annual
tops to the end of the world.
