UTILIZING CARCAsSEs.- "a CT cap Lei Of
manure may be made of an old car cass Of a
horse, COW, etc., which are, often drawn
away to the woods, to poll ute the atmos-
phere. Do not do this, out put down four
or five loads of muck or so d, roll the car
cass over it, and sprinkle it over " it'll
quick-lime, covering over immediate ly
with sod or mold sufficient to make, witt
that already beneath, twenty good-sized
wagon loads, and you will have $25 worth
of the best of fertilizers in less than year,
and no fears need be felt in applying to
any crop. One beauty of this plan is, the
animals need not be moved far away, there
being not the least stencil. All animals
which you are unfortunate enough to lose,
can be utilized in this way, and be made
to go great way toward replacing them
Smaller animals, such as sheep calves, and
dogs can be treated in the same manner,
with about the average amount of sod Oh
muck prop0ftionate to their size. When
possible, place three or four in one pile,
as the labor of covering would be proper
tioDately less but it is uot much work to
make heap of any animal, however large

* CURE OF DETERMINATIONS of the Am
bulance" sends the following extract from
South African paper !: 1--WE can vouch
for the efficiency of the following remedy
for diptheria. A few years ago, when this
dreaded disease was raging in England, a.
very simple and rapid remedy for it was
discovered by the celebrated DR.. Field,
He put a teaspoonful Of flour of sulphur
into wine glass of water, and mixed it
with his finger instead OF spoon, as the
sulphur does not readily amalgamate with
water. When the sulphur was we'll mixed
he gave it as gargle, and in ten minutes
the patient was out of. danger. Birthstone
Kills every species of fungus in man,beast
and plant in few minutes. Instead of
splitting the gargle out, he recommends the
swallowing of it. In extreme cases, to
which he had been called just in the nick
of time, when the fungus was too near
closing to allow gargling, he blew dry sui
phur through a dry quill into the throat,
and after the fungus had sank to allow of
it, then the gargling, and. he never lost
patient from diptheria.
= CLEANING BLACK SIIK.-The Partisan
method of cleaning black silk is very SIM
pie, and the result infinitely superior to
that achieved in any other manner. The silk
must be thoroughly brushed and wiped
with cloth, then layed fiat on board or
table, and we'll sponged with hot coffee
thoroughly freed from sediment by being
strained through muslin. The silk is
sponged on the side intended to show; it is
allowed to become partially dry, and then
lroned On the wrong side. The eeffee re-
moves every particle of grease and restores
the briiliancy of silk without imparting to
it either the shiny appearance or erackly
and papery stiffness obtained by beer, or,
indeed. any other liquid. The silk really
appears thickened by the process, and this
good effect is permanent. Our readers,
who will experiment on an apron or era
vat, will never again try any other meth
