Simple Remedies.

Half a teaspoonful of common table
salt dissolved in little cold water, and
drunk, will instantly relieve heartburn
or dyspepsia. If taken every morning
before breakfast, increasing the quarti-
ty gradually to teaspoonful of salt and
tumbler of water, it will in few days
cure any ordinary case of dyspepsia, if
at the same time due attention is paid
to the diet. There is no better remedy
than the above for constipation. As q
gargle for sore throat it is equal to chlor.
ate of potash and is entirely safe. It
may be used as often as desired, and if q
little is swallowed each time it will have
q beneficial effect on the throat by cleans
ing it and by allaying the irritation. In
doses OF one to four teaspOonfuls in half
q pint to pint of tepid water it acts
promptly as an emetic, and in cases of
poisoning is always at hand. 1t is an
excellent remedy for bites and stings of
insects. 1t is valuable astringent in
hemorrhages, particularly for bleeding
after the extraction of teeth. 1t has
both cleansing and healing properties.
and is therefore q most excellent appli-
cation for superficial alterations.

O0t.Seeding Per Acre.

In this section where corn does not
average over half an acre to each
farm, fully half the ploughed land Is de-
voted to oats. The seeding is therefore
quite an item. Some SOW five bushels
per acre. larger number four, and 1t
may be there are few who, like N.Y.
self, find when the acre is evenly and
satisfactorily seeded that only three and
one-half bushels are used. When each
OF the mentioned classes become almost
convinced that their practice is best. q
little item like the following, from The
Vermont Waterman, unsettles their
minds, as it very properly should:

thick. The past year on two acres of
corn stubble he sowed two and one
quarter bushels of oats and harvested
!55 bushels" The average reader llight
Justly claim that in experiments, and in
patient investigation, potatoes and corn
have received much greater attention
than oats and wheat, which are equally
important crops. About twelve years
ago my father, to test a current theory,
sowed ten bushels of seed on an acre Of
light soil in only moderate condition.
The stalks were crowded, small and from
one to two feet high, with heads con.

the yield was not over twenty-five BUSH

Wheat Freezing and ThawinR.

Wheat Freezing and Thawihg.
In speaking of the effect on wheat of
the alternate freezing and thawing in
the spring contest between winter and
sumner, the American Agriculturalist
reasons in this manner: Keep in mind
that water, in passing from q tempera-
ture of 80 degrees to 80 degrees to ice),
expands about one-eight of its bulk. A
wet soil does the same. The fine deli
cate rootsand root hairs. of which there
are tens of thousands on every wheat
plant. ana which are Its feeders or
sap suppl,ers, are ,ofnecessity stretched.
torn and broken by this expansion Of
thawing thus destroys only ten per cent.
ofthe rootlets, there would still be enough
for most of the wants of the plant. But
repeat the operation dozen times. re-
ducing the roots ten per cent, each
time. and we should not have quite 30
per cent. of the original roots left alive.
In favorable season with q steady mois-
ture left in the soil, the plants may en-
dure from five to six of these freezings,
and yet have enough roots left, and af-
forwards produced, to supply sap for
the maturing OF q fair crop. But with
dry weather in June and July the plants
will not have roots enough to furnish
the needed sap, which is the life blood
of the plant, the carrier of food from the
leaves and roots to the interior of the
plants. Dry earth does not expand in
freezing, and the nearer dry soil is,
the less the expansion.

Syrup from Sorghum.

Mr.. G. ]. Barber, Smithland, Iowa,
makes annually, and has done SO for q
dozen years, from 5000 to 1900 gallons
ofsyrup from sorghum. grown on thirty
acres. Some particulars of his practice
we quote from Governor Cues Home
stead:
II begin working up the cane when
the seed is in the dough. When the
seed gets ripe, lay the cane in armfuls
just right to load and even up the heads,
and top it. let the seed lie there until
cane harvest is ended. l then take q
low wagon with hayrack, and gather
the seed. 1plant my cane seed in drills.
l do not strip it. Last year l used q
covered evaporator, and like it very
we'll. used begasse for fuel, and pre-
fer it to wood. There is but one obiec-
ton, the danger from sparks. Can any
one tell me how to guard against this
trouble? l can make forty gallons more
Of syrup a day by using begasse for
fuel than with wood. l work up the
cane about as fast as cnt it,"

What Made Consul Frisbie
Thankful.

In Rheims ths7e is no poor-rate on
the rolls of the tax-gatherer, nor aim
houses for the benefit of the INDECENT
and destitute poor, and but very little
municipal or government aid is given
them; and am told that the same reg
ulation, or rather lack Of regula-
ton, prevails throughout France, a.
there is no law authorizing a different
course, and that when there is no work
for the poor to do they must live mostly
struggle at best they may, awaiting bet
ter times for relief. When I "look on
this picture and on that, feel thankful
that am . citizen of that most highly
favored country where labor is we'll re-

bic endeavor, are always sure to find .
renumerative and happy reward.

Miscellaneous Recipes.

LIQUID GLuE.-May be made by cover
Ing bits of common glue with vinegar.
When dissolved, if too thin, add more
glue; if 100 thick add more vinegar. In
putting in the cork, be careful and have
no glue on either the cork or the part of
the bottle it comes in contact with, or it
will be very difficult to remove it. This
glue answers every ordinary purpose for
which glue is used in the household.
To REMOVE FREcKLEs.-u.) Moisten the
finger with water, dip it into finely
powdered nitre, and apply it to the
treckles. Patiently continued, this
remedy is said to be q sure one. (2)
Mix drachm Of borax with pint of
water, and apply to the freckles night
and morning. (3.)Sal anmoniac, one
drachm: pure water, one pint; lavender
or cologne water, one-quarter ounce:
mix and apply with the finger night and
morning. Those applications can do no
harm to the health. In answer to many
inquiries from the same paper as Just

poses, for stopping leaks in seams of tin
pans or wash-boilers, to fasten on lamp
tops, tighten loose joints of wood or iron,
loose boxes in wagon hubs, and q great
many other things. The article should
not be used until the cement has hard
ened, which will require from one day
to a week, according to the quantity
used. This cement will resist the action
of water, cold or hot: of acids, and of al
most any degree of heat.
Before paint or calcimlne is applied to
walls, every crevice should be filed
with plaster or cement. For the calci-
mine, put a quarter of a pound Of white
glue in cold water over night, and heat
gradually in the morning until dissolved.
Mix eight pounds of whiting with hot
water, add the dissolved glue, and stir
together. adding warm water until about
the consistency of thick cream. Use q
calcimine brush, and finish as you 20
along. If skinned milk is used instead
of water, the glue may lie omitted.

A COngressman's Wife.
rom q Washington Letter.

1 heard a good story the other day
about venerable ex-member of Con.
gress from Pennsylvania, who has been
married twice, and has for his wife q
lively young lady who is extremely fond
of social gayeties. Not long ago she
mede an engagement to accompany q
young naval officer to one of the fashion
able balls, and told her husband she was
going. but neelecting to say that she had
secured an escort. He appeared to be
pleased and said that he would accom-
pany her. This was more than she had
bargained for, and she resorted to va
rious expedients to get him to stay at
home. The more reasons she gave. the
more he was determined to go. Things
were getting desperate when q bright
idea struck her. She took the old gem
tleman' g false teeth and hid them, and
when the evening came he was still
without those necessary adjuncts to
mastication. He wondered and raved,
and raved and wondered, but it was no
use, he couldn't find them. and finally
was obliged to remain at home, while
his wife tripped gaily to her carriage,
and spent most delightful evening.

A Disc0uraging Direction.

"A OASCOUraEs1u& D1fGCClO0.
There is an old story about the two
roads. leading to the same place, which
were 80 bad that whichever one trav-
eler took he always regretted that he had
not taken the other one. In the earlv
days of Texas that story received a new
application.
A belated traveller findin, himself at
the junction Of two roads, as night was
approaching, inquired the way to the
nearest town.
"Well stranger, there's two on them.
You 60 this way and you'll find one and
You 60 that way and you'll find the 9TH

right, you'll wish you'd gone thar"
pointing to the left; land if you 20

wish you'd gone thar
The man then passed on and left the
traveller to make his choice, who, turn

. miserable broken.down house from
which feeble light dimly appeared. It
proved to be the tavern, but destitute of
al the comforts and most of the neces-
stiles of life.
After an attempt at satisfying his hum

food, he retired for the night. Sleep
was impossible to one conscious that he

but did not hesitate to go in the direction
contrary to that he had chosen before.
In external appearance, this tavern
exceeded the other. but within the filth
was intolerable. A supply ofcoarse food
was set before him, but such waists con-
dition that a starving man would almost
have refused it. The bed contained as
many corn-cObs a. husks. In addition
to the bright-hued sharers of the couch
great gray rats scampered over it.
In the midst of his torment, the gem
tleman burst out laughing. The old
