CuRE FOB FARACHE.

Place little black pepper upon cot
ton batting, and roll up the cotton with
the pepper inside. Then dip it into
sweet oil, insert in the ear, and put q
hot flannel cloth over the ear, or hold
the ear over cup containing hot water
poured upon tobacco leaves.-Dr.

NEW CURE FOR BURNS.
It has been ascertained that the very
best remedy for burns and scalds is the
application of common cooking soda or
any other alkali in a neutral form, which
will afford instantan sOuS cessation from
pain. In all cases OF superficial burning
this simple treatment will effect perfect
cure in a few hours, and the severest
burns and scalds soon yield TO it.
CURE FOR A BONE FELON.
OF all painful things, can there be
anything SO excruciatingly painful as a
bone felon? as soon as the disease Is
felt put directly over the spot fly
blister about the size of your thumbnail,
and let 1t remain for SIX hours, at the
expiration of which time directly under
the surface of the blister May be seen
the felon, which can Instantly be taken
out with the point of a needle or Ian
Get.
ANTIDOTE FOR POISON.
A standing antidote for poison by
dew, poison oak, ivy, etc., is to take a
handful of quicklime, dissolve in water,
let it stand half an hour, then paint the
poisoned parts with it. Three or four
applications will never fail to cure the
most aggravated cases. Poison from
bees, hornets, spiderbites, etc., is in
stantly arrested by the application of
equal parts of salt and blcal Donate OF
common soda well rubbed In on place
bitten or stung.
CURE FOR CORNS.
The following formula is highly recon-
mended for the cure of corns, whether
hard or soft. 1t is applied by camePs
hair brush or bit of cotton, and i'm
mediately dries on, forming a firm Or
artificial skin. Four days after the APP
pIication warm foot bath should be
used to remove the film, and, if neces-
sary, it can then be re-appied. Usual
Iy the corn orpart of it becomes loosened
and comes away with the finn. The
formula Is: Salicylic acid, 80 parts, or
grs.; ext. cannabis ind1ca, parts, or
grs.; coIlodiop, 240 parts, or Fl. OF.

At a reception given the other day to the
American committee which had nominal
part in the revision of the bible, the Rev. Dr.
;Schaff predicted sgreat and growing favor for
the revision"
Yet a year and half has elapsed since the
publication of the revised new testament, and
it has made scarcely any Roadway against the
old version. The new testament used, read
and quoted by English speaking people is still
the one given us by King James's translators.
Immediately after its publication the lately re-
,vised version commanded an enormous sale as
a novelty, but soon the demand for it became
insignificant, and already it has almost passed
out of the public thought.
! The truth is, the old version of the bible il
an immovable part of our literature-is inter-
woven with it. 1t is not regarded or esteemed
as a translation merely, but is cherished as
one of the pillars of English literature The
proved inaccuracy of some of its renderings
does not shake it, so deep are its foundations.
It is great English book, and as such would
stand forever, even if skepticism could sue
coed in breaking down the religious faith of
which it is the support.

says: /.
The Republican party has not

Take Care of Your Stock.

American Agriculturalist.
1t is absolute economy to pro-
vide warm and comfortable winter
quarters for all live stock, with an
ample supply of pure fresh air.
When animals are housed in well~
made barns and stables, they re-
quire much lessfood to keep them
in good condition. Lumber, in
this form, is cheaper than hay or
grain for %wintering farm stock.
Pure water in abundance is very
needful for the health Of the ami
mails. 1t SHOULD be drunk fresh
from the well. If left N the trough
to freeze, it soon becomes as cold
as ice water, and when taken into
the animal system, it requires
much heat of the body to bring it
up to the required temperature.
Avoid as far as possible having
the watering troughs partly filled
with ice and snow. They may be
made so as to turn over when not
in use, and this keeps them clean
and free from tho chilling ice.
Live stock should be fed regu-
larly. Event not generously fed,
this regularity is better than an
excess for a few days, and then a
lack of food for IL time. Animals
are never contented when hungry,
and they should not be permitted
to thus become uneasy. The dam
age done by one omitted feeding
cannot be made good by a double
ration afterward. This slip-shod
method Of feeding is quite
sure to bring disorder into the
flock or stable.
All idle team may be wintered
upon good hay alone, but when
lightly worked. a little grain at
noon may be needed. They are
to be kept in good health and
fesh,~ and the amount of grain
should be governed accordingly
Horses doing heavy work will need
a few quarts of ground oats and
corn daily, in addition toan abun-
dance of the best hay. Young
colts should have excellent care,
for their future usefulness depends
largely upon the growth they
make the first winter. Linseed oil
cake in small doses is one of the
best remedies for costiveness In
the young farm animals.
AS weather begins to grow cold,
the COWS will fail off in milk unless
an abundance of nutritious food is
provided for the stalls. Beets cut
or pulped, and mixed with cut
hay, to which cornmeal is ad'
ded, make an excellent ration for
mich cows. 1t is of the greatest
Importance to keep up the flow OF
milk at the beginning of winter.
| Calves and ycarlings may be kept
in roomy sheds where, with good
feed and abundant litter, they
| will make a large amount of OK
| cellent manure before spring.
Sheep should be kept from the
lambs, or they will crowd or roll
the young stock. The flock may
| take a run on the stubble fields
| during warm days. The ticks
should all be killed before mid
winter. Breeding ewes to have
early mutton lambs, should be
kept in a separate yard or shed
where they must have generous
feeding.
