If the arnica with which bruised
limbs are bathed is heated, its good
effects are perceptible much earlier than
if it is applied while cold. If arnica is
to be taken as remedy, as so many ply
sicians recommend in cases of severe
sprains, it should be prepared with water
in this proportional teaspooEful of ar
MICA in a goblet two-thirds full of water,
and of this q teaspoonful is to be taken
once an hour or once in two hours, as the
severity of the case determines.
President Chadbourne, of the Mas
sachusetts Agricultural College, says:
at is plain that farming will not take its
true place, nor farmers have that influ-
ence in the government of our land
which they oughtto have, until they take
their place with other professions, not
only as men of power and practical
ability. but as men of learning and eul-
ture. Those who claim that the farmers
life forbids this result have never vet
fully appreciated the farm as a place for
study and thought, as well as place for
labor.
The quantity of salt and saltpetre
required to prevent cream from becom-
ing bitter is one teaspoonful of salt and
half as much saltpeter to the gallon.
The best way is to procure the powdered
saltpeter. and keep it in bottle. Dis
solve the salt and saltpeter in water and
stir it in the cream when thought neces-
sary, that IS, when it is two days old;
then, as fresh cream is added, the whole
is stirred gently. This would not in
jure the buttermilk for use. 1t is well
to do this when cream has to be kept in
a warm room.-N. Y. Times.
