Treatment Of Assesses.

The term "abscess'' applies to acol-
lection of pus or of other matter in
limited cavity under an animals skin.
1t is the result of morbid process, and
may be induced by either an external
cause, such as a bruise, or the insertion
of nail or thorn, or by some internal
cause, such as popularity of constitu-
ton, or impurity of blood. 1t differs
from an ulcer in this, that in the latter
the pus is formed from an exposed sur
face. While the abScesS is forming the
skin is usually very tender, the whole
system is sometimes in state of con-
siderable irritation, and the part imme-
diately affected is always the seat of
pain, swelling, and an unusual degree
of heat. A-watery or dropsical swell
ing, on being pressed, retains for some
time the marks of the fingers; windy
swelling is even more yielding than the
watery tumor; but true abscess,
though also in some degree elastic or
impossible, resumes its former shape
the instant the pressure is removed.
Any abscess is bad in nearly the proper
ton of its hardness, redncss and power
of resisting pressure. If any abscess,
in its earlier stages, be yielding and well
supplied with fluid, it soon softens and
points, diminishes in pain. and APP
proaches a state of maturity. At the
time of the abscess pointing the
matter of it can be felt more distinctly
at one particular part than in any other
part, and n tendency appears at this
particular part to burst, and to let out
some or all of the collected matter.
The bursting, however, should not be
permitted; but at this stage the abscess
should be opened at the lowest part, or
that which would admit most readilyof
It's discharging itself. The opening
should be large, and no dressing will be
required, accept a continuance of the
fermentation, which should previously
be used. - Country Gentleman.

Food for the Sick.

The preparation of food for the sick
is one of the most necessary and grace
full accomplishments. Like other ac-
complishments, it requires time and
skill and patience to acquire it, and 1t
requires suffering also-for those who
have been sick themselves can best en-
ter into the feelings of the invalid and
cater to his preferences, and they know
how to avoid the thousand little things,
unnoticed by the well, which torment
the sick.
Sickness sharpens and refines all the
senses and quickens marvellously the
susceptibility to pain and to annoyances
of every sort The leisure which it en-
forces on the patient and the sense of
himself which it compels act with mi
croscopic power on all his surroundings,
and especially upon whatever discom-
forts may be in them. The disordered
body seems to seize hold on whatever
is in sympathy with itself in respect to
disorder, and take less notice than is
normal of agreeable things. This is Il
part of the sickness.
The STYLE in which food for the sick
is served is scarcely second in import
ance to the food itself The same ar
ticles served in careless way may
create distaste for food that, spread in
an appetizing and inviting style, would
create relish for them. Dainty china
spotless napery, shining silver,
are by none better appreciated
than by the invalid. The three
meals a day are the chief events that
break the moEotony of his existence,
and if they are delicately and carefully
prepared and served, his intellectual
and aesthetic taste will be gratilied if
palate has no aptitude for pleasure. If
the appetite is slender, as it is in most
sicknesses, the quantity prepared and
brought to the patient should be very
agination. The food should be freshly
prepared each time, and as soon as the
patient has eaten what he wishes it
should be removed from the sick-room.
A small table placed beside the bed is
better than tray placed on the bed,
and this table may be set with flowers
and china and silver and glass so as to
be very attractive. Unless the patient
has expressed a wish for some particu-
lar dish, the articles served should be q
surprise to him and capture his appe-
tite, if possible, without any show of
resistance.
The articles of diet suitable for the
sick-room are only variations of the
food used in health. OF the meats,
vension is said to be most easily di-
gested and assimilated; mutton comes
next, then beef, then poultry. Veal,
pork and all fats should be avoided.
Stale bread is better for invalids than
fresh bread, and baked potatoes better
than potatoes boiled. Fruits may be
served in their season as there is relish
for them and they are found whole
some.-N. Y. Iribu11c.

Advantages of Pasturing Hogs.

The improvement of the soil which
may be effected by pasturing hogs is
well worthy of considerate attention.
There is much land in the older settled
portions of the country which is worn
out by long cropping and for the resto-
ration of which the manure supply is
limited. BY applying enough fertilizer
to these lands to produce a good crop
of clover, the land might then be past
wed with hogs and its fertility SO in
creased as to greatly improve its pro-
ductiveness. a glance at the fertilizing
material contained in clover will make
plain how beneficial such q course must
be. A moderately good stand of clover
would afford two tons of hay in one
season, and good growth would afford
three or four tons at two cuttings. But
suppose the clover produces at the rate
of two tons of hay per acre. These two
tons according to analyses by Professor
Voelcker, of England, would contain
112pounds of nitrogen, which at twenty
cents per pound would be worth $22. 40;
twenty-siX pounds of phosphoric acid
which at ten cents per pound would
1-~.- "--~e.-tl'- 80 80. and Sixty-seven
pounds OF potash which at seven
cents per pound would be worth
S4.69; making a total of S2969 as
the value of the fertilizing material con-
tanned in the hay of one acre of clover.
BY having this clover consumed by
hogs on the ground nearly all the fer
tilizing elements would be returned to
the soil, as no very large amount would
be removed in the flesh of hogs. Three
very decided advantages would attend
the pasturing of hogs; the fertility of
the soil would be rapidly improved, the
cost of production would be greatly d.
minished, and a superior article of pork
would be produced. Are not these adj
vantages sufficiently great to induce a
more general adoption of the practice
of pasturing hogs, instead of shutting
them up in filthy and small pens? The
flesh of the pig when reared in clearly
manner is uneXcelled in flavor by that
of any domestic animals reared on the
farm. BY improving the wholesome
ness and flavor of the pork the con-
sumption would be increased, so that
farmers would find a ready market near
home for all that they could produce.
The bacon made from pasture-fed hogs
would be decidedly better than that from
the over fat-hogs. On the whole, there
is much to be gained by pasturing hogs
instead of keeping them in pens.-

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

"A band of sheep in the mountains
near the head of Tukannon River,
Washington Territory, was attacked by
and fifty-dollar buck killed. The
mountains in the vicinity are said to be
full of cougars. Chicago Tribune.
Col. F. D. Curtis says: Il do not
agree with our chemical brethren,
ycleped professors, who tell us turnips
are nearly all water and of no value
Practical experience teaches me that
this scientific dogma is mistake; and
is it not curious that an Englishman
can make the best of beef and mutton
out of water?"-M Y. Times.
To expedite the making of lemon
pie use hot water in place of cold, stir
the cut-up lemon, the sugar and corn
starch or flour and eggs together, as if
you were making pudding sauce; then
pour in hot water; if the pail or basin
containing this is then placed in a YES
sci of boiling water it will cook in five
minutes,-Erchange. ....
Here is an idea for housewives
afflicted with the pest of reaches: tits
reported that the green peel of cucum-
bers laid along the edge of the floor
where they most do congregate, and
repeated freshly for two or three nights,
will drive every cockroach from the
premises. This is an unfailing remedy,
and the secret is in the fact that the
i..;.r., of the peel is alike irresistible and
poisonous to the selfish vermin.
For an oatmeal drink the proper
tons are a quarter of pound of oat-
meal to two or three quarts of water,
according to the heat of the day; it
should be well boiled and then one
ounce or an ounce and half of brown
sugar added. If thicker than liked add
more water. Before drinking it shake
the oatmeal well through the liquid In
summer drink this cold, in winter hot.
1t not only quenches thirst, but it gives
more strength and endurance than any
other drink. If it cannot be boiled take
q little oatmeal mixed with cold water
and sugar, but this is not so good.-N.

Well, it is worth seeing. Every

dressed in spotless white, and on their

counter was life-like statue of a Jer-
