all their time, thought and attention to

put it on its governmental legs, SO that

For burns and scalds there i,
nothing more soothing than tn,

hand, can be applied Immediately
1t is also more cooling tho" the
"sweet oil and cotton which was
formerly supposed to be The
surest application to allay the
smartlnS pain. 1t is the contact
with the air which gives theex-
IRENE discomfort, experienced
from ordinary accidents Of this
kind; and anything which excludes
air and prevents Inflammation is
the best thug to be at ouce applied.
The egg is also considered one of
the very oest remedies for dyscen-
terry. Beaten up lightly, with or
without sugar, swallowed at \
gulp, it tends, by its emollienl
qualities 10 lessen the iuhamma.
ton Of the stomach and intestines.
and By forming a transient coating

How Deep TO Pillow.

Nature has placed the richest
portion of the soil very near the
surface, and she has constructed
plants with their feeding roots
very near the surface also, that
they be where the soil is in the
best condition to feed them. When
man attempts to overcome these
natural conditions he soon finds
it can only bed one at a great cost,
if at all. Nature does not object
to having the soil made rich to a
much greater depth than it is usu-
ally found in its natural, state, but
when man revcrses the natural
conditions by changing the four
inches of rich surface soil and
placing it at the bottom of a fur
row eight inches in depth, and at
the same time covers it with four
inches of the rich soil, she rebels
and refuses to produce so good
crops as when only four inches Of
the richest soil is reversed.
In deciding what depth tOplOugh
land it is important to know how
deep the soil has been enriched, so
as not to 90 much below it. In
deepening soil it is best to do it
very gradually, not more than one
inch each year; even when tbs
is done it will require a larger
quantity Of manure THAI II plough
cd only the usual depth.
On land of ordinary richness a
crop of IpSan corn will grow bet
fer w5ln the same care aud ma
p@re if it is ploughed only four or
five inches deep, than if ploughed
eight or ten inches deep. What is
true OF corn is true Of rye and
similar crops; but if it is desired
to grow carrots, or horse radish, or
any deep-rOOted crops, it is impor-
tant that the land should be pre-
pared by gradually deepening the
soil until it has been well enriched
to the depth Of eight Orten inches;
when this is done deep ploughing
may be resOrted to with advantage;
but to attempt to prepare a shall
low soil in a single year cannot be
done without the application of
very large quantities of manure;
and even then it would be difficult,
if not impossible, to mingle the
manure with the soil and make it
so we'll adapted to plant growth,
