An exchange says of poison ivy: This
deadly foe to many is the three-fngered
variety. The following we believe to be
a sure cure for ivy poisoning: Aleum
Olive. one ounce; Bromlne, fifteen
drops; mix. Apply with camel's hair
brush three or four times per dav.
Cures in twelve to thirty-six hours
Take one tablespoonful of -four; add
gradually one pint of cold water; boil
slowly and stir well to prevent burning
until it thlckens; keep boiling till il be-
comes thin, add one teaspoonfnl OF nitro
muriatic acid, and boil until it again
thickens, when it is ready for use. This
paste Is harmless. cheap, and will neither
turn sour nor mold.
The bath room ought not to be for
gotten in the poultry house, 1t need
not be a separate department; it need
not be large; it need not be expensive.
Only box large enough for one or two
hens to wallow in, filled with dry earth.
sand, or coal ashes, into which little
sulphur or carbolic insect powder has
been sprinkled.
A farmer writes an exchange that for
scratches in horses take white pine pitch
resin, beeswax and honey half announce
each; fresh lard, half a pound; melt
well together over a slow fire; stir TIL
quite thick, SO that the parts may not
settle and separate. This also makes
an excellent application for gals, cuts
and sores OF all kinds on horses and
cattle.
Let children romp in the dirt out
doors. They need the vigor of the outer
world. Don't send children to school,
unless they are robust, before they are
seven years of age, and then for not
more than two or three hours a day.
Never deprive a child of sleep or food,
as punishment. Always let child sleep
as long as it desires to, if the sleep be
natural.
Fowls cannot tell WI 1T they feel, and
so we put down their condition of list
less heaviness to its true cause-indiges-
ton. II sometimes shows itself as a
diarrhea, easily known from that of
cholera by the lack of bloody discharges
which mark that disease. The remedies
for this state are little powdered chalk
two or three drops of laudanum or half
a dozen drops of camphor given twice a
day.-ET.
The French photograph. or copying
pad, is for several reasons, we under
stand superior to any other. The COM
position is as follows; Good ordinary
glue, 100 parts; glycerine, so parts; BARI
um sulphate, 25 parts Cor the same
amount of kaolin) water, 375 parts
Some use nothing but the glue, glycerine
and water. A piece of tin turned up at
the edges half inch will hold the mix

heat it, then add the glycerine Use ami

A pound or so of coarsely-crsshed
linseed should always be kept in the
house in an alright tin, also tin of
mustard and camOmile flowers and
poppy-heads for poultices and fomenta-
tons. A bottle of disinfecting fluid is
an excellent adjunct to the medicine
chest. So is a small wide-mouthed
bottle filled with the petals of the large
white lilv, soaked in brandy. A little of
the brandy applied at once to bruise
will prevent unsightly blackness, whilst
leaf laid on the place draws out inham-
mation.-EG.
DR.. Klein has been experimenting
with chlorine as IAN air-disinfectant,
especially in respect TO swine-disease,
this being easily conveyed by the air
He experimental with two pigs one
healthy, the other diseased-confined in
the same stable, and in an atmosphere
impregnated with as much chlorine as
the animals could endure without evinc-
ing discomfort. The healthy pig re-
manned well for so long a time as six
hours, for five successive DAYS, provided
the air in the compartment was main
tanned we'll fumigated with chlorine
gas; two good fumigations, up to a
marked pungency in the six hours, be-
ing required. One good fumigation
would effectually disinfect compart-

Viewing the infectious diseases separ-
ately, Professor Koroski finds that
cholera, smallpox measles, and typhus
are more prevalent among the poor
while diphtheria, Group, whooping-
cough, and scarlet fever are more pre-
valent among the rich. Consumption
and pneumonia claim the poor, and
brain-troublos attack the rich. Hetound
that the intensity of the infectious di>ea. e
was notably increased in the crowded
tenements. Whooping-cough and
measles are greatly i tensifed by crowd
ing On the other hand, it does not ap-
pear that scarlet fever and diphtheria
are similarly favored by the increased
number of people in the house. These
are rather surprising conclusions, and
may find their explanation when we
discover the manner in which these
various diseases are transmitted from
person to person.-Science.
The disease commonly known as
hollow horn" has no immediate con-
nection with the horns as animals with
out horns manifest the same symptoms
The disease in question is the result of
inflammation extending from mucous
membranes lining the nostrils, into the
sinuses of the skull and horns, there be-
ing a direct communication between
these parts. Debility, improper and in
sufficient food, exposure, and all other
causes that tend to weaken the system
NAV give rise to this condition. The
treatment mast then be such as to
counteract this deficiency, and should
consist mainly OF good nursing. Keep
the animal in dry, warm, well ventilated
quarters. pay particular attention to
