Writing to the New York World a
gentleman says 'Pneumonia can b'
cured if the person will apply prompt
ly over the lungs poultice or draft
made of mustard and flaxseed meal
keeping quiet and warm in bed
Prompt action is of vital Importance
and there is no occasion for waiting
for the arrival of an 'old-fashioned' oI
'new-fashioned practitioner when SO
simple remedy may be applied by any
one, and if taken in season will, j
think, always be effective. In my first
personal experience my determination
not to give up business, even for day,
came near costing me my life. The
case was neglected till an eminent ply
sician said that my right lung would
be of just as much nse to me out on
the table as in the condition it then
was, fact of which | was already
pretty well aware, but the mustard and
fiaxseed poultice mastered the disease
and restored my lung to its normal
condition, as good as new. In the sec
ond attack, year later, the case was
taken IN hand promptly, the poultice
applied, quiet and warmth maintained,
aud speedy recovery ensued without
physician being called Mustard is
an old fashioned cure, and its healing
virtues can hardly be oyer-estimated.

Spring is the best time of the year
to move bees. The combs are not
heavy with honey, there is no hot
weather to melt the combs or suffocate
the bees, the combs are tough with
brood, and there are but comparative
ly few bees in the hives. a spring
wagon is the best to haul them in,
but lumber wagon can be used if
plenty Of straw is placed under the
hives and the driver is careful. IL the
top of the hive is covered with wire
cloth, it will furnish sufficient ventlla-
tion early in the season in hot wealth
er both top and bottom of the hive
should be covered with wire-clotb.
The frames should be nailed at the
ends to prevent their slipping about.
When bees are moved only short dis.
tance, there is usually trouble from
their returning to their former loca-
ton. If the distance that they are to
be moved is very short. it can be ac.
complished by moving them only a
few inches each day if the distance is
several rods, the bees should be fasten-
ed in their hives, then disturbed by
drumming upon the hives, after which
they can be carried TO the new loca-
ton. Before releasing them, however,
board should be leaned against the
front Of each hive. Then, as the bees
come rushing out, they strike their
heads against the board, which causes
them to notice their new location and
take "bearings" as they leave for the
fields. Remove as many landmarks as
possible from the old locations, and if
necessary, keep smoudering, smoking
fires burning for few hours upon the
place previously occupied by the hives.

A Gold in the Head.

The 'Family Doctor" in Houeehold
Words says The commonest type Of
cold is that called "cold in the head,
to distinguish it from "cold on the
chest The 'cold in the head" has
certain well-marked symptoms feel.
ing of general nalaise is experienced,
often accompanied by slight feverish
sickness. Then comes a sensation of
fullress in the head, there is sneezing,
a profuse flow of tears, and irritating
and copious discharge from the nose
This means that the mucus membrane
of the nose is infamed, and if this
spreads down the back of the throat,
the sufferer becomes hoarse. The way
to treat this troublesome complaint is
to take shot drink" An orange
sliced and put into large cup with a
little sugar sprinkled over it, and boil
water upon it, and then drank as hot
as possible, is both pleasant and bene-
fetal. The feet should be put into hot
water, with little mustard This foot
bath should be taken at the bedside E;
the patient should be well wrapped up,
and blanket placed across his knees,
should be drawn outside the bath, so
as to confine the steam After keeping
the feet in the water for from five to
ten minutes, the patient should lose no
time in getting to bed, where he will
probably derive great benefit from the
general feeling of warmth and from
flow of Precipitation which has be,n
induced. If possible at this stage, the
patient should remain in bed for two
days, with fire in his room, which
should be well made mp at night, SO as
to keep alight till morning But keep
ing in bed will do little good if the pa
tient persists in holding newspaper
or book to read, for thereby he is
more dangerously exposed to cold than
if he were up, dressed aud going about
as usual. The main point is to keep
thoroughly wrapped up and constantly
warm. Even an uncomfortable degree
of heat may be beneficial.

slant use by the weavers of Kircaldy,
who had it among the material of their

acid tdilute) from chemist, and then
take out the cork and inhale--through
the nostrils only, of course-the pun

use Ferrier's stuff, and find benefit
therefrom but it must be used eau
tiously, as it contains a powerful drug
-to-wit, morphia. Ten or twelve
grains of Dover's powder taken in
Cruel at bedtime is good for an adult,
but should not be administered to chill
dren, as it contains opium,w hich should
never be given to them without doc
tors prescription. To avoid an un.
pleasant eXcoration of the nose and
upper lip during the course of cold in
the head, they should be often washed
thoroughly with soap and lukewarm
water, and little vaseline should be
applied. 1t the throat feels sore, a
chlorate of potash lozenge should be
sucked occasionally.

Sagaoity of Cows.

The sagacity of cows is generally
underrated. A great deal is said OF
dogs and horses, but the ingenuity dis
played by COWS in opening bath doors,
iced boxes, and gates, and in upsetting
fences far surpasses that of any other
farm animal, and proves them to be
thinking and reasoning creatures. One
who has watched the eloquent eye of a
COW engaged in Withholding her milk
cannot fail TO be impressed with her
evident power of thought and deter
mined will. And now as a further
proof of the cows sagacity Mr.. Coles
Carpenter says one of his herd goes to
the pump when the water trough is
empty, and taking the pump handle
between her horns, pumps water into
the tub and satisfies her thirst, and will
even pump more if the supply is salts
factory. This story, perhaps, goes far
enough, if not too far, for it will GER
tainly encourage the dishonest milk
and water-men TO charge some am
bilious and vain COW with diluting her
own milk for the purpose of increasing
her record. Perhaps Mary Anne of
st. Lambert is one of those sagacious
and ambitious cows.

How to Make a Paper Pan.

recently required a dish TO silver
some paper on, and none could be OBJ
tained near where | live. | made a
dish III tue following manner: First
cut out a block of wood the exact size
and thickness of dish required. Then
take sheet of cartridge paper, paste
it with flour paste, and rub in the
paste well, letting the paper be thor
oughly soaked with it. Then place
the paper evenly on the wooden block,
turn down the edges smoothly aud
double the corners back, rubbing them
down well. Be very particular with
the first sheet, because if you get that
smooth, the rest is easy. Follow with
another sheet of cartridge paper, turn
ing the surplus or slack paper at the
corners, the opposite direction to the
last. Follow with FIVE or six sheets of
old newspaper in the same way, and
cap with another sheet of cartridge.
Put the block with the paper on into
an oven, and bake till dry. Then take
out the block and trim the edges
Paint the outside of the paper dish
with varnish. Pour some varnish in
side the dish and let it soak in, and
then pour off the surplus. Bake in the
oven again. After the varnish is hard
and dry, warm the dish until it is hot
enough to melt paratiine wax Pour
some melted paratfine into it, and till
i about till the bottom and sides are
evenly covered pour off the surplus,
md when dry you can use for toniug,
developing, or even silyering paper.
OF course the above is only recon
mended as substitute for glass OF
porcelain when the latter cannot be
readily obtained. Parailine alone NAV

Farm Notes.

An old recipe for making grating
wax, and good one, is four parts re-
sin, two parts beeswax, aud one part
tallow. Melt all together in kettle,
over moderate fire, and when well
mixed, pour into vessel of cold water
to harden. When stiff enough to han
die, grease the hands and then pull and
work the wax to the gratis in such a
way that the air shall be entirely ex-
cluded from all raw surfaces on scion
and stock. In cold weather, the wax
may need warming by working it in
the hands, or it may be melted applied
with brush. For small trees in nur-
series, we have used the wax on strips
of cloth prepared by simply dipping
the strips in melted wax. These,
wound around the stock, keep the scion
firmly in place.
When an orchard is in very bad
condition it may be greatly improved
with moderate outlay, if, after giving
it d good pruning, the land is given a
heavy dressing of ground bone and
ashes, or muriate of potash. When
ashes cannot be obtained, muriate of
potash may be made to take place.
One ton of bone aud forty bushels of
wood ashes, or 500 pounds of muriate
of potash should be applied to each
acre, spreading it broadcast on the sur
face. If the frui; be the object, when
the grass is in blossom it should be
rolled down with heavy roller, and
permitted to remain as mulch for the
trees. This not only keeps the ground
well covered but it causes the grass to
come up the next spring quite thin,
and thus the grass roots are lessened,
giving the roots of the tree better
chance to grow.
The straw from beans is a natural
food for sheep, and they are the only
stock which are fond of it. 1t is a
healthy food for them. Oat straw is a
healthy food for them Oat straw is
better for sheep than any unpalatable
hay. They will pick out all of the
leaves and heads of any kind of straw,
but they do not like the coarse straws,
and will not eat them unless fore
ed to by hunger. Straw, to be good
for sheep, should not be over-ripe, mus
ty, or full of ergot. On this account
rye is the poorest, and wheat next. To
give sheep keen appetite, no more
should be given them than they will
eat up clean. They come to a sweet
smelling and fresh rack of food with
relish.
