Water pOulticaS.


A water poultice for the throat may
be made as follows: Take four thick
nesses of old cotton cloth, three or four
inches wide, and long enough to extend
from ear to ear. Dip it in water, hot
or cold, as the throat may require it.
Over these folds of cotton cloth apply a
layer of cotton batting, an inch in thick
ness, and long and vide enough to COW
er the cotton cloth. Over this place a
strip OF waterproof cloth or oil silk.
Apply to the throat, and keep in place
by d bandago. This poultice, if cold,
will induce local sweating, that will
relieve the mucous membrane, OF inner
lining of the throat. When nearly ury
wiring the four folds of cotton cloth
again in ccld water, and repeat the APP
plleatlon for two or four nights, if nee
essary. It may he wise to keep chill
dren who are thus treated within the
house for fcw days; but if they must
go ont Oh the following morning,
wash the throat with cold water
just before the patient leaves the
house. The water poultice should be
cold in all cases in which Inflammation
may exist, but should be hot if ulcera-
ton or suppuration exists. A sore
throat needs cold water, but suppura-
ton needs hot, as the diseased throat
of Iii phtherla, or scarlatina in assesses.
A sponge poultice has some advantages
above all others, and is made as follows !:
Make flannel bag three inches wide,
and as long as any given affection re-
quires. Fill this bag with very small
bits Of SPONGE: then soak in hot or
cold water, as the case may need.
Cover the outside with layers of cotton
batting, and over this some waterproof Of
material. This poultice is elastic, and
may be kept constantly near the skin,
and will keep the throat at uniform
temperatures very important point
in diphtheria and scarlatina and all
other maladies in which suppuration
exists. Cold sponge poultjces may be
applied in the early stages of scarlatina
and diphtherita, to lesson the tendency
to inflammation. Halls Journal of
Health.

Farm Notes.

". M. Singerly, the prosperous
owner and editor Of the Philadelphia
Record, cultivates COW. which gives
eignty-one pounds Of milk day.
Jere Allis Of Isinours, Mimi, writes
the Breeders Gazetta that his herd OF
Holsteins came through the winter in
excellent form. Since last June, 1884,
Mr.. Allis' COW Fatanitza, (2,723), not
yet six years old, has given IL, lO4
pounds of milk. sShe is now milking
forty pounds a day.
Mr.. Charles H. Erwin, Painted Post,
N. Y, is credited with the accidental
discovery of what his successful expert
ence leads him to regard as a Remedy
for Cabbage Worms-nanely sprink-
ling them during the heat of sunny
day with water as near ice cold as can be
procured. This caused the green pests
to "let go, curl up, roll to the ground
and die, " while the plants looked all the
fresher for the application.
In setting out raspberry plants do not
bury too deeply; red varieties as rule
are more particular in this respect than
the blackcaps, but care must be taken
with all kinds. Do not delay the oper-
alton until growth, begins as In such
cases the plants that if not killed out
right linger along very unsatisfactory,
and an entire season is lost in conse-
quence. Touch the novelties lightly,
and let the main crop consist Of such
sterling kinds as Cuthbert for red,
Gregg for black, and perhaps Shaffer's
Colossal for purple.
Pythagoras forbade his disciples eat
ing beans, the ancient historian tells
us, Not so restrictive as to regimen,
however, are some Of the gastronomic
reformers of modern times. Halls
Journal of Health advocates their more
general use, as being more wholesome,
nutritious and economical than any
other single article Of food in the world,
and says "a quart Of beans, costing 10
cents, will furnish family Of five per-
sons with food for day" Concerning
tastes there should be no disputing.
But we do hope, our esteemed cotem-
porary viii not say any thing more about
that just now. Those beans are al
ready being served on many tables,
three or four times a week, and there
may be too much economy practiced in
this particular. IS
