Water Poul.iceS.

A water poulsice 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 q
layer of cotton batting, AZ inch in thick
ness, and long and wide enough to COW
er the cotton cloth. Over this place a
strip or waterproof cloth or oil-silk.
Apply to the throat, and keep in place
by a bandage. This poultice, if cold.
will induce a local sweating, that will
relieve the mucous membrane, or inner
lining of the throat. When nearly dry
wiring the four folds of cotton cloth

plicatlon for two OF iour nights. if nee
essarv. 1t may be wise to keep chill
dren who ale thus treated within the
house ior a tow days; but if they must
go out on 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 diphtheria, or scarlatina in assesses.
A sponge pouitice has some advantages
above all others, and is made as follows:
Make a 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
material. This poultice is elastic, and
may be kept constantly near the skin,
and will keep the throat at a uniform

other maladies in which suppuration
exists. Cold sponge poultices may be
applied in the early stages of scarlatina
and diphtheria, to lesson the tendency

The Deadly Stop Drain.

From a country house notable for
general neatness Il hired girl was taken
home ill of typhoid. Then a hired man
left and had a run of "s!ow fever; af.
forwards a little girl "came down" with
the anne disease. Soon the mother was
dangerously sick, and finally "aggrayat-
ed erysipelas broke out in the face of
the kitchen servant" Here was q series
of zymotic attacks. Why? A Maine
Farmer correspondent answers, with q
statement that eliminates the mystery
of the dispensation:
"The only thing in this household
which seemed to be at fault was the dis
posal of the kitchen slops. They were
carried from the sink outside the house
through a leaden pipe, and this
discharged into the end of Il bored
aqueduct log, buried in the earth
and extending about a rod from the
house. This short log -drain would soon
be INSTRUCTED, and then the end next
the house would discharge its danger
ous contents into the loose stones which
and thence under the house and into
the cellar; and the same leaden pipe
which carried the water downward,
brought the sickening gases upward"
One "better way, "safe, if not SO "con-
%venient," is by use of s%lop-pGils kept
clean and the contents distributed over
the surface soil at various points some
distance from the house. An enlarge
ment of this simple and satisfactory
system is favorably mentioned by the
Iowa Board of Health

The Treating" Custom.

and therefore liquor-tight, and would
require ingenuity to evade it, which
when possessed can be employed tc
better advantage than in law breaking.
The first section of the act makes it
unlawful to treat or be treated, and fix.
es the penalty for its infraction. The
other sections constitute any attempt
ed evasion of the law d greater offence
than its open violation and attach still
more severe penalties for practising chi
canerv or subterfuge. The fines when
collected go to the school fund of the
county in which the offence is commit

law is founded on the principle that
treating is a vice, rather than that
drinking is a pernicious habit. Liquor
selling is licensed, and therefore law

buy and pay for all the liquor he wants
to drink himself, but he is not per-

The theory is that under this regula-

wants, and in nearly all cases will 90

Farm Notes.

W. M. Singerly, the prosperous
owner and editor of the Philadelphia
Record, cultivates a COW which gives
eignty-one pounds of milk q 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, G ,723), not
yet six years old, has given II, 1O4
pounds of milk. She 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-namely, sprink-
ling them during the heat of a 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
fresber for the application.
In setting out raspberry plants do not
bury too deeply; red varieties as a 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 a family of five per-
sons with food fer day" Concerning
tastes there should be nc disputing.
But we do hope our esteemed cotem-
porary will not say anything 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.

State like Iowa there ought to be nc
such thing as credit at the store for the
farmer. There is no class of men the
merchant can credit more safely. What
we mean is, the farmer should not
ask it; in fact he can not afford to ask
it. For credit means a higher price.

risk, and the good farmer who asks
credit simply asks to share the losses

And swings It's rosy censor mid the pines.

Lets In faint glimpses OF the sky's blue roof;

Fall tangled in the brown eatth's dusky wool.
And mark its scattered silver on the moss;

A flmy sail for idle winds to toss.

Where incense floats from every budding

And like some distant signing Of the seas,

All fesset things my soul would e'er forsake
To llnper here, where such enchantment

To feel the soft air blow upon my face;

Hath never known life's one supremest grace.
