DR.. Gleason asserts that the best
remedy for bleeding at the nose is the
vigorous motion of the jaws, as in the
act of chewing. In the case of child,
wad of paper should be inserted in
the mouth and the child instructed to
chew it hard. The motion of the jaws
stops the flow of blood. = Western

their peculiarities. which few possess,
to prune apple and pear trees proper

for one variety would be ruinous tc
others.--N 7. Herald.

Thorough culture enables us to raise
more and better vegetables on small
lot than could be had from double the

The location of maple tree has
much to do with the increase or de-
crease not only in the quantity but in
the quality of its sap Trees standing
on low land, moist and having black,
mucky and rich soil, will run large
amount Of watery sap, having less than
two per cent. of sugar, and that OF dark
quality. On the other hand, trees
standing on high, dry and ledgy ground
will yield very sweet sap, having three
or four per cent. of sugar in it, and
will make a very white product. Troy

The Indiana Farmer would add
the garden to woman's work. 1t says
that the wives and daughters of farm
ers have work enough to do without
taking part in the tilling of the soil,
with their general household duties,
the milk to take charge of, and the
care of the fowls. Still it is likely that
the women on most farms would de-
rive benefit by tending flower, vege-
table and fruit garden. 1t furnishes a
change of occupation, and creates q
necessity for exercise in the open air
and sunshine.
