Treatment of a FeIon.

Take some salt, roast it on hot
stove until all the chlorine gas is thrown
off, or it is all dry as you can make it.
Take a teaspoonful, and also tea
spoonful of Venice turpentine; mix
them well into poultice and apply to a
felon. If you have ten felons at once,
make rs many poultices. Renew the
poultice twice day. In four or five
days your felon will, if not opened be-
fore your poultice is first put on, present
a hole down to the bone where the pent-
up matter was before your poultice
brought it out. If the felon has been
cut open, or opened itself, or is about
to take off the finger to the first joint,
no matter, put on your poultice, it will
stop it right there, and in time your
finger will get we'll, even if one of the
first bones is gone. OF course it will
not restore the lost bone, but it will get
well soon.- Western PloWman.

LATE FASHIONS,

| Undiminished Popularity of Black, White
A. and Colored Grenadine Dresses.
The short-basqued bodices, with point
ed fronts and postillion backs, are worn
in materials of nearly every description.
The fashion of edging them with loops
of ribbon is still eXtant, these sometimes
falling over frill of lace. Some of the
very elegant bodices recently made have
this facc-frill bordering the plain round
basque. 1t should, however, be added
only to pointed basques, or the garni-
ture will increase the apparent size of
the hips. For stout women, simple
edge of single row of beads in Jet,
pearl or other sorts to match the color
of the bodice, is more becoming and
appropriate than the more elaborate
styles of bodice-trimming suitable to
slender forms.
Among the diminutive toy wrappings
for evening use at summer resorts are
those of English light cloth checked.

natural wool tints of gray and ecru pre-
dominate, these colors crossed by fine
lines of golden brown, olive and cardinal
The monkshood at the back is lined
with gray surah, and the edges of the
wrap are simply machine stitched. The
sleeves are lined with surah, in order to
render them easily put on or off There

whit
colored, will remain in favor, notwith-
standing the fancy for lace, canvas, and
etamine toilets. The striped, dotted and
frise grenadines are preferred to the
large spreading patterns and Spanish
and Escurial lace designs wore last
year. The frise velvet figures in small
roses, buds, and convolvuli placed close
together on silk mesh grenadines are
very affective for parts of the dress.
Beaded dress fronts are still very fash
ionably worn with black or white grcna-
dine dresses, and sometimes two OF
these tabliers are used as panels instead,
with gathered beaded lace founces
forming the trimming down the front
between these two panels. Scarfs of
beaded net are draped over the grena-
dine bodice, and sometimes the sleeves
are made to match, !. e., of the beaded
net.
The latest importation of wooden dress
goods show a myriad soft. lovely summer
shades, and, though firm and most DUR
able, are light wear. Among these are
lightweight camelettes and CLEANLINESS in
pale dove, amber, golden brown, ecru,
beige, and creamy nuns gray. The
fabrics, some of them, show double bor-
derings in raised wool, resembling en-
broidery very closely. All these goods
will be made up very simply, trimmed
with large buttons, knittings, mohair
braid, and other unassuming garnitures.

TREATMENT OF WOUNDS.


livestock.
Bleeding may be either from the ar
teries or veins. If from the arteries, it
will be bright red and come in spurts.
Seek for the artery, pull it out so that
the end may be tied tightly with a
strong thread. If the blood is dark it
is from the vein and will ordinarily do
no harm. Cold water or water and
alum, will stop it, however.
When the flesh has been cut badly
bring the edges of the wound together
with sticking plaster applied or the
edges sewn. If bone is broken place
it in NATURAL position and apply splints.
When an animal has been wounded
shows symptoms of fever, give it n dose
OF salts and little saltpeter in its drink
ing water twice day. Wash wound,
especially in warm water, with ten
per cent. solution of carbolc acid once
or twice day. If wounds become in
fected with maggots, sprinkling them
with calomel will be found to be n good
remedy. The following will be found
to be an excellent disinfectant for
wounds that need it after washing with
warm water: Creosote, one dram;
water, one quart; or the ten per cent.
solution of carbolc acid may be used.
Sprains show themselves by tender
ness, heat and swellings. Hot water
lamentations should be first applied 10
reduce inflammation. Bind tightly with
bandagcs and use the corrosive subli-
matG liniment rs counter irritant.
Instead of using hot fermentation, tho
following lotion may be used Tincture
of arnica, half-ouncc; water, one pint.
In injury to the joints the horse will
either drag the toe or describe circle
when it moves. In shoulder lameneSS
the animal will show much pain. If the
muscle by which the limb is lifted and
carried forward-the ileXor muscle-is
sprained, tswells alongits whole length
and is tender to the touch. When tho
shoulder is what is called slipped, the
muscles which held the joint are relaxed,
and whenever the horse steps, because
of the relaxation of these muscles, thu
shoulder joint slips. Treat this injury,
whenever inflammation is present, with
hot lamentations until the inflammation
subsidies, and the horse should be raised
in sling. When the muscle is wasted
90 III nhtthOgs iuD NClI hlbh
give gentle exercise and apply stimula-
ting liniment.
Rupture is protrusion of the bowels
When the bowels can be returned press
them back and apply apad. Any hard,
smooth substance may be used for pad.
Secure the pad by strong, rubber
bands. If the rupture is strangulated
it is better TO call surgeon.
In choking, the animal will make des-
perate efforts TO swallow, and there is n
cough and perhaps cold sweats. If the
obstacle can be reached it is to be pulled
out If it can not be reached give tho
animal sweet oil and work the obstacle
up and down from the outside. Somc-
times the probang must be used to push
the obstacle down into the stomach,
and this is delicate operation.
If limb of valuable horse is broken
do not kill the animal. Sling and set
the limb. If it is simple fracture re-
covery is not difficult. If the bone is
shattered there is no use in attempting
to treat it Western Rural.

WEAVING LAMBS.
They should he Separated from the Ewes
at tho Age of Four Months.


II lambs are thriving as we'll as they
ought, they need not run with tho ewes
above four months. They will be more
quiet If left in the field they are used
to, and the ewes put out of sight and
hearing.
II there are shade and water in the
field which they know where to find,
they will help themselves. Ifnot, they
ought to be driven to water every day;
and 1t is good plan to fetch them to
the stable before the sun gets very hot,
to proven. them from rambling aimless-
ly about the field, painting in the sun
shine or crowding into the fence
corners.
The lambs should have q fresh rowen
or an upland pasture, IL ono is availa-
BILE, well stocked with June grass, Red
top or some short, tender, nutritious
grass. There should be strips of forest
in IL, with shady knolls for stamping
grounds, where they may find an
abundance of dust which is SO essential
to their health during the dog days.
An old eve should be left with them
for tlock-leadcr. If they are accus-
toned during the summer to station
ary salt-trough, the task of teaching
them to eat feed will be reduced to n
trife; as they will approach the troughs
freely. A mere busting of salt should
be sprinkled on their feed for n few
days (being withheld from them other
wise); after that it may be left in guam
tity in tho trough appropriated to it, or
sprinkled on clean sod. 1t is of the
highest Importance that lambs and
yearlings should have daily access to
salt, summer and winter, at least in a
humid climate.
For safe. nutritious, healthy univer-
sally available and everywhere procur-
able feed for weaned lambs, there is
nothing which is comparable to wheat
bran. i find it profitable to enrich it
by the addition of little shorts or oil
cake meal.-Americdn AgriculturiSt.

The destruction of sheep by vagrant
ours continues TO be subject of general
complaint by farmers. And it seems
that the injury does not stop with the
actual killing of the sheep by the dogs.
Colonel +. ID. Curtis says that, accord
ing to his experience, sheep chased and
overheated are almost certain to con-
tract lung disease. The only thing to
do, he asserts, when sheep have been
thus ovcrheated, is to slaughter them rs
soon as they are cooled otf.-M T. Er-

Always be careful about using
whip on a horse you dcn't know, ad-
viscs sensible writer. See bow differ
emily horses take n whipping. They
are just like youngsters. Some will
tremble and lose their spirit; others
will become stubborn and balk;
spunky one will jump at sight of your
hands, and you might not get him back
in time enough to save n broken wagon
or head. And here is bad practice
you ought to avoid-the lighting of
those snappy parlor matches on wheel
tire. Many horse has been startled in
that way.-Iroy Times.

ItaIianize Your 5roods.

BY procuring fortified Italian
queen, it will be but few months be-
fore the whole colony will be composed
of Italian beos. The Italians are more
industrious, and can excel the common
bee in working upon some kinds of
blossoms. They are not so pugillstic
in their disposition as the common bee,
but we do not consider that an advant-
age. We are rather inclined TO believe
that a colony of good fighters will pro-
tect themselves better than will class
of non-combatants, though, as a rule,
there is an objection to quarrelsome
bees that sting on the slightest proyoca-
tion. AS soon as the hive is completely
Itallanized, other hives may be given
young queens from the old one. - Farm.

A PECULIAR SUIT.
The Unique Decision of the Iowa Supreme
Court in an Insurance Case.

The Unique Decision of the Iowa Supreme
Court in an Insurance Case.
The most important case decided was
one entitled Emma ii. Carpenter, ap-
pellant, VS.. The Centennial Life AS
sociation, on appeal from the Des
Moines circuit. The decision will at
tract wide attention, inasmuch as it is
of Importance in the matter of assess
ments by mutual life insurance COM
panies. 1t was an action IN chancery
on policy of insurance upon the life
of Henry c. Carpenter. The plaintiff,
who is Carpenters widow, prayed that
defendant may be required to make
assessments upon holders of It's policies
to pay the amount assuredupon tho life
of her deceased husband as provided
for in the policy. The company as
defense to the action alleged that when
the assured died he had made default in
the payment of an assessment, which
under condition of the policy rendered
it void The peculiar feature of the
case, which renders the decision unique,
is the fact that when the dues became
payable the plaintiffs husband was sick
with fever, unconscious, could not act
in the premises, and died in that condi-
ton. Then when the widow, after her
husbands death, rendered the dues the
company rejected the money because
the policy had lapsed. The court be-
low sustained the conpan.', and that
decision is affirmed by the Supreme
Court. - Chicago Tribune.
