SIMPLE REMEDIES.

| How to Treat q Large Number of Lesser
Ailments.
For sore throat cut slices of fat,
boneless bacon, pepper thickly and tie
around the throat with flannel cloth.
When stung by bee or wasp, make
a paste of common earth and water,
put on the place at once and cover with
cloth. For a cold on the chest a
flannel rag wrung out in boiling water
and sprinkled with turpentine, laid on
the chest gives the greatest relief
When felon first begins to make its
appearance take a lemon, cut off one
end. put the finger in, and the longer
it is kept there the better. For a
cough, boil one ounce of fiaxseed in a
pint of water, strain and add a little
honey, one ounce of rock candy and
the juice of three lemons; mix
and boil well. Drink as hot
as possible. Often after cook
ing meal, a person will feel
tired and have no appetite. F or this
beat n raw egg until light, stir in
little milk and sugar and season
with nutmeg. Drink half an hour be-
fore eating. For q burn or scald
make paste of common baking soda
and water, apply at once and cover
with a linen cloth. When the skin is
broken apply the white of an egg
with feather; this gives instant re-
lief as it keeps the air from the flesh.
AT the first signs of runround, take
cup Of wood ashes, put in pan
with quart of cold water, put the
pan on the stove, put your finger in
the pan. keep it there until the water
begins to boil. or as long as it can be
borne. Repeat once or twice if neces-
sary. - Good Housekeeping.

A FalIacIous Argument.

''If any one doesn't believe that a
ration rich in fat will produce milk
rich in butter fats let him feed his cows
two OR three pounds of cotton-seed
meal apiece every day and note how
his butter will increase from this oily
food" This is the upshot of an al
legged argument to show that the fats
in milk come from the fats or oils in
the food consumed by cows. The so-
called argument is the same in value
as would be the reasoning of man,
who lived on bread and butter, if he
attributed the main value of his food
to the butter and left the bread out
of account. Cotton-sced meal add
ed to a ration poor in
protein will increase the milk
yield and the butter product. But
why not give the credit of the increase
to the protein or nitrogenous elements
of the meal instead of the oil.
If it is the oil that does the business,
why not feed the oil straight instead
of pressing it out and feeding the res
idue? The fats in feed may help to
make the fats in milk. But normal
milk can be produced without feeding
any fat whatever Experiments with
carnivorous animals fed on a pure
lean meat diet show that better fats
may be made from albuminoids. And
COWS often give milk which contains
more fat than the entire amount in
their ration. n.-PHiLadelphid Press.

a Poor vestmen Mt.

A dairy cow that is not a hearty
eater is poor piece of property, and
she won't pay for what she does eat
And yet there are some false econo-
mists who believe that the ''easy
kept cow is most profitable, because
the feed bills are less. In this the cow
may be compared with the steam en-
gine; to produce the required press
ure of steam, a ceBtain amount of fuel
is necessary, and without this the
whole is wasted. The COW is ma
chine for converting food into milk,
and the profits from her work are in
proportion to her digestive and as
similating powers. Something can not
come out of nothing. Farmers Home

Resuscitating the Frozen.

Some recent experiments on the re.
suscitation of the frozen upset the pop
ular theory and practice of treatment.
Even the medical profession, as rule,
teaches that frozen persons should be
restored very gradually, and that the
temperature of the room and applica-
tions should be quite low at first.
Prof Laptschinski froze sixty dogs
into a condition of completely sus-
pended animation; twenty of these
were treated by the usual method Of
gradual resuscitation in cold room,
and OF these fourteen perished; twenty
were treated in warm apartment.
and eight of these died; while of the
remaining twenty, which were put at
once in q hot bath, all recovered. -

EARLY TOMATOES.
An Experienced Market-Gardener Tells
How to Produce Them.


In looking over your paper I see
many interesting articles ON variety
of horticultural subjects have been
in the market-gardening business for
some years, and am greatly interested
IN any improved methods of carrying
it on. There is one plan for getting
tomatoes into market early that have
never seen published. and I thought
would give it to your readers, if you
care 10 print it. 1t is not exactly new
way. either, but is a great improve
ment on the old way with pots. 1t is
this: When going home from the city
market during the summer, general
ly drive out an alley, and can almost
always pick up q wagon-load of tin
cans before get out of town, mostly
are packed. These throw down in
some out-of- they way place until have
gathered together as many as | need.
During the winter, when not very
busy, we build fire between two
logs, and when we have good bed
of Goals throw on bushel OF so of
cans. In an incredibly short time the
tops and bottoms drop off and the
sides pop open, and with long stick
we toss them out. The operation is
then repeated, and so on till all the
cans are open. Some fine broom wire
is then procured and cut with nippers
into pieces just long enough so that
when the ends are hooked and fast
ened together they will each make a
loop of the proper size to cover a can.
The sides of the can should be Tapped
about three quarters of an inch. The
natural spring of the can will hold
the wire on. The cans are all pre-
pared, in the same way and stored in
some old shed till wanted in the
spring. About three months before it
is safe to set plants in the open ground
we make hot-bed and sow the seed.
In about six weeks the plants will be
three OF four inches high. when :,
milder hot-bed is made and the
cans set in as thick as they
will stand and filled with rich soil.
Into each of these cans one plant is
set and allowed to grow four or five
weeks until they begin to crowd,
when they should be separated so as
to have plenty of room and let stand |
until safe to plant out. When the
ground is marked Oft take a spade
and throw out spadeful of soil where
each plant is to grow If little
bone dust or other fertilizer is mixed
in all the better
Now lift the plant, can, soil and all,
and set in boxes convenient to handle.
haul to the field, set can and all into
he hole so that when the soil is drawn
in The surface will be about an inch
higher than the can. Cut the wire
with nipper and Lift off the can; this
will leave the roots absolutely undis-
turbed. Hoe in the soil and the work
is done. Plants so set will never wilt.
1t is a good plan to wet the roots we'll
before lifting from the bed. In this

however, on the seed you sow.-Cor.

An Ounce of Prevention.

Heavy fowls, either young or old. Of
either sex, are liable to injure their
hook joints by jumping from high
perches. To prevent it, put the roosts
nearer the floor, or else provide steps
for the fowls to come down on. To
cure. shut the fowl away from the 9TH

it a bed OF hay or straw. feed and wa

arms, how his friends cheered him on his re-
appearance IN the House of Commons, and
how the English press has expressed its just
sense of obligation to an envoy who has won,
for so it is considered here, a diplomatic vic
tory for his own country. Yesterday news
got abroad OF another of Mr.. Chamberlain's
successes, the agreement for the suppression
of crimping in American ports. This, how
every, appears to involve no question OF tri-
umph for either side, but is business ar

How a BIddeford Man Succeeded In
Committing Suicide.

BIDDEFoRD, March 26.-John Curtis. a
fisherman of Biddeford Pool was the princi-
pal in tragedy this morning which has
thrown lower Biddeford into a state of great
excitement. Curtis and his wife have been
engaged in domestic trouble off and on for a
number of years. A short time ago the wife,
in whose name the family bank account was
dept, withdrew the deposits amounting to
over $1,000 and went to live with the family
of Thomas Davis, her brother-in-law, at the
same time filing an application of divorce.
Curtis has made many threats against his
wife and has made repeated attempts to get
her back home.
Early this morning he went to the house
where his wife was stopping, kicked in the
door and made an attempt to get hold of her,
but the brother-in-law interfered Curtis
then ran short distance to the house Of
Orrin Mason, took rope from his pocket
climbed tree and tried to hang himself,
but was cut down by Mason before life was
extinct. As soon as he recovered conscious
ness he went to the house of Nahum Tarbox,
another neighbor, procured rope, hung
himself from tree and strangled to death
before help arrived.
Curtis was abou. As years old. He had
been hard working man and owned prop
erty amounting to about $4,000. His wife
was his own cousin. Three children are liv-
ing. Coroner Warren was summoned.
