tendency to diarrhna; otherwise diIutiug
with boiled water is all that is necessary.
The duration of the infection stages Of
various diseases is thus given by Dr. T. f.
Poarce, an English physician: Measles,
from the second day of the disease for
three weeks; smallpox, from the first day
for four weeks; scarlet fever, from the
fourth day for seven weeks; humps, from
the second day for three weeks; diphtheria,
from the first day for three weeks. The in
cubation periods, or intervals occurring be-
tween exposure TO infection and the first
symptoms are as follows: Whooping cough,
Ii days; humps, Is days; measles, 10 days
smallpox, IL days; scarlet fever, 8 days;
diphtheria, "A days.
In P,'oqrcS Medical Prof Adamkiewicz
claims to have obtained remarkable results
from the combined action of chloroform and
the constant electric current in facial and
other forms of neuralgia. The clectrode is
made of hollow charcoal, into which the
chloroform is introduced, and from which
the current sends it into the tissues That
this power Of penetration may DO thus OBJ
tained is thought to be shown i'll the fact
that when chloroform is colored with gent
ian violet and applied as described to the
ear Of a rabbit, tho tissue becomes dyed
In the human subject the action of the con
slant current and theschloroform produced
a burning sensation, followed by local an
8Sthesia, except where the nerves had been
deep-Seated, as in scistlca.

Hard and Soft water in Cooking

The Florida Agriculturtst says that all
cooks do not understood the different effect
produced by hard and soft water in cook
ing meat and vegetables. Peas and beans
cooked in hard water, containing lime or
gypsum, will not boil tender because these
substances harden vegetable caseine. Many
vegetables, as onions, boil nearly tasteless
in soft water, be, ause all flavor is boiled
out. The addition of salt often checks this,
rs in the case of onions, causing the vege-
tables to retain the peculiar havoring prin-
cipes, besides such nutritious matter as
might be lost in soft water. For extracting
the Juice Of the meat 10 mako broth or
soup, soft water, unsalted and cold at first,
is the best, for it much more readily pene-
trates tho tissue; but for boiling where the
Juices should be retained, hard water or soft
water sailed is preferable, and the meat
should be put in while the water is boiling
so as to seal up the pores at once.

Getting the Most From Farm CroE

Getting the Most From Farm Crops.
Our people, says the Southern. CoLtirutor,
do not seem to appreciate the fact that the
conversion of all available material derived
from the soil into the more valuable and
compact animal products without the in
PREVENTION of so much costly human labor
constitutes most important factor in de-
termining the question of success or fail
ure They do not sufficiently appreciate
the fact that nearly all of the nitrogen of
the food consumed by a grown animal and
all of the phosphoric acid and potash con-
tanned in the food are excreted in the solid
and liquid manure. One of the most cul-
pable wastes of which any people were ever
guilty is that of applying cotton seed and
cotton seed meal as manure without first
running them through the animal machine
Both are most valuable feed-stuffs which
would be equally valuable as manure after
passing through the animal if the solid and
liquid excreta were saved. Lawes estimates
the value of the manure from ton of cot
ton seed meal at $27 in England The meal
costs us here much less than that. 1t is
true that it is not now practicable to feed
the entire product of cotton seed in the
South because there are not enough stock
to consume them.
On many Southern plantations enough
peas, potatoes and small grain is wasted to
produce, if consumed by swine, enough
bacon for the family of the proprietor, and
enough hay dries in the fields, if harvest ted
and fed in connection with cotton seed, to
produce more value in beef and milk than
the cotton crop on the plantation will bring
after paying cost of production Of the lat
ter. We fail to utilize the very forces Of
nature which do our bidding most willingly
and profltably. So true is this that the
measure of success of the soil in the South
may be very accurately gagged by the at
tention given to stockbreeding. Stock on
the farm often utilize with profit vegetable
growth which would, unconsumed, not only
remain without profit, but prove positive
injury. The most prosperous farmers are
those who avail themselves of the animal
factory to the fullest extent, and while the
"cottontott" is wearing out his land the
stock farmer is annually and rapidly i'm
proving his. The introduction of thor
oughbred males all over the South would
in two years double the value Of live stock
in that section.
A Merino buck introduced to q flock of
native owes will raise the wool product in
the offspring from two and half to five
pounds per annum and capita. A short
horn bull will add 200 pounds to the two
year-old bullocks.

New York, and see the merchants opening
their barrels and cases. On the sidewalk,
ana even in the buildings, are women who
have come to buy cracked eggs Very few
men engage i'll this business; the women
are much shrewder and. with q covered
wooden pail i'll hand, they watch the cracked
eggs being taken out. They ouy them up
and resell them to the bakers. No bad eggs
can be- palmed off on these women; the
cracked egg must be completely broken
and emptied before they accept It on their
count. Many small stores also buy cracked
eggs, and these are purchased in small
quantities by boarding-house keepers who
delight in me-made pastry on tho table
But the rotten eggs1 What becomes Of

the scows and dumped with the city refuse

leather. So necessary have they become
for the leather process that the demand is
frequently greater than the supply.
In the crowded state of Now York it is
almost matter of imposSibility for board
lng-house keepers to supply their patrons
with fresh eggs all the year round Unless
persons can keep their own hens fresh eggs
must, with them, be at discount. The
hen is willful bird, subject to all the ca
prices of her sex, and so long as her nature
prompts her to do most of her laying dur
ing the milder portion of the year so long
will the necessities of the case require that
portion of her product shall be kept from
the period of plenty to relieve the period
of scarcity. This question of preserving
eggs has excited attention for centuries and
millions of dollars have been lost in trying
to attain perfection. Tho lining process
was discovered little more than 100 wears
ago, and an excellent method it is, but such
eggs are easily detected, and while preju-
dice exists against them they can seldom
be foisted as fresh.
The later invention of refrigerating con-
sists in holding eggs in proper packages in
a cool temperature so that they will not
grow old too fast The temperature is
generally from IS to 49,, in which they are
often kept from three to six months. But
these ice-house eggs are usually found to
be risky. They come into the market early
in the fall, just when trade is picking up
and prices advancing. They work off rap
idly at first but the regular egg eater soon
discovers that there is something wrong
and they are incontinently dropped. The
worst of this kind comes from Canada,
where they are packed in oat hulls
