Successful Treatment of Garget.

Successful Treatment of Garget.
In earlier life I treated garget by a
number of methods with varied success,
pus forming in only. a few instances; but
for twenty-five years I have had no case of
suppuration of the udder from garget.
AS soon as the trouble is discovered
USUALLY but one quarter of the udder,
more correctly one of the four glands is
involved, the infamed part should be
bathed with a mixture of equal parts
of tincture of lobelia and glycerine and
kept saturated with it till fever, tender
ness and swelling subside. If pus has
been already formed, the pus sack
should be opened at its lowest point and
kept dressed with i weak solution of
phenol, thymo- cresol, or listerine.-

Dampncss in Walls,

A wall constructed of brick or stone
of any quality whatever will be subject to
the damp which exists in the soil, and
which will enter in all directions and in
all parts where the wall is in immediate
contact with the ground. This is cspc-
cially true of brick walls that arc now so
often found superscding stone in the
country; many builders claiming hard
burned brick as being better than stone
for foundations even for brick houses, as
they certainly arc very much cheaper,
and if really hard burned are practically
indestructiblc, which is more than can be
said of some kinds of stone that arc oc-
casionally put into foundation walls.
In treating this subject, the London
architect advises sub-stratum of con-
crete under =. the footings of the wall.
Afterwards as soon as the footings and
lower part of the wall are carried a
high as the level of the ground, it will
be we'll to introduce thin sheet of lead
the whole thickness of the wall, or as
thin layer of bituminous substance that
will penetrate the brick and stone and
fill the pores, or double course of thin
slate set in cement. The purpose in
each case is to prevent the wet from
rising up into the walls of the house
above ground.
AS further precaution to prevent the
access of damp from the surface of the
ground next the outside face of the wall,
facing of stone two or three feet high
and not very thick answers the purpose.
While the rain may beat against this part
of the wall so that it may become tenn
porarily damp, it will soon dry off with
out communicating dampness to the main
body of the wall.
The inside of external walls should
never have the plastering applied imme-
diately on the face, but they should al
ways be battened with long narrow strips
of wood attached by holdfasts to the in.
side face of the wall. The slips or battens
receive the laths upon which the plaster
is applied, and the space formed by the
battens between the wall and the lathing
effectually keeps out the humidity.

Suicide and Gambling Profits.

An American who has just returned
from France says that the day he visited
Monte Carlo happened to be the day on
which the annual meeting of the share
holders occurred, and that after the
meeting general gloom pervaded the en-
tire surrounding atmosphere. 1t seems
that the profit and loss account showed a
profit indeed, but profit very much
less than had been the case in preceding
years. After paying the expenses of the
establishment only 81, $500 were;left
for those who held stock IN the company.
A few years ago the profits were double
this sum. The change is owing, SO it is
said, to growing conservatism among
the gamblers, both men and women,
who frequent this famous resort. There
is just as much gambling as there ever
was, but the gambling for enormously
high stakes is not So frequent. Men
and women now wager five-franc pieces
instead of louis and bank notes. One.
interesting fact is that the suicides are
not as numerous as they used to be.
There were 10 suicides during the past
year men and women both driven to the
taking away of their own lives because
of despair over losing various divisions
of the 81, $50, 900 profits of Monte Carlo.
The previous year when the profits; were
81, 500, 900 the suicides numbered 25.
The number of suicides and the profits of
the establishment maintain a-Etio or
seem to do so from year to year. The
proportion is about one suicide o}every
$50, 900 profit to the gambling }estab-
lishment, which means, of course, cor
responding amount of loss to- the pat
rons.
A study of the Interestingly fuctuation
of these suicides to correspond with the
gambling house profits would certainly
have delighted Mr.. Buckle.-AaI and

bushel of corn made into meal and fed

bushel of corn made into meal and fed
produced 12a lbs. of pork. When fed
dry, ,shelled corn is more economical than
corn meal to feed to fattening hogs. One
bushel of corn is worth nearly three
bushels of oats as food for fattelpg
hogs. Corn-fea pigs gained about Al
lbs. per week, and ate about 81 lbs. of
corn per 100 lbs. of live weight. Pork
was produced during the cold weather,
with corn at % cents per bushel, for less
than three cents per pound. An insult
ficient food supply for two weeks caused
very considerable loss in feeding there
after. Indian corn is the most economi-
cal pork producing material during the
Winter months in regions where it is ex-
tensively grown.

A SunflOwer Hedge.

A willow hedge across the garden or on
the north side of it, is a great protec-
ton, but while waiting for this to grow
plant three or four rows of sunfowers
across the piece. When the flower
stems begin to grow drive some laths in
the row about six feet apart, bracing the
outside ones WE'LL. then stretch two or
three lengths of binder twine on each side
of the row, winding them once around
each lath, and wind some cotton twine
around the middle pair of strands be-
tween each cluster of flower stalks to
keep them from falling or being blown
down. The seed heads must be gath
cred as fast as they ripen and open
enough to show. the seed, and
spread out in cool dry place to
dry out thoroughly, when the seed
can be. rubbed or thrcshed out with q
light stick, and cleaned in a fauning mill
or winnowed out by the wind. In the
fall plow up few burrows on the south
side o. tne stalks which are left standing
through the winter; harrow and work
down fine and plant onion sets at once.
The hedge or sunfowers will catch and
hold the snow, and so protect the onions
during the winter that when the snow is
of the ground in the spring they will
start at once into growth, and furnish
the first carly green onions.-American
