ACCIDENTS ON THE FARM.

While it is as desirable to employ a
veterinary surgeon in cases of severe
sickness or dangerous injuries as it is
to employ the family physician at
times, it is we'll 10 know what to do in
emergency cases." when something
must be done in less time than it
would take to get the regular doctor
to the spot, says a correspondent of
the American Cultivator.
One of these cases is that of chok-
ing, which frequently happens when
roots are fed without having been cut.
If the obstruction is not large and has
passed we'll down, it is often possible
to move it further along by gently
pushing down with a stick. A whip
handle rounded little at the end is a
good instrument for this purpose.
One person should hold the animals
head, SO rs to bring the mouth and
throat in q straight line, and another
should use the stick, and at the same
time work upon the obstruction from
the outside, rubbing it downward.
Push firmly but gently on the stick.
Another method is to put q stick
about as large as ones wrist across the
animals mouth like a bride bit, and
tie it fast so as to obige it to keep the
mouth open. This will sometimes
cause coughing, so that the obstruc-
tion will be thrown up, or will fscili-
tate breathing until mucous enough
has gathered around it SO that it will
pass downward. II the obstruction is
not far down, the animals mouth may
be kept open by q horseshoe or by
blocks between the jaws, and one with
small hand can reach down and
withdraw it. Unless something is
done soon the animal must choke to
death, and time is of more Importance
than skill
Cuts that produce profuse bleeding
are another sort of cases that need at
tenticn before a surgeon can be Sc.
cured. If the blood comes in jets at
about the interval of heart beat it is
from an artery, and q tight bandage
between the wound and body should
be applied, then a stout stick placed
below and twisted until the blood
flows but slowly. If the one who puts
it on knows enough of the course of
the arteries to bring the knot directly
over it it will hasten matters, and this
should be part of the education of a
farmer.
If the blood flows in a continuous
stream put a wide bandage directly
over the wound to keep the edges to-
gether, drawing it tightly as can be
done with the hands. A handful oi
cotton, or even of green grass, under
the edges will assist, or one may hold
the edges together while another goes
for doctor. We have seen a horses
life saved in this way when the leg
was badly cut by the moving ma
chine, and mans life saved by the
first method when bullet had cut the
artery of the arm above the elbow.
In neither case could q surgeon have
been brought in season. .-Coleman's 4

Virtues of Salt.

Common salt is one of the mosI
valuable remedial agents the world
contains. Used as a tooth powder,
alone or with little prepared chalk,
it whitens the teeth and makes the
gums hard and rosy. 1t is good gar.
gle for sore throat, and if taken in
time will benefit, if not cure diphther.
ia. 1t will stop bleeding of the
mouth, and in warm water is good
emetic and remedy against several
poisons. There is nothing better fol
sore feet and hands than salt and
water, and for ordinary sore eyes
though painful operation, will often
effect complete cure. Indianapolis

BUSINESS METHODS IN FARMING.

Every crop planted on the farm,
every animal bought and every man
hired is an investment, involving
sound business judgment, in both the
planning and the management, to in
sure profitable outcome. Too often
crops are planted, or stock raised,
simply because other farmers raise
them, without regard to the cost, the
market or the adaptability to the par
ticular farm and its equipmentNW When
planted, no account is kept of the ex-
pense, and not even an estimate Is
made of the cost, but the crop is sold
as soon as harvested for what it will
bring and the crop repeated the next
season. While 1t would sometimes
cost more than the crops were worth
to keep a detailed set of accounts
with each crop, still a simple business
like set of farm accounts will furnish
the data whereby the prohtableness of
particular crops, or stock, may be
closely estimated, and thus furnish n
safer basis than guess-work for the
abandonment of the crop, or for
changing its treatment. Many parts
of the estimates made for one year or
field would answer for other years
and fields. Whether accounts are
kept with particular ie ds or crops on
not, there should be an account
opened with the farm, and others with
household and personal expenses. By
taking stock each year it can be de-
terminad whether the farm has beer
profitable; whether the improvements
have exceeded the repairs; whether
personal pleasures have been too ex
travagant, and whether the household
department has been economically
carried on. OF course there should b,
an account for every person with whom
a credit business is transacted, fol
everyone admits that memory utterly

LEaHoRNs THAT SIT.

The Leghorn is a non-sitter, but the
sitting propensity is not entirely lost,
as Leghorns will sit if they are too
closely confined and are fed too highly.
We have known them to make the best
of sitters and mothers, and they are
also somewhat pugnacious, defending
their young bravely against all enc
mics. When n Leghorn becomes broody
she must not be condemned because
she is inclined to bring off q lot of
chicks, for she is not at fault, rs the
conditions of management govern the
matter,-Farm and Fireside.

The Virot bow, either made of wide
ribbon or bins silk, is always placed
against the back of the hat, with the
jet or rhine stone buckle that confines
1t resting its edge on the hair. II re-
quires an almost inimitable dizziness
and surety of touch to make this
Frenchy little bow. The fashionable
ribbon is watered. It requires about
a yard to make stylish Virot bow.
The ends of the ribbon should be
sewed together into four loops, two on
either side; the upper ones should be
n triAe longer than the lower ones. To
tie these together the loops nre held
firmly in the fingers and the left ones
are turned over the right ones, form
ing knot in the center, which is
either fastened with buckle or with
ornamental stick pins. A frontal
bunch of flowers or low buckle of
rhine stones is usually 80 placed in
front OF the hat as to preserve the ar
tistic balance when the Virot bow
spreads its silken sails at the back. By
the way, this pointed effect of the loops
is acquired by drawing the lower edge
of each loop tighter than the upper.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
POLISHING srKE1 AND DRAss,

Fine emery paper and sweet oil are
all that are necessary TO keep steel
bright; while q cloth saturated in kerr
osene and dipped in whiting will be
found best for cleaning tinware.
Strong ammonia should be poured over
old brass to clean it, then thoroughly
scrub with scrubbing brush, and
presently the brass will shine like new
metal. Stair rods should be cleaned
with soft wooden cloth dipped in
water, and then in finely sifted coal
ashes. Then rub them with q dry
flannel until they shine and every
particle of ash has disappeared.

TO STIR OR TO BEAT.

Every young housekeeper should
thoroughly understand the difference
between stirring and beating. Many
dishes are spoiled because these
things are not clearly understood. In
stirring the object is to combine the
ingredients or to make substance
smooth. The spoon is kept rather
close to the bottom and sides of the
bowl and is worked around and aroun
in the mixture until the object is at.
tanned.
Beating is employed for two pur-
poses: First, to break up a substance,
as in beating eggs for breading or for
custards; second, for making a sub
stance light by imprisoning air in it.
This is the case when we beat the
whites of eggs, cake batter, etc. The
movement is very different from stir
ring. The spoon or whisk at every
stroke is partially lifted from the
bowl and brings with it portion OF
the materials that are being beaten,
which carries air with it in fallin 2
back.
1t is not the number of strokes that
make substances light, but rather the
vigor and rapidity with which the
beating is done. When using a spoon
or whisk for beating take long up
ward strokes, the more rapid the bet
ter. The spoon should touch the bot
tom of the bowl each time and the mo-
tion must be regular.
Another way to beat is to use the
circular motion, in case the side of the
spoon is kept close to the side of the
bowl. The spoon is moved rapidly in
circle, carrying with it portion OF
the ingredients. New York World.

10 MAKE A PERMANENT PASTURE.

It is very doubtful if it will pay any
farmer to spend the needed money to
make permanent pasture, such as we
read of being kept up in European
countries, unless the land is to be irri-
gated, when the work may be done
with ease. Otherwise one of our hot,
dry spells in summer may so injure
the grass as to ruin the meadow. The
work, however, is done as follows {;
The land is first summer fsllowed, to
get rid OF weeds; then richly manured
and fertilized; then reduced to the
finest tilth by repeated plowings and
harrowings; then sown with such n
variety of grasses as will renew them
selves as far as possible without seed
ing, these kinds being those with
spreading roots mostly. The bulk of
the grass is Kentucky blue, meadow
fescue, red fescue, fowl meadow, red
top, ost and rye grasses, of each about
twenty pounds. This seeding makes
o thick growth, and the well-prepared
soil soon has thick sod on it. Then
this is preserved by frequent fertiliz-
ing, moderate grazing, and fresh seed
occasionally.-New York Times.

CULTIVATION AS FERTILIZER FOR WHEAT

CULTIVATION AS FERTILIZER FOR WHEAT.
Experiments in wheat culture
through five years, at the New York
Cornell University Station by /. p.
Roberts, indicate that on strong or
clayey lands it is often more economi-
cal to secure available plant food by
extra culture than by the purchase of
fertility. In many strong wheat soils
there is more plant food than the
variety of wheat grown can utilize,
though enough may not be available
to produce a maximum crop. In
changeable climates the wheat plant
is so handicapped at times for want
of suitable climate conditions, that it
is unable to appropriate much of the
available plant food in the soil, and
hence is not often benefited by ad-
ditional nourishment The wheat
crops in the experiments proved un-
able to elaborate more food than the
amount furnished by the soil under
Sthe superior culture given some of the
plats The fitting of the land for most
crops is done SO badly that under cer-
tain conditions even moderate
amount of manure or fertilizers may
not only fail to increase the Weld, but
may be positively harmful to the
wheat crop to which they are applied.
