CURE FOR DIPTHERIA.-Prof. l.. l.
Blake, of Kansas university, discover
ed what he believes to be a sure cure,
as we'll as sure preventive, of dipthe-
ria. He has experimental with it in a
theoretical way until he and the ply
sicians with whom he has consulted
are satisfied that it will he success.
The mixture is salt and water, about
one-half to two-thirds of salt by
weight through this is sent current
of electricity from battery. The de-
composition produces, chloride, oxy-
gen and probably ozone, all in an &C
tive state. The throat should be
swabbed or gargle used frequently.
Tests have been made sufficient to
show conclusively that the mixture is
a powerful germicide. Prof. Blake Sc
cured the dirtiest water he could get
from the sewers of Kansas City, Leav-
enworth and Lawrence, and a micro
scopic investigation showed them to be
reeking with bacteria. The water
was submitted to his Test, and the most
powerful analysis afterward failed to
discover living germ. No organic
matter of any kind remained in the
water.

WALNUT TREEs.-The tree for
which $50 was paid in cash some time
ago still stands in Catawba river up at
Bridgewater. What we wrote about
was advice to farmers and land own
ers to plant walnuts and rear walnut
trees. We took occasion to write
something on the same line about two
years ago. We say now again, poor land
can be made rich by rearing walnut
trees or it. Look under any walnut
tree and see if the soil is not rich. AS
we said, 100 trees can be planted on
each acre and the land cultivated with
profit and also benefit 10 the trees.
We said that in 20 years trees could
thus be grown which would then be
worth $75 or even more per tree. We
now say furthermore, that of the l6O
trees planted on each acre at least
100 of them should arrive at the stage
of maturity without interference to the
crops and an actual enrichment of the
soil; and also, that if the man will
study the nature of each tree as it
grows he can train them to curl and
also probably to produce a burl.-

BUYING AND SELLING Cows BY
TESTS OF THEIR MILK.-The North
Carolina experiment station proposes
a plan for buying and selling cows. 1t
is based on the yield of their milk, to-
gether with the quality of the same as
determined by tests of the milk.
The rule is to pay for the COW al the
rate of s12 per gallon of milk given
per day that is rich enough to show 81
per cent of fat. TO this price add or
subtract one dollar for every one
fourth of one per cent. of fat which is
above or below the 81 per cent. By
this rule the cow is bought entirely on
her merits. 1t is believed to be a
conservative plan and one if adopted
(or one upon similar plan) will GER
tally raise the standard of cows, and
increase their milk and butter produc-
ton, for if they cannot be sold easily
for milk COWS, they will soon be turned
over to the butcher, and a better ami
NAL be kept or willing purchaser be
found. The result cannot fail to be
beneficial to all parties.

HOW TO GET EGGS.

Do you want eggs from your hens
during the next four months? If So
observe the following hints
1st. Get the hens into healthy grow.
ing condition, shrinking if necessary,
to remove surplus fat or adding to il
poor. In the first instance, feed only
on cooked vegetables and oats or bran
in the latter give more corn.
I'd. Make the ration one rich in
egg materials. Let certain per cent
of animal food, meat scraps, meat
meal or food of this nature, be given
daily. One pint to a pail full of cook
ed food is enough.
Sd. Feed to promote health rather
than destroy, and to temper the
quantity. A wooden pailful of cook
ed vegetables, or cooked clover, with
two or more quarts of cooked
ground grain we'll worked into the
mass, is breakfast enough for 80 hens.
Reduce, rather than exceed this, the
sole object being to satisfy the claims
of hunger and promote activity. Let
the night ration be not more than one
quart of mixed grain (whole) to II
hens, be so scattered about the chaf,
leaves or, that only kernel will be
found at time. This means that the
hens will scratch busily until dark
and this it is which promotes egg
building. In the coolest weather, fill
the crops just at night with corn, fol
the same reason that you will fill the
stove with coal-to keep warm.
4th. Three or four times week feed
cooked or chopped clover with ground
grain the morning mash.
Clover, animal meat, meal or scraps
wheat, vegetables and oats, if fed as
indicated to hens having comfortable
pens, will insure steady egg produc

THE OYsTER.-Oysters are really
less digestible than commonly credit
ed to be. A raw oyster takes two
hours for digestion, and in a stew it
requires three and a half hours. AL
though extremely nutritious, it may
be ruined by overlooking in the same
way as an egg is made indigestible. If
the albuminous juices of an oyster are
hardened by two great or too long con-
tinued heat it is not fit for delicate
stomach. This is why oysters should
be cooked only until plump and the
edges are ruftied. For a delicate in
valid the hard muscle is often remov-
ed lin any case an oyster should not
be pierced with fork, but should be
handled carefully in cooking.
