How to Stop Bleeding.

Some persons have tendency 10
bleed. no matter how slight the cause.
\ small cut, scratch or the extraction
of a tooth will cause protuse bleeding
and sometimes endanger life.
When from the latter cause, take a
little powdered chalk, roll 1t up IN the
form of a cork or plug, dip it III spirits
of turpentine and press it firmly into
the cavity; change it every ten or fif-
teen minutes until the bleeding is stop
ned. Let the last plug remain in over
night, and then do not pull it out, put
wash the mouth in tepid water until it
is loosened, using cold water after the
first few mOuthfuls.
Bleeding from the nose is seldom Sc
rious, except in old persons. 1t is Of
ten good in children, if not too copl-
Gus. Ifsymptoms of faintness ensue
let the person sit right up, bathe the
face aud neck with cold water, or dash
cold water in the face, or better still,
take cloth or towel, dip in cold water
and bandage the forhead and raise the
arms "a high as possible over the head
or cross them firmly behind the oack.
This action has the effect OF contract
ing the muscles of the neck and dim
inishing the rush of blood to the head.
In very obstinate cases, pinches OF
very finely powdered alum may be in
hailed. or alum water snufted up the
nostrils. Plugging the nostrils should
not be resorted to unless by a physI-
clan, for if not properly done The blood,
instead of being stopped, finds its way
TO the TOP of the throat and is swal-
lowed.

BUTTER PACKAGES.
Description of Four Kinds of Packages IN

Dissertation of Four Kinds of Packages in
General Use for Creamery Butter.
There are four kinds Of packages in
general use for creamery butter. Three
of these are made of wood; the remain
ing one is of tin
a form very commonly used Is known
as the Welsh tub, although it is made in
America. The Welsh tub is made OF
white ash and is bound with black ash
hoops. The slaves are made by machinery
and the bottom is fitted in like a barrel
head Either five or six hoops are used,
more generally 6ve If only FIVE, two are
placed at each end and one in the middle
If six are used, three are placed at each
end. The weight of the tub is eight OF
nine pounds, and it holds fifty-fve OF
sixty pounds of butter.
The tirkin is also largely used. 1t Is
made of white oak, with hickory hoops
1t is headed, top and bottom, like barrel
and is the same size at each end, belne
twelve and one-half inches in diameter al
the ends and fifteen inches in the middle.
The slaves are thirty inches long. The
frkins are very often sawed in two and
used as half frkin tubs, with white oak
covers, which are nailed on. The trlun
holds about hundred pounds of butter.
The creamery pail holds from sixty to
eighty pounds. 1t is made Of white oai
and bound with iron hoops. either gal:
vanized or not. These pals are painted
and are fitted with patent fastenings for
the ash or oak covers, and make the hand
soonest packages in the trade. They are
not popular with commission merchants,
as they are so expensive that they have to
be returned to the creameries.
Tin packages are growing in favor ano
are used by the government, but are
long way from superseding wood in the
markets, notwithstanding that they seem
to be equally as good as wood in all re-
spects and better in some. They are non
absorbent, of course, and do not flavor the
butter, while they keep it much better
Tin packages are made Of all sizes, il
cylindrical shape, and are cased and Gov
cred at the top with wood. The wooder
cover rests Oh the salt brine which lies or
the butter.

Selecting Seed Corn.

Professor Johnson, Of the Michigan
Agricultural college, has practiced the
following method of selecting seed corn
for number Of years with satisfactory
results:
When husking, the most perfect ears
are selected and sent to the drying room.
A second sorting follows, when oil ears
not up to the standard are rejected. The
corn is then tied up with wool twine in
lots Of fifty ears or more, or strung on
wire with "Smith's device for hanging up
corn" The ears are then hung up in the
drying room. The room below the drying
room is heated by coal fire, and the
chimney from this room passes through
the drying room, thus securing dry and
even temperature. First-Selection OF
perfect ears when corn is husked. Sec.
ond-A careful second selection. Third

A Year of Plenty,

Corn leads the cereals in general i'm
portance and promised abundance of the
crop. Spring wheat has not fully main
tanned it's high promise in June.
Full estimates of winter wheat cannot
yet be made, but the results of threshing
so far as known promise larger yield
than was expected early in the season.
Cotton has passed through the season
with but little injury from climatic
changes, rust or insects. Pastupage in
the main has been excellent, and in the
states and territories forming the great
pasturage belt exceptionally good.
The apple and peach crops are large, es,
pecially in states where scarcity existed
last year. It is satisfaction to know
that importations of potatoes will not be
needed, every state reporting high av'
erage. Hay is generally satisfactory,
clover standing high in quality. Their,
has been large increase in acreage OF
oats, and the crop is probably the largest
ever grown.

Flies.

When visiting friend last summer
he called my attention to curious
plan for preventing the plague of flies
in his house. The upper sash of one Of
the windows in his sitting-room being
open for ventilation, there was suspend
ed outside a piece of of common fish
ing-net. My friend told me that not a
fiy would venture to pass through it..
He has watched for an hour at time,
and seen swarms fly to within a few
inches of the net, and then after buzz
ing about little, depart. He told me
the flies would pass through the net if
there was little light-that is another
window in the opposite wall. Though
the day was very warm, ] did not see a
single fly in the room during my visit,
though elsewhere in the town they
were seen in abundance. I suppose
they imagine the net to be spiders
web, or some other trap intended for
their destruction.

A cure for Diphtheria.

The following remedy is said to be
the best known, at least it is worth
trying, for physicians seem powerless
to cope with the disease successfully.
At the first indication of diphtheria in
the throat of child, make the room
close then take tin cup and poor in
to it a quantity or tar and turpentine,
equal parts. Then hold the cup over
the fire so as to fill the room with the
fumes. The little patient, on inhailiDg
the fumes, will cough up and split out
all the membranous matter, and the
diphtheria will pass off. The fumes of
the tar and turpentine loosen the
matter in the throat, and thus afford
the relief that has baflled the skill
of fphysicians-.Scient American.

How TO See the Wind.

Take polished metallic surface OF
two feet or more, with straight edge ;
a large handsaw will answer the pur-
pose. Select windy day, weather
hot or cold, clear or cloudy, only let 1t
not rain or the air lie murky-in other
words, let the air be dry. Hold this
metallic surface at right angels to the
wind-i. e, if the wind is north, hold
your sruface east and west-and in
cline it at an eagle of As degrees, SO
that the wind, striking, glances and
flows over the edge. Now sight care
fully over the edge at some small, but
clearly defined object, and you will see
the air flow over as water flows over
q dam.

EXCELLENT KNOTS.

On the end to which the horses are
hitched use "howline" or sailors knot" I"
This is shown at A and c, A being the
knot before frightened, showing how it is
tied. 1t is hard to describe how the knot
is made, but by studying the illustration
and using a stiff string you can learn in q
few minutes. When a clevis is hooked
in the large loop at the right hand side
and pulled, it will tighten and make as
firm knot as any known. The one shown
at B is excellent for tying to the fork. 1t
is made by passing rope twice through
ring and returning the end around rope
and under both coils.

If a dish of cold water is kept in
cake box it will keep the cake fresh
and moist. The water should be re.
newed every twenty-four hours.
When tempted to bitterly resent an
injury, think of the gentle and patient
spirit of the Lord Jesus "who, when he
was reviled, reviled not again."

why and How Thread is Numbered

The question, "-Nhy is spool cotton
numbered as it is, and why are the
figures not used in regular order" is
often asked, says the Boston Journal
of Commerce. The explanation is this
The numbers on the spools express
the number oil "hanks which are re-
uuired to wind a pound. The very
finest spinning rarely exceeds 800
hanks to the pound, while in the very
coarsest there is about a half pound
in each hank. The more common
qualities, however, those from which
sewing thread is usually made, run
from ten to fifty hanks to the pound,
and the spools on which it is wound
are numbered from 10 to so in accor-
dance.

How to Tie Knots That Never Slip.

The knots here shown were originally
illustrated and described in Prairis
Farmer, where it was claimed that they
are excellent for the ends of hosting rope
and for a thousand other places, as they
are easily tied and united, and never work
loose or slip,
