Copperas dissolved in boiling water,

1t should be recognized that rest is
more than mere restorer of faded
powers, something INDUCED in only to
enable one to do more work.. 1t has n
| higher purposes to serve than this. All
our powers have a right to cultivation
and some of them cannot have it
except in quietude and contemplation.

For all kinds of young stock milk is
the best food, and it also answers we'll
for young chicks. The early ones will
be Matched in March and April, and if
| given warm quarters should be raised
without difficulty. When giving milk
to chicks let it be fresh and not too
cold. Sour milk is unsuitable for
chicks, but may be allowed to adult
fowls. The milk for chicks may be given
as drink or it may be used with other
foods. One of the best foods for chicks
that is frequently used by those who
have tried it is millet seed, which they
enjoy very much. 1t is also very
nourishing and adds to the general
variety. 4 little linseed meal in the

sibility Of bloodless surgery through
the medium OF chemical composition
called adrenalin. BY the local APP
plication of adrenalin, in solution,
operations may be performed, it is
SAID, on the nose, ear and eye without
the spilling of drop of blood. Thus

follows: Take a long bottle of pale
glass and put into it piece of phos,
phorous, the size of pea; upon this
pour pure olive oil heated to the boil
ing point, until the bottle is about
one third full and cork tightly. When
light is needed take the cork out and
allow the air to enter, subsequently
recorking: The empty space in the
bottle will then become luminous and
give quite an effective light. If it
becomes dim it can easily be revived
by uncorking the bottle for few
seconds. One bottle will last a whole
winter. Small bottles may also be pre-
pared in this way and carried in che
pocket.
Experienced growers of raspberries
claim that with good varieties and care
an acre will produce as many bushels
as it will of corn, and give five times
as much profit, as we'll as remain for
several years after the plants have
been started. Occasionally estimates
are given OF large yields and good
prices, but at the present time more
raspberries are grown than formerly,
and prices are not so high; never
theless, large number of growers do
not use sutlciency of fertilizers, and
could secure larger crops by more
iudicious cultivation.
