DOMESTIC.
MEDICINES — We are a medictne-taking
people—at least to far too great au extent.
"Wbat shall I take?" is asked far more
often than "What shall I do?" Tne aged
and experienced among medical men, as a
rale, recommend but Jit tie—and that only
when indicated by common sense. But
the people will take it —buying it from
peddlers, horse-jockeys, grocers, etc.,alt as
ignorant of the nature of the remedies aud
of diseases as themselves. In most
instancis, when feverish, if one would
bathe, sweat, fast, breatne more of the
pure air of heaven, bask iu the sun, driuk
freely of pure water, keep calui aud quiet,
give up tobacco aud whisky, the fever
would itarve. Pure air renovates the
blood far more than sarsaparills; the light
of the suu ts one of the best anodyne*;
good fcOd is one of the best tonics; last
ing and exercise are auioug the best ap
pellors. if we will but take care of our
selves, eat only plain food aud ouly what
nature demauds, cease to overwork aud
fret, be regular iu all our habits aud
sleep all we can fairly, we shall take less
medicine.
CONSTIPATION* may be removed by drink
ing a tumbler of oold-water on rising iu
the morning.
To OBTAIN* a eood night's sleep, sponge
the entire length of the spine with hot
water for teu or fifteen minutes.
FOR chapped skin, take of oxide of zinc,
one dram; lard, two ounces. It is also
good for any kind of sores.
FOB neuralgia, take a good li&ndtul of
the common field or Canada thistle. Pour
two quarts of boiling water ou, and boil
down to three pints; take a wiueglass
full three limes a day before meals.
The following is recommended as a
cure for neuralgic headache: Squeeze the
juice of a lemon into a small cup ot strong
coffee. This will usually afford iuune
diate relief in ueuralgic headache. Tea
ordinary increases neuralgic pain, aiui
ought not be used by persons afflicted with
it.
GLYCERINE IN FLATULENCY AND ACIDITY.
—Au old gentleman, who for many years
suffered from distressing acidity, read iu a
daily paper that glycerine added tou ilk
prevents Us souring, aud he reasoned thus:
"If glycerine prevents milk turning sour,
why should it not t prevent me turning
sour?" and he resolved to try the efficacy
of glycerine for his acidity. The success
of his experiment was complete, and when
ever tormented by his old malady he cures
himself by a recourse to glycerine. In
deed, he can now take articles of food from
which he was previously compelled to ab
stain, provided always 'hat he takes a dram
of glycerine immediately before, with, or
directly afier his food. Since this was
made public sevi ral physicians have pre
scribed glycerine in acidity and flatulency
with the most happy results.
BEDS.— Our beds are our night clothes
and ought to be kept as clean as our
shirts and coats. Woolen blaukets are
healthier than quilts; put a heavy United
States army tdauket over a kettle full of
hot water and see how fast the steam
makes its way though the weft; a quilt
would stop it like an iron I'd, and thus
tend to check the exhalations of the human
body In order to disinfect a quilt you
have first to loosen the pressed cotton; a
wooleD blanket can be steamed and dried
in a couple of hours. Fur similar reason
a straw tick is better than a hor.-ehair
mattress, though a woven-wire mattress
is perhaps preferable to both. Feather
beds are a recognized nuisance. Children
over 10 years should sleep alone, or at
least under separate blaukets, if the bed
steads do not reach around.
To fix pencil marks so as they will not
rub out, take well skimmed milk and
dilute with an equal bulk of water.
Wash the pencil marks (whether wriiiDe
or drawing) with the I.quid, usiug a soft
flat camel-hair brush, and avoiding all
rubbing. Piaca it upjn a flat board to
dry.
WHEN water has once been made to
boil, the fire may be very much lessened,
as but little heat is required to keep it at
a boiliDg point. There is no advantage
whatever in making water boil furiously;
the heat will escape iu steam, without
raising the heat of the water.
To HEAL CUTS AND WOUNDS.— The leav
es oi geranium are an excellent application
for cuts, when the skin is rubbed off, aud
Other wounds of the kind. One or two
leaves must be bruised and applied on linen
to the part, and the wound will become
cicatrized in a very short time.
ROSE WATER. — Take otto of roses, twen
ty five drops, rub it in with an ounce of
white sugar and lour drachms of carbonate
of magnesia; then add gradually half a
gallon of water and four ounces of proof
spirits.
AFTER buttering your cake-tins scatter a
little flour over them and the cake is
absolutely certain not to stick to the tin.
If your oven is likely to bake hard at the
bottom put a paper in the bottom of the
tin. Butter it well first.
NOTHING IS better to clean silver with
than alcohol and ammoni; after rubb ng
with this take a little whitening or a soft
cloth and polish in this way; even frosted
silver, which is so difficult to clean, may
be easily made clear and bright.
GLUE frequently cracks because of the
dryness of the air in rooms warmed by
stoves. An Austrian paper reeommends
the addition of a little chloride of calcium to
glue to prevent this.
HOUSKEEPERS will find that zincs may
be scoured with great ecomony of time
and strength by using either glycerine or
creosote mixed with a little diluted sul
phuric acid.
IT is said two parts tailow and one of
resin, melted together and applied to the
soles of new boots or shoes, as much as the
leather will absorb, will double their wear.
CHAPPING of the hands, which is one of
the most disagreable inconveniences of
cold weather, can be easiely prevented by
rubbmg the hands with powdered starch.
• WOODWORK strongly impregnated with
tungstate of soda or silica of soda—by
treatment in a strong aquous solution of
these salts—will be found to be quite unin
flammable.
To brown sugar for sauce or puddings, put
the sugar in a perfectly dry saucepan. If
the pan is the least bit wet, the sugar will
burn and you will spoil your saucepan.
STEEL knives may be saved from rusting
by being rubbed with mutton tallow, wrap
ped in paper, and put into a baizelined
chest.
CELLARS thoroughly treated with white
wash made yellow with copperas will not
be considered a desirable habitation for rats
and mice.
AGRICULTURAL.
WALKING HORSES —Running tho risk of
being set down as an old fogy, we will
say that in our opinion the best gait a
horse ever had for every day use is a walk;
but it is a gait that uot one iu teu possess
es. Colts are not trained to walk. Young
America wants more sp >ed. Horses t rained
to walk fast would be a greater benefit to
farmers in general than fast trotters, as al
most all of his wotk has lo be done with a
walk. Horses that are engaged in hauling
on the roads, that are trained to walking
fast, will make a longer distance m a day
than horses will that are urged to trot at
every couvenieut place, because, wlieu a
horse commences to walk alter a trot, he
will go much slower than his cointinn
gait if kept on a walk, and the consequence
is that he will loose more than he gained.
Where horseback traveling is indulged in,
especially over muddy roads, any other
gait lhau walking is rendered impossible,
aud yet a horse that has beeu trained to
walking last even over bad roads, will
make from four to five miles an hour, but
since the introduction of light wagons a
horse woula he expected to make a greater
distance wheu hauling the wagon over the
same road, though it would be by the aid
of the whip, aud very much to the prejud
ice of the poor auiiual. These one-horse
buggies hsve put horse back rioing out of
fashiou, aud now a good walkiug horse is
more rare thau one that can trot a mile iu
less thau three minutes. It is, however,
to the interest of the farmer that he should
traiu his horse to walk fast.
How CHICKENS GET OUT OF SHELLS.— Take
an egg out oi a nest on which a hen has
had her lull time; carefully holding it to
the ear, turning it around, you will fiud
the exact SJHJI which the little fellow is
picking ou the inside of the shell; this he
will do until the inside shell is perforated,
and the shell is forced outward as a small
scale, leaving a hole. Now, if you will
take one of the eggs in this condition from
uuder the hen, remove it to the house or
some other suitable place, put it iu a box
or nest, keeping it warm aud moist, as
near the temperature of the hen as possi
ble (which may be done by laying it be
tween two bellies ot warm water upon
or wool), and lay a glass over
the box or nest, then you can sit or stand,
as is most convenient, and witness the
true modus operandi. Now watch the
little fellow work his way into the world,
and you will be amused aud instructed, as
I have often been. Afier he has got his
opening he commences a nibbiiug motion
with the poiut of the upper bill ou the
outside of the shell, always working to
the right (if you have the large end of the
egg from you and the hole upward) until
he has worked his way almost around, say
with one-half au inch in t perfect circle;
he then forces the cap or but eud of the
shell off, aud then has a chance to straight
en his neck, thereby loosening his legs
somewhat, and so, by their help, forcing
the body from the shell.
SHADE FOB POULTRY.— PouItry need as
much protection during the summer Jroin
the fierce rays of the sun as they do in
winter from the severe cold, although far
too uiauy.of our breeders lose sight of this
very important fuel, and suffer correspond
ing losses in consequence. Birds com
pelled to stay in the yards which have
little, if any, shade during the entire sum
mer, with the suu pouring down ou them
with the mtensity it does in July aud Au
gust, cannot thrive, while they are ren
dered much more liable to disease and dis
order. It pays, aud pays well too, to give
the fowls comfort at all limes, and it costs
but little to turnish the necessary shade,
no matter how large the runs may be.
Trees, such as pluuis, peach and apple,
should at once be planted in the runs, espe
cially the former, which seems to thrive
better there than the other kinds named.
As these trees will not afford much shade
for a tew yeais, temporary shades must be
made by making skeleton sheds of poles
along the sunny sides ot the runs, aud then
eovermg them with boughs, cedar limbs,
or almost anything cheap aud convenient,
which will afford the necessary shelter
troni the sun. These may not look very
hand omc, but then the utility compensates
fully tor the lack of beauty.
THE Usts OF FALLEN LEAVUS, — Leaves
have to be gathered up. Tuey are excel
lent to mix with hot-bed material, and,
where partieable, 6hould be saved for this
put pose. They do not heat so rapidly as
stable manure, and in this have au advant
age; as tempering the violence makes the
manure last longer and maintain a more
regular heat. They are excellent material
to put round cold frames to protect half
hardy plauts. A board is put up to the
height of the frame boards, aud about a
foot or more from them, and the leaves
in between. If the planls are somewhat
tender, the bottom of the frames may be
tilled a few feet with the leaves. These
leaves after having been two or three years
decaying make admirable stuff for putting
and plauts for flowers general.
COUNT THE CCST.— No man is fit to man
age a farm who does not think beforehand
what is the best to do, and which is the
best way to do it. Work without plan,
has been the blunder of many who pretend
to be farmers. Riising crops without
knowledge as to their cost, or thought as to
whether they will sell or not, has sapped
mauy a fori une. More fore thought iu the
management of a farm is required than in
most any other pursuit followed by man,
and the forehanded farmer is always the
one who counts the cost, and closely calcu
lates all matters that appertain to the farm,
not that a farmer is necessarily obliged to
make shifts and turns in order to succeed
but simply to count the cost.
GRUBS in the head of sheep are believed
to be caused by the gadfly, which depos
its its eggs in the nostiils of the 6heep
during the summer aud autumn; although
hey cause much pain they are not usually
fatal. To prevent them, apply tar to the
nose of the sheep, occasionally, during
July and August, or smear the feeding
troughs with tar. To cure the sheep when
the grubs are once hatched, blow tobacco
smoke up the nostrils or syringe the nose
with a decoction of tobacco.
FARMERS are beg.niog to learn, and in
fact, most of them have already learned,
mat the time speut in destroying weeds in
the autumn is well spent, and that if they
would save time in cultivating hoed crops
they must ket-p the weeds from seeding as
much as posible in all parts of the fa rm;
a little carelessness in this respect will
soon cover a farm with with weed seeds.
A single root of milk weed in a mowing
field, if left unmolested, will spread and
take possession of a large field in a few days.
IT IS an old adage to give the animals
all they will eat. It would be better to
say give them all they can digest There
are a great many animals which eat more
than they digest. As a general thing hor
ses which stand in the stall idle eat much
more than those which work all the time.
The former will be fed half a dozen times
a day, while the work horses are fed but
three times a day, the latter having no
baits between meals,
nUMOROUS.
Titßin education neglected: It is doubt
ful if a single one of the Concord School
of Philosophers could run a hotel, make a
miut julep, roll a cigarette dig a square
hole, tie a bowline knot, set a hen properly,
boss ail engine at a tire, find out the hole
in a leaky roof, back a mule, tel! which
direction is uortli when lost in the woods,
or take off a lady's gaiters in a graceful and
perfectly respectful manner; yet all these
and many more are the things necessary
and iudes]xmsftble to be known before hu
man affairs generally can be considered aud
judged philosophically.
