Every man should Lave a can of linseed oil end a brush on hand, and whenever he buys a new tool he should soak it well with the oil and dry it by the ro or in the sun before, using. The wood by this treatment is toughened and strengthened and rendered impervious to water. Wet a new hay rake, and when it dries it will begin to Le loose in the joints; but if well oiled, the wet will have but slight effect. Shovels and forks arc preserved from chocking and cracking in the top of the haudlo by oiling; the wood becomes smooth as glass by use, and far less liable to blister the hand when long used. Axe and hammer handles often break off where she wood enters the iron ; this dart particularly should bo toughened with oil to secure durability. Oiling in the eye of the axe will prevent it swelling and shrinking, and sometimes getting loose. The tools on a largo farm cost a large sum of money ; they should be of the most ap proved kinds. It is a poor economy, at the present extravigant prices for labor to set men at work with ordinary, old fashioned implements. Laborers should bo required to return their tools to the convenient places provided for them; after using, they should bo put away clean and bright. The mould-boards of plows are apt to get rusty from one season to another, even if sheltered ; they should be brushed over with a few drops of oil when put away, and they will then remain in good order till wanted. nogs and Rattlesnakes. The Columbus (Ohio) News says that a farmer near there, recently, in walking about his place, discovered a nest of rat tlesnakes in an old log about which sev eral large pieces of rock lay scattered. lie had heard that hogs were death on snakes of all sorts, and not caring to at tack the nest himself, ho thought he would try the experiment and see a fight. He drove several hogs in the: vicinity of the nest, and watched the result. The hogs soon seemed to scent the snakes, and commenced rooting eagerly about the spot. In an instant half a dozen of the serpcnt3 emerged from their hiding-places to attack tho intruders, who mani fested a zealous disposition to go in. A snake would rear himself to the height of the back of a hog, shako his rattles, and fduugo his fangs into the animal with ightning-likc celerity, and then dart away pursued by the grunter, who dex trously received tho sting upon the fleshy part of the jaw. Time and' again this would be repeated, until tho hog got his fore-foot upon tho snake, when he would deliberately rip tho Bnakc in twain, and then devour him. This slaughter con tinued until all the snakes were disposed of, when the hogs grunted contentedly, and without any signs of being disturbed waddled off in 6earch of 'other proven der. Tho eye-witness to this singular contest, which was not without its excit ing features, declares himself convinced that a pig is impervious to the poisonous bito of any kind of serpent. . Care of Horses' Legs. Few men who haudlc horses give prop er attention to tho feet and legs. Espec ially is this the case on tho farms. Much time is spent of a morning rubbing, brush ing and smoothing the hair on the' sides and hips, but at no time are tho feet ex amined and properly cared for. Now, be it known, that in this six thousand year old world of ours, the feet of horses need more caro than the body. They need ten times as much for in ono re spect they are almost tho cntiro horses. All tho grooming that can bo douo won't avail anything, if tho horse is forced to stand whero his feet will bo filthy. In this caso the, feet will become disor dered, and then the legs will get badly out of fix, and with bad feet and bad legs thero is not much clso of tho horso fit for anything. Stablo prisons Generally aro terribly severe on tho feet and legs of horses, and unless the buildings can afford a dry room, whero a horse can walk around, lio down or roll over, they arc not halt so healthy and comfortable to tho horse as tho pasture, and should bo avoided by all good hostlers in the coun try. 12 ural World. Dronght la New Euglaud. ' The Crops in New England aro suffer ing terribly from drought, and the farm ers of that region consider 1870 as a hard year. Light showers have visited most localities, but since May, no soaking rain has fallen anywhere. The intense and protracted heat, it is stated, has parched the ground to tho depth of three lect, Las destroyed the pasturage, and rolled up the leaves of corn. A good rye crop has been gathered, but the Indian corn will be light. Hay is twenty-five per cent, below the average yield, and the oats crop is equally deficient. .The tobacco crop of the Connecticut Valley is reported to be looking well; but that planted last and insufficiently manured will turn out to be a failure, unless rain speedily falls. Potatoes were extensive ly planted, but the crop will not exceed two-thirds of tho average yield. Cure for Felon. Tho London Lancet says there is noth ing like the following for tho cure of felon : " As soon as tho pulsation which indicates tho disease, is felt put directly over the spot a fly blister about the size of your thumb nail, and let it rcmaiu for six hours, at the expiration of which time directly under tho surface of the blister may be seen tho felon, which can instant ly bo taken out with the point of a nce dlo or lancet."

THE KIDNEYS. riHE Kidneys ire two in number, situated at X the upper part of the loin, surrounded by fat, and consisting of three parts, viz i the An terior, tho Interior and the Kxtcrior. The Anterior absorbs. Interior consists or tissues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine and convey it to the Exterior. Tho Exterior is a conductor also, terminating in a single tube, and called the Ureter. The Ureters arc connected with tho bladder. Tho bladder is composed of various covcr- ings or tissues, divided into parts, viz. : the L ppcr, the Lower, the Nervous, and the mucous. The upper expels, tho lower retains. Many have a desire to urinato without the ability; others urinate without tho ability to retain. 1 his frequently occurs in children. To cure these affections, wo must bring into action the muscles, which aro engaged in their various fuuetious. If they are neglected, Gravel or Dropsy may ensue. The render must also bo mado nwarc, that however slight may be the attack, it is sure t affect the bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh and blood are supported from these sources. Goct, on Rheumatism. Pain occurring in the loins arc indicative of the above diseases. They occur in persons disposed to acid stomach and chalky concretions. The Gravel. Tho gravel ensues from neg lect or Improper treatment of the kidneys. These organs being weak, tho water is not ex polled from tho blnddcr, but allowed to remain j It becomes feverish, and sedimeut lorms. It Is from this deposit that the stone is formed and gravel ensues. Dropsy is a collection ofwater in some parti of the body, and bears different names, accord ing to the parts auectcd, viz. : when general ly diffused over the body, it is called Anasarca j when of the abdomen, Ascites; when of the chest, Hydrothorax. Treatment. Ilclmbold's highly conccntra cd compound Extract Buchu is" decidedly one of the best remedies for diseases of the blad der, kidneys, bladder, dropsical swellings, rheumatism and gouty affections. Under this head wo have arranged Dysuria, or difficulty and pain in passing water, Scanty Secretion, or small and frequent discharges of water j Stran gury, or stopping of water j Hematuria, or bloody urine; Gout and Rheumatism of the kidneys, without any chango in qunntity, but increase in color, or dark water. It was al ways highly recommend by the late Dr. Phye ick, in these affections. This medicine increases tho power of diges tion, end excites the absorbents into healthy exercise by which the watery or calcareous do positions, and all unnatural enlargements, as well as pain and inllnniation, are reduced, and it is taken by men, women, and children. Di rections for use and diet accompany. Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 25, 18G7. II. T. Helmdold, Druggist : Dear Sir I have been a sufferer, for upward of twenty years, with gravel, bladder, and kid ney affections, during which time I have used various medicinal preparations, and been under the treatment of the most eminent Physicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively advertised, I consulted with my family physi cian in regard to using your Extract liuchu. I did this because I had used all kiuds of ad vertised remedies, and had found them worth less, and, some quite injurious ; in fact, I de spaired of ever getting well, and determined to U60 no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs, and juniper berries, it occurred to mo and my physician as an excellent combination, and, with his advice, after un examination of the article, and con sulting again with the druggist, I concluded to try it. I commenced its use about eight months ago, at which time I was confined to my room. From tho llrst bottle I was astonished and grat ified at tho beneficial effect, and after using it three weeks, was able to walk out. ' I felt much like writing you a full statement of my case at tho timo, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, and thercforo concluded to defer and see if it would effect a perfect cure, knowing then it would be of more value to you, and moro satisfactory to me. I am now able to report that a cure Is effect ed after using the remedy for five mouths. I havo not used any now for three months, and feel as well in all respects as I ever did. Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigorntor of tho system, I do not mean to be without it wheuevcr occasion may require its use lu such affections. m.
