Bone Meal for Poultry.
Tho following is nn extract from the
Tcport of tbo poultry committee of the
Bristol (Mass.) county fair :
" Last winter I procured two barrels of
bono, intending to use it lor Irish pota
toes and otber garden crops. My wife
appropriated somo of it for her roses iu
the garden, by simply strewing it on the
urface of tho ground around the bush
es. Tho fowls liavo free access to the
garden, und wcro discovered eating the
meal very eagerly. Thinking it might
bo of service to them, we gavo them some
for several weeks, and I assuro you it was
but a short time beforo the eggs began to
como in, in such numbers as we had never
known beforo. If a nest was broken up
to prevent a hen from setting, it was but
a few days till sho was laying again, and
thus it has continued to tho present time.
One hen has taken possession of a barrel
that has some bone meal in it, and is lay
ing in the moid. Whether she will lay
tho barrel full or not, time will show.
My wife thinks that care and bone meal
are great institutions for her poultry
yard, and very extraordinary in their ef
fect, but as tho bcu bus got an unusual
amount of cackling to do, fears it may
bririjr on bronchitis. Tho manuring of
hens to make them lay, we think is orig
inal, but wo have no idea of taking out
a patent for it, and hence leave the dis
covery open to the use of all who may
choose to try it."
To TrcserTe Eggs.
There are several ways to preserve eggs
but they must in all cases bo prepared
fresh or new laid, otherwise thoy will not
keep, no matter how they are fixed.
The principle of preserving is to keep
them fresh, cool, and in the dark.
To preserve with mutton l'at, melt the
suet, dip them in it twice do not have
the suet too hot and follow the above
directions.
To preserve with mucilage, dissolve the
gum arabio iu water to an ordinary thin
paste, cool them, or dip them in it twice.
When dry, which is in a few minutes, lay
them away in charcoal dust, or bran, or
dry sawdust ; put the box in a cool, dry
closet or eellar, small end upward.
To preserve with lime, take ten quarts
of water, add two pounds of salt and two
ounces of saltpetre; boil togcthcrjfor twen
ty minutes; when nearly cold, add eight
ounces of iuiek lime ; let it stand three
days, stirring it every day ; place the
small end downward in layers in ajar;
when filled pour in tho mixture. They
will keep for months. Tho water should
be over them two inches.
Snlt for Swine.
Swino are such greedy feeders that not
a few farmers pay very littlo attention to
their feeding. Tho swill-barrel is very
little better than a sink, und tho poor
hogs are expeeted to eat any thing and
every thing which is refused by tho oth
er animals, human and brute alike. This
short sighted treatment, however, works
its own euro, or punishment rather, for
swine thus treated make poor pork, and
often die before killing time. Others
who are particular about feeding their
pigs forget to supply them with salt, as
they do other animals. They require to
be salted, however, just as much as cat
tle, horses, or sheep, und suffer as much
when neglected as uny of these animals.
If the food bo not regularly salted, there
should bo a trough or box in every sly,
in which salt may bo deposited regularly
for the use of tho animals. Salting the
food judiciously would bo much tho best
way.
A Secret Told.
The long celebrated "white Diamond
Cement" is composed of Itussiu Isinglass
8 ounces, soft water 1 pint. White Car
bonate of Lead. '1 ounces, and Absolute
Alcohol 5 fluid ounces. This forms tho
strongest known cement, ami is used by
jeweler. in setting diamonds, which
gives it its namo. For cementing glass,
porcelain, wood, iron, or any other solid
material it is very useful, und us it will
keep good for years, will savo many times
its cost in any family. The ingredients for
making this useful article may bo bad at
any drug-store.
Jta)T Boiled gems can be be ninde by
taking old funhion, hard wheat meal Cor
Graham flour) dumplings of a good size,
put into boiling soft wuter und cook from
twenty minutes lo half an hour. Thoy aro
delicious, and must be eaten while hot with
fruit and molasses, etc. Will bear boil
ing up again once or twice. They prove
very light.
VaT Onions uro often injured by keep,
iiig them iu too warm a place. It u the
alternato freezings and thawings that de
stroy them ; und if placed iu a positiou
whero they will remain frozen ull winter,
and theu thawed out slowly and in a durk
place, no considerable injury would result
from this apparent harsh treatment.

THE KIDNEYS.
rpiIE Kidneys t re two In number, situated nt
J. the upper part of the loin, surrounded by
fat, and consisting of three parts, viz : tho An
terior, the Interior nnd tho Exterior.
The Anterior absorbs. Interior consists of
tissues or Tclns, which servo as a deposit for
tho nrlno and convey it to the Exterior. The
Exterior Is a conductor nlfo, terminating In a
single tube, and called the Ureter. TheUrete
arc connected w 1th the bladder.
Tho bladder Is composed of various cover
ings or tissues, divided into rmrts, viz. I the
Upper, the Lower, tho Nervous, and tho Mucous.
The upper expels, tho lower retains. Many
have a desire to urlnnto without tho ability";
others urinate without tho nblllty to retain.
This frequently occurs in children.
To cure these nirectlons, wo must bring Into
action the muscles, which aro engaged in their
various functions. If they arc neglected, Gravel
or Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must nleo bo made nwnrc, that
however slight may be the attack, it is sure ta
aflcct the bodily health nnd mental powers, as
onr flesh nnd blood nro supported from these
sources.
Gout, ok Rnm-MATisM. Pain occurring In
the loins are indicative of the abovo diseases.
They occur in persons disposed to acid stomach
and chalkv concretions.
Dear Sin I have been a sullcrer, for upward
of twenty years, w ith gravel, bladder, and kid
ney nfl'ections, during which time I have used
various medicinal preparations, nnd been under
the treatment of the most eminent Physicians,
experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
ndvertised, I consulted with my family physi
cian In regard to using your Extract Buehu.
I did tliis because I hud used all kinds 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 ta
uso no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the
ingredients. It was this that prompted mo to
uso your remedy. As you ndvertised that it
was composed of buehu, cubebs, nnd juniper
berries, it occurred to mo und my physiclun as
an excellent combination, nnd, with his advice,
after un examination of the article, nnd con
sulting again with tho druggist, I concluded to
try It. I commenced its use ubout eight months
ago, nt which time I wus conllned to my room.
From tho first bnttlo I was astonished and grat
ified at the beneficial e fleet, and alter using it
thrco weeks, was able to walk nut. I felt much
like writing you a full statement of my case at
tho time, but thought my Improvement might
only be temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and see if it would effect a perfect cure,
knowing theu lt would bo of more vuluetoyou,
and moro satisfactory to me.
I am now able to report that a cure is effect
ed after using tho remedy for fire months.
I have not used any now for thrco months,
and feel as well in all respects as I ever did.
Your Buehu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor, a nico tonic and invigorator of
the system, I do not mean to be without it
whenever occasion may require its uso In such
affections.
m. Mccormick.
Should any doubt Mr. MeCormick's state
ment, bo refers to the following gentlemen :
Tim Gravel. Tho gravel ensues from neg
lect or improper treatment of the kidneys.
These organs being weak, the water is not ex
pelled from the bladder, but allowed to remain ;
It becomes feverish, and sediment forms. It la
from this deposit that the stone is formed and
gravel ensues.
Dropsy Is a collection of water In somo parts
of tho body, and bears dlll'erent names, accord
ing to tho parts affected, viss. : when general
ly diffused over tho body, It Is called Anasarca j
when of the abdomen, Ascites ; when of the
chest, Hydrothornx.
Treatment. Hclmbold's highly conccntru
cd compound Extract Buehu is decidedly one
of tho best remedies for discuses ol tho blad
der, kidneys, bladder, dropsical swellings,
rheumatism and gouty affections. Under thia
head we have arranged Dysurla, or difficulty
and pain In passing water, Scanty Secretion, or
small and frequent discharges of wntcr Stran
gury, or stopping of water j Hematuria, or
bloody urine ; Gout and Khcumutism of the
kidneys, without any change iu quantity, but
increase In color, or durk wuter. It was al
wnys highly recommend by tho lute Dr. Phys
ical, in these affeclious.
This medicine increases tho power of diges
tion, end excites tho absorbents Into healthy
exercise by which tho wutery or calcareous de
positions, and all unnatural enlargements, as
well ns pain and lufiamallon, nro reduced, and
it is taken by men, women, and children. Di
