Mr. Jones Well, when we began here 20 years ago, I thought myelf a good far mer, but I believed others'had good ideas, too, and I made it my busineHS to get at their thought-; some I found in agricul tural books and papers, others I picked up at the County Fairs, by asking how the big things were raised, and often I've got a good hint from a neighbor. Mr Saiith I've always been down on this "book farming,' but your. crops stag- ' ments. si l' tit If , . 1 M Vi V.

About nineteen years a -go I heard that some men who bad been . brought up on farms had clubbed togeth er, and one ol tbem was going to publish a paper, wbich should consi-t mainly of ; accounts of how different farmers cultiva ted various crops, and such like matters. ' I sent for the paper and have done so ev ; erv year since, and now I hae nineteen larf?e lua,of every page of which I have read, a little at a time, and the whole has not cot tbe produce of a single acre. Why I am atonished when I think over the ten thousand thoughts, and hints, and sugces'tions I have thus gathered. What a blank would be left in my bead, if these thoughts were taken away. Mr. Smith but does tbe praotico of farmers on otber kinds of soil and with a different climate, suit your wants? Mr. Jones Why no, not exactly; per haps. But then, every thought I-jret from another, starts a new thought in my own mind, aud thu I am constantly improving my own skill and practice. You see, I get all tbe brain I can from Qther men's heads, and compost tbem well in my qwn head with a mixture of common sense, and then make the application to my fields. In tbat way, I have manured this crop of potatoes with plenty af brain.

In a few moments hi finger was swollen to four times its natural Mze, aud a red streak commenced runningup bi hand and wnnt.

In two hours afterwards he bad so far recovered as to be able to resume his work. I knew an old negro who cured a boy that bad been bitten by a mad dog, by tbe same application. Cure for Diptheria or Sore Throat. We bave already alluded to an article "going the rounds." of the press, purport-, ing to be a oure forDiptberia, which physi cians say is calculated to do a vast amount of mischief in two ways. Firxt. it will not euro a genuine case of Dtptberia or throat disease. Second, parents and others will confide in it until it is too late for a phy sician to cure the patient. In this con nectiou we clip tbe following oard from an exchange paper: "Diptheria or sore throat can always be cured by tbe following simple, ration al treatment, if resorted to in tbe forming stage, and, in most oases, in any and ev ery stage of the dieae. Tho treat ment consists in converting a virulent, specific sore throat into an artificial sore throat, by tbe free application of nitrate of silver (lunar caustic), either in subtanco or strong solution thirty grains to half ounce of cold water to be applied to the whole vi-iblo internal throat. Fear not use liberally and you will oure every case. Such has been my experience What can be more rational ? A superfi cial burn will heal by a natural procesn; a specific, virulent disease will not. Pby sicians, try it. If resorted to early, and thoroughly applied, it will never fail. An Experienced Physician." Potatoes in the West.
