The most ready antidote for opiara, mor
phia, or any other of its preparations, is
coffee. .Just ordinary drinking coffee.
A Romv, it is said, kills on an average,
about eight handred flies in an hour; a
sparrow will destroy about one hundred,
aud Jifty caterpillars in a lay.
A correspondent of paner,
advocating the protection of the crow, star**
that, having shot crows in a corn-field, he
opened their stomachs, expecting to find
them full of wheat. On the contrary, he
discovered that they contained a large num
ber of caterpillars, whose ravages upon
the crop were quite evident. B- fore farm-"'
ers become perfectly ruthless in their des
truction of birds round their farms, it might
be well for them to repeat this experiment,
and ascertain which are their friends and
which their enemies.
Dried Frit ts.— The return of the season
tor gathering fruits and preparing them
for market makes it our duty to offer some
suggestions to fruit raisers. To bring the
best prices apples ought to be sliced thin,
taking out the core. There are simple,
cheap machines for doing this at a great
saving of labor; but avoid that machine
which cuts the apples into rings. They
are scarcely salable in that shape. They
should be dried a bright straw' color, tak
ing care to keep them from wet. Peaches
should be peeled and cut lengthwise of the
peach, and great care ought to be taken to
dry them bright. Blackberries must be
dried thoroughly without breaking them.
Cherries, when pitted, sell better with red
and black mixed. They must be thorough
ly dried, and no sugar, molasses, or syrup
mixed with them.
A good summer drink may bo made by
procuring a keg, and drawing a piece of
coarre bobinet, or very coarse book muslin
over the end of the faucet that is inserted
into the keg, to prevent its choking, a good
tight bung, and near to that a gimlet hole,
with a peg to fit tight. For five gallons
take one quart, of sound corn, put into the
keg, with half a gallon of molasses : then
fill with cold water within two inches of
the bung. Shake well, aud in two or three
days it will be fit for use. Bung tight. If
you want spruce flavor, add one teaspoon
ful of essence of spruce —lemon, if lemon
is preferable—ginger, or any flavor you
prefer. The corn lasts for five or six brew
ings ; when it is exhausted, renew it.
When the beer passes lrom the vinous to
the ascetous fermentation it can be correct
ed by adding a little more molasses and
water.
This is a simple, choap beverage. After
the beer becomes ripe, it ought to be kept
in a cool place, to prevent it from becoming
sour before it is exhausted.— Or. Teh

Cut tiiis Out and Keep Tt.— Franklin
Pyre, a highly respectable and intelligent
farmer of Galena, Kent county, Md., gives
the following as a sure cure for the bite of
a hiad dog. As will bo seen, he has tested
it with the most gratify results :
Elecampane is a plant well known to
most porsons, and is to be found in many
of our gardens. Immediately after being
bitten, take one and a half once of the root
of the plant—the green roots of the plant
are perhaps preferable, but the dried will
answer, and will be found in our drug
stores, as was used by me—-slice or bruise,
put into a pint of fresh milk, boil down to
a half pint, strain, and when cold drink it,
fasting at least six hours afterward. The
next morning repeat the dose, fasting, using
two ounces of the root. On the third
morning take a third dose, propared as the
last, and this will be. sufficient. It is
recommended that after each dose nothing
bo eaten for at least six hours. I have a
son who was bitten by a mad dog eighteen
years ago, and four other children in the
neighborhood were also bitten ; they took
the above dose, are alive and well to this
day. And I have known a number of
Others who were bitten and applied the
same remedy.— Baptist Watchman.
Keeping Sweet Potatoes.— Editors So.
Cultivator: —The subject of keeping sweet
potatoes seems to have involved in some
mystery, from the great multiplicity of
plans adopted by different persons to keep
them through the winter. Having had
gome experience on the subject, many
yoars ago, I arrived at conclusions, deduced
from facts and observations then made, that
may elucidate the matter somewhat to the
uninitiated. On a yam bed raised two feet
high, one spring, I bedded the potatoes for
slips to plant, the next spring after potatoes
came up in the sam 0 bed ; I know they had
remained all the winter sound, in the bed,
without protection. The fact was new to
me then, and was not lost. I suppose the
potatoes grew so deep in the ground the
freezes in winter did not reach them, and
they remained sound ; the bed being high,
the water from rains did not hurt them.
From the above facts I came to the con-
elusion that sweet potatoes potatoes would
keep through the winter covered with dirt,
alone, deep enough to prevent freezing, and
tho bottom of the banks raised so as to pre
vent water standing among them. The
next fall I put up a bank covered with dirt
only, no straw, corn stalks, or boards to
protect them, to test the conclusions to
which I have arrived. I put the (ItVt about
two feet deep on the potatoes. The bank
was not open until the next spring, when
the potatoes were found to be sound, as was
anticipated. The same experiment has
been tried frequently since, w th the same
results. It is no longer an experiment but
nn established fact. Ido not consider if
the safest plan, as the dirt may be washed
off, or not placed thick enough in the first
instance, but if properly done the potatoes
will keep sound. Dry dirt will nut freeze
as readily as vet dirt, hence the advantage
of a shelter; arranged correctly, potato
houses will keep potatoes until anew crop
comes in. The difficulty is in having them
too close, or too open, and not properly
ventilated. Mr. Wellborn’s plan of a potato
house, as described in the November num
ber of the Southern Cultivator, strikes me
as most excellent.
The conclusion arrived at is, that pota
toes will keep sound by apy plan that
secures them from freezing and from water
standing about them; and houses must be
tight and well ventilated. It is best t
hafo tubs or small boxes, in handing pota
toes to put them sip. and when digging
them, a8 baskets are more apt to skin them,
which may cause rot. Yoirs, &o.
Rudin
P. S.—Potatoes put in banks, the a.rfc
absorbs the moisture from them ; no use for
ventilators unless the hanks are very
large. Houses require ventilation to pass
off moisture, as the wood or bricks cannot
absorb it. R.
