Catching Cou>.—As a rule sneez
ing is the warning which nature gives
that some part of the Wxly is exposed
to a cooler temperature than the other
narts, and the sneezer is catching cbld.
Next to tnfe warning, what is the use
of the sneeze? It throws open the
whole body, and induces a gentle per
spiration; in a word, it throws off the
cold. A child rarely sneezes more
than twice; perspiration is readily in
duced in youth; an old man, on the
contrary, sneezes from a half dozen
to a dozen times, with a “catchogue.”
It is harder to set him to perspiring.
When one is sitting by an qpen win
dow, and finds himself sneezing, na
ture tells him be is taking told. lie
should get tip instantly, walk about,
and take a full tumbler of water to
keep up the perspiration that the
sneeze set in motion. If he does this
he will not be telling, an hour after,
that he has a cold in the head, chest,
or lungs.
WiNTEB Blowing.—We head this
article winter, but we should have said
fall plowing is not sufficiently thought
of and practiced by our farmers. If a
good crop is desirable the ground
should receive good ami ' thorough
preparation. The climate and soil of
England is no better for wheat than
much of the climate and soil of our
country, yet English farmers pay
great attention to the preparation of
their land, and consequently make
nearly double to what we do' to the
acre. An English farmer will give
his field two pipwings, several har
rowings, sometimes rolls it. while a
Georgia farmer will give his field one
poor plowing. Extra work in plow
ing not only leaves a profit, but such
f generous treatment benefits the soil.

Make soft soap according to directions
from concentrated lye. To each gal
lon of this soap add one pound of cop
peras and water to dissolve it; boil
until well mixed ; put it in a trough
and add milk or rich slop until it is
palatable, and just as you are ready
to let the hogs in, put in a pound of
soda, so that it will be foaming as
they come to drink. This dose is
suflietent for twenty-five hogs. If the
hogs are diseased, administer this two
<lays in succession—then miss a day
and give two more doses, when you
can turn them out well and hearty.

Every family should have a bounti
ful supply of tomato catsup to eat
during the winter on fresh meat, and
this is the way it is made : Take ripe
tomatoes J bushel; wash clean and
mash up ; then put over the fire and
let them come to a boil; then remove
from fire, and when the hand can be
borne in them, rub through a seive,
and to what, goes through, add one
teacupful of each salt, spice and
cloves, and best vinegar one quart.
Put on tire again and cook one hour,
stirring with great care to avoid burn
ing. Bottle and seal for use. If too
thick when used, add a little vinegar.
If the tomatoes are very juicy they )
should be boiled over an hour.
A hot lemonade is one of the best
remedies in the world for a cold. One

yourself on the following day. This)
remedy will ward off an attack of)
chills and fever, if promptly used.

ABOUT EDITORS.
Every editor loves to have friends.
■) and particularly his readers call on
) him. They belong to the same family
as it were. But when you call on the
), editor don’t stay too long. Editors
' are generally very busy during busi
! ness hours. If you have a suggestion
to make, or news to communicate,
state it in the fewest words possible.
I Don’t offer any excuses, or indulge in
’ any long preface to what you have to
say. Blurt it right out. Tell the editor
you wish him well and bid him good
day. Editors dote on such men as
that; they love to receive calls from
them. Don’t argue with him. Don’t
. try to do it. They have no time for
argument while at work.
When you write to an editor for
. publication, make it. short.—boil it
) down. Pitch right into the middle of
■ your subject, and be sure to stop when
■ you are through. Editors always like
i something fresh and original in the
way of communications, and are espe
cially fond of news. But the editor
must always be the judge of what is
) worthy of publication. Os course
j every writer thinks his own publica-
I tion the best, just as every mother
) thinks her own babe the prettiest
that was ever born. But the editor
may be so stupid as to have quite a
different opinion. If so. it. can’t be
helped. Don’t try to argue him out
of his notion, if he is too stupid to
remedy his dullness. You may think
you are a great deal smarter than the
editor, and this may be true; but the
| editor may be responsible and you
I are not. Besides the paper is bis
he pays bis rents, bis printers and his
paper bills—and has :i right to print
what he pleases. There are no class
of people so anxious to please a ma
jority of the people as editors. There
is no class so covetous of the good
opinion of others. It is well to re
member that fact.
Ct re for Sleeplessness.—Wet
half a towel, apply it to the back of
i the neck, pressing it upward toward
the base of the brain, and fasten the
j dry half of the towel over so as to
j prevent the too rapid exhalation. The
I effect is prompt and charniing, cool
) ing the brain ami inducing calmer,
I sweeter sleep than any narcotic.
Warm water may be used, though
most persons will prefer it told. To
those suffering from over-ejeitvment
of the brain, whether the result of
brainwork or pressing anxfely, this
simple remedy is an especial boon.
