FOR TIIE FARjf AMI HOME. Cure for Wart*. Warts on cows’ teats are sometimes difficult of cure, but have been remov¬ ed by applying once a day a liniment composed of equal parts of sweet oil and spirits of turpentine. Follow up the applications for several weeks if necessary. Should the teats becomb sore have cots made for them and let them be worn constantly except at milking time. It is said that by touching the tops of warts with a very little muriatic acid night and morning for several days a painless cure can be effected. This is danger¬ ous to handle, however, and should be kept in a glass bottle provided with a ground glass stopper. It can be ap¬ plied with the tip of a small feather. Great care should be used not to let the acids touch any other parts than the warts, and the bottle containing it should be kept out of the reach of children. The oil and turpentine is much the safer remedy. The Best Feed for Pin*. The best feed for weaned young pigs is potatoes boiled and ma died i the water in which they are boiled, thickened with barley meal. This is given in reasonable quantities,and not to overfeed the pigs. A young pig of 20 or 30 pounds needs no more of this food than a pound a day, with a pint of skimmed milk. It is altogether wrong to give the pigs so much food that they cannot hold any more. This repletion leads to indigestion and pro¬ duces staggers and paralysis of th* hind quarters; black teeth and other supposed ailments follow from the dis¬ ordered stomach. It is easy to in¬ crease the food if found necessary, but not to remove the injury done by giv ing too much. As the pig grows very fast the food needs to be increased in proportion. The 300-pound 9-months old pigs are never overfed, but are fed just enough and no more. For a 300-pound pig 10 pounds of dry food is ample for one day’s feediug .—New York Times. Distributing Hen Mtnur. The droppings from the hen roots are a very stimulating fertilizer when rotted sufficiently to go into fine pow¬ der* This can in small amounts be applied in contact with seed, and if fine enough may be drilled with it. A very good practice is to mix hen ma¬ nure with the commercial fertilizers, especially bone dissolved in sulphuric add. There is usually some free acid in the phosphate, which readily com¬ bines with the nitrogen in the hen manure. If ashes are used in this mixture it should be only when the seed is about to be covered. We have put dry wood ashes in the drill with hen manure and phosphate, and believe it a good practice. The ashes clean the drill from sticky phosphate, and though there is some smell of ammon¬ ia, indicating its loss, yet there is the satisfaction of knowing that the ashes are in contact with manure under the soil, where no loss of ammonia can occur. The very reasons why ashes and manures should never be com¬ posted together above ground furnish arguments to placing them in contact with each other under the surface.— Cultivator. Parasitic Disease iu Lambs are subject to a parasitic disease which is always fatal to them if neglected. It is known among ahepherds by the suggestive names of "pining” and “paper skin.” and by veterinarians as “anaemia,” or want of blood. It is caused by a thread-worm, which exists in the lungs and aii passages, and interferes so much with the breathing as to prev nt the due aeration of the blood, and the nece - sary supply of this vital fluid. The ^ 1 red , gi°bulcs , . , of , the blood are lacking; the blood is pale, and the growth of the animal is arrested. The skin appears white and thin, like paper, and the young crea¬ tures are weak and pine away gradu¬ ally for want of adequate nutrition, and finally die. A similar parasite produces the disease in calves, known as “husk,” or “hoose.” It affects ! lambs that graze in pastures with old sheep; calves troubled which : are are fed with the cow, or upon , hay from fields where older animals are pastured; and young chicks which run upon ground fouled by the hens, are apt to get the gapes. To prevent it, this chief cause is to be avoided, while to cure it, the usual and effective remedy i is to give small, repeated doses of ! turpentine. The following mixture is recommended: , , m To one ounce of * mo lasses, or linseed oil, add one-fourth of an ounce of spirits of turpentine; shake snake well well together together, and and trivo 1 give one one | teaspoonful to each lamb early in the j morning. For a calf, one tablespoon- ; ful should be given an hour before feeding .» i. , the .. . and , drop . I ] in morning; one may be given to a small chicken. The ermedy should be repeated for a week or ten. days, as it is necessary that a sufficient quantity of the tur¬ pentine should be given to secure its escape through the lungs of the animal by exhalation. — American Agriculturist. Household Hint*. To remove tarnish from silver, use a solution of borax or soda. To brighten a zinc bath-tub, throw in a handful of salt, wet with vinegar, and scour with a flannel cloth. The grease that runs from a goose wiien roasting should always be kept, as it is particularly good to dress spin¬ ach with. Never place fresh eggs near lard, fruit, cheese, fish, or other articles from which any odor arises. The eggs are extremely active in absorbing power, and in a very short time they are con¬ taminated by the particles of objects in their neighborhood, by which the j peculiar and exquisite taste of a new. laid egg is destroyed.

They are attached by a rope of hemp, in which there is a cable, by means of which « electric light can be produced in the balloon. The meaning of the signals is determined by the length of time during which the balloon is lighted up. A Practical Business College. [Nashvilie Christian Advocate .] When Mr. It. W r .

Seasickness, iu the main, is caused by the rapidly-varying pressure of blood on the brain, due to the upward and down¬ ward motion of the chip. As the ship descends into the trough of the wave the pressure increases; as she rises to the crest the pressure diminishes, and nausea is the natural and ordinary consequence of a sudden rush ot blood from the brain. Great relief may be obtained by lying on the side, with the head resting on the breast and the knees drawn up as near as possible to the chin. In this po¬ sition the variation in the pressure of blood on the brain is reduced to a mini¬ mum, and the stomach and its nerves in a great measure are protected from the vibrations of the ship.
