Half a teaspoonful of common table
salt, dissolved in a little cold water
and drank will instantly relieve heart
burn. ^ _
The fumes of burning coffee are a
powerful disinfectant. Pound the
coffee in a mortar and then strew it
on a hot iron plate* which, however,
must not be red hot.
Mustard is a valuable remedy. No
family should be without it. Two or
three’teaspoonsful of ground mustard
stirred in half a pint of water acts as
an emetic, promptly, and is milder and
easier to take than salt and water.
“Can poultry raising be overdone?”
We think not. Eggs are imported
into this country every year. A
“glut” of the poultry and egg market
never occurs, although when the ex
cess of “old hens” are being sent to
market prices are reduced for awhile,
but there are times when the prices
exceed other farm products.
Common baking soda is the best of
all remedies- in cases of scalds and
burns. It may be used on the surface
of the burned place either dry or wet.
When applied promptly, the sense of
relief is magical. It seems to with
draw the heat and with it the pain,
and the healing process soon commen-
For toothache, take equal parts of
• imphor, sulphuric ether, ammonia,
laudanum, tincture of cayenne, and
one-fourth part of oil cloves. Mix
well together, saturate with the liquid
a small piece of cotton; apply to the
cavity of the diseased tooth, and the
pain will cease at once.
When a particle of dust, or small,
speck of any kind, lodges in the eye,
to remove it take a grain of flaxseed
and insert it under the lid. It be-
•omes glutinous almost instantly, and
draws all dust or annoyance to the
torner of the eye, where it yury easily
be removed.
The Comparative Value of Ensilage.
Woman as a Fruit Grower.
•V voung girl brought up on a farm,
though receiving between the ages of
1 5 and 20 the benefit of a first-class ed
ucation in a distant city, was sudden-
lv bereft of both father and mother,
ifter the settlement of the estate,
sh« found herself possessed of a farm
of thirty acres, a team of horses and
the implements of farm work, togeth
er with the sum of $150 hi cash, with
which to begin her tight with the
world After due deliberation she de
cided to retain the small farm and
work it. It so happened that about
two acres had been set to strawberries
some time before, which would bear
its first main crop the summer follow
ing her removal to the small farm.
Slfe immediately had this bed cultiva
ted and manured, doing all but the
heavy "work with her own hands.
The crop netted her about $110.^ The
next step was to increase the planta
tion, adding raspberries, blackberries
etc. until now, to make a long story
short, less than six years from the
time work was commenced, the origi
nal farm of ninety acres had £>een
purchased and paid for, in cash, too,
r ul d is being rapidly laid out in orch
ards. A poultry yard of no mean di
mensions adds vastly to the income
and a snug bank account is ready for
a rainy day. More than all, she has
developed from a dependent girl into
a strong, healthy, self-reliant busi
ness woman. And the secret of her
success is good sense, a lack of that
bane to American girls, false pride,
and an indomitable Avill and a determi
nation to succeed.—American Farmer.
An Old Citizen Speaks.
Mr. J. M. Norris, an old resident of
Rome, Ga., says, that he had been
badly’ troubled with Kidney Com
plaint for a - great many years and
with Eczema for three years; at times
could scarcely Avalk and .had tried
many remedies without benefit, until
he began taking Electric Bitters and
anointing his hands and feet with
Bucklen's Arnica Salve. This treat
ment afforded him great relief and
he stronglv recommends Electric Bit
ters to all who suffer with Kidney
Complaints, or need a Blood Purifier.

Sick headache is the signal of dis

a natural acid to restore the battery to

juice fifteen minutes before each meal,
andthe same at bedtime. Follow this
course until all symptoms are past,
taking no other remedies.
Killed by Lightning.—Tommy
Perry, the fourteen year old grand
son of Mr. W. W. Tomlin, who lives
in the CGth district, some sixteen miles
from town, while plowing last Satur
day afternoon was struck by lightning
and killed, together with the mule he
was plowing. The stroke entered at
his head and passed out his arms
through the plow handles to the
mule, A negro boy who was plowing
in the field near him, was knocked
down by the shock but not injured.—

At the annual meeting of the New
York State Agricultural Society, re-
eently held, Hr. Sturtevant, director,
of the State experiment Station, read
a paper on experiments with ensilage.
His conclusions, reached through feed
ing experiments carried on at the sta
tion, as to the value of fodder corn en
silage, are as follows: ‘“1 may be al
lowed, in conclusion, to refer to the
results of some figures bearing upon
the food value of ensilage when fed as
an adjunct to other foods. When
the ration Avas 18 pounds of an eA T en
mixture of meal and bran, together
Avith about 70 pounds of ensilage daily,
and this compared Avith the same a-
mouiit of grain with 80 pounds of the
same tlried fodder, Avhich put in the
-ilo formed the ensilage, and the same
amount of gra in Avitli 20 pounds of hay,
r he folloAving conclusions Avere justifi
ed by our results, viz., that 2G pounds
<>f fodder corn avrs the equivalent of
70pounds of .the ensilage, or 18 pounds
of hay. Expressing these results in
tabular form, using 100 pounds as the
unit for comparison, Ave have:
< >ne hundred pounds of ensilage
Avas the equivalent of 38 pounds of
fodder corn.

From this table the value of ensil
age can readily be calculated when
used as an adjunct food under circum
stances as stated, and the relative val-
ues of our hay and our fodder corn
can a Iso be observed. Our present
experience seems to justify the belief
that in addition to hay and grain a-
bout 25 pounds of ensilage can be fed
daily per cow to advantage, as Avith
this feeding we seem to obtain not
only the nutritive* value of the en-
silage, but also its condimental value
in inihiencing the appetite of the an
imal.
Fruit Treks.—The groAvtli of
weeds round fruit trees recently plant
ed does them much injury, and not
oniy diminishes the fruit hi size but in
quality. The Germans, Ave have seen
it stated, to prevent thi.-, spread on
the ground round the young trees the
refuse stalks of tlax after the fibrous
part has been separated, and this
-gives them surprising vigor. No
w-ee.i will grow under tlax refuse, and
tiie earth is kept fresh and loose, old
trees, Avhen treated in the same way,
A'"iH recover and push out vigorous
shoots. There may be some special
virtue in the refuse flax stalks, but
avc doubt if it is any better for this
purpose than refuse and decayed
straw, and leaves of trees of anv kind.
1 lie great object is to keep the ground
loose and moist. Any kind of straw
Awll answer for this purpose. Leaves
are not so good, as the Avind dries
them and blows them away. Straw
•of any kind is much the best, but no
matter Avith what they are mulched
home earth or weights should be used
to keep the mulching in place. A
a omig tree <lone in this Avay will furn-
, ftmit if not sooner much more
abundantly and of finer quality than

a fair inference that bad water is not
