THE HOME DOCTOR.
For toothache, mix equal parts
of alum and powdered borax
Bee stings, mosquito or gnat
bites may be relieved by bathing
in borax water.
For croup, give an emetic and
a warm bath, and apply a sponge
wrung out of warm water to the
throat to ease breathing.
For a black eye, a cloth wrung
out of warm water and applied
frequently will prevent soreness
and discoloring of the skin.
Bleeding from the nose may be
stopped by holding the hands
over the head and putting ice to
the nose and back of the head.
For sprains, wrap the parts in
a flannel cloth wrung out of boil-
ing water, cover with a dry band-
age and give the parts absolute
rest for several days.
For bad bruises bathe with a
solution of tincture of arnica,
using two teaspoonfuls to a half
pint of water; or if this cannot be
easily obtained, use one part
vinegar to three parts of water.
In some cases of choking the
obstruction can be removed by
the finger; but failing in this, the
swallowing of some hard sub-
stance, eucb as a crust of bread
without mastication, will gener-
ally give relief.
For accidental poisoning, vom-
iting should at once be produced
to eject the poison from the
stomach. Mustard, salt water,
or an active emetic, any of thecn
will produce the desired effect.
For corns a homely and useful
cure is made by crushing some
washing soda and dissolving as
much as possible of it in hot wa»
ter. This may be bottled and
kept on the washstand and ap-
plied with a little brush.
For burns, linseed oil, glycer
ine and borax water, mixed to-
gether and freely applied, will
be found efficacious. A dressing
made of powdered borax moisten-
ed with cold water will prevent
pain or inflammation.
A harmless, inexpensive and
yet beneficial powder for profuse
perspiration is made from two
ounces of corn starch with one
dram each of boracic acid, alum
and salicylic acid. Duet this
over the ekm immediately after
bathing.
Pasture SHoultl Bt* ^appl<*ment<*il b?
a Dally Grain Ration.
Size counts for much hi all hones.
Therefore when it comes to tinning
colts and fillies out for the Hummer
care should be taken to see that they
are run on land strong eiough and
productive of grass enough to grant
them a good living, says Breeder's Ga-
zette. In order to make the utmost
profit out of b;"s horses the farmer
must gra>se the young things, but that
Is nofOo say that they may be let run
In one lield '.II summer long to the best
advantage- Whenever pasture gets
short it should be supplemented by oth-
er food. Resides this we do not tliluk
that grass Us at any time sufficiently
strong foodVo grow a horse to his ut-
most limit. U small grain ration of
oats and brark may be fed with profit
every day In tie year. If the land on
which the horstV are run and the grass
grown on it i.\ strong enough very
satisfactory galA in growth of body
and bone may beVnade on grass alone.
The point, howev*V is that the field on
which horses are Ipaxed should be in
good heart and carrying a verv full
bite. '
It Is well known that horses on the
grass are rather notional feeders and
will keep on eating away at that por-
tion of the forage wliliftjb suits them In
preference to going int-i other parts of
the field. This not infrequently results
In one part of the field being cropped
flown to the very roots wfaye the rest of
It carries what seems tiy be a good
growth of grass. Nevertoelesa the
horses will stick to the bare find almost
brown portion, with the rfssult that
they do not thrive. Therefore if there
Is only one part of a fteld\on which
horses will feed with pleasure the size
of that field for that use )is to be
gauged solely by the size of tttf portion
on which they desire to feedl When-
ever this is seen to be the cas'A an aug-
mentation of the ration by grsmn feed-
ing is desirable. i.
Furthermore a sheltered sheet is an
absolutely indispensable adjunct) to ev-
ery pasture in which horses ara' kept.
It need not be an expensive nffaV. hut.
It should l>o dark and airy so th;\t the
colts may enter in and get it way for a
time from the flies, which pestilentially
artooy the poor beasts from morn till
evening out in the field. A good (filed
will pay many times its cost even #ith
a few young horses each season.
Another thing to be looked out for in
the grazing of horses Is to have the w'a-
ter supply io. good shape. Nothing is
much harder on Colts than to have to
watle through the mud to get wherd
they must drink, and it is usual that
when they have to do that they do not
obtain water of the purify which
should be given them. Horses will not
do well on stagnant dirty water. They
should have their drink either from
living spring, running stream or deep
well.
Wanning Chilled l»l*s.
A Nebraska correspondent of Breed-
er's Gazette writes; I tried last month
warming chilled pigs by putting them
up to their necks in water nearly as
hot as I could bear my hand in it. I
read that shepherds do this with lambs.
It did the work when wrapping up in
a warm cloth and putting in an oven
had no effect.
£nttll«h With a French l'olish.
There are disadvantages attached to
wealth when one was not born to it oi-
ls slow in getting used to it. One that
Mr. Qttldsby found, says London An-
swers, was that the chef always sent
up the menu written in his own lau-
guage. French, to which the master of
the household was a stranger.
,-I should like to know what I'm eat-
ing for once, M. Alphonse," said Mr.
Quidsby to his chef on one occasion.
"Let us have the menu in English to-
day."
"Out, monsieur." was the reply. "It
ees ver' difficile, but I veel do it so if
you veel gif me ze dictiounaire."
A small but select party came to din-
ner that evening and were met with
the following bill of fare:
Soup at the tall of the calf.
Salmon In curl papers.
Chest of mutton to the HtUe peas.
Potatoes Jumped. •
Ducks savage at sharp sauce.
Charlotte at the apples.
Turkey at the devil.
Fruits variegated.
Quidsby and Mrs. Quidsby agreed
afterward that they had never presid-
ed over a more hilarious dinner party.

Jn»t For Toothache.
The blade of a digging hoe was sup-
ported horizontally on two bricks and a
tire kindled on the ground beneath it.
On the middle of the hoe was put a
small heap of the seeds of a red fruited
variety of eggplant, and over this was
inverted the half of a cocoanut shell
having a hole in the top. A piece of
bamboo was stuck on to the shell over
the hole by a lump of clay. As vapor
Issued from the bamboo tube the pa-
tient inhaled this by placing his Hps
to the top. Then he spat Into a bucket
of water, and then again Inhaled the
vapor. After a quarter hour's treat-
ment the patient and a friend said they
could sec the "toothache worm" in the
water.
And here's a modern Chinese recipe
for "painless extraction:"
Cook, well the bones of a rat, pul-
verize and apply to tooth. If it Is fore-
ordained that the tooth is to come out
this will bring It; if not, it will become
more firmly fixed than ever.—Sumatra

"When I coino into my landed estate
I'll bet nobody will put me out," said
a philosopher after listening to a tale
of woe by a friend who had recently
lost his place.in the country through
the foreclosure of a mortgage.
"Why, I didn't know you owned any
real estate."
"I don't now, but I am very positive
of having some later on. It will be a
very snug retreat, too—absolutely pri
vate, although in a populous neighbor-
hood. There will be several other ad-
vantages too. It will be free from
taxes, and I'll be exempt from jury
duty,"
"Isn't that fine! I congratulate you.
Wish I could inherit something like
that. Where is your place?"
"The grave."
The other man said nothing further
about the injustice of foreclosing mort-
gages.— New York Herald.

Any person who has watched the .ad-
vancement made by the leading beef
breeds during the last ten years can-
not help being impressed by the prog-
ress among the Oalloways, says Farm-
ers Advocate. After carefully viewing
the exhibit of this breed at St Louis
Hon. John Drjden, the well known
Canadian Khorthorn breeder, stated
that none of the leading beef breeds
had made as much improvement dur-
ing the last four years as has the Gal-
loways, This statement, coming as it
did from one of the best posted cattle-
men in America, should be carefully
considered by every persou who in-
tends starting in the pure bred cattle
business. The Galloway of today is a
low down, early maturing chunk of
beef. He adapts himself with equal
readiness to the luxuriant feed of the
middle states or to the continual war-
fare for existence upon the range.
So Profit In Scrub Cattle.
In these times of close margins on
beef cattle the best is none too good.
A cattleman says cut down the produc-
tion of young cattle half and make the
other half twice as good. Never buy
a scrub bull. Tbe pure bred bulls are
poor enough, but one has some assur-
