Dressing Wounds.?Every farmer is liable to have his entile wounded. Sometimes those wounds are dangerous from the loss of blood, or they leave unsightly swollingsor sears; it is therefore highly neee.isarv, that tltoy should understand t>- best moilo of dressing ihetn. The lirst tiling to be done is propefly to sncuro the animal, so that it shall not be able to injure the operator, then the wound should be carefully cleansed, anil every foreign subst.mce removed. If the wound bleeds profusely, especially if the blood flows in jets and is of a fiord color, il shows that an artery is wounded, and thia should be secured. The be.st mode to do this is, to apply a ligature to tne bleeding-, that is lieu small string round it if possible'. If.this can not be done, then take a wire about eight inches long, put on;>. end in a round stick for a handle, bend the other end about an inch from the extremity lilvo a hook, nut this in strument in a fire an" I heat it to a white heat ami then sear the mouths of the blueing \Vssels. tThis will <renerally stop the flow .of blood at once, 'The parts should now be cNiuninrd and the shape of tiro wound observcJ; then with a large needle, armed with a sirong thread well twisted and waxed, take a stitch including the parts about half an inch from the edges of the wound ; then lie in a bow if nnf 'i'lip first ciii^li clir>n!<-l lie taken in any angle or otac dyfurite point so that the parts mrTy b'S ilrawn exactly m 1 .... their original position; after this several stitcli"S may be taken an inch from each other. When they are all tied5 perhaps some part niijy not bo properly adjusted-; now untie t!:c bow knots and draw thorn tighter un*U the edges are in opposition. Next scrapo some lint from a ptoQC of coarse linen and cover the wound, which should be secured in its situation by a proper bandage.
