AGRICULTURE. OURE FOR WoUNDs AND SoRs.-In the treatment of wounds and sores I in animals diluted carbolle acid is invaluLa ble. in hot weather it often occurs that a wound cannot be cured because of having become putrid and flybi own when gangrene sets in and the an imal is lost. Carbolic acid can be admin istered with an almost certainty of af feeting a cure. It keeps a wound in a healthy state and enables nature to heal it. When putridity has com menced this acid will at once destroy the germs of decomposition and purify tile wound. It has also been applied with equal effect in cases of scab and footrot in sheep for a minute or so in water containing one-fiftieth part of carbolic acid. This is done after the sheep is shorn. It is not necessary for this purpose to procure the pure acid, as a cheaper preparation answers equally as well. The foot rot is treated with a mixture of the acid with some greasy substance and coal tar, capable ot forming a plaster of such consistency as will adhere to the animal's foot for two or three days, and thus prevent the air from striaing in and destroying the offet of the ap plication. Where there are many of a flock so affected a more expeditious method Is to separate such from the rest of the lock, place the fluid mix ture in the bottom of a trough and cause the disabled ones to pass through it slowly. This may be a good deal of trouble, but one who has a care for his flock, and- knows the value of such care will hardly begrudge the labor. BUTTIa 1fAKING.-Keep only those cows that yield butter of good color, flavor and texture. There are some cows from which no one can get good butter. Feed only good food, the best for butter being early cut timothy and clover hay, and corn meal, and give only pure water. Observe the most scrupulous cleanliness in the stable and dairy. Keep the co-vs In good health and contented. Use a churn that brings the butter in thirty in utes. Keep the temperature of the . milk and creani as near sixty degrees as possible, and churn the cream when only slightly sour. Work the butter milk out of the butter with the ladle, and not wvIth the hands. If water ia used it should be pure and cold. The butter should be cut or gashed in working, not "plastered'' or Ilattened out. oe ounce of pure dairy salt should be tued for each pound of but ter at two woi kings, with an intorval (f twelve hours between ibe iworking, for immediate Use malny prefer salt.) Pack at once in a sweet, cleani oak firkin or pail, and cover with a layer of salt until the next packing is laid down. When the firkin 9 illed I I sbould be headed up airtight an(1 set in a cool, dry, sweet cellar. The rest will be learit by experlience. MULEs ON TuxC FAIM.--SomelC way or other, mules for work on the farm are 4 no0t iippreclated by the agricultural community. Why it is so 11, one caln I tell. it (loes not cost but little over half as much to feed grain to mules, 4 as it dees horses, as they require so 4 much less and remain in good order, arid as tar as work Is concerned a span of mules will (10 a1s much and pro ably more work thaii a span of horses tyn. 'They are Its gentle and as easIly hOaIdled as horses. It is true they are not, handsome, aid a few years ago they yere not as gentle, but the American imle is a great improve nient in every particular on his Sp~an Ish brother. 'They nre found to he so profitable by3 the farmers In the South that, it is seldom a span of horses can be found on a farm, but all the teams are composed of' mulies. There should be more of them in the North.

To GeT RID OF CoCKROACnBS.- A correspondent writes as follows: "I beg to forward you an easy, clean and certain method of era-licating these loithiso me insecota from dwelling houses. A few years ago my house wa, infested with cookroaches (or olooxs' as they are called here), and I was recommended to try cucumber peelings as a remedy. I accordingly, immediately before bed-time, strewed the floor of those parts of the house most infested with the vermin with the green peel out not very thin from the cucumber, and sat up half an hour later than usual to watch the effect. Before the expiration of the time, the loor where the peel lay was complete. ly covered with cockroaches, so much so, that the vegetable could not be seen,so voraciously were they engaged in sucking the polsonols inoisture rrom it. I adopted the same plan the rollowing night but my visitors were not so numerous-I should think not more than a fourth of the previous night. On the third night I did .not discover one; but anxious to ascer Lain whether the house was quite clear Df them, I examined the peel after I had laid it down about half an hour, ind perceived that it was covered with myriads of minute cockroaches, about ,ie size of a llei. I therefore allowed ;he peel to lie till morning, and from iat moment I have not seen a cook coach In the house. It Is a very old building; and I can assure you the bove remedy only requires to be Per levered in for three or four nights to 3ompletely eradlicate the pest.

The fol lowing results were obtained . 1, It was proved beyond all doubt that a horse can hold out twenty-five days without any solid nourishinent, provided it is supplied with suilloient and good drink ing water. 2. A horse can barely hold out for five days without water. 8. If a horse is well fed for ten days, but in sufficiently provided with water during the same period, it will not outlive the eleventl4 day. One horse, from which woter had been entirely withheld for three days, drank on the fourth day sixty litres of water within three min utes. A horse whioh received no solid nourishnent for twelve days was, nevertheless, in a condition on the twelfth day to draw a heavy load. Mlaine News.

Pooley (Arehives Ophthal. ,nology) reports some interesting et periments with the magnetic needle for detecting foreign substances in the eye. le conclude 1: 1. The presence of a steel or foreign body in the eye. when of considerable size, and situat ed near the surface. may be determin ed by testing for it winh a suspended magnet. 2. The presence and position or such a body may most surely be made out by rendering it a magnet by induction, and then testing for it by a suspended magnet. 3. The probable depth or the inclosed foreign body may be Inferred by the intensity of the action of the needle near the surface. 4. Any change from the primary postilon of the fortign body may be ascertained by caretully noting Ehe changes Indicated by the dellection of the needle.
