From the ValleT Farmer,
Snake Cites. . i "
I find upon inquiry that the meat relia
Lle remedies for the cure. of Hydropho
bia and the bite of venomous reptiles are
similar. The virous in both cases seems
i be Frussic Acid, and thi most efTectaal
neutralizer of this is tbe vchtile alkali
Ammonia. The cure rests in the'neu
rf poison until the vis na-

the characteristic of Ammonia.
An Eastern Medical man, on reading
the account of the death of Purnell Jack
son, of. Maryland, from, the r bite cf a.
Copper Snake, says : ''In nearly'all parts
of the country, where venomous snakes
are known, there can be found persons
who can cure their poisons. I will not
detail these various curatives, but will
give a perfect cure for the poisons of all
venomous reptilea and iiaects, first giving
the reasons why the remedy I shall men
tion is an unfailing curative. '.From in
vestigation for years I am quite positive
that the poisonous principle in the virus of
all snakes, ' is prussic acid- somewhat
modiCed, no doubt, but sa essentially blen
ded, and identical with it,. tHat what will
neutralize this acid is an antidote to the
poison. This antidote .is the volatile al
kali, Ammonia. , ' '
This is found in the. shops under va
rious names Volatile Salts, used in la
dies' smelling bottles, Aqua Ammonia and
Spirits of Ammonia. - ' ' ' ,
The writer continues: ''As 'soon as
possible after tne bite, apply a few drops
of the Aqua Ammonia to the wound, and
put twenty drops in a little water, or whis-i
key and water, if you please, and drink
it. Take this dose every ten to thirty
r.vnutes, vnv.l there is free perspiration,

This antidote is perfect and . unfailing.
The writer recommends the same treat
ment for the .bite of mad dogs. ' "I should
at once fill tho wound (bile of a mad dog)
with the strong Aqua Ammonia, and keep
the wound discharging with it for some
weeks, at the same time giving it inter
nally, so as to thoroughly impregnate the
system with it." , , ,.-s.
Dr. Charles L. Barnett.'an intelligent
and experienced physician, of Montgom
ery county, Virginia, relates the follow
ing case, which is but one of many in
his practice:
A young lady, and delicate female,
eged eighteen, residing in the mountain
ous regions of Virginia,. wfnt out with
a party of friends after . berries. Find
ing the ground very slippery, they put
off. their shoes. Arrived at the top of
the mountain, she separated from her
companions, and was soon after.bitten by
a rattlesnake on the foot. After -walking
a few steps, and beginning to suffer
great pain, she sat down to apply a' liga
ture "below the knee, and found herself
unable to rise. Her comrads, hearing
her cries, came to her assistance, and
while one of them was sent for me, the
others prepared a litter to carry her home
My residence was distant twelve miles."
On returning with the messenger; I met
the company at the foot of the hill, one
mile from the young lady's home. The
patient was perfectly blind and speechless;
all voluntary motion gone; not the slight
est ability to move a finger or toe; eyes
thoroughly bloodshot, weeping bloody
water; a bloody fluid issuing from the
ears; gums tleeding; tongue not - much
swolen.but hanging one and a half inch
es out of the mouth, and blood froth is
suing from the throat, I
Mixing fifteen or twenty drops of the
Volatile spirits of Ammonia in a gill of
water. I poured it little by little down the
throat, the difficulty of swallowing being
of course very great. This wai contin
d in small doses from half past one in
the afternoon, until ten at night, when
she was able to swallow freely and had
regained her sight and senses. -She was
then directed to take fifteen drojs in wa
ter every fifteen minutes until six o'clock
the next morning. From that line I or
dered twenty drops of the remdy to be
taken three or four times a day, tor fif
teen days, and the bathing of the foot'
which was black, and much swollen, three
times a day in the ammonia diluted. Un
der this treatment she was soon radically
cured." 1
I know a case which happened to a boy
living near Frederick in Maryliud. 'He
was bitten on the ankle by a copperhead;
The whola leg, in a few minutes,' was
swollen almost beyond credibility, -Thi
case was cured effectually by the applica
tion of Indigo and Whiskey tothe affec
ted part, and by the patient drinking of
hogs's lard freely. . i .
But the Rum or Whisky treatment has
its warm advocates. I will content-myself
with but one authority Dr. T. A.
Achison. An account of lhf case I shall
allude to. can be found in the Southern
Mfdiral Journal : A' ' -
Dr. A. ' found the you 117. lady almost
moriltound. ptiUe wavy and scarrf ly pfr -

; The only thing thai can give tone and
elevation; a right defection and a .useful
result, to this recognition and exercise of
the rights and powers of the mass, is ecU
ucation widespread universal education.
Along with the knowledge of their pow

equally important knowledge, of. its; prop

so much to be dreaded as that of the mul

ness of the people in their first struggle
for liberty. It was blind Sampson gras
ping the pillars of the rhiliitians, bow
ing himself in his giant 'strength, and
bringing ruin and death upon all beneath.;
And even in : her more recent struggle,
behold the upheaviug power, untempered
and unguided by .light ! At one moment
rising in their might, the people sweep
away every vestige of the throne: then
they shout "Long Live .the Republic,"
and the very next moment rush into the
arms cf despotism! ; A
The growth and development of our
bodily powers are not . effected without
care and exercise. The physical dwarf
is an anomaly singular among his spe
cies. He attracts our attentionawak
ens oar sympathies. The law.' and the
right of .physical development are .insep
arable from capability. Just so of the in
tellect. The very fact that it is univer
sal, and universally capable of growth',
development, maturity, fully establishes
the designs of the God of . Nature. , It
demonstrates universal education to be
the want and the right of man.
The endowment of mind I mean na
tive', pure, bright hopeful intellect is not

' Brooa Corn.
A correspondent .recently enquired of
us relative'to raising Broom Corn, and the
most profitable manner to use it. A wri
ter in "the "Rural New Yorker," gives
seme information, from hi3 own experi
ence in both raising ana manufacturing,
which is just to the point. He says:
In the first place, you. may have your
ground in good order, always bearing in
mind that you cannot have it too rich nor
tco clean. - Azy soil that will raise" good
Indian Corn will raise good broom corn.

seed! ia a plct, every eighteen iucn- j
ei, cover lightly with melow earth, set-j
ting your "foot on the hill to finish it off,
When it is fairly up, thin out to six or
eight -'plants to a' bill hoeing" around
the hill and giving it a little plaster
then go through with the cultivator, tak
ing care rot to cover up the plants, which
will be but very small aflaiig for three
weeks after'- making their appearance.
Repeat the cultivating again insboutten
days( and when the plants are about six
inches , high, cultivate and hoe again,
drawing' the earth around thts hilis a lit
tla.' -'This- will be all that is necessary,
unless your land is very foul, in which
case you will have to go through again
with the cultivator or plow, as it is folly
to think cf raising corn and we : is in th :
same ground.
Brush cut green makes the best brc . r.s
and it-will be fit when the hard, cr j-nc-tion;of
the fiber and stalk, of fr early all

.'a, and t i brush spread out over the
mows, or anywhere else undercover, to
dry, keepirg the tops one way, so thai it
can be easily dried up again . and atcred
away; in snug piles until wanted. The
stalks when creen are cf some value,
either to cut and dry for winter use, or
to turn the cattle into it to pick at stand
ing. If, on the other hand, you wish to save
the seed, you may let it stand until the
seed is filled but not until the brush is
dead ripe ;J then break down and cut as
before, taking the brush to the barn and
scraping the seed off Spread it out on
tne tarn rioor, to dry, when you must
- t " w e
give it an itxe air you can, and shorel it
over occasionally to prevent heating.
Sometimes I spread the brush out to dry
with the seed on, but it is heavy and bul
ky, and the brush is not smooth as when
scraped at first, and is much harder to
scrape. ' '
I make a machine to scrape with in
the following manner; Take an old
fanning mill, a new set of wheels in a
strong frame, so hat you could useabal-
acc3-wdeel wouldt be better, pjt 01 two
plank wheels, in place of the fans, then
take slats of the length yon wish to make
your cylinder, three incheswideand three
fourths of; an inch thick, hollow them a
little at the ends so as to fit the wheels;
drive eight or ten wrought nails through
each slat, and nail thera to the wheels,
with the points out, in suoh e way that
the . nails will not be in straight rows
around the cylinder, but bristling all
over. One to turn the crank pretty fast,
one to hold on to the brush in handfuls,
and a boy to haul it up, will scrape two
or three wagon leads a day.
ne ton; to three acres is considered
good crop, a d is worth about S100 per
ton, though I have paid as high as S150
for if A. ton . of dry brush will make
130 dozen brooms. I have raised sixty
bushels of ripe seed to the acre, and for
horses, sheep or poultry, it is worth a
little more than oats.
' The stalks, when left until the seed is
ripe, is of very little value, being tough
and woody. Almost any one with a little
experience, could make passable brooms.
The best machines for the purpose are
made at Schenectedy. A winder and
press costs -S30. Good broom twine is
also made there.
The above is intended not for those
who wish to go into the business on a
large scale, but for farmers lik myself
who can rtise an acre and make it up in
the winter.
As a general rule it is most economi
cal to buy the beit articles. The price is
of course, always a little higher, but
good articles always spend best. It is a
sacrifice of money to buy psor flour, su

&c, to say nothing of the in urious effect
upon the health.

When using steam of very hih pres
sure, Dr. Alban converted 8 to 10 lEs. of
water into steam of from 600 lbs. to SCO
lbs. pressure per square inch, with 1 lb.
cf coals. He also found when using steam
of the great pressure of forty atmospheres
600 lbs on the square inch that he did
not use one-eighth part of the grease ne
eessary when working at low pressure,
and he found as a general result cf his ex
perience that the packing of low pressurt
engines required much more lubrication
than high pressure. He once worked an
engine for the sake of experiment at a
pressure of 1000 lbs. on the square inch,
and it was found that under this tremen
dous pressure the engine itself remained
penectly arm and steam-tight. Th pack
ing for the piston and glands cf th-3 en
gine was common hemp gasket, which re
tained tne steam perfectly well.
