We have had some ex perience with this fearful malady, in our own family, and venture to detail our course of treatment, hoping that it may be the means of alleviating the s-utTcrinrs " some Victims of this - a . trriLla disease; D.:r.tfi.cr;acome3 , tliat it ia nel strap attached to it' to -pass over the headland part over the ears and under, the chin should be 'rather broad arid kept wet; sprinkling dry, fine salt between the skin and th& bandage is useful, and may be applied as often as the .bandage" is changed.

Vomiting In this disease is dangerous, if not fatal.- Whenever the patient was restless or feverish, we sponged the body with te. pid water; -and if the head was pain ful or the patient was delirious, we ap plied cold wet clothes to the forehead and crown of the head, keeping the feet warm by wrapping in flannel or applying bottles cf hot water. We kept the atmosphere humid, by keeping an open kettle of water con stantly boiling in the room. , We are convinced that this is very useful, and in a measure relieves 'the suffocating sensation attendant upon-this disease, and otherwise mitigates it3 severity, under the aboye management, our four children were convalescent . within nine days, from the attack, but did not fully recover their strength for sever we e k s Abby ; Millard. -Iowa Home stead, ' ' - - Cause of Wheat Blastln A correspondent of an eastern pa per says:- ... lam well satisfied that the preced ing crop has little to do in causing the blast; bad seed is in general the cause.

The larg est, best matured wheat "coming off first. ' :-: ' '-: ; iThat smut is produced by the use of seed not fully matured can be easi ly, proved. . Take, a few. bundles of No. 1 wheat in the early dough state, sowit, and it will, produce a glorious, ctop of .smut but take, from the same; wheat when fully, ripened, and sow it either-after oats," corn, or clover, and 'the "wheat will' 'be good.' Defective grain is only able to produce a stalk and start the grains, but not to finish, it. Put such grain into a solution of blue stone and in a few hours the germ is i dead; good, grain will resist the power. of the .acid' for a day or two. The only benefit to be derived from soaking wheat in bluestone is, it dc stroys the germ of such grains a3 were not fully' ripened. . 'I , ' .

Twankay is the name of a small plant. Twankaj is the name of a small riv er, in the region where it is bought. Congo is from a term signifying la bor, from the caro required in its preparation. IIlTlng Swarms. I have found it very advantageous, when hiving natural swarms, tosprin kle the cluster well with suar-water, four or five minutes before shaking down. I invariably do this when the cluster is accessible, or can be reach ed by means of a ladder. I pour the suzar'water Into a tin basin, and u3e a common wisp or hand-brush for a sprinkler. This unexpected shower of. sweets is an acceptable treat to the bees; molifying their tempers, and rendering . them exceedingly tractable during the subsequent operations. If sufficient time is allowed after the sprinkling, for. them to gorge them selves, few will be disposed to fly or sting. , .... ..Sprinkling with sugar -water may also he resorted to is hen the swarm issues before, the . beekeeper ha3 had time to prepare a hive in readiness for .

For one hundred pounds meat, take 8 gallons of water, 9 pounds of salt half fine and half coarse,- 3 pounds of coarse sugar, 1 qt molasses, 3 oz. of saltpetre,, 1 . oz. potash. , Put the above ingredients into a kettle and bjoil it, taking of, the scam. As soon as the scum ceases' to rise, take it off, and pour it.iu the barrel on the meat. The meat' should be rubbed with fine salt before packing in the barrel. By adding a few - ounces of whole black pepper, cloves, alspice, and cinnamon, superior flavored ham is obtained. The spices to be added the brine after it is skimmed, and boiled a few min utes.

Mr. Editok: On account of these hard timesand the high price of coffee, I,' as 'well 'as my neigtbors, have been compelled teTesort to substitute. happened, by chance, to come across some Gumbo or Okra seed, which my neigh bor had raised in hi3 garden merely as an ornamental plant. I remembered seeinc tn a newsDaDer some seven or - - ; o . eicrht -vears before, that Okra or Gumbo o; J . - possessed the properties of coffee; so I obtained a few seeds to try it, though with little faith. I found it better than I hA eTDected. I never could have told , r i difference by the U3te or effect. sicier it as good a substitute for coffee, as Sorghum'is for molasses, and a3 easy raised as beaD3.;' t)kra i3 a large strong growing stalk, much like the castor bean.
