"Another child is the victim of -legiche; inherited, possibly, for well do we , ememlier what wc suffered with its tor- , ures ia our childhood.

But lately wc have earned all this work and exposure is , leenles". Wc simply wring a towel , n our sleeping room ready for such an smergency— wrap the limb In It from the intlo to the knee, without taking tbc child from liis bed, and then swa'tbo with dry flannels, thick and warm, lucking the blankets about him a little close, and relief is sure. "A croupy cough can often be loosenod and prevented by swathing the throat with dry. warm flannels; a thick pack of them to sweat the throal and chest often helps so speedily that it 1« not neccasary to sicken the child with Ipecac, or to wake the house kindling Ares and preparing hot packs."

FARM. Mrs. Mar* Treat, the weil-khown cn- j tomciogJid, wrllcs in the American Ag. j ■rirutturut tor October, prefatory to ber new enlarged volume on Injurious Insects of the Farm and Garden: I wish to aild my testimony in a few words, by way of preface. In faror of the various birds llift visit our gardens and orchards, in the capacity of helpers, they feed upon some of the most 'noxious Insects which we have to contact 'First and foremost among these helpIs the purple martin. It is the' general ibiprisai m that this bird takes iusecls ohly on' the wing, bq.t H docs more than this. . I saw numbers of them this past summer taking the rose-bug* from the grapevines. They swooped down circled around in cdmpanie*, bark again to the same vine, i ach oqe snatching off a byg as It panned. And not onthe rose-bug foils a victim to Its appetite, but It even stoops to take the Colorado p-rtato. beetle. Tills has been seen by others in onr town, as well as myself . Put up boxes for the martin-, and see that -the English sparrow does not get possession. The oriole i* another great helper. It knows how to jiull the bag-worm fr .ln case, and docs It systematically and rapidly. The Icnt-calerplllar and fall web-worm it also lias & liking for; it ruthlessly tears the tents and webs to Allow no gunner to sliool one of these beautiful, ga-ly drcsseil bird- on your choice is pining for a skeleton to perch For several years jiast tbc Irivcs of ■ our elm trees have twen ruined by Urn elm-beetle! IresCjesr 1 noticed ihe cedar bird devouring the beetle* and larvir. This year our elms are conqiaratively free from the pests. The leaves are scarcely Injured at all. and the cellar birds are obliged to look close to And a beetle. They lufm over the trees in ' small flocks. They Also destroy many ' many other Injurious creatures. This ' bird likes cherries- liaise enough for • them as well as for yourselves, and they - will pay you back with interest. The catbird and red-cycd vireo bo:k - cat the unsavory pear-slug. lint it is ' not necessary to mention the good scr1 birds, sucti as the robin, brown tbritsh, • catbird, bluebird, and wren, as nil ob > serving horticulturists arc aware of the ! gooa I boy do. Our winter birds arc also doing good work. Tbc seed -eating f ones pick up great quantities of the » seeds of noxious w< c.is. wlille our witpd. peckers,Joys, and rhlckadees are con1 slnntly on the lookout for hibernating I insects. Bpsrc and encourage the birds, luth winter and summer, about jour e home grounds and fields. > Where the grape rot has previously t- existed In vineyards it will be necessary '• to begin this . fall with tbc use o! the r lime and copperas solution in order to e destroy the i-ir'es. It will require two seasons to bee >nir rid of it In the vlne- * yards, and the solution should be used ' bo'h in Jbe fall and spring by sprinkling it freely around the vines, as well as n spraying It over them. The solution 1* (' a pound of copperas to four buckets ol * very thin whitewash. ■ House your Implements anil tools. r They cost considerable money if they are such tools and implements at a good n farmer ought to have. Can you afford not to shelter them ? They last twice «e

long If i In! lure. I and taken care of, as I tools and Implements should be- Can you afford to lose half their value by a neglect ? We know such advice, and f calling attention to the same, is old and t stale, hut If the suggestions arc good, it should not matter with you. Hundreds ( of thousands of dollars arc actually lost' 1 by the. farmers of the United Bute* an. t Dually . by neglecting to put their f.rming implements under cover when not 1 in use. It is the practice of somo to turn pigs t the orcliard, but there are some objrctions to Ibis. If the orchard be in t grass the pigs root the ground up so as I to make it very uneven, and si-gatbei-Ing time It Interferes whit the work of harvesting the apples; this, however, , 1* prevented by placing a ring In the nose of each pig. bat this is not pleasant, and should be avoided as a rule. .Sometimes pigs will get in the ' habit of gnawing the bark from the trunk of the trees, and thus do great injury, but tills is an exception to tho rule, unless the orchard is free from grass or the pigs are kept in during cold weather. t Tomatoes raised in light, rather poor toil in a sheltered or warm situation.. | are always sweet In favorable seasons, I while those raised in rich aoll or in , partial shade are always sour. A rank growth of foliage shades tho fruit den- f -ley and Interferes with the development - of the saccharine priuciplc. Again, tomatoes raised in porans, light soil ripen ' earlier than those raised In rich soil. | Tho fence corners are the pest-bolcs of the farm.
