To Stop Blbedikg. — Asa Kemper, of Rosa 

 county, Ohio, writes to the American Agriculturist 

 that bleeding from a wound on man and beast, 

 may be stopped by a mixture of wheat flour and 

 common salt in equal parts, bound on with a 

 cloth. If the bleeding be profuse, use a large 

 quantity, say from one to three pints. It may 

 be left on for hours, or even days if necessary. 

 In this manner he saved the life of a horse which 

 was bleeding from a wounded artery ; the bleed- 

 ing ceased in five minutes after the applic^ition. 

 It was left on three days, when it worked loose, 

 was easily removed, and the wound soon heal-
