A CURE FOR WARTS. 
Try this remedy for warts: Saturate the warts every few days with pure castor 
oil and they will disappear, leaving the surface as smooth as though they were 
never there. We have known of several cases where warts were removed from 
the nose of colts by simply rubbing them with lard occasionally. 
THE RUSSIAN WOLF-TRAP. 
Fro the Agricultural Journal of the Cape of Good Hope we take the following 
suggestion for a trap which would seem to be adopted for catching wallabies. 
The illustration will show the mode of its construction and operation :— 
The following further particulars are from the Adelaide Observer, the traps 
being recommended for catching foxes :—* 
Tn constructing the trap the bed piece marked A. is laid firmly on the ground. 
Then proceed to place the four stakes that must be pointed to drive into the 
ground to keep the fall piece marked B in position. Lay Bon A with a piece 
of timber the size of the wrist, as shown at X (Fig. 1). Then secure the tops of 
the stakes, C C C C, with pieces of hay-tie, or any string or wire that has no smell 
about it. Then proceed to lay on the two bearers, D D, to hold the loading 
marked E E &, provide the loading, and you are prepared to set the trap. 
The trigger is the next consideration. It is simple and easy to construct 
with a pocket-knife out of a branch the size of a whipstick, and with the bark 
on, as it is less conspicuous in that way. F G H is the trigger in three pieces. 
Determine the intended height of the trap between A and B at the position of 
TRIGGER.
