On the Importance of pure water for
stock, and its nutrtiousness, the Amer

Pure water is great luxury to the
palate of thirsty horse, and every man
who is fortunate enough to be the owner
of 50 noble an animal, should see that the
wants of the same are properly provided
for
Unfortunately very few persons real
ize the importance of supplying domes.
tic animals with pure water yet they
stand in need Of it, whenever thirsty, as
q matter of profit to ourselves and chart
" to them, we should see that their wants
are we'll supplied.
Pure water is very nutritious, and as
a nutritious agent its value is impaired
when of inferior quality, or when mixed
with indigestible foreign substances, such
as is found in watering troughs located
by the wayside.
Some very interesting experiments
have lately been made on horses belong
ing to the French army. in view of test
ing their endurance as regards their de-
privation of water, and it was found that
some lived twenty-five days on water
alone it is singular fact that seventy
five per cent Of the weight of horse S

Glutlons and dyspepucs have always
been instructed by intelligent physicians
to eat slowly, and masticate the food we'll,
and thoroughly incorporate the same with
the saliva, to secure good digestion and
a uniform appetite.
The rule holds good with hogs, and
should be early taught and enforced, both
for the advantage Of the pig and its own
er. Everybody knows that pig cloyed
in early youth with strong food, greedily
eaten, becomes dyspep,ic, and never does
well after. Now say to your pig, "learn
to eat slow. and all other graces will fol-
low in their proper places" Perhaps
many good farmers will say it can't be
DONE" Nothing easier. Give the wean-
ed pig at six or eight weeks old, in a
clean trough, half teacupful of dry
shorts or bran, and after his dry food is
all eaten, give him his drink, and in
crease the dry shorts according to his
age and appetite till three months old,
then add one-half Indian meal for two
months, and then dry Indian meal till
fattened sufficiently. l have followed
this plan for five years past with success.
l have two pigs, now five months old,
that are fed one quart of Indian meal
each, three times day, which take half
an hour to moisten and swallow, and this
quantity, with the Stops and dishwater,
GALL of which they take after their meal,
will carry them 600, dressed, at six and
half months old. At one year old the
same breed weigh 400. One at nine
months old weighed 375. l have SOW
that has brought me 1875 pigs, and will

How TO SELECT FLoUR.-First, look at
the color: if it is white with a slightly
yellowish or straw colored tint, buy it.
If it is very white, with blueish cast,
or with black specks in it. refuse it.
Second, examine its adhesiveness wet
aud knead little of it between your
fingers, if it works soft and sticky, it is
poor. Third, throw little lump Of dry
flour against dry, smooth, perpendicu
lar surface if it falls like powder, it is
bad. Fourth, squeeze some of the flour
in your hand, if it retains the shape Civ
en- by the pressure, that, too, is good
sign. Flour that will stand all these
tests. it is safe to buy. Those modes
are given by old flour dealers, and they
pertain to a matter that concerns every
body. namely, the staff of life.

IMPURE BLOOD.

The blood is the life and when any foreign
or unhealthy matter gets mixed with it, it is at
once distributed to every organ of the body.
Every nerve feels the poison, and all the vital
organs quickly complain. the stomach will
not digest the food perfectly. The liver ceases
to secrete a sutficieney of bi lie. The action of
the heart is weakened, and so the circulation is
feeble. The lungs become clogged with the
poisonous matter hence, a cougE-lnd all from
slight impurity at the fountain head of life
the Blood 7 AS if you had thrown some earth,
for instance, in pure spring, from which ran
tiny rivulet, in a few minutes the whole course
of the stream becomes disturbed and discolored.
AS quickly does impure blood fly to every part,
and leave its sting behing. All the passages
become INSTRUCTED, and unless the obstruction
is removed, the lamp of life soon dies out
