f-,-.-r Tobacco. .'.in fssiH

The greatest difference arises from tho man.
ner Of smoking. Those who use clean. long
pipes OF clay feel only the effects Of tho gase-
ous bodies and tho free carbon. Wooden
pipes and pipes with glass stems arc injuri.
GUS. Cigars smoked to tho end are most in.
furious Of all. r1 e's - -aii..
Tho effects of moderate and immoderatc
smoking on tho organs of the body wero stat
ed to be as follows LIN an adult man. who
Is tolerant of tobacco, moderate smoking
say to tho extent of three clean pipes OF the
midler forms of pure tobacco in the twenty.
four hours-does no great harm. 1t some.
what stops waste, and soothes; but there
arc times when IL unsettles the digestion.
To an immodente degree-say to six or eight
pipes day, especially il strong tobacco and
ine pipes be used-smoking is unquestiona-
bly, very Injurious to the animal functions.
The blood is made too fluid; the hillary 90.
crction is arrested and the digestion is con.
stantly dcranged /; there is dryness OF the
tongue and frequent nausea. On the heart
the symptoms ore very marked. They con-
sist of palpitation, o sensation as though the
heart were rising upwards, o feeling OF
breathlessncss, and, in bad cases, of severe
pain through the chest, extending through
the upper limbs. The action Of the heart ia
intermittent. and faintness may be expert.
enced. Extreme smoking is also very injuri.
GUS to the organs of sense. In all invoterate,
constant smokers, the pupils of the eye are
dilated. owing to tho absorption of nicotine,
and the vision is impaired in strong light ;
but the symptom which most of oil affects
the vision is tho retention of images on the
retina after the eye is withdrawn from them.
Thus, II he turn his eyes from window,
he retains the impression of the window, the
the panes seeming rod md the bars dark.
When such pictures are seen for some min.
utes, the smoker may be assured that he has
carried his indulgence out Of the pale Of safe
ty. On the sense ofhearing inveterate smok::
ing produces disturbances these consist Of
restless deafness, and ringing or whistlng in
the ears. Tho circulation OF the brain Is al
so sometimes disturbed and giddiness and
vertigo are produced. The muscles, after ex.
trems smoking ,are prostrated Long smok-
lag a'so affects the mucous membrane OF the
mouth, causing "smokcr's sore throat" !"
There arc also other effects occasionally pro.
duced in the mouth viz, sponginess OF the
gums and tartar on the teeth. On the whole
however, smoking does not injure tho teeth.
These arc the worst effects Of tobacco they
all point to functional disturbance. The
question remains whether worse effects ever
follow from over.indulgence in smoking.
The great effect of tobacco is to arrest the
functional processes on which growth and
development depend. To the whole body Of
tho growing youth, therefore, the act Of
smoking is decidedly deleterious. DR.. Rich
ardson could not dwell too forcibly on this
point. Ho did.not say thar any one partic-
lllar disease was brought on, but that q gen.
eral deficiency Of power was induced.

Tools.

On every farm there should DO suitable
buil,lng for the shelter and security OF the i'm.
plements used in It's cultivation. The actual
cost of such n building Is trivial In comparison
To its Importance, rs il may be rendered highly
useful for other purposes, when not required
for the protection Of tools. IL may be made
20 answer many purposes,-to house all the
smaller implements and tools OF the farm,-to
accommodate n bench for carpenter work,
where many repairs may be made, both in wood
work and in the harm harness. place to clean
and oil harness, for dressing poultry. pre-
serving seeds, cutting up hogs and beef, coop
cring" barrels In applc and potato harvest, and
for many other things to which IL will DO most
admirably adapted. OF course, such q building
should be well boarded and olapboarded, and
be furnished with stove 30 that II may be
made comfortably warm during cold weather.
II Is really matter. not only OF great in-
convenience, not to have such building on
the farm, but n matter OF actual loss, in the
.'long run" Some farmers who are emulOus
Of being thought good farmers, and who arc
really deserving Of high praise for their sys-
tematic and economical management in other
matters, annually lose much more from the
want of such building than the interest on its
cost. and to which may be added the loss on the
implements of the farm by unnecessary expos
ure. Wheels and carts, rs well as drars, roll
ers, harrows and plows, are often left out dur.
ing the winter or protected with only n cover
Ing Of loose boards. And the summer expos
ure, when the implements are not in use, Is
worse, if anything. than the winter exposure.
The hot sun shrinks and cracks the wood work,
leaving il open at every crack and joint 70 re-
ceive the next shower, 50 as TO keep upa con.
tinual shrinking and swelling so long as the
implements is exposed. The paint and yarnish
is also materially affected, 50 that the loss by
unnecessary exposure Is greater than that oc-
oasioned by the use Of the tools.
This is poor economy. Many OF the imple-
ments required by the farmer are expensive.
especially those which have more recently been
invented and introduced, rs reapers,
seed sewers. horse rakes, tedding machines,
&c, to expose which to the inclemencics ot the
weather of either summer or winter Is evidence
of A want OF both system and economy. No
wonder tnat farming is thought Improbable by
persons who allow such exposure
A building Sufficiently capacious to aaor'i all
the accommodations to which we have alluded.
necl not necessarily be q very expensive affair.
Much Of the work might be done by the owner.
such as the preparation Of the foundation and
most of the building materials, which could
be gradually collected from the farm ITSELF
With a single years use Of such building, IL
would be thought Indispensable to the farm
