Economy in Food.

The great advance In all prices of food,
compes our people TO study economy in the
supply Of their tables-a thing we have not
been accustomed to in this country. Halls
Journal Of Health gives the following table
of tho amount OF nutrition and time OF d.
gestion Of tho most common. articles OF food.
and Introduces some comparisons as to tho
cheapness Of different articles. As matter
of fact these figures vary with individuals,
and with thesame individual In different con-
d tons Of the body. Food Is not we'll digest.
cd that Is not agreeable to the taste, and fa-
vor Is quite as important an element as the
quantity of nourishment in q given article,
in estimating the amount Of nutriment actu-
ally to he derived from It. What Is not ac-
ceptablc to the palate Is not appropriated by
the system. Besides, something more than
nutriment Is required, and diet confined to
the most nutritious articles would soon pro-
duce disease. The stimulus of meats. the
bulk and fragrant juices Of roots and fruits,
and the carbon OF butter and fat are all re-
quisite to healthy diet and that Is not &c.
onomical. whatever the cost In money, that
does not keep the body in its best condition
The appetite Of the healthy il the best guide
iu the matter. Nevertheless. with 30 wide
u variety of good things to select from there
may no economy used In supplying the table,
and the facts and figures given below may
prove useful.

AMI when my fslntlng heart
The Ripening Corn.

How sweet 20 walk through the wheatlsnds brown,
When the tesming fAtness of Heaven drops down
The waving crop With Its bursting ears,
A sea of gold on the earth appesrsi
No longer robed In a dress OF green,
With tawny faces the fields are seen,
A sight more welcome and joyous FAR
Than hundred biood.won victories are.
Beautiful custom was that or old,
Whom the Hebrews brought, with Joy untold,
The earliest ears OF the ripcning corn
And LAID them down by the affairs horn,
When the priesthood waved them before the Lord
While the Giver Of harvest all hearts sdoredi
What gifts more suited eould man impsrt
To express the dow Of his grateful hearth
A crowd awaits meath the cottage caves,
T0eut the corn and bind the sheaves,
Al length Is heard the expected sound
Put In the sickle, the corn is drowned
And tho reapsrs go forth with as bllthe . soul
As those who Joined the 0lympian goal;
And sorrowless hearts and voices come
To swell the shouts of the harvest home.
And there Is q reaper on earth we'll known,
Whose deeds are traced on the burial stones
He carries a sickle more deadly and keen
Than e'er on the harvest Geld Was seen,
He cuts down the earliest ears in spring.
As we'll ss the ripest that time can bring;
The tares he gathers to flames are driven,
The wheat Is laid In tho garner OF heaven.

MARKING SnEEP.-David Street. Of Ohio,
gives the following directions II first used
turpsntine. linseed oil and lamp-black, stamp
ing my initials on each sheep; in few
weeks not mark was legibls. next tried
boiling tar. keeping it hot by placing the
vessel containing it in kettle Of Goals. This
was lcgible until the fleece was removed. |
tried Venitian red and lnseed oil, which soon
became obli,erated. Lastly | tried coal or
gas tar, which makes distinct and durable
mark. Mark ewes ON the side, wethers on
the shoulder, and bucks on the rump. Some
times stamp with my initials cut in block
Of soft wood: also use stamp cut in circu'
lar TORN. making ring; and when in a hur.
~ use the large end OF corn cob. making
one. two or three spots near together. BY
marking sheep of different ssxes on different
prrts of the BODY, il facilitates the Asserting
of flock. Last spring, marked all my
breeding ewes with copper labels, bearing
number stamped upon the face, suspended
from the ear by wire ring; hut several OF
them ars now missing. having been torn
