The Herald Of Health declares that sleep

" EJLL " IL AMI
THE Herald Of Health declares that sleep
after di ner is unhealthy, and that ten
minutes dOze before eating is the thing.
If you wish to increase the size and
prominence of your eyes, just keep an ac-
count Of the money you spend foolishly,
and add it up at the end of the year.
1T is certainly a curious chemical fact
that the substances required to form COM
mon table salt are both of them poisonous
chlorine and sodium. No one can use
either of these articles separately with
SAFE Y, and yet combine them, and they form
a substance necessary to health, AID one
found upon every table.
DANDY PUDDING.-Beat four eggs sep
arately. To the yolks add two table
spoonfuls of flour and one quart of milk
bring this to a boil. Sweeten and flavor
to the taste-put four teaspOonfuls of
sugar and flavor to the whites-beat very
stiff; drop over the custard and brown.
Eat cold without sauce.
CIDER-Hea1M and Home says the hes
way to keep new cider sweet is, after the
fermentation has ceased, to rack the cider
OFT into clean barrels, and keep them full
and in cool place. Cider cannot well be
kept upon draught and remain sweet unless
used up very rapidly. partly-fillcd bar
rel has a large surface of the liquid exposed
to the air, and it will sour or become
" hard " in Il short time. The best way is
to bottle the cider.
SETTING SHADE TREEs-Novcmber is
often favorable month f0r transplanting
the elm and the maple. Dig the hole of
ample breadth and depth, bring to its mar
gin a load of good loam Then bring the
tree dug in some woodland, shorn of Its
branches, and place its roots in the rich
earth, and twenty years from now you will
thank us for suggesting the little outlay of
time which the transaction will require
ErchdHge.
PAY SMALL DEBTs.-Small bills should
be promptly pail. The men to whom they
are due generally need the money. The
little bills are the ones that make number
less gaps in the world of business How
much comfort to families, cheer to de-
spending business men, and encourage
ment generally, would be given by the i'm.
mediate discharge OF all little, aud perhaps
halt-forgotten obligations. Pay small
debts, and do il at once.
KEEP MILKING-The practice of milk
ing but once each day, where COWS give
but little late in the year, is a bad one
They shrink much faster, and ifyoung, the
habit of not holding out" is found to the
owners subsequent cost They should be
MIXED, as long as they are MIXED at all
twice each day, and if well fed and well
/ stabbed, the process may safely and profit
ably be continued up to within six weeks
of their calving.-Hedrth and Home

! every day use, the most economical gait for
a horse is fast walk and yet not half the
/ thought is given to this essential that there
/ is TO other things that secure to q horse a
name rather than intrinsic value. Colts
can be taught to walk fast by following
them for half day together (some one
leading) with q small switch, starting them
when inclir to go slow into a quicker
pace. After they are harnessed, keep fast
walking in mind, and when on level
ground, or going up a hill with a light
load, urge them to their utmos: until four
miles an hour becomes q babit-Mdrth

sweet cream over the stove in the fafina
kettle, and while heating toast thin slices
OF stale bread quickly on both sides, tax
