Don't Eat Too Much

In order that we may rightly
comprehend the blessings Of this
life, it is absolutely necessary that
we should eat. If there is not pro-
vided for us a rational sutficiency of
nutriment, we will soon become
fraternally acquainted with the in
animate clod; that is, to speak
plainly, we shall die. If we eat too
much, should our days be prolonged
by frequent inspiration of medicine,
life will be to us a burden, grievous
and heavy to be borne.
On account of II edible iniqui-
ties do the doctors and apotheca-
ries greatly thrive; for we love life,
even should physicians be Of no
value and medicines give no
strength.
Over-much eating produces de-
rangement of the bowels, or, scar
nal interiors;" causing pain, sorrow
and gloom. Then do we send for
d doctor, to enliven us by describ-
ing cuL Pr citdI SttttC' 1liC doCtpl
%prescribes and the apotilecary mixes
for us loathing and abomination.n
But even by thenausea Of multitu-
dinous compounds We do not be-
come wise. By great tribulation,
however, We ne enabled to per
ceive the inestimable value of wis
dom. The wise man understands
how large q quantity of wood will
suffice, and, profting by experience,
he conducts himself accordingly.
The foolish man eats too much.
This meat Is as bitterness in his
throat.
One of the problems of life is to
determine the qualities, quantities
and times Of eating. Beyond doubt
a correct solution of this problem
would bring health to the nations.
Should all carefully and diligently
study this problem, the professional.
employment of physicians would be
greatly lessened.-[A. 2. NJ, in

Vinegar Making.

Vinegar is produced by the trans
formation of alcohol to acetic acid.
The alcoholic mixture must not be
too strong. else the transformation
is retarded, or too weak, else it will
putrefy. The higher the tempera-
ture and the greater the quantity
of air brought in a given time i'll
contact with the cider or other al
coholic mixture, the quicker is its
Transformation to vinegar. If, how
ever, the temperature is above 100
deg, alcohol is wasted by evapora-
ton. Nearly all the vinegar sold
in the markets is made by what is
known as the quick process, but as
this method requires considerable
experience and some expensive ap-
paratus, it is not adapted to house
hold manufacture. BY this process
cider or other alcoholic mixtures are
converted into good vinegar in from
three to ten hours. during which it
must drip through twenty feet OF
wood shavings, cor cobs, stems of
grapes or other similar substances,
and a constant draught Of heated
air passing through the shavings
keeping up a fermentation and
coming in contact with every drop
OF the mixture, completely changes
the alcohol to acetic acid, and the
more ferment present the quicker
is the vinegar made or the souring
process completed. For family use
one barrel is usually enough for a
year. When cider 10 made it is
easy to have pure, healthtul vine
gar, but even then it is not always
to be found. 1t should be borne. in
mind that air, heat and fermenta-
ton are necessary to acetitication.
II you have one-half o. one-third
barrel of good vinegar at cider-ma-
king time and fill the cask with
new cider and leave the hung open
the new cider will produce the fer
ment and the old vinegar will
change the whole in six weeks by
keeping moderately warm. If no
old vinegar is at hand to start with,
add ten gallons of pure Eain or river
water to thirty gallons of cider. put
in a cask painted black and let it
stand intlle SUN with the bungllole
open or only closed by a patch Of
canvass tackled over it to keep out
insects. To make from common
wlliskey add it to pure soft water
in the proportion Of one pint of
wliskey to one gallon of hot water,
which should be poured while hot
into a barrel to ferment. There
should be a cask also for storage,
and every two or three.weeks, or as
needed, a few gallons may be drawn
out and added to the generating or
fermenting barrel. Sorghum syrup
or molasses may be used in the
place Of the whiskey if desired.
