How Often should we Eat!

A GREAT many dogmatic rules have
been laid down respecting "the proper
number of meals" to be eaten per day. 1t
is very seldom that we can make absolute
rules in hygiene. The same rule does not
suit every one; as the old saw has it,
- What is one mans meat is another mans
poison" The principle holds true of the
times of eating as well as Of the food we
eat. Three meals per day are enough, and
not too many for a majority of grown per
sons. Some are healthier and stronger
with but two meals day; and we hear OF
crack Drained doctor in Boston who
thinks that he can get along with but one.
Even if he could do 81, that is no reason
why he should recommend his example as
rule for other perso IS to follow. There
have been cases where men have tasted
for weeks, or even for months, and have
kept their health but their example does
not prove that a weeks fast is a good
thing for ordinary mortals. The common
sense principle, that each person should
judge according to his own experience of
how many meals he needs, is sufficient in
most cases. Children would generally be
better off for eating four or five times a
day; in some households that we know il
is the practice to give them fee access TO
the bread-and-butter panIry dufing the
day, forbidding them any thing between
meals that would tempt the appetite toe
strongly. A child will not become glut.
ton upon bread and butter, and we can
recommend this practice in the case oi
children whose appedtes have way oi
getting demonstrative between meAitimes
If they are really hungry they can feed il
this way 10 good advantage; if they ar,
not hungry, they are prevented from
stuffing themselves because they hav,
nothing else to do Hearth and Home.

Senator Thurman's Effort.

4 CHIEF point in Senator Thurman's
late s, eech in Ohio was that "within
thirty days after the surrender at Apo
mattox, there was not an armed man in
al this land 10 hostile array against the
Government Of the United States" From
this the interer ce was drawn that nothing
more was required of the government
than to let these men alone. While it is
true that after four years OF resistance
the rebels laid down their arms, some
other things are equally true One OF
these is that, as slavery had always been
held to be local, before it was na'ional
institution, these men held that they had
nothing to do when they reached home
but to elect Legislatures which would en-
act laws to remand colored men TO
slavery, and as these were State laws
they would be beyond the control OF Con-
gress. Another movement was to band
together in secret societies, TO harrass and
oppress the negroes, burn their school
houses, drive out The teachers, and render
the life OF every Northern man insecure
The soldiers laid down their arms on the
battlefield, but did they intend thereby 8

Pasturing Meadows.

For want of sufficient pasture, cattle
and horses are often turned into the mown
meadows, or stubbles, that have been
seeded with clover. This is, to say the
least, injudicious.
Generally dry weather occurs after har-
vest, during which the clover and grass
have struggle to maintain their existence,
the young clover plants especially suffer-
ing from the heat and the drouth. Posi-
bly, for some weeks the principle depen-
dence of the meadows for moisture is the
ghtly dews. If the leaves are allowed
to be eaten off, this mode of supply is ar
rested, by depriving the roots of the shade
which they would have afforded. Only
weak growth can then be made, many
plants will De totally destroyed, and when
the rains occur, followed by nightly frosts,
the unsheltered roots are thrown out by
thousands. A promising piece of clover
may thus be completely ruined and the
next years supply of hay be seriously cur
tailed. The life of the meadows is con-
sumed and their existence threatened.
We are aware of the great temptation
there is to turn stock on 10 the aftermath
and stubbles, but, unless in rare cases,
where the soil is rich and the growth is
too heavy to be eaten nearly bare, 1t would
be a great saving of money in the end, to
hire pasture, buy feed, or sell the surplus
which cannot be otherwise fed at home.
On many farms, had this course been
adopted for one season, the resources for
feeding in after years would have been
doubled; but by carrying too much stock
on the fields during the fall months, they
were eaten off too closely to stand the
inter, and were too seriously injured to
fully recover. 1t is becoming more appar-
ent each year that more stock must be fed
on Eastern farms, nay, on many Western
farms too, or their fertility cannot be
maintained; but it is bad policy to keep
too many at the commencement before
| the means of feeding have become equal
TO the demand. 1t is something like a
man living upon his capital, instead OF
upon the interest of it each year; in one
case he becomes poorer by mere ill-judged
use of his means, which by husbanding
in the other case would keep him by its
income, and itself remain intact. 1t is a
question worth consideration whether it
would not be wise to largely reduce pas
| turing stock whether money could not
be made by selling eff in the spring the
bulk Of the stock usually pastured, and
moving or otherwise using the land to
produce feed for keeping stock during the
winter, which ould be purchased IL the
fall, by which means more manure would
be made, the difference in the values OF
( stock at these different seasons saved, and

When TO Cut Corn.

AT what time shall we cut corn, and in
what manner9 Shall we cut at the ground,
top, or not at ALI These are questions
which are seldom discussed in our agricul-
tural papers; still they should be thor
oughly understood by all growers. lam
aware that many Eastern growers practice
topping, and If this is the best method we
should all practice it. Contending that 1t
is not, | will present a few thoughts in
favor OF cutting at the ground. Leaves
are the lungs of plants, and none can be
removed while the crop is maturing, more
particularly while ripening, without de-
creasing the amount of such crop. At the
time that the topping is usually done, the
leaves removed are the ones most essential
to growth, and you prevent the corn from
receiving the nutriment that it would have
derived from them had they not been sew
cred from the stalk.
In cutting the corn you have the pres
servation of the fodder in view for feeding
purposes To be of much value, it must
be cut previous to frost-cut at the proper
time and well saved, they make excellent
food but cut after they become dry and
hard, OF frost-bitten, they are nearly
worthless. / believe 1t is an accepted fact
that wheat cut as soon as the kernel be.

green, properly shocked, improves in the
shock, will make better quality of flour
and more of IL than if allowed to stsnd
until the straw is dead ripe; and l have
no doubt that corn cut at the ground be
fore it is fully ripe, and shocked well, will
be of better quality than if allowed tC
stand until the stalk has become dry; for
il cut at such time, the circulation of saI
continues ill the stalk has become dry
and the corn ripens and improves in th'
shock, whereas in topping you entirely re
move that portion Of the stalk mos
needed in the ripening process. There Il
certain time at which corn can be cut
when the shrinksge in the corn will bea
no comparison TO The loss of fodder If al
lowed to stand longer; at just what stag
this is, each must judge for himself. Nj.
rule is, when the corn IS all well glazed
and rather more than half the ears turl
yellow, cut and put up in small shocks
and as soon as the corn is sufficiently cure,
to crib, husk, binding the fodder securely
and setting nine shocks of corn in on
bunch. Cor. Rural Neto Yorker.

SIR Snake bites are so frequent to human
beings and animals in warm climates, that
any antidote that has been used successfully
should be sufficient reason for publishing 1t
in the public papers.
About a fortnight since young dog about
nine months old--a mongrel-belonging to
one of the men on the railway works here,
was bitten by q full sized putf-adder, below
the eyes, but rather under the left eye.
One of the gang, an old English navy, who
believed most explicitly in a medicine called
"Pain Killer" and in fact uses it for every
| complaint, thought nothing was better than
his own specific he prescribed Pain Killer"
and " Pain Killer" was at once used. A few
drops we're dropped in the bite, and near a
| tablespoonful administered inwardly. Under
ordinary circumstances the dog would have
died in an hour; but it lived, and is now
hearty and we'll. On administering the med
icine the dog vomited, and on applying 1t to
the wound it bled the dogs head swelled to
about twice its ordinary size, but in two days
| 1t was able to run about. OF what the Pain
Killer" may be composed am quite ignorant
and as it Is a medicine much used in the
Colony, its remedy in this respect should bC

StiU Onward and Upward.

The extraordinary increase that has taken place
in the sale OF Hostettsrs Stomach Bitters during
the past year, is another proof that an intelli-
gent people, although they may try all things,
hold fast only to tnat which is good. No amount
of pusry can lift inferior articles to the position
OF standard specifics. To use the words OF Tom
Paine, they may go up like rocket, but are sure
to come down ignominiously like its sxtinguished
stick. Hundreds Of such nostrums have gone up
and come down since the Introduction of Hostel
ters Stomach Bitters, nearly the nth Of century
ago. Yet it still remains the supreme tonic OF the
age. 1t has not, and never has had rival in sf-
acacy or popularity, and now stands at the heau
OF all proprietary remedies manufactured on this
side of the AtSntic. In every civilized community
on this continent, or in South America, it is the
accepted remedy for dyspepsia, bilious COM
plants, constipation, general debility, nervous
weakness, and many other unpleas ant or danger
GUS maladies. A medicine so widely extended iE
Of course pirated and initiated by dealers without
conscience or integrity.
Therefore, let every man snd woman who de-
signs to purchase the genuine Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, to it that they have what they pay
for, and not the results OF an Infamous impos-
ture. Look carefully at label, stamp, and name
blown in the glass, and do not forget that the
true 6itters is sold in bottles only.
