What is the best mode of protecting
the throat from colds, where a person
is very susceptible to them? The COM
mon way of protecting the throat is to
bundle aud wrap it up closely, thus
overheating and rendering it tender
and sensitive, and more liable to colds
and Inflammation than before. This
practice is all wrong, and results in
much evil. Especially is this the c:se
with children, and when, in addition
to the muffiing of the throat, the ex-
tremities are insufficiently clad, as is
often the case, the best possible condi-
tons are presented for the production
of sore Threats, coughs, Group and all
sorts of throat and lung affections. 1t
is very wrong to exclude cold air from
the neck. and If it is over-heated pOr-
ton of the time, when it is exposed
some form of disagreemento of the throat
will be apt to occur. The rule in regard
to clothing the neck should be to keep
il as cool as comfort will allow. In do
ing SO you will suffer much less from
throat ailments than if you are always
fearful of having little cold air come
in contact with the neck. Any one
who has been accustomed to have his
throaC muffied should be careful to
leave off gradually, and not all at once.

never ABUNDANT. La the middle and

the sweet potato Is largely planted,

may be made TO the fodder left with

and immediately putting them into

four cr five days, when the cocks are
thrown down for three or four hours
sun, and then hauled in aud housed.
1t makes an excellent hay. Horses
cat il with avidity. The greater
facility with mhich the potatoes are
dug, after tic beds arc cIcansed OF the
vines, repays the expense of making
the hay"
