TAKE CARE OF Your HEALTH. Few
people realize what health is worth
until they lose it, 1t is easier to
prevent disease than to cure it. The
character of our farming is undergo
ing great changes We are using
more machinery, keeping better
ock, raising better varieties OF fruit,
grains, potatoes, roots, aud grasses;
are buying more or making better
manure. Now, all this requires brains.
We are aware that there is great deal
of nonsen written ON this subject
But is undoubtedly fact that man
cannot long Use his brains us an in
toIIigent, cnterprising American
farmer is row compelled to do, and
work and worry at the same time,
without an abundance Of nutritious
food If he undertakes to do it on
fat pork potatoes, bread, and cake,
his health will certainly give way
The American farmer of today
needs and must have more fresh
meat. Better patronlze the butcher
than the doctor; better sell fewer
eggs and buy less medicine. We
have heard farmers say, GOOD that
is good enough 70, my men is good
enough for me He may have been
right. But the farmer who thinks,
and works too, needs better food
than he who merely works with his
hands.

The Future OfIrOn.

Unless the present scarcity and
hr4h prices Of ron are the temporary
effect Of causes which may be speed
lily removed, they must operate as n
serious check to the prosperity and
progress of all civilized nations. The
rapidly increasing demand for and
consumption of this metal, in it's Va
ricd manufactured forms, has al
ready been brought to n halt, and
enterprises Of great public utility,
and even of national Importance, are
now awaiting further developments
upon this subject,
This enhanced cost falls with the
most severe and paralyzing effect
upon railroad building enterprises,
and hence indirectly upon the gen
cral interests Of commerce and pro-
ductions SO largely dependent upon
transportation faculties. Unforu-
notcly, this large advance has come
upon. us ala time when the railroad
system of cur country is beiug cX-
tended at the rate Of some seven or
eight thousand miles Il year, when
new building projects were about to
be entered uFou in nearly every

and when vast railroad schemes were
being maturcd in South America,

BENEFITS OF DRAINING.-At Il recent
meeting of the Board of Agriculture for
sullivan county, y. II. held at Newport
Il gentleman whose agricultural skill
has been as highly appreciated in New
England as that of any man within its
bounds, and who is looked up to every
week by many thousands as IL safe and
reliable teacher, said in reference to
draining, that our farms do not now
pay, and something ought to he done
to make farming what it should be.
The soil must he prepared before we
put crops on it. We should not drain
all lands, but those which seem to us
to need it. BY draining it we take of
the supertiuous dampncSs. and make it
dry, allowing our crops to grow. By
its being drained. we allow the air to
penetrate the soil, which it mOiStenS
and heats. On drained lands the roots
penetrate more deeply into the soil.
The air is loaded with fertilizers, cS-
pccially with ammonia, which is neceS-
Sary for the growth of every plant.
Whatever vegetable matter there is in
the ground i'll the form of roots. etc.. is
decomposed by the air. which enrichcS
the soil. In under-drained land. after
a shower. the water stands in little pud-
dies and runs off, instead of working
deep into the soil. When it runs of it
becomes perfect rObber. In grass
Lands 1t freezes in the winter and win
ter kills the roots of the grass. Drain
ing enables persons to cultivate the
land two weeks earlier than otherwise
could be done. Drained land remains
warm later i'll the fall, and during
drought does not suffer like the I'M
drained, us experience proveS.-.N. +.

Some recommend ploughing in the

neighbOr of mine put some in an iron
pot and filled it with water: the water

Il month: he then slipped the cake OF
