Use of Tobacco.

On this subject we give the following
remarks from the Popular Science
Monthly. We recommend them to the
consideration Of smokers:
'Tobaeco belongs to the class of mar
cotic and exciting substances, ard has
no food value. Stimulation means alb
stracted, not added force. 1t involves
the narcotic paralysis of portion of the
functions, the activity of which is es-
sential to healthy life
'It will be said that tobacco soothes
and cheers the weary toiler, and solaces
the Overworked brain. Such may be
its mOmentary effects, that the sequel
cannot be ignored. All such expedients
are fallacious. When n certain amount
of brain-wOrk or hand-wOrk has been
performed, nature must have space to
reeuperate, and all devices for escaping
from this necessity will fail. 1t is bad
policy to set the house on fire to warm
our hands by the blaze. Let it, then,
be clearly understood that the temporary
excitement produced by tobacco is
gained by the destruction of vital force,
and that it contains absolutely nothing
which can be of use to the tissues of the
body.
"Tobacco adds no potential strength
to the human frame. 1t may spur a
weary brain or feeble arm to undue ex-
ertiOn for a short time, but its work is
destructive, not constructive. It cannot
add one mOlecule to the plasm out of
which our bodies are daily built up. On
the contrary, it exerts upon it a most
deleteriOus influence. 1t does not sun
ply, but diminishes vital force.
''It has been denied that tobacco
leads to organic disease, but the evil
dence is very strong the other way, and
it would be very remarkable if continued
functional arrangement did not ulti-
mately lead to chronic arrangement of
the organs; that it causes functional
disturbance, no one dreams of denying;
indeed, it has been remarked that no
habitual smoker can be said to have a
perfect days health"
Excessive smoking is unquestiOnabIy
bad. And even the smallest quantity
of smoking is very bad for boys. To see
an urchin ten years old sucking cigar,
which is nearly as big as himself, is an
unpleasant spectacle, and it bodies little
for the future energy Of the premature
] smoker.
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1873-09-05
Overwork and Want of Sleep.

Overwork causes a great deal of ill
health in farming communities. Very
many farmers, in their efforts to avoid
idleness, which they consider a sin and
a shame, go to the other extreme and
lose both health and happiness thereby.
While industry tends to health, OUeF-
UOrE breaks down the constitution and
shortens life. 1t Injuries both the body
and mind, and if long continued results
either in death or premature old age.
For this sin-and sin it is to OverwOrk-
there is not nearly the excuse on the
part of farmers which there was twenty
years ago. Now one has machines to
take, in great degree, the place of
hand labor, and the farmer who will
use them need not break down his
health by working too hard. But it is
not the farmer who is most likely to
OverwOrk The farmers wife is gener-
ally the greatest sufferer. Every day in
the year, Sundays not excepted, she has
much to do. Often there is as much re-
quired of her as two women ought to
perform. As the result of her over
| work, health is lost, and she either dies
/ long before her time or lives only to
suffer the penalties of the law she has
| transgressed. For this course there is
no justification. No woman ought to
.
/ justified in requiring or allowing his
wife to do so. He ought to furnish her
with household machines, and if her
health is poor either help her himself or
! hire q girl to help her. This killing
] himself and his wife, which so many
/ farmers do, for the sake Of laying up
few dollars which they never expect to
use, and which they cannot carry with
them when they die, is q miserable
speculation as far as profit and loss are
concerned, and 4 sinful, shameful thing
for any man to do.
Want of sleep is one of the chief
causes of much of the physical and men,
tai trouble of farmers and their families.
During the busy season, when the
farmer rises at four in the morning and
works until six or seven in the evening,
then eats his supper, does his chores,
and sits up an hour or two later to read
his paper or chat with . neighbor, he
does not obtain sleep enough &c keen
either body or mind i'm perfect health
and vigor. The evil consequences of
his course may not be apparent for many
years, but sooner or later they will
come. The waste of the brain is not
fully made up. Little by little it de-
Gays and insanity or incurable disease is
the final result of using the hours which
should be devoted to sleep forother pur-
poses. Farmers wives, who are often
kept awake at night by the exhaustion
caused by overwOrk or by the crying
and fretting of children, are the great
est sufferers, and year by year a vast
number of this class go to the insane
asylum or the grave. 1t is slow but
certain suicide to curtail the hours of
sleep, and no man, woman or child need
expect to long continue in good health
without taking the fullest amount of
quiet rest Working Farmer.

A Swedish Dairy.

Miss Claussen, of Point Reyes, con-
ducts dairy on what is known as the
Swedish system, one which differs
materially from that in vogue in Cali
fornia. Instead of ordinary pans, the
milk is set in tin cans, holding %
gallons each, being % inches deep by ~
inches in diameter. The cream rises
to the depth of 3 to 4 inches. These cans
are not set on shelves, but in large, vat
like receptacles, through which cold
spring water is constantly running, the
cans being sunk in the stream to the
top of the milk.
Many would think the cream would
not all rise from such a large body of
milk, but this is en- error. When the
odor and warmth of the animal are all
removed, the cream will all float. Uni
formity Of temperature, and that low, is
the requisite. This method is much
used in New York, where the lady
named told us it originated, and that il
was copied from the Empire State by
dairymen of Sweden.
Mr.. w. o. l.. Crandell, who was pres
ent, thought il originated i'm Sweden,
and was adopted in this country. Mr..
II. Claussen runs two dairies; the one
formerly occupied by his venerable
father, at present the home OF his
mother and sister, and the other about
two miles beyond, I. B. Crandelrs lay
ing between. On the two places $40
cows are milked.
On the dairy of which we have been
speaking, Miss Claussen is the butter
maker, having full direction and per-
forming the labor herself. She works
the butter of 200 cows with her own
hands. She thinks no butter-wOrkeT
has ever been invented that is quite
equal to the human hand, directed by
an intelligent and experienced head.
| When she showed us her mornings
work, l35-pound roll of as nice butter
as ever came from a dairy, our thoughts
were divided between the butter and
the butter queen.
Everything about the butter-room,
and, indeed, all the dairy buildings, is
as neat and sweet as water and scrub
bing can make it. Miss G. is a rare
specimen of her sex, a fine model fol
American girls to initiate. Above the
medium size, her figure straight anC
graceful, neither full nor spare, her steI
quiet, but quick and springy; her Who'll,
physique denoting perfect health anC
freshness; her manner modest and self
forgetful, almost to fault; and her con

is found advantageous on the whole 70
