when helfers, from being MIXED by abusive
mixers. have never seen an old COW be-
come kicker unless abused. Instead Of
cows being syerse to being MIXED when
giving large quantity, have ever found II
the reverse. When pasturage Is good, and
cows come home at night with udders dis
tended with milk, our Down East" cows
seem grateful TO have 1t removed. Milking a
helfer for the first time requires patience Tor
they will almost invariably kick. In such a

Tho Scientific American Is Of the opinion
that we require variety 10 our food. It says
experience has proved that, for some reason
unknown to science, variety Is essential to
health after reaching the age when we are
free to choose our food. The perpetpAl 70.
currencc OF the same odlblcs, even though
their number be considerable, becomes In d
periods Of life except infancy, not only weari
some, but positively injurious. Salt pork,
salt ilsh and potatoes, with pies, poor bread
And Japan tea, are the staples Of food OF
thousands OF families during our long win
tiers. II should be understood. how needful 1
change OF diet Is from time to time, Fresh
Vegetables, particularly In the country, are
readily obtained and preserved, and should
be unsparingIy used. The edible roots, as
tnrnips, carrots, onions and beets, and cab
bages arc "a well worth preserving as the
omnlpresent potato. All these vegetables
need thorough boiling, and more than they
generally get.
