Advice to Young Doctors.

"How TO practice medicines was the
subject Of the valedictory address of Prof
l.. i. Iandell II, to the graduates of the
University Of Louisville last March. In
developing the precept that lit is the
duty of the physician to relieve his pa
tients cato, tutO, ct jucat1ade," the following
sensible advice is given under the "ju-
cuade" division of the text:
In all things study the quiet, the ease,
the enjoyment of your patients. Give
them abundant fresh air and ice and
cold water and fruit, when they desire
such things. AS to food, obey their appe-
tites. Hunger and thirst have been well
styled our ''physcal conscience" which in
the slck-rOOm is never to be disregarded
They are safer guides in respect to diet
and drink than can be found in all our
medical philosophy, They make known
to us what the living organism needs.
Whatever sick people have true desire
for they ought, therefore, to be INDUCED
in. When your little patients have been
sick long time, and have become
an@mic and emaciated, it may be for
want OF proper food have them carried
to the table, and allow them to indicate
by signs, if they have no words, what
their systems require to build them up
again. Infants suffer great distress
when i'll, on account of thirst which they
have no way Of making known to us ex-
cept by means and cries. You will often
be delighted to see how instantly their
plants cease on your giving the little
sufferers drink of cold water Dismiss
from your minds, then, and everywhere
discOuntenance the absurd notion that
cold drinks can ever be Injurious to the
sick. Avoid noise in the sick room.
Whispering, too, should be discounte-
nanced. The attention of patients is
attracted by it, and they are annoyed and
fatigued by the effort to hear. Some of
my colleagues whisper that this is espec-
tally the case with lady patients.
AS general rule, you may safely trust
the feelings of of convalescents in regard
to setting up and taking exercise, as well
as in reference to diet In a word you
can scarcely consult the inclinations Of
the sick too far, except as to physic, of
which of course they know nothing.
But | must put you on your guard
against yielding to the advice of their
nurses and friends Consult with no one
but doctor, and never take suggestion
from non professional person. You will
encounter numberless sage individuals
everywhere ready to aid you by their
counsel, b, sed upon long experience or
something hey have heard. Ifyou adopt
their suggestions, the patient and attend
ants will soon and naturally con-
clude that they know as much
about physic as you do. 1t will be well
therefore, respectfully but firmly to put
aside all such INSTRUMENTATION Jour-

your social relations!' All, indeed,
You've got relations here at home, sir
They need keeping up some, l think.
What did you say about catching it, the

stop. Out every night because | fret

dies who amt always scolding their hus-
bandsp You do, do you? How come you
to know them? What business had you
to know them? What right have you to
know whether other women fret or not?
That's always the way! You men think
that all the other women are saints but
your wives Oh, yes--saints, Saints
I'll have you to know, sir, that there isn't
woman in this town that's any more of
saint than am. know them all, sir
heap better than you do You see the
sugar and honey side of them, and they
only-see-the-hon ey-and-sugar--side
of-you. Now, sir, | just want you to
know that if you don't stay at home more
than you do, I'll leave these children to
get burnt up and I'll go out every
night. When poor woman gets desper-
ate, why, sir, she is-desperate, that's ALL"

RECIPES, ETC.

Lemon Honeycomb.-Take the Juice
OF one lemon and sweeten to taste. Put it in
the dish you intend to serve it in; mix the
white of one egg, we'll beaten, with one
pint OF pure cream and little sugar.
Whlsk 1t, and as the froth rises, put it on
the lemon juice. Prepare the day before
using.
TO Keep Potatoes-A correspondent
of the Mobile Register, says of the best
manner OF keeping this esculent: Il al
ways put my potatoes up in Stacked lime,
sprlnkling it thoroughly among and over
them throughout the barrels 1t takes no
great deal of lime, but it prevents the po-
tatoes from getting strong. Northern po-
tatoes would soon get strong in our
climate unless so treated, but lime and
dry room keeps them good the year
round
How to Raise Turkeys-As soon as
the birds are Matched, feed them with
warm bread and milk, well peppered
with boiled eggs added, or thickened with
cooked corn-meal, or wheat middlings
which is better. A little care in these
matters will repay ali efforts. Before |
knew how to take care of the eggs, | set
thlrty eggs one year, and but one of them
Matched. The next year | set forty eggs,
and nearly all of them Matched and the
birds lived. AT present prices, raising
poultry is much more pleasant and easy
occupation than the savish drudgery of
making butter and cheese-Ameracan

"A Feed Cutter.-A correspondent of
the Vermont Farmer gives his method of
converting mower into a feed cutter as
follows: Place the machine standing up
right on the back end, and brace it firmly.
Then brace up the bar so that it will be
steady, and fit board on the top OF the
fingers OF the guard-b bar, so that the hay
cannot get over the bar. Then make a
table to feed on. Throw the machine
into gear, put the hay on the table and
turn the wheel. The hay is fed against
the under side of the bar. With horse
power and belt to the wheel, this makes
first-rate power feed cutter, doing the work
fast and we'll
Natural Rotation of Crops.-A gricul-
turists had long been practically CONVEX
SAINT with the advantages derivabIe from
the practice of not growing the same crop
on the same soil for too long period.
The advantages consequent on this So
called rotation of crops are due to more
than one cause; but it was bureau de la
Male, who, in 1925, called attention to
the phenomenon of natural rotation. From
long observation Of what takes place in
woods and pasture lands, he established
the fact than an alienation of growth, as
he called it, occurs as natural phenOme-
non. In pasture lands, for instance, the
grasses get the upper hand at one time,
the leguminous plants at another; so that,
in the course of thirty years, the author
whose observations care citing was wit
ness of five or six such alternations.-

be put on with profit On poor, and es-
pecially exposed land, it is a decided adj
vantage, protecting the grain, and feeding
it through the season following. But
avoid putting wheat in poor land, badly
prepared. If it is wished to seed down
such land, do it without the grain, thus
getting crop of grass, or better, clover,
the same year, instead of light grain
crop, which is sure to follow, and which
will also be an impeachment to the young
grass or clover.-"F g." IN Country Gen

To Roast Quarter Of Lamb.-Ha

TO Roast a Quarter Of Lamb.-Have
boiling water two or three inches deep in
the lower part of the boiler, deep enough
to just touch the bottom of the pan to be
set over it. Place the lamb in the inner
pan aoithoW acater, first seasoning it with
salt and pepper, if agreeable. Put on the
cover, fitting it in tightly When the
water begins to boil, set the boiler back
on the stove, or range, where it will keep
just at the boiling point, and let it remain
cooking the usual time-fifteen minutes
for each pound is generally thought long
enough When done take it out, dredge
with flour, and put into a quick oven to
brown, but not scorch. 1t is usually esti-
mated that one pint of gravy is lost when
meat is boiled in the usual way. Here you
have it all saved in the dish, the pure juice
of the meat making excellent gravy.
