however, frequently adulterated with
zinc white, which may be readily dis
covered by digesting the suspected

A Wrong Custom Corrected.

1t is quite generally the custom to
take strong liver stimulants for the cure
of liver complaint, and both the mineral
and vegetable kingdoms have been dill
gently searched to procure the most
drastic and poisonous purgatives, in
order to produce powerful effect upon
the liver, and arouse the tagging and
enfeebled organ. This system of treat
ment is on the same principle as that of
giving a weak and debilitated man large
portions of brandy to enable him to do
certain amount of work. When the
stimulant is withheld, the organ like
the system, gradually relapses into a
more torpid or sluggish and weakened
condition than before. What then is
wanted? Medicines, that, while they
cause the bile to flow freely from the
liver, as that organ is toned into action,
will not overwork and thus debilitate
it, but will, when their use is discon-
tinued, leave the liver strengthened and
healthy,

: CoMPASIoysHIP AND HEALTH.-To be
perfectly healthy and happy, one must
have friends. They need not be in large
numbers, but one, two or three kindred
spirits with whom one can commune,
share joys and sorrows, thoughts and
feelings. In choosing friends great care
is necessary. There must be some com
mon bond of sympathy. 1t may be
moral, intellectual. or social but even
these bonds are not sufficient. A weakly
person, an invalid, needs healthy friends :
a timid one, brave friends. Those who
are blessed with good friends are
healthier ahd happier than those who
have none.

New HoUsEs-The coincidence of
mans moving into a new house and
dying soon after has frequently been a
subject of remark, and there is an
avoidsble cause.-the house is moved
into before the walls and plaster and
the wood are sufficiently dried. Some
times the cause of death is the poison
GUS character of the water conveyed
through new lead pipes. No water for
drinking or cooking purposes should be
used in building supplied with new
lead pipes, IN whole or In part; for at
least one month after the water has
been usedsdaily; this gives time. for
protecting coating to form on the inner
surface of the pipes, when their chemi-
'cal change from contact with water
generally ceases.
But the damp materials of the house
have the most decided effect, especially
on persons over fifty years old or of
frail constitutions whereas if the per-
son were in the full vigor of life and
health, not even an inconvenience would
be experienced.
In building a new house, or on going
to live in another locality where the
water supply is not far from the house,
it should be ascertained with the utmost
certainty that the spring or well is
higher than the privies or barnyards.
Insidious and fatal forms of decline and
typhoid very often result from persons
drinking water which is, drained from
the localities named.
The safest plan, and the only safe
r.
most healthful and unobiectionable
water, is to have watertight cistern,
and let the water from the roof of the
house or barn, or other outhouses, be
conveyed into it through a box of sand
several yards long, this box to rest on
board, or cemented bottom and sides,
so that no outside water could get into
it.-HaTs Journal Of Health.

HESs DEvoURTSG THERE EGGs. s.-As
have had this difficulty to contend with,
and have also been successful, my plan
may be of some benefit to others. - The
nests used at first were loose boxes
placed under a shelf on a ground floor,
and opposite from where the light was
admitted, and in full view OF the fowls.
One very old feeble hen repeatedly laid
soft-shelled and odd shaped eggs. And
from these the trouble began. The
appetite became so great that nearly
every egg laid by the flock was imme-
diately eaten. l tried many ways to
break up their mischief, resulting in as
many failures. At length it occurred
to me more fully to crafty the natural
instinct of secrecy In laying, which L
did, making the nests almost perfectly
dark. procured a number of quarter
barrels, took one end out of each, made
q slight hollow in the ground, and laid
them in. then took hay and soil, aud
made heap before the open end, leav-
ing only space enough for the hens to
get In.
In these they soon hid themselves to
lay. Since concealing the nests in this
way / Lave had no trouble. To my
knowledge there has not been an egg
eaten since. / consider it now an i'm
portant point to have the nests well
concealed, not only to crafty the pro-
pensity for secrecy, but to allow them a
little ,undisturbed rest after laying. /
would also add from rather expensive
experience, that if size is desired, /
know of no better food than raw eggs !;
but profit must not be made a question
in feeding them in this way.-Cor.

PATENT MEDIcINKs.-That there are
some good patent medicines no intelli
gent man dare for moment deny and
pre-eminent is the great California hero
medicine, VINEGAR BITTERs, discovered
by DR.. j.. WALKER, a prominent ,physi
cian of fSau,Francisco. This medicine,
although called Bitters, is not TO be
classed among the vile 'fancy drinks"
recommended and sold over the bar by
rum m-venders, but is a combination Of
pure herbalistic extracts, known to pos
sess sterling medicinal qualities, and is
compounded without the use. in any
shape of spirits. Its action upon the
internal system is not stimulating to the
extent that alcoholic poison is, but it
at once attacks blood-impurities, and
by removing the original cause destroys
the germs of disease and invites return
ing health. Its action upon the stom-
ach and liver render it an almost GER
tain specific in.the most stubborn cases
of dyspepsia; and in truth imparts new
life.and vigor to the whole system. 1t
is one of the best medicines ever in
vented. 80

A VALUABLE FERTILIZER UTILIZED
Every farmer has the means at hand of
manufacturing, at small cost, one of
the most valuable fertilizers in use from
the contents of the privy that are too
often nearly lost on account of their
offensiveness or want of proper knowl-
edge. If the term fertilizer at the head
of this article is suggestive of adultera-
ton, all fears on this head Lust vanish
after fair trial.
Early in spring make curb of proper
size under cover, and place at the bot
tom layer of dry muck six inches deep,
or in its absence soil will do, and may
be advantageously taken from the mar
ginal elevations of ploughed fields.
Upon this place layer of the said con-
tents two inches deep, and thus build
up the pile in alternate layers, using
two or three times the quantity of muck,
covering the whole with it to the depth
of ten inches. Now save all the liquids
from the sleeping apartment through
the summer, and pour upon the top,
adding more muck as may be necessary.
In one year this will lie fit for use, well
decomposed, free from offensive odor,
and may be handled as well as so much
earth. L have used this compost in top
dressing grass lands with marked re-
suits. Last spring piece thus treated
was far ahead of the rest, and had to
be cut ten days in advance. A small
quantity In corn hills will push the
young plants forward, give them rich,
dark green color, and a stamina they
will not forget during the season.

The HEALTH OF FARMERS.
have unequaled natural advantages for
health, strength and longevity. The
statistics of diseases and the tables of
mortality, however, are against them.
This is due not TO their vocation, but
to their misuses of it. No class, as
whole, is probably SO utterly reckless
of health conditions. So far as our
acquaintance with the habits of farmers
is concerned-and it has been extensive
it compels the conclusion, as a rule,
that the dietic habits of farmers are
worse than those of any other class who
have the means of choosing for them
selves. Fried dishes several times a
day, with several fried articles at each
of the three meals, is one of their COM
mon denominations dried beef, old
cheese, and pickles are among the COM
mon relishes, while lard and saleratus
make their richer dainties infectious
and caustic. We have seen on farmers
table, fried pork, fried eggs, fried pota-
toes and fried griddle cakes for break
fast fried ham, fried hominy, and fried
parsnips for dinner and fried sausages
and fried doughnuts for supper-all the

troubled with canker, erysipelas, tumors
cancers, and humors, as farmers; and
the excessive use of pork, lard, fine
-four, rich cakes and greasy pastry are
enough to account for it. In dietic
habits our farmers are sadly misled by
the agricultural journals, nearly all of
which pander to their preiudices, and
fatter their morbid appetites by recon-
mending and commencing swine breed
ing and pork eating, while they fill
their kitchen column with receipts for
making strich and palatable" puddings,
pies, cakes and other complicated dishes,
which no stomach ever carried inside A
human body could long tolerate withs'
out death or dyspepsia The essential
need of our farmers is plain, whole
some food, properly cooked. This
would give them much more available
strength for work, relieve them of many
of the distresses and expenses OF sick
ness, add many years to their lives, and
render old age "green" and normal,
instead of dry and decrepit, as it is IN
most of cases, under existing habits.
