HEARTY BREAKFASTS 10 large majority
OF cases, says the Journal of Health, it will be
found that the best aud healthlest meal Of the
day should be eaten 10 the morning. IF the
closing repast of the day has not been eaten
too late, or has not been excessive n quality
or indigestble 10 quality, the stomach will be
rested aud active 10 the morning after the ia
dlvldual has enjoyed cool bath. The stomach
will then respond quickly with the necessary
gastric juice for the solution of food. and, if a
fair amount of exercise is taxed during be
day, large mass of food will be assmiIated
and converted into blood aud tissue. With a
good substantial breakfast 40 great amount of
food will be required during the remainder of
the day. Ooc further meal will be ample, and
that might better be taken at from two to
three O'Clock in the afternoon than at any
period IT business engagements only permit

The SOUTHERN STATES, under which desig-
nation we include what are called the border
States, embrace great variety of climate and
every variety of soil. Their productions com
bine those Of the temperate and tropical zones.
The South produces all the cereals, and Mary
land and Virgua may vie with the North 10
this production, while they also raise tobacco
which commands high price 10 all the mar
kets of the world. Before the late war the
South raised more of the great staple, Indian
corn, than the North. Thus the aggregate crop
of the Union in 1859 was S3S, 1872, 74O bushels,
of which the Southern share was AL, $50, 667
bushels. The South produced about two sew.
eoths of the wheat crop, aud yearly fifth of
the oat crop. 1t produced about one. uioth OF
the common potato crop, and nearly all the
sweet potatoes. 1t is unnecessary to say thai
the great staples, cotton and rice, are produced
almost exclusively in the Southern States The
cane sugar crop is all produced there; seven
elghths of the tobacco; six -seveuths of the
hemp crop; tour.6fths Of the pea aud bean
crops. The Southern live stock before the war
Was great in humber, and its value more than
ia the North. These facts illustrate the vast
sxtent and variety Of the agricultural resource.
