Foop As MEDIcINE.-Dr. Hall relates
the case of a man who was cured of his
billiousness BY going without his supper
and drinking freely of lemonade. Every
morning says the doctor, this patient
arose with wonderful sense of rest and
refreshment, and feeling as though the
blood had been literally washed. cleansed
and cooled BY the Lemonade and the
fast. His theory is that food can be used

fully. As an example, he cures splitting
of blood by the use Of salt; epiiepsy by
watermelon; kidney affection by ,csiery 4
poison, olive or sweet oil; erysipelas,
pounded cranberries applied to the part
affected; hydrophobia, onions, etc. So
the way 70 keep in good health is really
- know what to eat-not to know what
medicine to take.

TraiHing Fast Walkers.

! do not think that drivers, rs . gener-
al rule, takes as much pains to teach
their colts to walk fast as they should.
When a colt is taking his first lessons Oh
the road, it should be the drivers aim to
develop him into . fast walker, if posi-.

q horse can possess. The fast walker,
not only Is much pleasanter horse to
drive, bst he will accomplish a great
deal more work leither on the road or

sen, than it would be possible for slow
walking horse to do. Besides, if horse
is good walker, he is generally good
Aerse other ways He has one gait which
he can show to eeed advantage and
this is what many horses do not possess.
In short it is conceded by all, that the
fast walking gait is . desirable feature
in q horse.
Now the question arises, how can we
make q fast walker out of naturally
slow ones My way is this. III have q
good honest horse with q good walking
gait, ] hitch the colt beside him, and
drive them together. If the colt lags
behind he must be urged along, and kept
even with the faster horse. If sufficient
pains be taken, the colt will soon get in
the habit of keeping up with his mate,
but If it is not convenient to kcth up
with another horse, the next best way is
to lead the colt half mile or more daily
with q bride or halter, and take your
whip and make the walk q lively one
Any colt that is sound and in health
should be capable of walking four miles
to the hour. BY training him in this
way, and taking pains when driving to
keep the pace good, the colt will soon
develop into fast walker, and fifty dol.

freassry Of the National Grange.

The report Of the treasurer Of the Ma

3Oth April last, shows . total deposit OF
$ll,S2l, arising from deposits made by
the Secretary of the National Grange,
and the payment Of dues BY State gran

for several of the donations made by the
National Grange to the State oranges,
for printing the proceedings Of the last
session of the National Grange, for post
age, express, contingent, clerk hire, and
salary in secretary's Office, for expenses
of executive court, national lecturer. and

forwarded by the State treasurers to fiscal
agency before all the above drafts are
presented for payment.
The secretary's quarterly report shows
that 1874 oranges were organized in the

Feod For Y0uns Pigs.

The value of skinned milk from the
dairy for feeding young pigs, has hardly
been estimated high enough by the ma
iority of farmers.
Cows milk, after most of the cream
has been removed seems to come very
near supplying the pig with the best of
substitute for its natural food, while
cornmeal, although rich in fat and heat,
is 50 concentrating and so wanting in the
elements which are especially needed by
very young or growing animals, that it
is worth really less than many would
suppose. Cornmeal, besides being want.
ing in the elements of growth, packs and
becomes hard and indigestible in the
stomachs:of the young animals, unless it is
mixed with milk, bran or some other less
concentrated food, that may act as d.
wider in keeping the particles separate,
30 that the fluids of the stomach can
come in contact with all parts of it at
once.
Farmers know that milk is good for
pigs. They know too that skinned
milk is waste product OF The dairy, and
unless fed to animals, would generally be
wasted. They feed the milk because
they happen to have it, but would not
buy it instead of cornmeal. We believe |
that, at . cent . quart, it would
be cheap food to buy to mix with meal |
for feeding to pigs for the first few weeks
after weaning. Many pigs have been
spoiled by being confined to a cornmeal
1iet while young. In feeding your pigs
,r calves, growth and not fat should be
