We learn that Prof. Becton has received a
letter from Governor Porter stating that
one hundred stands of arms viii be forward
ed to the Professor in September, for use in
establishing the West Tennessee Military
Academy. The patrons and friends OF the
Grand Junction Academy are fearful lest
Bolivar should induce Prof. Becton to estab-
fish his military school in our town. We
must say that until Bolivar shows more ed
ucational enterprise than is at present mani
tested, Grand Junction has stronger claims
upon the Professor than Bolivar can lay
claim to. Prof Becton's scholarship and
teaching qualities deserve to be sought by
any community. We must say, however,
we are averse to rob the Junction of their
prize, but for the future We cannot speak If,
though, the community at the Junction
strongly support the Professor this session
they may place it beyond Bolivar's power
to induce him to leave.

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Diet of Farmers.


We are glad to bear testimony to the great
improvement manifest during the last quarter
of century in the diet, not only OF farmers,
but of the community generally. There is
much less pork consumed than formerly, veg
etabes and fruits are more abundant, the
bread is in greater variety and of better quail
ity, pies are less frequently seen on the break
fast and supper tables, fried doughnuts do not
constitute such staple article of consump-
ton, and the gridiron and roasting-pan are
substituted in good degree for what the
physicians call the "infernal frylng-pan."
While conceding thus much, we must say
there is margin for further improvement, and
we can see no injustice done to the farmers in
DR.. Adams summing up of the testimony OF
the leading physicians of Massachusetts,, with
this advice to them: ''More fresh and less
salt meat; less frying, and more boiling, broil-
ing and baking; a greater variety Of vegeta-
bles and fruit; less pies and cakes: more
wholesome, well-kneaded bread, raised with
yeast; less tea" If farmers reject this cheap
and wholesome advice, dyspepsia will contin-
ne to be one of the diseases to which they are
particularly liable, and they may have to
wise might have been cast to the dogs.
Rheumatism is, doubtless, the disease TO
which farmers are liable, and exercise and
untimely work, coupled with unnecessary ex-
posure, the cause of it. Outdoor work gives
a man the stomach of an ostrich, so lar as di-
gestion is concerned, and enables him to eat
with impunity what would kill man of sed-
entary habits. But there is no advantage
in taxing the digestive organs of outdoor
workers beyond what is necessary. At this
season of the year, particularly, pork should
be eschewed. 1t furnishes heat rather than
muscle, and in haying and harvesting muscle
is of more value than heat for the laborer.
During the hot season milk, bread and
cheese, lean mutton or beefin moderate guam
tity, vegetables and fruits should constitute
the chief articles of diet. The English farm
laborer makes great use of bread and
cheese. These constitute his luncheon in the
field, and are recommended both by instinct
and science. Casein or cheese is muscle
forming in its elements, and it were well If
our laborers were more addicted to its use.
Cheese is too hearty to eat alone, and bread is
its natural supplement and concomitant.
There is more muscular strength furnished by
a pound of cheese than by two pounds OF
meat, and the cost of the cheese per pound is
generally much less.-Neao York Times.
