ing disease. The mind has power over
the body-for person to think he has a
disease will often produce that disea, e.
This we see effected when the mind is in.
tensely concentrated upon the disease Of
another. We have seen a person seasick
in anticipation of n voyage, before reach
ing the vessel. We have known people
to die of cancer in the stomach when they
had no cancer in the stomach or any
other mortal disease. A blind-iolded
man, slightly pierced in the arm, has
tainted and died from believing he was
bleeding to death. Therefore persons
should have their minds diverted as much
as possible from themselves. 1t is by
their faith that men are saved, and it is
By their faith that they die. Asa man
tbinketh, so is he. If he wills not to die,
he can often live in spite of disease and
il he has little or no attachement to life,
he will slip away AS easily az a child will
fall asleep. Men live by their minds as
we'll as by their bodies. Their bodies
have no lite of themselves they are only
receptacles of liie-tenements for their
minds, and the will has much to do in
continuing the physical occupancy or

Onts vs.. Corn for Rive stock.

Concerning this subject DR.. James,
the commissioner Of agriculture, of Geo
gia, writes IA follows:
Taking into consideration the cost Of
production, the chemical anal ysis and the
comparative freedom from stealagc, oats
are cheaper as stock food than corn.
One bushel or fiity-siX pounds of corn
costs fifty. eight cents, while one bushcl
or thirty-two pounds OF oats costs twenty.
nine cents, making difference OF thirteen
cents in tho cost of one hundred pounds
uf the two. Chemical analysis shows
that oats contain twelve per cent. o
a buminods, or flesh aud muscle produc'
ing principle, while corn contains ten
per cent. It will thus be seen that for
work animals, oats are more valuable
than corn IA food when equal weights
are used. Consider, now, that one hun
'red pounds OF oats costs thirteen cents
less than one hundred pounds OF corn.
and the case stands decidedly it favor OF
oats for work stock.
In iat-produclng properties, corn has
seven per cent. IL will be seen, there
fore, that when equal weights only M,
compared, corn has the advantage as a
f4t-producer. But taking the cost in
consideration, there is no choice in thi,
respect. Another decided advantage OF
oats for our climate, and especially ior
summer use, is, that while they supply
more muscle, they are less heating and
facilitating to the work animal consum
ing them. Still another advantage i
freedom from rotten grain and weevil
which frequently cause corn to injnr,
stock. Still another item in favor ot oat
