per diem, which should be taken all at
once, diluted with about 10 times the
quantity of water, CatillOu affirms that
glycerine improves the appetite and the
digestion, and acts gently on the bowels.
He does not recommend a larger dose,
but Harnack gave diabetic patients as
much as $50 to $50 grammes daily, in
association with animal food, and found
a marked Improvement in their general
condition, and a reduction in the
quantity of urine sugar and urea ex-
creted, the latter two results agreeing
with those obtained by Catillon in his
experiments on dogs and on himself.
1t is important, however, TO notice that
glycerine is a poison in large doses.

teen feet, There should have been more

picter book says hippo means horse, but
I think the first feller that said il that
way was a fool. cos horse is easier to
say. Hippose ia found in Africa, but
wen you have foand one wOt can you

Once there was man came up to an
other to give him a lickin, and said,
mad as ever he could be; 'Ive been
lookin for you, you wrasele, and I've
found you at last!
Then the other man he said: "That's
a fack, sure enough" and wen he said
it he picked big stick up. and the
man which had done the finding he
said:
eyes, I've found you at last, you
bet!" and the othern said he cudent
deny it, and was rolen up his sleeve.
Then the man that spoke first said:
''Do yOu kno wot street this is?" And
the other one said, ''Course l do, you
vagabone; it is kearney street."
Then the man wich was goin to do the
lickin, he thot vile and said: 80. if

OF his public lectures, in which he urged
farmers and experimenters TO drop the
practice of reporting milk by measure,
as quarts differ so much that one never
knows certainly how much COW gives
by the measure reports, and to adopt
the weighing system instead, gave 2.l5
pounds as his standard in practice, ii
being more convenient to use than the
exact fraction, and near enough for all
practical purposes. Since that time the
public generally have adopted 2.l5
pounds as the practical measure for a
quart OF milk, usually, however,
weighed warm from the COW. So COW
which gives 5334 pounds of milk in a
day is twenty quart COW, but such
cows are scarce.

HEADING CABBAGEs IN WINTER.-A
correspondent says he often sets out
cabbages 50 late in the season that the
heads are but half formed when the
winter sets in. just before the ground
freezes, deep furrow is plowed on a
dry, sandy knoll, the cabbages are care
fully lifted with adhering soil and set
as thickly as convenient in the natural
position. They are then covered with
a few inches of straw, and with the
same thickness of soil, partly by plow-
ing against them. The heads form
during winter, and they come out in
spring white and tender. We have en-
pioyed a mode somewhat similar for
the imperfectly heads of the cabbage
patch, by covering the trench with sup
ported slabs or old boards, and then
with straw and earth.
