l. II. Diet. This should be pure and
wholesome, and of mixed character. 1t
should a'so be moderate as to quantity
and regular. allowing neither too long
nor too short intervals between meals.
l2. Exercise. Daily exercise is necessa-
~ TO the enjoyment Of good health, and,
If possible, should be taken where the air
is pure. and free from smoke and other
impurities. The best forms Of exercise
are walking, riding, rowing, etc. When
outdoor exercise is impzacticable, the
dumb bells may be advantageous!y spb-
stituted. 8. Pure air. The thorough
ventilation Of the house or rooms We live
IN is another essential to beatsh, and
n.ust ON no sccount be neglected. NothiaE
is 70 conducive to sickness as hot and
stuffy rooms: and this remark j, especially
applicable to the bedroom, which should
be of sufficient size, permitting free
current of pure air TO pass through it
during the hours when it is not eccu-
pied. -.
And here it may not be out of place
to observe that it is not sufficient to open
doors leading into passages or sai1cases,
which may contain all the bad air Of the
house: neither does it do to open
windows looking into confined snd inn
pure places Ventilaticp, to be Of service,
must permit of the exit OF the bad air IN
such a wav that it cannot re enter, and of
the admission Of the pure air from the
best, source without. 4. Clothing. This
should be comfortable only, too much
wrapping up being quite as pr.judic,si
spted to the reason of the year, and
:hick underclothjng in the. winter and
light fer the summer; the feet a.>o should
be well protected by warm stockings and
strong boots. The custom Of p acing
thick iayels of flannel on 1he chest in the
form OF a chest protector is very much to
be de epreca.ed. except in tle case Of
really delicate p ecele. s. The bath.
This ,s valuauble adjunct TO h aith,
and should be taken during the summer
months, and With rhe chill taken of the
balance Of the year. A warm soap and
water bath should b. taken at bed time
once week or once q fortnight: or q
Turkish bath may be enjoyed by those
who can indulge in the luxury, care b: Ing
taken not t., drive, but to walk briskly
home afterwards, i the distance be not
TOO great. g.. A balm temperuent.
Those who arc SO constituted. OK who
have sufficient command over themsc yes
as to preserve this condition, have q vaiu-
able aojunct to health, Is there is perhaps,
nothing so prejudiclal in this age of over
work, both OF brain and booy, As the
worries and apxieties OF every day life.
The easy going, ,cven-tempered man. nust
digest bis food betrer, anu is less affected
by the daily wear and tear of life than
the passionate. impetuous and impatient
man, and will live longer. Z. R-st and
amusement. These are essentials to
health hence the proverbs, You cannot
burn the candle at both ends" and GAN
work and no play make JACK dull boy"
The want of rest may endanger life;
Jacks duliness will end in sickness.
Caring for NRk.-l. Never, under
any circumstances, put pail IT milk
into your can before straining. Ore pail
Of unstrained milk may spoil whole can
and one can of impure milk will Certainly
ipiure all milk or cream with which il
comes in contact. In the ZANE of de-
cency we beg of every patron to be par
,icul:r about milking and properly strain
ing his milk.
.. Cans containing i]k should never
be kept in q milking barn durin, the
night. The scent of the stable (however
we'll kept, = will in]ure the milk and spoil
the nice favor fresh butter should have.
An open shed, a little distance from the
barn, your woodshed, or a cool kitchen,
is the only proper place for keeping milk
over night. = .@:,>
g. Insist that your milking is done in
a cieanly manner. Too much pains can
not be taken in this particular. Careless
ness here will entail a great loss on the
manufacturer and insult the consumer.
4. Bed your cows with sawdust, if
possible; it will keep your cows clean
and the stable sweet
5. Do not, under any circumstances:
leave your pals and strainer at the barn
over night. Please carry them to the
house and insist that they be properly
washed both morning and evening.
Mucl, depends on this.
II 6. Use only tin pals fer milking.
Z. Tin strainer pals are the best for
straining milk. Same dairymen use
strainer pats and also cloth stretched
across the can, thus straining the milk
twice. We advise this double straining
Of milk. 1t costs you but little trouble,
while it, will greatly add to The value of
the butter and cheese made from your
milk k.--Amorriiican D1ir1v;u,adn.' ~ Ii - >
