!. Keep the body clean. The countless
pores of the skin are so many little drain
tiles for the refuse of the system. If they
become elogged and so deadened in their
action, we must expect to become the
prey of ill-health in some one of the count
less forms. Let us not he afraid of a wet
sponge and five minutes brisk exercise
with crash towel every night or morn
ing.
2. Devote eight hours out of the twen-
ty-four to sleep. If a mother is robbed
of sleep by wakeful baby, she must take
nap sometime during the day. Even
ten minutes of repose strengthens and re-
freshes, and does good ''like medicine"
Children should be allowed to sleep until
they awake oftheir own free will.
8. Never 60 out to work in early morn
ing in any locality subject to damps, fogs
miasms, with an empty stomach. If there
is not time to wait for cup of coffee,
pour two-thirds of a cup of boiling water
on two teaspoonfuls of cream, or beaten
egg, season it with salt and pepper and
drink it while hot before going out. This
will stimulate and comfort the stomach,
and aid the system in resisting poisonous
or debilitating atmosphere.
4. Avoid over-eating. To rise from the
table able to eat little more is a pro-
verbally good rule for every one. There
is nothing more idiotic than forcing down
few mouthfuls, because they happen to
remain on ones plate, after hunger is sat-
isfied, and because they may be wasted
if left! 1t is the most serious waste to
over-tax the stomach with even half an
ounce more than it can take care Of
5. Avoid foods and drinks that plainly
"disaOree with the system. Vigorous
outdoors workers should beware of heavy
indigestible suppers. Suppers should al
ways consist oflight, easily-digested foods
being, in the country, SO soon followed
by sleep, and the stomach being as much
entitled as the head to profound rest.
The moral pluck and firmness to take such
food and no other for this last meal of
the day can be easily acquired, and the
reward of such virtue is sound sleep,
clear head, a strong hand, and capital
appetite for breakfast. st.-AmeTican Agri-
cult,wist for September.

bathing in and drinking the waters of the
Springs.
The Springs gush out from, seemingly,
a cave under the river bank, but few
feet above the waters of the river. The
waters come up with great force and flow
off into the river. The Springs are nearly
square, from 20 to 25 feet in diameter. and
enclosed by limestone rock. The waters
are strongly impregnated with sulphur
and their temperature is 72 degrees. The
river is about rs yards wide. There is
beautiful grove of live-oaks along the
river, which makes the place attractive
and affords nice shade from the suns
keen rays for those who resort to the
Springs. One great detriment to the
Springs is, whenever there is considera-
BILE rise in the river they overflow.

Egyptian corn, or Pampas rice, more
commonly spoken of as rice corn, has
been grown to some extent in Kansas for
the last ten years. The farmers at first
devotiDg only small patches ofground to
its cultivation, and gradually increasing
the breadth, without, however, making
any particular observation of its produc-
tue quality or its economic value. The
crop was generally assigned place in the
farm garden, and of the amount raised,
what was not reserved for seed the follow
ing year was usually fed to the chickens
1t being noticed that they preferred it
above any other food. In fact, many
raised it especially for poultry.
: Three years ago, farmer in Pawnee
county, thrifty Englishman, decided to
cultivate the article upon more extended
scale, and soon became convinced that it
was destined to be a desirable crop in
many particulars, the yield being large,
and the corn entirely satisfactory for
stock-feeding purposes. So in 1879 an
increased acreage was planted, and the
experiment tried in various other eoun-
ties of State, with almost uniform success.
These several trials demonstrated it to be
not only a useful, but a profitable, crop
for Kansas, and especially for the wes-
tern counties of the State, where drouth
prevails during summer, and rain cannot
be depended upon for the culture of In
dian corn or ordinary agricultural pur-
suits.
Reports concerning this new grain
were received by the State Board of Ag-
riculture from twenty-three counties-all
of the correspondents agreeing upon its
chief characteristics. 1t grew rank, yield
ed abundantly and with little labor, and
perfected its seed despite the dry wealth
er. The following extracts from letters
written by the regular correspondents of
the State Agricultural Board-all of them
practical farmers-show the extent and
nature of the crop, mode of cultivating,
and the effect of drouth upon it as COM
pared with other crops.-M D. Times.
