Food for Health.


It's difficult to lay down any
Sstrict rule as to the amount Of
Rod to be taken in twelty-four
hoQirs BY grown up people.
Mem require more animal food
thanl women. and those engag-
ed iiq active exercise require
muchf. more than those who
lived sedentary life. Laborers
can get through much more
work in a day when well fed
than when living on a moderate
diet. The different kinds Of
food should be well apportion-
ed; il is equally bad to live on a
purely farinaceous diet as it
would be to take only fat or
meat. What is required for a
state Of health is to take a fair
proportion of each. 1t is i'm
portant, also that meals should
be taken with regularity, as it is
a very bad plan to allow inter-
walls Of varying lengths between
meals. It has been estimated
that the food required every
twenty-four hours by a man in
full health and taking free ex-
ercise, is ofmeat 10 o., and 10
o., bread, fat 8 IL OF, and Of
water s. fluid o.; that is about
IL ID of solid food, and about
three pints Of fluid.
Brenham weekly banner. [volume] (Brenham, Tex.) 1877-1907, 1881-09-01

For the last three years, it is
said, there has stood in the i'm
mediate neighborhood ofSparta
a gigantic cypress, the very
same tree which of old found
mention in the pages of Paus-
anias and other antique Greek
historians. 1t reared its stately
head to a height of one hun
dred and sixty feet above the
ground, and its dark foliage
overshadowed a space nearly
three hundred feet in circum-
ference. 1t was a source of
profit as well as of pride, to the
inhabitants of Sparta, for its
worldwide fame annually at
tracted hundreds of curious
tourists from all parts of Europe
whose temporary sojourn in its
vicinity brought no small
amount of grist to the Spartan
mill. Only the other day this
venerable sylvan patriarch was
ignited by aband of gypsies
while cooking their midday
meal under the shade of its leafy
branches, and burned to the
ground despite strenuous efforts
made to save it from annihila-
ton. 1t would appear that this
grieyous accident is regarded
by the Greek populace as of
evil omen to the enterprise in
which the Hellenic nation is just
now embarked.

Dried Fruit.

Ha
An enormous increase in the
evaporated fruit business is TAX
ing place in Western New York.
the recent legal delegation that
there is no monopoly of the
sulphur process of bleaching
having had stimulating effect
on the industry. The opinion
of American experts is that the
fruit can be dried by the evap-
orator cheaper than by sunlight,
and the product is immeasur-
ably better. A single New York
firm last year evaporated TWEEN
ty thousand bushels and bought
fruit evaporated by others
equivalent to three hundred
thousand bushels. OF this a
London house took one hun
bred and sixty tons, and has
doubled its order. The grow
ers throughout New York state
are pre- pared to develop the
foreign market for the product.
Each evaporation viii dry one
hundred bushels ofapples a day.
Girls are employed at the work,
and earn from sixty cents to a
dollar a day. After the apples
are pared and sliced, which is
performed at one operation,
they are bleached by exposure
to sulphur fumes for an hour;
and the double process keeps
them edible for an almost in
definite period:

F'armers are advancing in in.

Farmers are advancing in in
teligence and social position.
They have always held a sec
-endsry position, and do at this
time, even in this country. Still
they are far better off than the
farmers of the old world. There
they are not allowed to sit at
the same table or associate in a
social sense withe the nobility
or aristocracy. Here they
should be the nobility, if such
class existed, for they are the
foundation of our national sup
erstructure. Other classes
would. soon "play out" we're it
not FOR the fresh vigorous blood
of the Country cousins" that is
constantly flowing into them.
Those who are standing at the
top Of professions to-day are
country born. The brains of
the farming class are all right.
All they need is culture, gener-
al culture. When that is given
the farming profession will stand
higher. and exert more power
and influence than all other pro-
fessions combined for they
outnumber them all.

An agricultural paper is as
essential TO a farmer, says the
Rural Home, as a headlight is
to a locomotive. There are
times when safe speed is made
without it: but in the uncertain
darkness, its steady light thrown
far ahead, reveals distractions
and prevents many a wreck. To
the farmer, the light of other
peoples experience is Of untold
value; making the way clear,
when without it he might sigh
over sickly looking crops and
wonder whether it were better to
put manure or a mortage on his
land. When ] hear a man say
