We should make it our aim to light
en- our daily toll every way possible
doing all things well. All the work pos
sible should be done in sitting posture.
Save your feet. The high stool can not
be praised or recommended too highly
for this purpose. Furniture and cook
ing utensils should be light, but strong.
Chairs with perforated seats are an i'm
provement on the solid ones, and gran
tie iron ware ahead of all other ware.
Make the best of everything, and be
happy while you may.
1t is said that "there is scarcely q
malady to which the horse is subject
that is not hereditary. Contracted feet
curb, SPAWN, roaring thick wind and
blindness VIGOROUSLY descend from sire
or dam. Cattle being less exposed to
the existing causes of disease are not
subject to so great avariety of maladies,
and those which they have are less vio-
lent in character than in the case of the
horse, but thew are equally transmissi-
BILE, and should be avoided with the
same care by the breeder"
On the southern shore of Florida,
near Cape Sable, there is to be found q
species of thin-sheled CLANS, which the
Seminole Indians called manniheads. "
They are as much better than oysters as

Jersey clam. 1t is possible that these
precious bivalves, which bury them
selves about twelve inches under the
sands in their southern habitat, might
be coaxed to grow further northward on
our Atlantic coast. What friend of man
will take upon himself to try the expert
ment of transplantationP-P hiLddeiphid

corning fowls and their treatment
"Fowls intended for breeding purposes
should have all the exercise that it is
possible to give them. Those who con-
slider poultry worthless stock must
have kept the worthless kinds. or else
they know nothing about choice fowls
1t is better to spend your time improv-
ing one or two breeds than to be han
kering after others. unless you have
abundant means and plenty of room
Animal food occasionally for young OF
old fowls seems indispensable, but bet
ter give them insect food when they are
able to procure it for themselves"
