SELF CARE WHILE NURSING THE SICK.
TO those who are called upon TO nurse
the sick through long and severe illness,
it is of the utmost Importance, not only to
themselves, but to their patient that their
own health should be preserved and their
own strength maintained, not only
throughout the critical stage, but during
the period of convalescence, sometimes so
tediouslv prolonged. To all such we sub
nit the following simple precautions, to
aid them in preserving their own health
while attending the sick. If tho malady
of the patient be such as to cause any
marked odor of the breath or notable
exhalations from the skin, take care
alw Tvs to sit on the side of the bell or
sick person which is opposite to or away
| from the direction which the effiuvla takes
toward the windows or draft of fire.

carried away from you.Do not sit too close
to them, or take their breath if you can
avoid it. To keep ones own strength in
case of prolonged care, and particularly
If obliged TO sit up all night for many
nights in succession, great benefit Will be
derived from taking warm bath early IN
the morning, and putting on fresh under
garments every second morning; or if the
disease be particularly infectious in its
nature, it is best to change the under
clothing every morning. 1t will be found
that the warm bath, followed by brisk
rubbing of the whole body with a coarse
Turkish towel or flesh brush, will refresh
the wearied body almost as much as sleep;
At the same time keep up the sappetite and
strength by small doses of quinine, two to

A GOOD Word FOR ENsILAGE.-Pfo-
fcssor Johnson, of the Michigan agricul-
tural college, says this good word for
ensilage, after practically testing it:
was not at all sanguino when we began
the experiment as to the decided merits of
ensilage, as claimed by many writer's,
but | have been much pleased with the
result of the feeding, The convenience in
handling the prepared fodder; the large
amount that can be stored in small
place; the avidity with which cattle eat
it, and thrive and grow when u meal
ration is fed with it; the fact that it can
be stored in wet time, during lowery
weather, when fodder could not be cured ;
the furnishing of succulent food for the
stock during our long winters, at small
cost-these are some Of the reasons that
lead me to thi-k the ensilaging of corn
especially will prove to be practical and
profitable method of preparing food for
stock. | think it may take the place OF
roots and he cheap substitute for them
| am disposed to believe that the best
results will be secured by feeding one
daily ration of dry fodder in connection
with ensilage. The experiment shows
that it is not complete food ration. A
meal ration adapted TO the animal for
the desired result, must be fed with it
The last winter was exceptionally favora.
bic for the feeding of fodder of this charac-
ter, on account OF its extreme mildnoss,
the mean temperature being about twenty
four degrees during the time embraced in
the feeding. With severe weather the
results might be less favorable.

reason of this is that the croamcries are

There are cases on record whore fatal
disease has been communicated through |
the milk from families where disease
existed to the families that partook ofthe
milk. l do not believe that these germs
of disease passed through the body of the
cow, and thence through the milk and in
that way were communicated, but believe
that the water in which the milk cans were
cleansed or in which the milk utensils
were cleanscd had in some way become
infected and in that way the germs OF
disease were carried through the milk to
the families consuming it. There is moth
ing better established than that milk may
he, under such conditions, the transporter
of disease. Milk has the widest range in
the quality of its products and in the price
that they bring in the market. of any
agricultural product that is sold, and it is
owing to these peculiarities, and to the
nice things to be considered in manipula-
ting this product that one dairyman'S
butter brings 10 cents, which is more than
it is worth, while another brings so or
more. 1t is hedged about with difficulties

factories as the cause of disturbance of

When you attempt to make git.edged

you will find the path is narrow one
that you have got to tread; you have got
to have good cows; you have got to see
that these cows are we'll fed you have
got TO see that these COWS are MIXED at

human subject, any undue excitement on
the part of the mother, irregularity in

sleepless night with the babe. Just SO

improper materials, just SO sure that milk

1t is n general complaint among produce
dealers and spectators east and west that
farmers are holding their crops, more than
usual this year, for satisfactory prices.
TINS fact is attributed to two causes; first,
here seldom has keen a year in the history
OF American agriculture when farmers
were financially so well able to hold their
crops for remuneratve prices; and second,
ut no past time have farmers so well
understood the chances for fluctuations in
market prices. With the advance in cdu
cation and intelligence on the farms, the
owners realize that only II part Of their
business has been mastered when they
can raise the heaviest crops at the least
cost; the other part consists of fair
knowledge of the condition of crops in
other portions of the productive world,
and consequently of the probable range of
prices for their products. 1t must not be
forgotten, however, that temporary hurrics
in prices and sometimes long continued
periods of high or low rates are caused
by the manipulations of wealthy specula
tors, entirely regardless Of the real relations
Of supply and demand Against such
