SAlIcYllCA is known as q common

Animals need good water as well Al
men do. We all know more or less
about the effects of filthy water on the
human system. Many and dangerous
diseases come from lis use, perhaps
more than from any other cause. 1t
is precisely the same with animals
We believe, says the Kansas Farmer,
and our belief is founded on many
years observation, that most of the
fevers in cattle, sheep, horses and hogs,
are caused by the drinking of impure
water. We have lost cattle that we
believe died from that eanse alone.
Only four years ago we lost good
COW, and no cause could we find that
could have possibly produced the fe-
yer of which she died, except the stand
ing water she drank out on the open
prairie We have seen many instances
of supposed Texas fever in places
where no Texas cattle had been for
years.
The subject is very important one,
and farmers and stockmen need to ex-
ercise much caution and prudence in
the matter.

Oatmeal is food of great strength
and nutrition, having claims to be bet,
ter known and more widely used than
it is at the present. OF much service
as a brain food, it contains enough
phosphorus to keep a man doing an
ordinary amount of FRAMEWORK in
health and vigor All medical author
tiles unite in the opinion that, eaten
with milk, it is perfect food, and,
having all the requisites for the dcvcl-
opment of the system, 1t is a pre-cm-
inentIy useful food for growing chill
dren and the Young generally. Dat
meal requires much cooking to effect
ually burst its starch cells, but when
1t is well cooked it will thickcn liquid
much more than equal its weight in
wheaton -four. The oats of this coun-
try are superior to those grown on the
continent and the southern part OF
England but certainly inferior to the
Scotch, where considerable pains are
! taken to cultivate them, and it is need
less to point out that the Scotch are
an example of a strong and thoroughly
robust nation, which result is Justly
set down as derived from a plentiful
use Of oatmeal. Dr. Guthrie has as
serted that his countrymen have the
largest heads of any nation in the
world-not even the English having
such large heads-which he attributes
to the universal use of oatmeal, as uni
versa it is, being found alike on the
tables of the rich and the tables of the
poor-in the morning the pOrridgc
and in the evening tic traditional
cake. The two principal ways Of cook
ing oatmeal are p0rridge and cake
(bannock) which | will describe. First,
then, we will commence with a recipe
for porudge: To three pints of boil
ing water add a level teaspoonful of
salt and a pint of coarse meal, stirring
while it is being slowly poured IN !;
continue stirring until the meal is diff
fused through the watcT-about eight
or ten minutes. Cover it closely then,
and place it where it will simmer for
an hour; avoid stirring during the
whole of that time. Serve hot, with
as little messing as possible, accom-
panied with milk, maple-syrup or So
gar and cream. To make oatmeal
cake, place in a bowl a quart of meal,
add to it as much cold water as will
form it into a soft, light dough, cover
1t with a cloth fifteen minutes to allow
it to swell, then dust the paste-board
with meal, turn ont the dough and
give it a vigorous kneading. Cover it
with the cloth few minutes aud pro
coed at once to roll it out to IN eighth
of an inch in thickness; cut it in five
pieces aud partly cook them on grid
die, then finish them by toasting in
front of the fire.

would not take 1t upon myself to try
to expla& to my superiors the art of
farmlng-for an art l take it to be-
and still it is hardly praeticed as an
art in this section of country. shall
write about farming in general and the
wav the most of the farmers farm.
They begin IN the spring time to break
the land, that is to bed it up, without
manure; plant a few acres in corn,
many in cotton, when it should be the
reverse. The next thing they do is
to go to town and mortgage what they
have planted to get supplies, They
commence to work the crop, get it
about - laid bv," as we or they term
it, and the next thing they know the
merchant tells them that they can get
no more supplies until he begins to
gather his crop, which he does not
like very well, although he has to sub
nit to it. He gathers his crop, car
ries it to his merchant and tells him to
take it, that is the cotton part, which
he very willingly does, and sometimes
the corn too, which leaves the poor
farmer without anything to go upon
through the winter, and he has to
tough it through the best he can, as
vel as docs his stock. what few he
may have. He has very little hay in
his loft, if loft he has. He Las no
rack to put his hay in, consequently
his cows have to eat their hay of of
the ground, without any shelters to
stand under. They simply have to
huddle up by the side of the house
that they can get to. His horses are
not much better off, except that they
get a partial shelter to stand under
and few ears OF corn; and his sheep,
if he has any, oh where are they ?
Down N the bleak fields with the
dogs after them IN all probability and
the owner careth not enough for them
to go after them. And his hogs, they
are in a condition that cannot de
scribe, except that they are in pen
with more mud in it than ANYTHING
else, where the corn is thrown in
where it may be found the following
