Because blood is solicited toward the
stomach to supply the juices needed in
digestion. Hence the brain receives
less blood than when during fasting,
becomes pale, and the powers grow
dormant. Sleep therefore ensues.
This is physiological. The sinking
sensation is a call for food. Wakeful-
ness often is merely symptom of hun
ger. Crafty the desire and you will
sleep, The writer recently was called
at 2 o'clock a. m. to see lady who as
sured him she was dying. The body
was warm, the heart was doing honest
work. To her Indignation, he ordered
buttered bread (hot milk or beef tea
were bette) to be eaten at once.
Obeying, the moribund lady was soon
surprised by return Of life and desire
to sleep.
The feeble will be stronger at dawn
if they eat on going to bed. Fourteen
hours lie between supper and breakfast.
BY that time the fuel of the body has
become suspended. Consequently the
morning toilet fatigues many. Let
such eat at bedtime, and take a glass
of warm milk or beef tea before rising.
Increased vigor is the result, "But
the stomach must rest" True. Yet
when hungry we should eat. Does
the infant stomach rest as long as the
adults? The latter eats less often
merely because his food requires more
time for digestion. Seldom can one
remain awake until half past ten OF
eleven p. m. without hunger. Satisfy
it and sleep will be sounder.
During the night give wakeful chill
dren food. Sleep will follow. The
sick should invariably eat during the
night. This is imperative. AT night
delicate children may take, slowly,
warm milk, beef tea, or oat meal Cruel.
vigorous adults may also eat bread and
milk, cold beef, mutton, chicken and
bread, raw oysters, all of course in
moderation. Do not eat if you are not
hungry. Eatif you are. -Ex.

Eating at Night.

Popularity, it is thought injurious, but
unless the dinner or supper have been
late, or the stomach disordered, it is
harmless and beneficial, j. e., if one be
hungry. Four or FIVE hours having
elapsed since the last meal, invalids
and the delicate should always eat at
bedtime. This seems heretical, but it
is not. Food of simple kind will in.
duce sleep. Animals after eating in
stinctively sleep. Human beings be-
come drowsy after full meal. Whyi

Yesterday was a regular weather

when it commenced showing briskly

seeds several inches deeper than COW

says the snow is falling so rapid that it
bids fair to match the big snow of
March 1843, when it fell to the depth
of eighteen inches and did not disap>
pear until the first Of April. She says
we had not plantedlany garden up to
the time of that snow, and did not
have an opportunity to pillow or plant
that year until late in April. Yet we
had in this country a magnificent crop
in 1843, and I hope we may have such
in 1884:
The sorghum crop is booming up for
this year and great many will plant
who know but little about the crop.

over it-by this means the seed will
come up quickly and get the start of
the grass and weeds-lf the seed are
not soaked the grass and weeds will
get the start, and it is the very mis-
chief to get them out. The sorghum
is like grass at the start and very ten

and it is well started there is very lit,
tie trouble in cultivating.
4. There should be two crops-one
to commence grindingin July and first
of August and the other for grinding
in September and October, So that
the first planting should be made about
the 18th of April, of Amber seed, and
the second planting for late grinding
about the 18th of May or June, grown
from Honduras seed, Crook neck or
Red top. If the Amber is cut off by
the 18th of July and the season is
favorable and profitable, crop may be
cut from the same ground in October
to feed the mules and hogs. If these
rules are observed and the season fa-
vorable, the planter may calculate all
the way from eight to twenty tons Of
cane to the worth 81. 80 per ton.
