Adjustment Of Poo

1uulSeSuOu LIZ UDe source OF o multi
tude of diseases. In fact, disease neces-
sarily follows long-continued derange-
ment of the digestive organs. The
stomach is the laboratory in which the
most wonderful chemical processes are
constantly going on. Whatever is tax
en- into the stomach is at once acted up
IN chemically and the Wholesome and
nutritious portions go to build up and
strengthen the system, while the effete
matters are expelled through the var1-
ous channels. Now, when the food is
crude and indigestible, or when good
food is not properly masticated and
mingled with the saliva before it
enters the stomach, it lacks a very
important element, and the diges-
tive organs are subjected to great
fatigue in efforts to prepare it for
its work OF sustaining life. When we
consider the difficulties with which
the stomach has to contend; of improp-
er food forced into the stomach in a
crude state and frequently in excess of
the requirements of the body; of liquor
drinking and tobacco using; the fact
that three adult persons out Of every
four are of unsound health, and that
the average term of human life is less
than half what it should be under cor
rect methods of living, should surprise
no one.

until he loses it.
The most absurd excuse for neglect
of duty to ones self is that he cannot
always be boxing after his health. In
other words, hehas notthe moral power
to abstain from excuses that weaken the
body and shorten life, as surely as night
follows the day.
Whats man eats and drinks habitually
has much to do with the condition Of
mind and body.
The stomach is the fountain-h head
from whence the body draws it's sup
plies. The old Roman idea of manli-
ness was a Sound mind in q sound
body 1t is encouraging to know that
the more intelligent OF the present gen.
Grafton are adopting this view. and It is
this class that is now paying the most
attention to the law of health. All col
leges encourage to-day what they con-
oemned twenty years ago; as boat rae
ing, ball playing and regular systems
of exercise. If an engineer we're to load
the safetyyalve and build q fire under a
steam boiler, and keep the fire replen-
ished for q time without starting the
engine, he would produce an explosion.
If a man eats heartily, and leads an in
dolent life, a similar trouble occurs;
his body is filled with the products of
digestion; fat and fluids accumulate,
and the muscles become soft and weak:
more blood is made than the system re-
quires. and the excess becomes q dan
gerous obstruction in the current of life,
and the explosion may GOMEZ the form
of apoplexy. The remedy is to adopt
the quality and the quantity Of the food
to the daily requirements Of the body.
Remember that labor, or active and suf-
ficient exercise every day, is imperative-
" demanded if We expect to keep we'll.
Let the food be plain but nutritious,
and avoid rich pastry and other indiges-
tible foods. Adjust the food supply to
the bodily activities. -HalI's Journal Of

Swine.
Young pigs should be pushed for the
early market. They much enjoy a run
in the clover. The orchard is a favor
tie place for pigs when they can eat the
fallen fruit and grow fat upon the worms
destroyed.
The Yorkshire swine are divided into
three glasses the large Yorkshire, small
Yorkshire and middle Yorkshire. Ex-
cept as regards size the large and small
Yorkshires are very similar, but the
middle clsss may be said to be quite
distinct in appearance, shape and quail
ty from the others.
While it is true that, as q rule, the
pig is one Of the most profitable Of our
domestic animals, it is also evident that
the amount of profit he can be made to
bring will be governed largely by the
difference in methods OF keeping and the
intelligence or skill with which he is
handled.
Swine breeders have not sufficiently
borne in mind the variation in the
amount of lean meat found in the car
casses Of different hogs. The Berk-
shire is universally credited with hay-
ing more lean than any other breed,
but they. as we'll as other classes, vary
in this regard. By closely scanning
the cut up carcasses, giving preference
