How to Eat.
Cassell's Magazine.

The primary act of digestion takes
place in the mouth. A simple state
ment,s certainly, but more important
than it may at first sight appear. For
in the mouth the food is, or ought to
be, slowly and properly masticated.
This not only renders it more fit to
be speedily acted upon by the juices
OF the stomach (gastric) but enables
it to be well mingled with the secre-
tons of the salivary and parotid
glands. And what do these secre-
tons doa The answer is this: The
saliva contains a fermentive agent,
to which chemists have given the
name of 'tdistaste." The property OF
this distaste is that it changessthe
startch of the food into sugar, or
''dext1ine," which is soluble" the
former not being so. A portion of
this is actually absorbed into the
blood from the mouth. Again, this
dlastase is only active in an alkaline
versus an acid medium, another rea-
son why it should be mingled with
the food in the mouth and not in the
stomach. Slow mastication, then, is
OF the greatest importance If we
would live in health and avoid the
horrors of indigestion, with the thou
sand and one ills physical and men
tai that follow in it's train. Take
time to eat if you would be happy
Take time to eat if you would be we'll.

plain to them the reason why. A

have very few teeth, but my appetite
and digestion are good, which at
tribute to careful feeding. I have
found by experience that all kinds of
food, whether dry or moist, should
not be allowed to pass until reduced

| Let me draw the readers attention
to the words whether dry or moist. y
The aged but healthful writer does
not allow even moist food to pass at
once into the stomach. He is right,
but is. it not the common practice tc
bolt such food? Take, for example,
a supper Of porridge and milk, OF
well boiled hominy and milk. How
long do most people take to eat such
a meal?-and mind this: 1t is most
wholesome one. Why, about five
minutes. Can they wonder that il
disagrees, that it creates acidity and
quotations, fatulence, and all sorts
of disconforts, not the least disagree,
able of which are restless nights and
nightmare dreams?

HOME SUGGESTIONS

Do not keep drinking water in a
galvanized iron pail. The zinc coat
ing acts readily upon the water and
forms q poisonous oxide.
Boil your lamp burners about half
an hour, once month. This will re-
move the dust aud grease ana make
them as good as new"
Some people use a, piece of polished
steel to bake pancakes on, and often.
slve smoke is avoided, because the
griddle is not CREASED.
There is not much trouble involved
IN placing warm plates on the table
ct each meal during the winter. And
they are much nicer to eat from than
the cold ones.
A teaspoonful of lime-water stirred
in one-half tumbler of water and
swallowed directly after a hearty
meal will relieve symptom of indiges,
ton and the desire to take ''just forty
winks" of sleep.
To remove clinkers from the stove,
sprinkle common table salt on the
Innings when the stove is cold. Use
plenty of it. Build moderate fire
wood and coal-and in day or two
the clinkers will all be gone.

A Penalty Promptly Inf icted.
BROOKLYN Eagle,

An insurance man tells a story of a
telephone experience ia Detroit which
has both a serious and comica] as
pect. The Burnham wire works at
Detroit took fire, and the Waterman
on duty rang up the telephone lady,
who, as in this case made and provid-
ed, asked:
''What number do you want?"
Waterman: ''Give me the fire de-
partment.
Telephone Lady: "What number
do you want?"
Waterman: "Oh blank the blank
numbe; give me the fire department.
We are all afre. Blank, blank, blank
Guick!"
Then having notified the Ere de-
partment of the condition of things.
he rang up again and asked for the
house Of one Of the principals-th re-
ceiver, perhaps-and was informed by
the telephone lady that 'the service
at the Burnham WIRE works had been
discontinued on account of profane
language having been used"

DininS.room and Hail.
Good Housekeeping

At our house we live simply, and
we had to begin with modern means.
The dining room at frst was fur.
nished only with bare necessities
walls and floor were the same as the
the parlor; there were two or
three bright toned pictures: and a
funny little round table, in two stor-
les. did duty as a sort of buffet. This
was not new; it had been picked up
at great bargain, and revarnished
by Aunt Melinda, who had developed
most extraordinary passion for put
ting polish on things. Indeed, her
neice declared that she had been dis
covered walking in her sleep, pot and
brush in hand, in search of something
to varnish; and then she really feared
that her own features would glisten,
some fire morning with liberal coat
of paint.
The dining-room table was not new,
either, and that was another bargain /;
and the half-dozen chairs had been
brought in in an unfinished state and
covered with crimson stamped cloth.
For the crimson idea was to be car
ried out ia the dining room, too; and
that charming discovery of stamped
cloth at one-third the price of leather
was thing to be thankful for.
This was rather scant furnishing

Profits in Fruits.
Grange Advocate.

1t is known among farmers
that with our improved fruits as many
Or more bushels of berries can be rails
ed to the acre as there can be of corn
or potatoes and that with the same
care and cultivation. In fact by plant
ing varieties that are suitable for bed
grown to the acre without cultivation
than can be grown of corn with the
best of cultivation. For instance in
1870 planted half an acre of straw
berries and the first year gave it the
same cultivation I gave my corn, got
some berries and the plants took the
ground completely. The second year
gave it no cultivation and got q good
crop. The third year gave it no cal
tivation and got 100 bushels of ber-
RES. making a net 300 bushels per
acre.
At another time I had a small plaza
tation of one and one fourth acres,
consisting of several varieties which
yielded me $3.50 worth of berries and
had not cost me So cultivation for two
years. I mention these facts to show
how much fruit can be raised with
but little labor. Of course it is better
to give good cultivation, at least
enough to keep them clean, and lit
tie special cultivation will work won
ders. The Crescent strawberry has
been grown at the rate of 469 bushels
per acre. But don't consider that it
can always be accomplished. I mere
ly speak Of it to show the great posi-
bilities of fruit growing. Raspberries
and blackberries can be made to yield
200 bushels per acre, yet some men
think these things too small to putter
with, and will 90 on year in year out
growing ten bushels Of wheat, forty
bushels of corn, and fifty bushels of
potatoes, feeding their family on ''hog
and hominy," Ecornbread and Holas-
ses, and some time when they are in
town selling corn at 35 cents, a bushel
they buy a few berries at So. SO per
bushel to take home to Jane to pre-
serve and feel proud OF their liberality
and think they have done their duty
noblF, whereas if they had substituted
half an acre of the potato ground for
small fruits it would on an average
yield them fifty bushels of berries, or
four quarts for every day in the year.
Now, there is nothing to prevent far
mers from accomplishing this except
ignorance, and any horticulturalist
will willingly impart to them sufi-
Gent knowledge to make them reason
ably successful.

Treatment of Young Colts.


Colts shoald be kept growing from
the first, and taught to eat oats at an
early age. When weaned at five or
six months old, the milk of good
AYRSHIRE COW for six months longer
would give the colt very good start,
Besides this, he should have a few
quarts of oats daily, with plenty of
good, sweet early cut hay, Glover
timothy or red top, with an occasion
al feed of good straw. There should
be rock salt accessible at all times,
and good running or spring water,
and an occasional feed of carrots. This
treatment, with good warm quarters
and plenty of room for exercise, with
out being too much exposed 10 the
rigors of Northern winter, would
providing mis- breeding is all right, he
need not be ashamed, and an animal
worth much more than the average
two-year ODDS, being both larger and
finer. Oats are most excellent food
for colts, as they give muscle size and
style. An occasional feed Of carrots
in winter is most essential to the ami
mails health. AS substitute for car
rots, boiled fax seed is very goad; in
lack of either, an occasional bran
mash is almost indispensable, as the
bowels require to De gently kept open.
When the mare is worked Or driven
while sucking the colt, great care
should be used to prevent it from
sucking while the mare is over-warm
from exertion. The mare may be used
but should always fully cool off be-
fore the colt is allowed to suck. The
colt should be handled at & very early
age, and taught while quite young
that man is its master, but at the same
time his friend. The young colt
should be taught to like and not fear
his master. and may be well halter
broken (f practically when but a few
weeks old; as young colt well halter
broken, is much easier handled and
cared for than one that is not. He
should be taught to stand hitched by
the halter, in or out of the stable while
quite young.

But the great drawback to Japan
csc farming is the lack of improved
machines and implements. The far
mers still use simple primeval tools.
Recently machines of modern inven-
ton have been introduced, but they
are in most cases useless on small
farms of japanese peasants. The av-
erage size of the farms of Japan Is
about four acres. But if the farmers
reform the present system of farming,
the size of the farm can be increased,
and the more remuneration can be OBJ
tanned foom farming. The introduc-
ton of live stock and the success of
the culture Of other grain besides rice
are the important things to De aimed
at. The absence of live stock as q
part of the general farming is a mark
ed feature in the agriculture of Japan.
Again, almost two. thirds of the cult
waited lands are devoted to rice culture
and the rest for other grains and mix
ed products. We have still plenty OF
land that can be devoted to stock
farming. In regard to the population
| of Japan there seems to be some mis-
taken notion. Some persons seem to
have the idea that the Japanese PEG.
pie are packed as closely as canned
sardines. But it is only in the south
and the middle of Japan that the
country is well settled. IN the north
and especially in the Island of Yezo,
we have still large extent of fertile
lands in which the people are sparsely
settled.
''The agricultural products of Japan
| are almost as varied and numerous
as these OF the United States. The
coast line Of the country extends al
most as far as FROM Maine to Georgia
| The climate in the south is almost
tropical, while in the north its severi
ty can fairly be compared to that OF
the New England states. But on the
whole the climate is temperate, ans
the temperature is subject to 40 sud
den changes, SO that the country is
well suited for the purpose of agricul
ture.
cit has been the policy of the pres
ent government to encourage agricul
ture and its kindred industries ir
every possible way. Various ipstitu
tons Of learning in that special line
| have been in successful operation
| The farmers are wide awake, anC
ready to do anything to better THEN
condition. They were, in fact, the
class most benefited by the revolution
of 1868 They hold now their land
IN fee simple, and are no mere cult
vators of the soil. but also the owner:
Of the land which they cultivate"
