ton consists in a cooking steamer
constructed with a vessel having
inwardly projecting beads near its
upper and lower ends, and provided
with a perforated lower partition, a
close upper partition, and a water re-
turn pipe. The cover OF the vessel has
a conical top, and Is provided with an
annular trough and a water discharge
pipe. Upon the top of the cover are
two compartments. provided with wire

A No,sl method for admInisterine

LL.A
A Nouel method for administering
~lourlshment to invalids and persons
with weak digestion has been practlsed
in Paris with great success. Diseases
aud enfeebIed health commonly owe
their origin to the imperfect asslmila-
ton of food. When the digestive
functions are impaired the body is in
sufficiently nourished, and Is unable to
resist the encroachments Of disease.
For the maintenance Of health and
for restoration In sickness 1t Is OF the
first Importance that the food be not
only Of the nourishing kind but that 1t
be administered in a form easy Of di.
gestlon and assimilation. In a paper
recently communicated to the Medical
Hospital Association of Paris by DIR.
Debove he describes a form OF allmen.
tatiOn which has attracted much atten-
ton. His system Is to apply nourish-
ment In form OF powder instead OF In
bulk. Uncooked meat, from which fat
has been removed, Is minced finely and
allowed to dry in a oven at about 90
degrees G, until 1t becomes perfectly
hard without being burnt. 1t is then
reduced to impalpable powder by poun-
ding in a mortar and passing through
a fine sieve. The powder so obtained
represents about four times Its weight
in 1esh.. The fibre and the large per-
centage Of water contained in flesh are
thus removed and the essential proper
ties of the meat are retained, and pre-
sented In a form the least difficult to
digest. Other ~alimentary substances.
such as ~lentils, beans, peas, &c., can
be prepared in the same way. In cases
Of consumption the treatment is said
to have proved marvelously successful,
and In general debility and nervous
disorders, arising from weakness, res
~toration is rapid and permanent. A
few spoonfuls of the powder are equal
to the meal of a person with a healthy
appetite. The powder may be taken
with a little milk, gravy, wine, water
or other liquid, and when bottled Will
keep an Indefinite time.

ment, by which each orchidlst may de-
termine the question for himself. Cut
a few large limbs from some apple tree
in the fall. In the spring, in April or
May, do the same, treating the wounds
the same in both cases, Next fall ex-
anime the wounds. l predict that you
will find the wounds made in the fall
have cracked deeper and have not
healed so well around the edges as
those made IN the spring. An apple
tree i'll the pasture OF by the roadside
will answer as well as any for the ex-
pertinent. A good time to cut cions is
the last Of November; and a good way
TO keep them is to stick the butts into
the earth under the tree from which they
are cut, and cover with fir bougha
They keep well thus till May, and graft

ing for wounds made in pruning. 1t
Is a little more costly than red paint,
but is enough better to justify the extra
expense. In planting grape vines, apple
and pear trees dig deep and place under
each half a bushel OF more of broken
bones, mixing them well with the
earth. If you plant early hearing var

from the branches in five or six years
