In making poultices to use in warm
weather use water instead OF milk. as
there is less danger OF it becoming

run; spread it on old linen of four or
five thicknesses.
We should hardly call it a system of
rotation Of crops where the same one
was raised upon the same land for
more than two successive years.
Would prefer a different crop each
year. Hay might be possible excep-
ton to this rule; with good dressing
OF fine manure each year, land might
remain to grass more than two years.
When few fowls are kept on the
Kitchen scraps, they often, if rightly
managed, yield larger returns than a
large flock but half attended to
There is no disputing the fact that all
poultry require careful management
to make them pay. and when this is

Persons exposed to summer heats
and obliged to exercise in the sun
should by all proper means endeavor
to promote perspiration. Excessive
drinking of ice water will not do this.

vital temperature below the proper

reaction against the heat, but water
moderately cool and used freely will
