FOOD IN SICKNESS.

Directions Which Will BE of Assistance to
Nurse and Patient.
Only a small portion of food should
be offered to any person with a delicate
appetite. 1t is very much better that
such quantity should be devoured
and the appetite crave more (which can
be SO easily prepared), rather than
that an excessive supply-especially if
not attractively presented-should
spoil the little appetite, and send the
whole away with loathing. No food
or drink should be allowed to stand in
the sick-room. Aside from the danger
of unwholesome absorption from the
atmosphere, as might very often be
the case, the constant presence be-
comes an offense to the eyes. and often
leads to loathing and dislike.
Another danger comes from excess
i've seasoning. For weak stomach it
is desirable oftentimes to have just the
right degree of splicing to gently stimu-
late, but it is even more important to
avoid an excessive, or that which will
do injury. Pepper should not be used,
and there is danger of being too gen.

and gentle stimulative diet should he
taken. This may properly include
nearly all albumens and mucilaginous
substances-fsh, game, beef, mutton,
poultry tyoung). eggs, peas asparagus.
baked potatoes, etc, with a proper pro-
portion of cooked fruits as an offset
Apples, sweet ones preferred. baked
with an unbroken skin, are excellent
Add no more sugar than just to make
the fruit palatable. Oranges are excel
lent eaten at the beginning of the
meal, especially in the morning. Hot
milk is regarded as one of the very
best stimulants. 1t must not be
boiled, but heated. as hot as it can be
comfortably taken, and should be
slipped, not drank; it is more digestible
if taken slowly.
Arrowroot is a reliable food for the
sick-room. and many can eat it when
little else that is available can be taken.
One good way to prepare it is to take d
teaspoonful of the powdered arrow
root, moisten it with a tablespoonful of
cold water, rub it smooth and add a Ia
blespoonful of warm water, then pour
on boiling water and stir till transpar-
emit Sweeten slightly, and add a little
nutmeg and other fiavoring if desired.
Another way, and by some preferred.
is to boil half a pint of milk. mix two
teaspoonfuls of arrowroot with little
cold milk and gradually add it to the
boiling milk. stirring it carefully SO
that there may be no Jumps. little
sugar or salt should be added, but care
must be taken not to overfiavor. Use
only the best arrowroot, as there are

ABOUT GRASS LANDS.
They Are Indispensable to the Successful
Raising of Stock.

They Are Indispensable to the Successful
Raising of Stock.
southern writer, while a little
brnezy in laying down rules for grow
ing clover, gives some good advice In
what follows: Permanent pasture and
meadow grass lands are regarded by
progressive farmers as Indispensable IN
successful raising of stock Since their
necessity is recognized it only remains
to discover the quantity of seed. nutri-
tiousness and adaptability to the eli
mate and soil in order to succeed. Any
land that will bring good wheat will
bring good clover, and any land that
will bring good oats will bring good
grass. This is a simple rule, and. If
followed. will save much troublesome
speculation. So many are discouraged
in their early efforts by the adultera-
ton of seeds, that we would urge great
care being taken in their selection.
Every section of our country demands
good permanent pasture and meadow
grass lands. Winter feeding is now as
necessary in the west and south as it
has long been regarded in the north
and east The west, since the aban-
donment of the free range system, finds
it absolutely necessary to prepare win
ter feed, either of domestic or wild
grasses. Cattle there are confined
within limits and, in severe weather,
their ancient privilege of rustling at
large is now denied them. The south
finds it to her interest to investigate
and adopt the most nutritious grasses
if she would not lose in competition
with winter-fed stock brought to her
markets from more northern states.
Good, rich meadow grasses not only
make the sweetest and most nutritious
hay, but the cheapest feed in the
world. The inexperienced farmer has
suffered many disappointments in OBJ
tanning good pasture and meadow
lands, and this has been attributed to
various causes We cannot too
strongly recommend to those interest
ed in the best development of their
stock and soil, that they supply them
selves with books of unquestioned au-
thority on the subject of grasses, and,
in fact, on every subject pertaining to
their vocation. Too much reliance on
crude ideas may prove III the end a
costly investment Husbandry is as
much a science as medicine or engl-
neering, yet many farmers scarcely be-
lieve it. Rather are they inclined to re.
gard as superhuous any study of the
subject at all, and elect to blunder
along in the old rut or IN ruinops ex-
pertinent If their profits are small
and mode of procedure burdensome, it
may at least arouse them to the neces-
sity of a change and to the conviction
that it is quite as essential for the
farmer to seek the assistance of COM
petent authorities as it is for the medi-
cal man or engineer who desires sue
cess in his respective calling. -Western
