HOW NOT TO TAKE COLD.
Beneficial Effects of Cold Water and Al

Beneficial Effects of Cold Water and Air
Baths.
We should not simply undertake to
dodge a cold, but we should keep our.
selves on such high plane of vital re-
sistance to disease that a cold can not
catch us. We need to be in an unsus-
ceptible state of vigorous health, and
then there is small danger of contract
ing any disease. A cold is primarily a
nervous disease induced by bodily
state in which the circulation through
the nervous system has been disturbed.
Exposure to cold air and cold water or
contact with cold substances, are not
sufficient alone to cause us to take cold.
1t is only when there is an abnormal
| degree of reaction that harm befalls us.
A vigorous healthy body has power to
readjust itself and react without unfa-
vorable results. But if we shut our
selves up in hot, close rooms and wear
| superb bundance of warm clothing, the
skin becomes weakened, loses tone and
so can not protect us from cold by
proper reaction. Cool water baths and
air baths, accompanied by brisk rub
bing of the surface, are excellent tom
les for the skin, and one or the other
should be taken every morning, when
the night clothes are changed for those
of the day. Most people are ridicu-
lousy afraid of letting breath of cold
air or a dash of cold water touch their
bodies.-From Lecture by DR.. ] H.

so that the corn may not absorb
moisture from beneath, and that the
cats and terrier may have chance at
the rats and mice. However, the rats
will not infest crib under which there
is plenty of light. Make the crib on
high ground with enough slope to drain
well, taking care that the foundation
is level. The floor may be made of
puncheons. Trim off the slivers from
the upper side; otherwise it will be a
difficult matter to shovel out the corn.
A doorway is made by cutting through
three or four of the lower poles, mailing
board against their ends to hold them
in place A door is hinged to the out
side of the crib, and as the corn is
thrown in boards are placed inside the
crib across the opening. If they pass
beyond the opening only an inch at
each end, they can be removed easily
when it is desired to take out the corn.
The roof is made of clapboards or of
common lumber. If boards are used,
they should be just long enough to
reach across the crib. and the weights
placed on them should be put on their
ends. If the boards project, they will
split in from the end to the point
where they rest on the crib 1t is bet
ter to weight than to nail the boards
down, since they must be turned each
year to avoid warping.

way in the middle, which can be used
for a wagon or machinery shed most of

and the driveway is rooted over into a
loft for the storage of hoes, forks,
rakes and other light tools. The win

cutting and hauling the necessary tim

"PoIsoNED" APPLES.
The silly Cutlery Against American Fruit
by English Papers.


The recent excitement In England
against American apples. about which
inquiry has been made by some OF our
readers, was originated by the Hortt
cultural Times of London, and copied
by many of the prominent daily and
other journals. 1t was apparently
based on the common practice In this
country of spraying young fruit With
arsenites for the destruction of insects
by which the fruit, which before waa
distorted and deformed by them, waa
made smooth and fair. The London
papers referred to appear to take II
for granted that the sprayed fruit has
absorbed the poison, and SO much OF II
that it is unsafe to buy any more Amer.
lean apples, and that those who eat
them devour dangerous quantities OF
arsenic. The absurdity of this posi-.
ton is distinctly shown when 1t is
stated that the largest quantity of
Paris green (which is only part
arsenic) used in spraying, is only one
pound in 200 gallons Of water, or over
three hogsheads, making only one
part of arsenic in about 1000 parts Of
water. In spraying, not one part Of
the water in ten ever reaches the fruit,
but covers the leaves or drops TO the
ground, and not more than single
drop enters the calyx, and of this
single drop only one-seven-thousandth
part is arsenic-enough to kill young
insect which weighs only two.hun-
dred-thousandth part the weight of q
man. 1t is therefore necessary for .
man, to receive any injury from this
arsenic, TO eat at least six bushels OF
apples at single sittingl
But the Paris green is insoluble, and
does not enter the fruit ut all, and this
minute portion is all washed off by the
first shower, as DR.. Kedzie showed
with apples heavily sprayed on pur-
pose, where not the slightest vestigs Of
the poison could be detected by tho
mostsrigid test If our English friends
had been in the way of receiving pota-
toes from America some years ago,
which had been treated with Paris
green, they might with more propriety
have raised an excitement against
them, for larger quantities Of the poison
were used for the striped beetle, al
though it could never penetrate the
soil to reach the tubers, and could
never enter them when it got there,
from its insoluble nature. The truth
is that millions of persons eat such po-
tatoes every year without any harm,
and tens of thousands eat sprayed APP
Piles annually without injury. The
whole matter, as presented In the
English journals, naturally recalls the
account of the philosopher who wrote
an elaborate treatise to prove that .
man could write better on any subject
by knowing something about It --Coun-

A LESSON IN MANNERS.
Uncle Theodore Has an Encounter witt
Farmer Tumbledown.

Uncle Theodore Has an Encounter with
Farmer Tumbledown.
At one of the farmers institutes,
Theodore Louis, the veteran teacher
of hogology, had been relating to an
interested audience of farmers how he
bred, fed and marketed his hogs, Civ
ing minute details of the work, tending
brood sows, cooking squashes, clean
ing out the pens, supplying bedding
and everything pertaining to the bust
ness. AS he came down from the plat
form farmer with unkempt hair and
beard, slouched hat, greasy frock and
overalls, the latter tucked into pair
of dirty, coarse boots, met him and
said:
''Mr. Louis, do you pretend to say
you feed your own hogs?"
ooh, yes! When / am at home"
Sand clean out the manure?"
Certainly" said Mr.. Louis, with a
smile
"Well," said Farmer Tumbledown,
with sheer, "when man with stiff
hat, a black suit of clothes, gold
chain and shiny shoes tells me he
feeds hogs and cleans out the pen,
don't believe him.
This rather nettled the good-natured
champion of improved Swine hus-
bandry," and he said;
'My friend, did you learn anything
new of me, to-day?'
"Oh, yes" said Tumbledown, call
you said about breeding and feeding
was good, but i don't believe man
who dresses like you ever feeds hogs. y
There was an interested group of lis
teners gathered by this time, and, with
a twinkle in his eyes, Uncle Theodore
said:
Now, my friend, let me teach yoT
something else. If you want men tc
respect you and your calling. you must
show some respect for it yourself. Yor
ought to have enough ambition and
self-respect so that when you go tC
town or to attend an institute yor
would black your boots, put on de
cent suit of clothes and clean your
self up
The crowd seemed to appreciate th'
situation, and Tum bledown had bust
ness som ewhere else.
1t is not the farming but it is farmer
like Tumbledown that cause SOM
people to speak lightly of farmers
There is nothing in the business o
farming that needs to make boor of

are to be accepted as an index of occu
