A Land of Many Thirsts,

The Egyptian never travels without his
goolah. He fills it with filtered water,
and in the morning can command "a pint
or more of water cooled by evaporation
through the unglazed clay. This precious
fluid he does not waste on unsatisfied
thirst. Taking off the long white wrap
and the piece Of cloth that covers his
head during sleep, the native pours water
over his head, neck and hands. The Eu-
ropean, with all his instinct for cleanli-
ness, seeks first to relieve his oyermaster-
ing thirst. There are in Egypt as many
thirsts as plaques, but the dust thirst is
the worst. Every pore is sealed; the
throat is a lump of dry clay, and one feels
what it must be to be a mummy - Corr.

Different Kinds of Pickles.

There are many curious and excellent
pickles which are not commonly known.

their queer proboscis-ike end, have a
strong, rank odor and should be we'll

Bran as a Food for Sheen.

IN regard to. it's nutritive elements there
: IL no better food for sheep, or in fact any
OF the farm animals, than bran il. Its Gle.
3ments supply the most needed nutriment
for growth of the voting, and to sustain,
the strength Of the old: But it is some
times injurious on account of, it's niect1ani

breeder, that the exceedingly tender mu.
cous membranes of the bowels will be in.
2uriously affected by whatever may rough.
iy scour them, and thus the healthful &C.
non OF the whole of the digestive tract
may be disturbed in a serious manner; in.
deed the well-known laxative effect OF
bran, as given in the common ordinary
bran mash, is wholly due to this mechani
cal effect on the lining membranes of the
stomach and bowels: And, this is to be
taken into account whem ftfail is fed t.
lambs, who are not yet able to sustain
this Initiative result of this otherwise ex.
cellent food: 1t is on this account tina,
bran is usually given in a mash after hav,
ing been sodden with hot water for some
hours, and even then it has this laxative
result. If, then, we may consider bran
to be laxative when so prepared, and fol
mature animals, much more may we think
of it as altogether too much so for the
young and tenderer lambs. And if it il
fed without sufficient caution, discretion
and knowledge, of its character and re-
suits, we may look for trouble among the
lambs. When given incidentally in the
form of mash to old sheep it should al
ways be mixed with the soft: mucilaginous
linseed or oatmeal. The former is the
better of the two. For lambs about ready
for weaving, bran rightly used is an excel
lent food, for it contains precisely the right
kinds and proportions of the bone anG
tiesh-making elements of food. The wri
ter has fed a lot Of sucking lambs in prepa
ration for weaving them with ration OF
four. ounces of mixed cottonseed meal anC
bran. But the precaution is taken to run
the mixed feed through the mill to GRIND
it finely, and thus get rid Of the irritativt
effect Of the sharp scales Of thu
bran on the intestines. The eohstipat

separation will be apt to worry both,
and the colt to an injurious extent. Nor
should she be driven SO fast or SO far,

little such moderate exercise is bete-
fetal rather than injurious after the colt
is two or three months old.

Mafketiuu Garden vesetab1es.

Often half, or often less than this, of

when he has successfully grown his crop.
Their marketing iii good condition and
cheaply. is of the greatest Importance.
There is more often failure here; than
anywhere else in gardening. Frequent
sly such failure is made inevitable, by 10
eating the garden where its produce can
not find a near market. Such places are
also generally. difficult to manure, and
the necessary help to harvest the vege-
table crops as well ais to market them
cannot be easily secured The products
of the garden are much more bulky than
those of farm lands in ordinary crops.
The difference of a, mile or, two miles
in carrying each load to market becomes
an enormous burden when applied to the
bulkiest garden of vegetables. 1t is this
that makes land near cities and villages,
that is suitable for market gardening,
so dear as it is. And yet, the market
gardener who ~is wise will prefer this
highest priced land rather than the land
that is much cheaper because it is far-
thest from market.
