plymouth Rocks.

There seem to be but few other va
rieties in the product of American
skill in breeding that can be put on
the markets in this country with so
much pride as the Plymouth Rocks.
There are only two or three others
that are received from our shores by
foreign fanciers with such favor. The
strongest proof of the superiority of
this breed Is that Il has successfully
stood the boom of a score of new vari-
cites and has met and vanquished in
ferior ones and still lives. Other
breeds have their booms. but the
Plymouth Rock keeps on its steady
course, winning greater and greater
popularity with each succeeding year.
This favor has been won by merit,
and by merit IL retains what 1t has
won. II is the farmers favorite for
meat, size, laying qualities, vigor and
quickness of growth. There are few
breeds that will not suffer by compari-
son. The difficult union of qualities
places Plymouth Rocks among the fa-
vorites. For market they are one of
the best breeds. being large, plump.
bodied and full breasted. with clean
yellow legs, while the meat is sweet

more idealism we start with, the more
certain to receive. the more joyous life
will turn out to be as we go on living.
The dreariness of the middle-aged
view of life springs largely from the
fact that its ideals are so shrunken as
to be no longer a source Of vitality,
of renewal. AS long as we believe
in life, and in love, and in friendship,
and in heroism, and in other ideal pos

Small Fields Preferable.

Though they may require a great
deal more fencing. small fields are de.
cidedly preferable 20 large ones; yet
the reason may not be apparent at
first thought, TO every one. A change
is often very beneficial both to man
and beast. and this change may be
had for our stock IL we will only run
a few cross fences. In large pastures
1t Is necessary to allow our stock to
remain in one field too long, so that
after so long confinement in one field
the grass becomes scented and is not
relished so well. Then. too. portions
of a large pasture will be allowed TO
grow up and fall on the ground, when
1t loses its strength and is not so
sweet and tender. In order TO have
the best pastures they should not be
allowed to grow too tall before they
are grazed off. thus affording more
and better pasture. Frequent chang
ing is very beneficial to the health of
live stock; especially is this true Of
hogs and sheep. Many contagious dis.
eases may be prevented, or arrested
when begun, by turning into new
quarters, where the atmosphere is pur-
er. Changing from one field to an.
other will often give a change in the
variety of grasses, which often works
much good. The greater the variety
of grasses, the better the pasture. I
am an advocate of mixed pastures
for all kinds of live stock, and have a
great many lots around the barn for
changing stock and giving those
which have been stabbed n great deal,
a chance to sun and to breathe fresh
air. These few conveniences will
work a great deal of good in a life
time, and the more we do in this line
the more we will want to do.-Thurlow

Wonderful Characteristic.

Americans faithful fishing rod or Q

Chinese. who are the most practical
agriculturists in the world, 1t is as in
dispensable , as the white pine to the
American farmer. They are not only
dependant upon II for much Of their

Vulnerable other articles out of II.
There are many varieties of the BAN
boo plant, from the species which Is
woven into mats TO the tall bamboo
tree which the Chinaman uses for the
mast of his large boat. One variety
is cultivated as a vegetable, and the
young shoots eaten like asparagus, OF
they may be salted, plckled or pre-
served.
The rapidity Of growth of the BAN
boo is perhaps its most wonderful
characteristic. There are actual re
cords of a bamboo growing three feet
In single day, or at the rate of one
and one-half inches an hour.

BRAIN REST.
Medical Disquisition or the Curative
Properties Of Prolonged Sleeps.


AS long ago as 1883 DR.. ]. Leonard
Corning of New York brought forward
this plan of managing functional ncrv-
ous disorders in a monograph entitled
Brain Rest, a Disquisition on the
Curative Properties of Prolonged
Sleep" and in a subsequent edition,
published in 1885, the whole matter
of practical management was elaborat-
ed to the last detail, says the Medical
Record. DR.. Corning observes that
"as applied to the brain, rest implies
something totally different from that
which is described by the term when
used in connection with the muscle,
joint or spinal cord. This radical diff
ference is chiefly owing to the fact
that the brain being an organ, of the
intellectual processes, rest in so far
as it concerns that organ, means moth
ing less than cessation of mentGli-
zation, with all thereby implied. 1t is
impossible by a mere fiat Of the will
to cause cessation of thought; the
very idea embodics contradiction,
for the will as physiologically under
stood is itself product of very COM
plicated intellection, and cannot, there
fore, he regarded as a thing sui gen
eris-a something without the pale
of other psychical processes Only
during sleep is the ideal repose of
the cerebral faculties realized. But
while n physiological amount of sleep
is sufficient to achieve this in health,
the period of unconscious repose must
be greatly augmented when by over
taxation or inordinate mental strain
the nerve cell has become devitalizod,
and is no longer nble to hoard UP a
sufficient store of energy during the
usual period of unconsciousness. IL
is in such cases that prolonged sleep,
a sleep continued for 10, 10, or even
20 hours at a time, achieves the most
striking results.
"As a rule" observes DR.. Corning,
81 am in the habit of secluding the
subject in a darkened room, eventual
ly tor from 10 to 10 hours at time.
according to the amount of sleep IL
is desired should be had during the
"a hours. do not, however, attempt
great things in the way of sleep at
first; but, on the contrary, the dura-
tion of the period of unconsciousness
is progressively increased by the
utilization or habit, hydrotherapy. ap-
propriate food, and, in urgent cases,
modeh'ate medication" In extreme
cases the period of sleep is prolonged
to as much as 20 hours at time, the
patient being awakened and given
small quantities of nourishment and
then allowed to sleep again. He
warns, moreover, against the evils ac-
cruing from attempts to keep in bed
nervous, irritable persons while in a
conscious condition. Such individuals
should be told to lie down only on
the appearance of drowsiness, which
in intractable cases, may be brought
on by the moderate use of sedatives,
during the latter part of the day, and
exceptionally by the exhibition of hyp-
notes before retiring. Redundancy,
then, is purely incidental, the prolong-
ed Inconsistencies is all. In thus
strenuously insisting on the radical
difference between cerebral and or
binary corporal rest. DR.. Corning has
rendered a substantial and practical
service.
