FEEDING THE SICK.
A Little Talk on the Art of keepfni
I'm Fair shape.

The natural tendency OF people is to
blame some of the diseases to which
the flesh is heir on the weather. The
weather is often unpleasant. and re,
sponsible for a great deal of discom-
fort. but if our bodies were In good
condition we could easily resist these
attacks of the weather.
Rheumatism, neuralgia, tonsilitis,
grip, govt, influenza and colds are
mainly caused by an excess of uric
acid and other waste products.
The laws of health are few but in
exorable. The demands Of the body
are for fresh air, plenty of water. exer-
else, rest and enough food-not too
much
The skin plays an important part
in getting rid of waste products. So
We should battle often and rub the
body thoroughly.
The lungs are also an agent Of puri-
fication. So we should breathe deeply
all the fresh air we can, night or day.
The blood is an agent. So we should
exercise, to quicken the circulation. 1t
is better than a tonic at a dollar a
bottle.
We should drink freely and often,
water Never mind what the Southern
gentleman said. That water was good
for navigation, but was a mighty poor
drink"
The waste products in the body can
not be removed, unless water Is fur
nished. 1t carries of the waste, and
cleanses the body at the same time.
We need at least six glasses a day.
One In the morning when we get up.
a half hour before breakfast, two glass
es during the morning, two during the
afternoon. and one at night before go
ing to bed. Some people think hot
water more stimulating and beneficial.
It is particularly good to drink hot
water one-half hour before meals; this
cleanses the stomach and tones II up
for the meal.
Then good eating habits should be
established We should have a mod
crate diet of well-cooked food. In
cases where there is an excess Of uric
acid, beef and mutton should be avoid
ed, also pastry, sweets. cakes. coffee,
tea. malt or alcoholic drinks.
There are plenty Of things that can
be eaten. Fresh, ripe fruit and all
cooked fruits are good. ut is an ex-
ploded theory that acids in vegetables
and fruits give rise to uric acid.)
Nuts may be eaten. Graham or en-
tire wheat bread, cereals, fish, milk,
eggs, buttermilk are good.
Common sense is a safe guide in
matters of diet. Only general rules
can be laid down. The old saying,
What is one mans meat is another
mans poison" is often true.

Draft Horses Good Sellers.


Prof. Kennedy of the Iowa Bureau
Of Animal Industry told the men of
his special course that draft horses
are the horses for the average farmer
TO raise. for they do not require the
special preparation for market in the
way of training. ETC., that light horses
or coach horses do. and are less dam
aged by blemishes, which will frequent
~ appear even on colts that are care
fully cared for. In addition to this,
the draft horse can be broken when he
is but a 2-year-old and can be made to
earn his keep from then until he is
mature and ready for market. This
can not he done with light horses.
The greatest need I'm horse breed
ing at the present day." said Prof.
Kennedy as that of some definite plan
I'm breeding No breeder of average in
telligence would think of crossing hogs
or cattle in an indiscriminate way with
the expectation of getting satisfactory
results. yet these same men will cross
draft mares with trOtting mares, or
that will be useful for some definite
purpose. The result is usually a horse
that will class neither as light horse.
coach horse nor draft horse and the
market is constantly flooded with
these misfits. Every farmer should at
tempt to produce horses Of some def
mite type. such as the market demands,
and this can only be done by deciding
on the breed or type one desires to
breed and then resolutely sticking TO
IT.
1.-THE type Of draft horse that the
market wants is a horse weighing
1000 pounds or over in ordinary work
ing condition. deep-bodled, broad.
clcse-coupicd. massive hOrre. with pow
erfu loin and hind quarters: he should
be deep and wide in the chest TO in
sure rugged constitution. His legs
should he well set. with clean. dense
bone. large and round. wide at the
heels. and of fair depth. especially at
the heels. 1t Is well to remember the
old Scotch motto:
Feet and legs, bone and feather.
Tops may come. but bottoms never.
without good feet and legs the
best-bodied horse in the world would
be practically useless on city streets
or hard roads Good action Is also a
prime requisite. for, with all other
things equal. the horse that can walk
four miles per hour with ease is Of far
more value than the one that can not
take this pace, and good action is also
invariably associated with a good tenn
,erament."

A New Clover.

A new forage crop. the clover noel
lier, Is described in the Journal of the
Victorian Department of Agriculture
1t grows to feet in height, and
yields great quantity of succulent
foliage, which may be cut off five times
in A season, or, as the stems are fieshy,
the whole plants may be chaffed for
animals. All kinds of stock eat il ca.
gerly, and 1t is said to be highly nu-
tritious. 1t withstands drought and
frost alike. In a trial of the plant
carried out by the official dairy SUI
pervisor, the weight of the first cutting
of leaves was estimated at four tons
per acre. The labor of cutting off the
leaves and carrying them off the crop
ped land must be great objection, ex-
cept, perhaps, to occupiers of small
holdings.-London Live Stock Journal.

Planting Potatoes.

Although common potatoes are not
seeds and the young plants not seed
lings, Yet they are planted in much the
same way is ordinary seeds. To Sc
cure very early potatoes. select early
maturing tubers and plant them from
two to three weeks previous TO the
last spring frost. If that time can be
determined. A few days too early will
result in no harm. Select very rich
soil that is loose and warm by nature
Make deep burrows and in the bottom
place two or three inches of cow ma
nure of any kind. Sprinkle over this
a mixture of wood and coal ashes IL
they can be procured and cover lightly
with soil. Place the tubers on this
and cover them deeply. four or five
inches for early protection. If the
plants come up before the last spring
frosts they may be covered with a light
protection of straw. which may be re-
moved later. In this way early pota
toes may be had fully two weeks in
advance OF the regular season.
Sweet potatoes, being very sensitive
to cold and by nature plants of south
ern ATTITUDES. should not be planted till
well into the beginning Of summer,
when the soil has become warm to n
considerable depth. They are Of quick
growth and maturity, and do better
planted late than early.

Harm In Irrigation.

Lands recently by Secretary Garfield.

to year will be as small as possible.

committee some suggestions as to the
future control of the irrigated lands.

mine whether poultry drawn and
packed in ice would last longer than
poultry undrawn and carried under the
same conditions. A half dozen drawn
chickens and an equal number Of
chickens not drawn were placed on ice
for sore days and then taken from the
ice for examination. The result Of
the experiment showed that the poultry
packed undrawn kept better. being In

The part played by Sheridans great

which the beast has been known since

small white star almost I'm the center

He stood sixteen and half hands
high, and was trim built. active and
prOud-spirited. When Sheridan took
command Of the Second Michigan Reg
iment, in 1862. Captain Campbell pre-
sented him with the animal, which was
then spoken Of as 3-year-old colt.
His owner dubbed him Ricnzi, after
the Mississippi town of that name. He
carried his master through the battles
Of Stone River. Chickamauga, Mission
Ridge, and score of other engage
ments in the Tennessee campaign. He
pranced around among the mules and
ordinary steeds at the battles of Ope-

GordOnsville, WaynesbOro. Five Forks.
Jettersville. Sailors Greek. Appomat-
tox Station and Appomattox Court
House, and n score or more of other
combats. In fact, Winchester faced
the guns in ninety engagements. and.
with a single exception, never flinched
or turned tail to the enemy. In the
battle of Stone River, a solid shot
passed under him. grazing the skin of
his belly. He became fractions and

obliged to dismount. The appearance
of the animal on the field without a
rider was the foundation for report
that his owner had been killed. The
horse was wounded by pieces Of shell
in the battles of Opequon and Trevil-
ian. but not severely in either instance
History describes the ride to Win
chester as furious and headIong race.
General Sheridan said. in speaking of
the matter a few months before his
death. that he had ridden the horse at
a full gallop. at times breaking into a
run. The staff officers, Generals For
syth and O'Keefe, and the escort of
twenty cavalrymen. rode with him, but
the horse Winchester showed more
spirit and bottom than any of the
other animals. The general added that
the actual distance ridden was sixteen
