The Health of Farmers.
Tlio following truo words from tho
Science of Health should bo inscribed in
tottcra oi gold ovor overy formor sflrooido:
"Forraors lmvo unoqualed natural ad
vantages for health, Btrongth and long
evity. Tho statistics of discano and tho tables
of mortality, howovor, oro against thorn.
This is duo not to thoir vocation, but to
their misuso of it. No class, as a wholo,
is probably bo uttorly reckless of health
MuditiotiH. Ho far as our nrquuiiitnnco
with tho habitH of farmers is concerned
and it has been oxtonsivo it compols tho
conclusion, as a rule, that tlio diototio
habits of farmers aro worso than thoso of
any othor class who have tho means of
choosing for thomsolves. Tried dishes
sovorul times a day, with sovoral fried
articles at each of tho threo meals, is ono
of thoir common abominations; dried hoof,
old chucso and pickles aro among tho com
mon relishes, whilo lard und saloratus
mako their richer dainties indigestiblo
and caustic. Wo lmvo soon on a farmor's
tablo, fried pork, fried eggs, fried potatoes
and incii griuaio emeus, lor hroakiast;
fried ham, friod hominy und fried parsnips
for dinnor, and fried sausages and fried
doughnuts for supner all tho frying dono
in Jiiru. no class is so troubled with cau
kor, orysipolas, tumors, cancers and hu
mors, as fiirmors; and tho oxcossivo tiso of
pork, lard, lino Hour, rich cakes and greasy
pastry, is enough to account for it. In
dictotio habits, our farmers aro sadly mis
led by tho agricultural journals, nearly all
of which jmndor to their prejudices, and
IliiUor their morbid appetites by ruuom
monding und commending svvino brooding
and pork eating, whilo thoy fill thoir
kitchen column with rooaipts for making
'rich and palatable' puddings, pios, calies
and other complicated dishes, which no
stomach over curried inside u human body
could loug toleruto without death or dys
jioiHiii. Tho essential need of our farmers
is plain, wholesome food, properly cooked.
This would gio them much moro avail
able strength for work, reliovo them of
many of tho distresses und expenses of
sickness, add many years to their lives,
and' render old ago 'green' and normal, in
stead of dry unci decrepit, us it in in most
c.ihch under existing habits."
Sleep.
There is no fact more clearly established
in the physiology of man than this, that
the brain oxpoiids its energies und itself
during the hours of wakefulness, and that
these aro recuperated during sleep; if the
recuperation does not equal tho expendi
ture, the brain withers this is insanity.
Thus it is that, in onrly English history,
iieiHous who wore condemned to death In
being prevented fiom sleeping, always dicil
raving maniacs; thus it is, also, that thoso
who urosturvod to death become insane;
the bruin is not nourished, and they can
not bIpo-, Tho practical inferences ure
these:
rirst. Thoso who think most, who do
most brain work, require most sleep.
Second. I hat time saved fiom ueces
wiry sleep is infallibly destructive to mind,
body, and estate.
Third. (live jourrfolf, your children,
jour servants givoull that aro under y on,
the fullest amount of sleep they will take,
compelling them to retire at some logulur
hour, and to arise tho moment thoy wake,
and within a fortnight, nature, with almost
tho regularity of the sun, will unloose the
h.ilids of sleep tlio moment enough repose
has been secured for the wants of the mvh
tern. This is the only safe uud sullleieut
rule; and us to the question how much
deep any one rcquiics, each one must boa
rule for himself. Nature will never fail to
wiito it out to the observer under the reg
illations jiiHt given. .
How to Treat the Bite ol a Mad Dog.
Dr. Stephen Ware of llostou, in his tea
tiiuonv in a recent case which grew out of
tlio injuries from tho bite of a dog, fur
nished the following Miluublo advice: In
the cane of the bite of it dog, where the
teeth of tho animal penetrated the llesh,
whether the dog was known to be mad or
not, he should use tho same precautions
Ho would vvnsii tno wound witu warm wa
ter. extract ull the irtis possible by suck
intr tho wound with his lips, and then
cauteriro it tloonlv with tho euustio most
rcudilv obtained; but should use potash if
it lould lie procured atoucc. llm time 111
which the cll'ccts of the bite of a mad dog
would bo soon varied from two to three
days to as many y e.irs, but if no etlects
were felt after two or three mouths, as u
general thing, tho patient might consider
himself safe. Kites made through cloth
ing aro seldom productive of much harm,
us even if the dog is mad the clothing ab
sorbs the virus before the teeth ro.mli the
llesh. Most of ull tho fatal cases aro w hero
the person wits bitten on some naked spot
Kr.
Wo etui bear personal testimony to the
truth of the closing portion of tlio above
purugrupli; for, when a child, it chanced to
be our lot to bo picked up ny it man nog,
and so severely shaken that tho prints of
the animal's teeth w oro loft upon our person
so deoplv iudented as to cause 11 free effu
sion of lilood. Tlio virus was evidently
removed from the tooth by the clothing
with which wo were covered. At least, u
lapse of about fifty years 1ms never shown
any unpleasant eoiisequencea from tho eti
counter, unless wo except certain very in
frequent occasions on which our blood lias
been badlv stirred by tho annoying visits of
out "dovir'for "copy" or the delinqueuo.v

Oat Meal in Drinks.
This is highly rocommonded by thoso w ho
havo tosted it. Ono writer stys: "Last
Summer wo attended a Held trial of plows,
and for a drink in tho Held wo hud buckets
of cold water with oat meal stirred in,
which wo found to bo both victuals and
drink, and mighty refreshing." A Scottish
medical journal also says of oat meal that
in its raw stito, whon mixed with water,
it is becoming a favorito dish. Tho broso
of "Auld Scotland" is becoming a favorito
dish ami wo aro glad to nolo this, bocauso

Watering House Plants.
Tho lmglish Garden is inclined to dis
pute the rule that water " should bo git en
111 moderately small quantities, and sup
plied frcqontly." If the causes of failure
where plants uio cultivated in windows
were minutely investigated, tho dribbling
system of natciiug would be found to be
the principal cause. A plant ought not to
be watered until it is 111 a lit condition to
receive a liberal supply of that element,
having previously see 11 red a good drain
age, in older that all superabundant water
may bo quickly earned oil". Those who are
constantly dribbling a moderately small
quantity of wator upou their plants will
not have them in a nourishing condition
for any length of time. This must bo ob
vious to ull, for it is quitu evident that the
moderately small quantities of water fro
iiuentl.v given would keep tho surface of
the soil moist, while at the samo time from
tho effects of good drainage, which is es
sential to the well being of all plants in
an artificial state, all the lower roots would
polish for want of wator, and tho plant
would become sickly uud eventually dio.

A Visit to Mr. Mechi's Famous Farm.
IFrom the r-ACinc Itciut. Tna:l
The county of Essex is said to be ono of the
richest in England (agriculturally). Thepor
tlon of the county of which I am speaking now
is forty wiles northeasterly from London, eight
miles south of tho line of the Great Eastern
Hallway, which connectB London withlla wicii
-one of the main routes to the Continent.
The ground which has occupied our attention
for the past two days has been the scene of one
of the most important movements set on foot

many of tho friends of progressive agriculture.
Here In a quiet npot near the open heath
lands, some thirty years since, Mr. J.J.
Mechl began-on rented land-to demonstrate
a theory which ho had propounded, that
the same business rules and qualifications must
bo npplied to farming in order to he successful,
thatarooppliedto any other business. This
man had seen tho talent and skill that was
chancing England into a workshop for tho
supply of tho world, by her looms and forges,
while tho slower and moro putient tiller of the
soil was plodding in the old track; tho supply
of food not ki oping paco w 1th tho demand.
When it Is stated that to feed tho inhabitants
of Loudon a single day, tho aunual product of
!!0,000 acres Is required not to mention tho
food for animals employed with drays,
hacks and carriages-it will bo understood that
tho commissary is an important personage
hereabout. This problem of food supplies U
one that early interested Mr. Mechl; thereforo
ho set himself to work quietly to prove the
corrcctncsBaof his idea.
Mr. Mcchl's Beginning.
Having a hop in tho city, und being an ac
tive, thriving workmitu and inventor, tho means
woro obtainable among his acquaintances for
tho commencement of a now era in farming.
No pains vuro spared to inform himself in

his stopping placo with Mr. Michi when in
Unglaiid.
lltgiimiug on borrowed capital and on rented
land, this man is now tho owner of 170 aeris
and has capital to lend. Every body ridiculed
him; some said ho was cray, uud all foretold
ruin absolute, inevitable failure.
Taking a poorer piece of ground than any
other iu tho county, ho commenced operations,
feeling his way slowly hut llrmly and boldlj
toward the end which ho felt suru was achiev
able. Onu after another, obstacles molted be
fore Id 111, until to-day John Joseph Mcchi is
us proud uud us highly honored us any of Un
manly tons of Engl mil, receiving tho thanks
and recognition of men of ever degree.
Tho Farm
Was not us largo as I had expected to find it;
but It was largo enough. Tbcro aro 70 acres in
wheat, tho balauco being divided between bar
ley, beans, grapes uud root crops, I should sn
in about qual proportions. It should ho men
tioned that there aro IU acres, betido the 170
of rented laud, upon which some of tho wheat
is grown; 10 bushi Is per acre of wheat Is tho
average crop, having a clear protlt of $0.25 per

tillage', uuder-dressingifcrtllizirs and selection
of seed. Uaptalu ilallet, of llrightou,

tinually, from jiur to jear, but Michi docs it
by tho fiiti sowing nothing but tho heaviest
grains, 'lho average profit of tho wholo farm
is $r,000 per annum.
Slock, Poultry, Etc.
There aro usually kept 011 tho farm 100 sheep

ducts sold aro wheat, mult, puis uud meat,
there is a small englno iu tho b.irn, nominal
