HYGIENE OF THE FARM.
BT REYNKLT. COAT UP. M. !>.
The title of yonr valuable journal, the Farm
and Fireside, while it seems to render par
amount, as its special object, the advance
ment of that greatest of all national interests,
Agriculture, seems also to invite communi
cations of a somewhat wider range; nd I pro
pose to offer you an occasional article upon
subjects which, though not directly connected
with the management of the farm, are not,
therefore, less vitally important to the well
being, moral or physical, ofthe most precious
of all "stock"—the farmer himself, his wife
children and employes. In other words, I
wish to approach the farmer' 1 s fireside, not
even excepting the young ones, upon matters
that receive by far too little attention there,
if I may judge trom some years of former
professional experience in what the doctors
call "country practice." Yet it is not about
disease and its treatment that 1 intend to
speak, but abent health and its preservation;
hoping that all readers will remember that
the health of the mind is quite as serious a
consideration as health of the body—that nei
ther can be neglected without injuring the
other, and that both are as necessary to
profitable tillage as plowing, planting, mauure
or under-drainage.
The ancients, at one time, fixed the seat of
the soul in the stomach. That doctrine has
gone out of fashion, except, perhaps, with
the aldermen; but this organ is still consider
ed as one of the three co-ordinate authorities
of the body corporate— the brain, heart and
stomach—and as completely equal in rank as
the Legislature, Judiciary and Executive, in
civil government. I trust, then, that no
apology will be necessary for beginning with
some hints about food: for there are few sub
jects connected with health on which more
obstinate or more dangerous prejudices pre
vail.
"What! Not eat fat pork!" says Mr. Bur
ly, the farmer, to his delicate daughter or his
slender, rapidly growing boy; "it always
agrees with me: so, eat it, I say!'
How often have I seen constitutions broken
down, sometimes to the early destruction ol
life by this insane idea that what is good food
for one, must be good for all! EveH the vul
gar adage, "what is one man's meat is anoth
er man's poison," should teach a better phil
osophy. A trail is not a woman, and a child
it neither : how then, can the same quantity
and quality of food be suitable for each? All
have the same system of organs it is true, but
these organs are not developed in the same
relative degree, nor are they applied to pre
cisely the same purposes. They all require
the same chemical elements to build up the
frame, but they do not require them in the
same proportions, nor in the same amount,
nor prepared in the same manner. The
mother's milk contains nearly every ingredi
ent required by every part of the adult human
organization, and although all parts are grow
ing together, it is sufficient for the infant.
But some parts are developed more rapidly
at first, and others at a later period. Take
the bones, for example. These, in their ma
ture condition, require a very large mouu(
of phosphate of lime, to give them proper
strength and solidity, yet in the earlier
months of infancy they contain comparatively
little, and will bend before they will break;
while about the end of the first year, they
should be firm euough to bear the weight of
the body—and the child stands upon its feet.
How many a mother has sighed over a pair
of bandy legs, from having had the silly
pride to test the strength of the young limbs
too soon ! Now, this demand for phosphate
of lime increases rapidly up to the time of
weaning and long afterwards: and nature, to
supply this want, changes continually the
quality of the milk, up to the time whenother
food, of a stronger character, is indicated by
the growth of the youngster's teeth; so that
the infant of ten months would dwindle, if
not starve, upon the food that was so whole
jpme at the age of a week or two, while, if
the younger child were fed upon the later
milk, it would inevitably suffer, if not die,
from the effects of its unnatural diet. Every
nurse who has "brought up a child by the
bottle," well knows these facts, and mixes in
the proper amount of water with far more
honesty than many a dairy man who attends
the market.
How do you know then, Mr. Burly, that be
cause fat pork always agrees with you, who
are at work all day in the open field, that it
will also agree with your delicate daughter,
who is all day at work in or about the house
or dairy, breathing the fumes of the kitchen
or chamber, or stitching away the long Win
ter evening by candle light, without enjoying
a tithe of proper sunshine, in half ventilated
apartments? The truckster's daughter, if
well browned in the garden and field, using
her muscles to the extent of their endurance,
may stand good, hard-working fare very well
without refusing "anything that comes;" yet
your young daughter, or even your boy,
though he trudges two miles to school every
day' but uses up five, six or seven hours
in the schoolroom, "cudgelling his brains in
the gloom"— to say nothing of Lome lessons,
which confine the juvenile parrot by the side
of his sißter, till bed time—cannot subsist
on exactly the same kind of diet exclusively,
without suffering both in bodily strength and
mental capacity.
Go, look at the leading lawyer of your court,
when he has just finished a difficult case, dur
ing a tedious term. See how he "pitches"
into the first resturant for oysters and eggs,
if there be any at hand, though, a; other times,
be cares not much about them. "What is the
reason?" you inquire. Why,-because oys
ters, eggs and all salt water fish give food
to the brain, and fat pork does not. Mr. Bur
,y!
hatever we use most, wears out soonest
and cries for more food; and one part requires
but little or none of that of which another de
mands a large amount It is now perfectly
well known that no animal can live in health
upon one kind of food alone—not even upon
bread, though it be the staff of life, or milk,
though it furnishes some little, at least, of
nearly every thing wanting for the full grown
man. These articles do not furnish them in
all the various proportions required at differ
ent ages, and in persons of different sex or oc
cupation. The grass, while it is young and
pale green, lives chiefly on what it finds in
the air; but when it becomes darker and be
* to form seed, its roots hunt out the sub

-'arte, at home, upon the rough

a fever or a diarrhcea.
yet, after a few weeks active exertion and ex
posure in hunting, marching, or harvesting,
he can flourish upon fat pork aud the abor
iginal apple pie that we sighed aud fought for
"callida jurentus at Westown school,,
which, "might be thrown over the barn ,vith
breaking." On the other hand, when Mr.
Hurly quits the farm to spend a few weeks
with his brother, the rich merchant in town,
he is in danger of apoplexy froui the luxu
rious fare. lie digests too much of it, and
too easily. But if he remain permanently in
the city, be finds the diet very suitable to his
changed relations, perhaps after a fever or
two, a few boils and a "thick head" for a few
months; aud he then attributes the past diffi
culties to the change of air, while it is quitfr
equally due to a change of thinking and act
ing—of sunshine and shadow.
PRETTY POOR PRACTICES.
"Cosmos," who edits the rnral column of
the Sahtrdag Erening Post, thus enumerates
a list of pretty poor practices:
It is a pretty poor practice for a farmer
to dig and delve, tug aud grub, and clear up
fifty acres of land at a cost of $2,000, and
then in the third year surrender about a
fifth of it to the briars, brambles .nd ox-eye
daisies.
Poor practice to half manure, half plow,
half seed and half cultivate a field, and then
harvest from it less than half a crop.
To keep two inferior, scrawney, scrub cows
for tiairy purposes, that gives less milk than
one good one, and consume more food than
three.
To purchase in town 500 loads of livery sta
ble manure, and suffer 600 of better home
made manure to run to waste.
To attempt to fatten three hogs into 1200
pounds of pork on just as much feed as would
keep two nicely growing.
To estimate agricultural fairs as arrant
humbugs, and spend three days every month
saving the country at political meetings.
To depend upon borrowing your neighbors'
rakes, mowers, and all sorts of implementsin
baying and harvest time.
To house up a thousand bushels of grain,
waiting for a rise, till one-tenth has goue to
feed rats and mice, and the remainder smells
like the essence of rat, and the price is down
40 per cent.
To plant out a big orchard of choice fruit
trees with a first thought of money-making,
and leave them to do or die.
To keep two fancy five hundred dollar car
riage horses, and pay six dollars a day for a
team to plow.
It is positively a poor practice to call "book
laming'' all bosh, to ignore news and agricul
tural papers, and attempt to keep up an even
yoke with yonr progressive neighbors by main
strength and stupidness.
Grow Smai.i. Fruits. —To change a city
life for an agricultural one is seldom pe
cuniarily profitable at the outset, and as a
general rule such a course is not advisable.
But if the people are willing to work, wait
and be contented with the chances, a much
more lucrative field is open in the culture of
small fruits than in grass, grain or vegetable
raising. The science and art can be mastered
by adults in one or two years: by children in
less time. The market for berries, grapes,
and the like is constantly growing, and prices
are much more likely to raise than to be re
duced. And it is an employment in which
wives acd daughters can aid husbands and
fathers, and yet lose no womanly attraction
or accomplishment.

OFTEN do we think when we ought to act,
and act when it behoves ns to reflect; hence
caution is frequently as fatal as rashness.
WHY is a young lady just from boarding
school like a building committee ? Because
she is ready to receive proposals.
A ROMANTIC young man says that a young
woman's heart is like the moon: it changes
continually, but it always has a man in it.
STOCK brokers should be named breakers,
since they break about everybody that has
anything to do with them. If you want to get
broke to a certainty, go to a broker.
