"A STICH IN TIME SAVES NINE."
Repairing any tool in time will more than
lave nine times the work, because a timely
bracing or fastening wi.l often save the sha
king and jarring loose of the whole structure:
and the stopping of a gap, or, better still, the
repairing of a weak place in a fence before it
becomes a gap, will not only save nine times
the labor and material, but prevent the stock
from becoming "breach." A stich in time
would be an infinite saving in keeping up the
fertility of the soil. A man owns a farm with
virgin soil, similar to the praries of the West
or the Blue grass district in the Southwest;
when he piows any portion of it and has ob
tained some prodigious crops, the virtue is
lessened, as the yield becomes less ; then, if
he is a sensible person, he will see that there
is need of a stitch, and, having husbanded bis
resources, he will apply some farm manure.
If a stock farmer feeds the dam right, nature
sets him the example of a fine, glossy-skinned
and plump, gambolling offspring; and when
he weans the prosperous progeny, should the
gambols cease and the frame lose the rounded
form y>r pleasing appearance, he will know
that a stitch is needed in time to recover this
lost ground, aud if he is a man of intelligence,
he will give such food and attention as will
put the poor little animal into the right con
dition, and whoever cannot see when these
stitches are necessary, or, better, cannot pre
vent the need of the preliminary stitch, is not
fit for the business of a stock-raiser. Yet
how many of the owners of the best land for
farming purposes not only never think of a
otlvl. iw .I-.-, I—. a r. rt and literally
throwing away every means of renovating the
soil in a timely way, till their naturally good
land is completely exhausted of every valua
ble constituent! How many go many miles
in one direction and then in another to pur
chase fine, pure bred stock, get it home with
great care, and then, from carelessness or
penurionsness, fail to follow the teachings of
nature, and neglecting the warnings visible to
the commonest mind, give no stitch in time—
which results in a degenerate race of animals,
which, from the evils of one year's manage
ment, will take nine years to recover, and in
fact in this application it is worse, for an.mals
stinted will never thoroughly overcome the
effect.
POSITION IN SLEEPING.
Jt is better to go to sleep on the right side,
for then the stomach is very much in the po
sition of a bottle turned upside down, and the
contents of it are aided in passing out by
gravitation. If one goes to sleep on the left
side, the operation of emptying the stomach
of its contents is more like drawing water
from a well. Alter going to sleep let the
body take its own position.
If you sleep on your back, especially soon
after a hearty meal, the weight oi the diges
tive organs and that of the food resting on the
great vein of the body, near the backbone,
compresses it, and arrests the flow of the
blood more or less. If tha.arrest is partial,
the sleep is disturbed, and there are unpleas
ant dreams. If the meal has been recent and
hearty, the arrest is decided : and the vari
ous sensations, such as falling over a preci
pice, or the pursuit of a wild Least, or other
impending dangers, and the desperate efforts
to get rid of them, arouse us, and send on the
stagnant blood ; and we wake in a fright, cr
trembling, or in a perspiration, or feeling ex
hausted, according to the degree of stagna
tion, and the length of the efforts made to es
cape the danger.
Bnt when we are unable to escape the dan
ger —when we do fall over the presipice,—
when the tumbling building crushes us—what
then ? That is death ! That is the death of
those of whom it is said, when they are found
lifeless in the morning, that "they were as
well as ever they were the day before and
often, it is added, "and ate heartier thin
common!" This last is a frequent cause of
death to those who have gone to bed to wake
no more, we give merely as a private opinion.
The possibility of its troth is enough to deter
any rational man from air,to and hearty mea'.
This we do know with certainty, that waking
up in the night with paiutul diarrhoea, or
cholera, or bilhous cholic. ending in death
in a very short time, is probably traceable
to a very late large meal. The truly
wise will take the safe side. For persons
whb eat three times a day, it is amply suffi
oient to make the last meal of cold bread and
batter, and a cup of some warm drink. No
one can starve on it, while a perseverance in
the habit soon begets a vigorous appetite for
breakfast, so promising a day of comfort.—
Halt's Journal of Health.
HOW TO UNHITCH A i CAM.
There is always a right way to do every
thing, and the right way to unhitch a team is
that which is the quickest and safest. We
have often noticed farm boys, and not only
farm boys but men, disconnect a team from
a wagon in a very unsafe manner: something
as follows: The driver springs from the wag
on goes to the sides of the horses, puts up
the lines, unbuckles them at the bits, lets
down the neck-yoke, unhitches tbe tugs and
leads the horses away disconnected.
Now this mode is very common, and verv
risky. Let us notice why. In the first place,
as soon as the lines are put up you have lost
your means of control, as soon as the pole is
down yonr horses are in peril. Supposing
they should take fright, which is common to
the most quiet animals, the result of a team
running with only tbe tugs hitched can be
imagined. We have cases in mind where
horses have sped away with maddened fury
in exactly this condition, the pole ploughing
the ground, and at every plunge of the fren
zied animals, the wagon striking on their
heels, frightening them to desperation. Now
the right way, or a good way at least, is to
keep tbe lines in baud or where they can be
reached until the tugs are all unhitched, then
your team is free from the wsgon unless a
stationary neck-yoke is used, next go directly
in front of the horses and let down the neck
yoke; and after this separate them.— Ohio

SALT IOR THE THROAT. —An exchange says:
In these days when diseases of the throat
prevail, and paiticularly a dry hacking cough,
which is not only distressing to ourselves but
to those with whom we are brought into
business contact, those thus afflicted may be
benefitted by trying the following remedy.
Last fall we were induced to try what virtue
there was in common salt. W'e commenced
by using it three times a day—morning r.oon
and night. We dissolved a large tablespoon
of common salt in about half a tumbierful of
told water, and with this we gargled the
throat most effectually, just before meal time,
"be result has been that during the winter
we were not only free from the usual coughs
aud colds to which as far as our memorv ex
tends, we have always been subject, but the
dry hacking cough has entirely disappeared.
Vi 6 attribute it entirely to the salt gargle, mid
GO most cordially recommend it to those of
our readers who are subject to diseases of the
throat"

WANTED THEM SORTED AGAIN. — The fol
. lowing story from the Abend-Zeilung, the
: German evening paper of Chicago, deserves
i translation. It says.
"It was a small but tperry company that
j met last evening at our friend Kenkel's, un
der the Sherman House. Bottle followed
j bottle in rapid succession, and the 'tone' of
the imbibers was the most exalted. But
j finally came a reaction, a drowsiness overtook
the majority, and all bukfour departed. This
| quartette had 'fit" so nobly that the field was
literally strewn with their bodies, and aid
: was required to get them home. According
!y the proprietor called a carriage from the
| stand the way, and with difficulty
deposited a customer in each corner. He
■ then turned to the driver and instructed him
: as follows:
" 'Dia one on de left corner drive to No.
West Randolph street. Dia one in the
right corner you must take to the marble
front on Union street, near the Baptist church.
You must take him up de stairs and tell his
wife not to fight mit him. Dat leetle fcller
in do back seat take to Milwaukee avenue,
by Schultze's next the Odd Fellow's Hall,
and de odder one lives by Linkum Park.'
"The driver, with an 'all slammed
the door of the carriage, mounted his seat
and was off.
Mr. Kenkel and his 'Joe' set things torights
in the place, and in about twenty miuutes
were ready to close the saloon, when the
identical carriage again halted before the
door.
" ' W hot's the matter?' inquired the pro
prietor. *
" ' I have met with a sad mishap.' said the
driver. 'ln passing sharply round a cdrner
the of the vehicle threw thc-m all into n
heap. I have been trying to right them, but
cau t t(Hi which from 'tether. Won't you
please sort them again?"
