Drinklnir Water. Dr. Hall Is opposed to the immoderate use of water for a di Ink. lie says : The longer one puts off drinking water in the morning, especially in summer, the loss he will require during the day ; if much is drank during the forenoon the tlnrst orton increases and a very unpleas ant fullness Is observed, in addition to a metallio taste in the mouth. The less water a man drinks the better for him, beyond a moderate amount. The more water a man drinks the more strength he has to expend in trotting rid of it for nil the iluids taken into the system must be carried out and as there is but little nnnr ishmont in water, tea, coffee, beer and the like, more strength is expended in convey ing them out of the system than they im part to it. The more a man drinks the more he must perspire, cither by lungs or through the skin : the more he Dersnires the more carbon is taken from the system ; out tins carbon is necessary for nutrition. hence the loss a man is nourishod the less -strength ho has. The more liquids used the greater must be the amount of urination, but thin An. tracts a proportional amount of albumen from the system, and it is the allmmnn in the food that strengthens us. Drinking water largely diminishes the strength in two ways, and yet many are under the im pression that the more water swallowed the more thoroughly is the system "washed out." Thus, tho less we drink at meals, the better for us. If the amount were limited to a single cup of hot tea or hot milk and water at each meal, an immeasur able good would result to all. Many per sons have fallen into the practice of drink. ing several cups of hot tea at meals, out of mere nabit ; all such will bo greatly bene fited by breaking it up at once ; it may be , well to drink a little at each meal, and, perhaps, it will be found that in all cases it is better to take a single cup of hot tea at each meal then a glass of cold water, however pure. Chicken Cholera. It appears that a correspondent of the Country Gentleman at last has found a remedy for chicken cholera. lie says : I lost some thirty-five the past season out of my flock of one hundred, before I , could bring my mind to try a i-emody that bad been suggested. After trying every thing else that I could hear of without avail, I did try it, and it stopped it at once. This remedy consisted in pouring a little kerosene oil on their corn, and then mixing it through the corn with the hand. I first tried it with some that were very sick, and the next day thoy wore well. I then fed it to the flock, and have not lost a chicken sinoe ; and they all look much more bril liant in plumage than before. My flock consists of white Brahmas and Cochins. Caring Clover. Clover is not a grass at all. It belongs to the same order of plants as the poas,but, nevertheless, it is used as a forage crop and is treated as the grass crops are ; it is fed off, and it is cut for hay to be stored as food for live stock in the winter season. Owing to its nature it is one of the most tendor plants to handle in curing for hay. It needs to be dried rather in the shade than in the sun, and the texture of the hay should show a certain toughness rather than orUpness. Then, again, it should be bo cured that even its color may be re tainedif possible. To do this it isim portant that it should be cut before the blossom has formed the seed pods. Bed Bugs. A correspondent writes : "After fighting oigut j cum, i loarnea irom a girl who had served as chambermaid in a large boarding house that bugs could be entirely exterminated for all time. I immediate ly followed her directions, which was to take grease that was molted out of salt pork, to melt it, and to keop it melted (the vessel can be kept in a pan of coals), and to put it with the feather end of quill in every place whore I could find a bug. It is necessary to see that the bed cords are en tirely free from the pests, and I will warrant there will be no more trouble. It is more than thirty years since a bug has been seen in my house." The Cabbage Worms. A correspondent of the Sun says : "Last year I tried soap-suds for destroying the cabbage worm, and found it a success. I used soft soap, making the suds pretty strong, and sprin kling the cabbage once a week, whereby I saved my crop. The - worm dios almost immediately if well sprinkled with the suds." tV A good white cement for broken china is a very thick solution of gum arabie dissolved in water, stirred In with plaster of Paris until the mixture becomes a sticky paste. Apply with a bruoh to the broken edges, stick them together, and in three days the article cannot bo broken in the same place.
