Straw for. Feed In the Canadian'West where great heaps of straw, are burned every season, the cutting of rough'feed is not a general practice. Nevertheless, there are many stockmen and dairymen who would not think of. trying to winter their stock without running their roughage through a cutting box Not' only is there is a saving In feed, but also the manure is in much "more desirable condition for spreading on the land. I:i addition, the cut straw makes it possible to save practically all the liquid manure. As mixed farming and stock-raising become more general, the number of straw outers will Increase. Most farmers have some kind of power on the farm that can bo used during the winter for this purpose. When they have started, they do not as a rule give It up. 1 What Water Can Do ��������� No sooner are the London and, i Ottawa seasons over than we see am inouncements cf various more or less erwut porsonagos departing for some [OoMtlnentafl or Briton Spa to take tho iwaters^JSd_ allow, their..system..to j " It is surely a reflection on our pre- ;Ben������day "civilisation'' to find that we. are.still immersed in,', surrounded by, and suffering .from; an ��������� incalculable amount'of." illness and disease in every- "shape and form, says a scientific writer; who- claims over, feeding is, at the.root of,'the evil, and suggests a reform ��������� in our dietary, that would 'eliminate disease, and maintain the averagehuman-frame in sqund health. Advocating ajtwo-meal-a-day plan,-he says: ' . . , "If we would only, after rising- In the morning, wait some two or three hours, exercise a little, or do some .work, the whole system would be far more ready to digest and assimilate the food; therefore, it would be,Infinitely better* for most of us if ��������� we would take our first meal at eleven or twelve o'clock, with nothing whatever before that, unless It be a little fruit; then wait for somoi six, Beven, or eight hours before we have our < second meal; we should thus have1 allowed sufficient time for the organs of digestion to empty themselves thoroughly; and be It remembered again, that it Is not until such organs are thus emptied of food that actual Incorporation of food into the tissues takes place. I must Impress on my readers it is only that which Is Incorporated, raid not what Is eaten, which nourishes us. "This plan of two meals a day would alone be the means of renovating in the case of many diseases. I see men and women constantly whom I know will, sooner or later, have a fit of apoplexy, simply because their blood vessels are .over-charged, or have become degenerate through overfeeding. There are thousands of deaths'annually due to this cause, and moat of such are preventable. |; sporting-: ;;,, * '4* , COLUMN.
