SKIM MILK FOR CALVES,
This is an exceedingly valuable feed
for growing oalves. It must always be
ted sweet and must be as warm tee the
mothers milk, about 98 degrees. Four
quarts tad twice a clay is sufficient for
the first month. Add a teaspoonful of
oitmeai to each feed.. In addition to th'
Skim milk, let the calves have oats or

[t is absurd for persons who have not

with the chemistry of foods to try to
tall( learnedly about .their action on the
human economy, and it may be taken
as an axiom that within the individual
eapoolty (which can be learned only by
individual experiment) a variety in diet
is biller than a monotony. A diet that
is too strictly limited to a few things
trains the stomach to adapt itself to
those few, and It is in danger of losing
lis power to digest things Outside of

EIEALTH NOTES.
A bunion is nearly always caused by
badly -fitting footwear and pointed -toed
boots. Wear boots especially made,
and remove all pressure from the bun-
ion. When Bain and inflammation sub-
side, some apparatus may be applied to
straighten the toe into normal position.
Lumbago. --This is a most distressing
and painful malady. Intense pale,
with inability to stoop or bend the back,
Is experienced, and severe pain in re-
gion of what Is known as the "small of
the hack." A strong liniment of bella-
donna, chloroform, and alcohol is use-
ful to relieve pain.
Cold feet, as a rule, are due 10 bad
circulation, but very often caused by the
footwear. Socks, if not changed fre-
quently, and kept clean, are a cause of
coldness. Woollen socias, cork soles In-
side the boots, and thick, substantial
soled boots will do away, in many
eases, with the trouble.
Sciatica consists of an Intense pain 011 -
lending from the hip -joint to the calf of
the leg. Very often due to constipation,
and will disappear with the use of a
good purgative. If due to cold or damp,
small blister piasters along the course
of the pain will Mien give great relief.
Massage and exercise will da much to
cure.
Chapped llands.—In cold weather al-
ways carefully dry the hands after wash-
ing; never allow the moisture to eva-
porate;
vaporate; this is a cause of the trouble.
Before going to bed rub hands well
with boracic ointment, vaselin0, cold -
cream or glycerine. Those who cannot
afford medicaments will find a bit of
mutton fat (uncooked) very etfective.
Draw en an old pair of gloves after
anointing.
Cold Baths.—The man or woman with
the moral courage to continue .cold
tubs through the winter will seldom
softer from colds. Avoid hot baths in
winter, except just before going to bed.
A 1101 bath opens the pores of the slain,
and if the body is afterwards exposed.
So a cold atnnosphere, pleurisy, bron-
chitis, pneumonia, are likely to result.
An irritating cough is not always duo
to having a cold; it is very often a. habit
acquired during the period of having
one, and afterwards 10 more of a nee -
vous, reflex action. When you find
you are getting into the habit of on. •
tlnually ooughing--a dry, short,' cough
—try to deet the inclination, and ,more
often t1an not the local irritation In
your throat will disappear and lite cough
with it.
Mustard Lotion.—This lotion is splen-
did for rheumatism, sprains, ate. Mix.
two ounces of mustard with half a pint
of spirits of w Inc and two drams of '
ea tphor. Let it stand three days In a
bottle carefully corked, then strain It
Off, and keep, closely corked in a bottle
