There is no disaster to the crop which in times past farmers have more dreaded than rust. On grain crops it is especially to be dreaded even yet, because there seems no way to surely avoid it. The rust always comes to the grain that is most thrifty, or in other words is fullest of sap, and its growth is greatly increased by the warm, moist weather that most favors the development of plant food. The warm rains and cloudy weather favor the rust in another way, as they lessen the ability of the leaves of the plant to absorb carbonic acid gas from the air, and thus keep it in good condition. With the sky obscured, and the leaves covered with water, the absorption of the carbon from the air ceases, just as the lungs of animals might be expected to suffer when they are lled with water. At the same time the .plant whose -breathing apparatus is thus clogged up nds that the moist, warm weather supplies the plant with abund- ance of sap, because these conditions favor rapid fermentation in the soil. L THE'7w6NbER%FuL CHEAP MEN. U tJl:`.l.:(lOIO. on. 2 oonta 1 cent I 1111 II word wil one ot tn GULUMN FOB. THE FARMEB. The result is that the great amount` of nitrogenous plant food made avail-: able by rains sends upwards through the roots so much sap that the plant is gorged with food which it cannot prop- erly assimilate. It su'ers much as an animal might do from over-eating. If there is bright sunshine the sap is charged with carbon, and vegetable matter is built up. But if there is cloudy weather, and especially if there are rains, so that the leaves .are wet much of the time, they cannot perform their oice, and the raw sap sent up by the roots furnishes sap, which instead of adding to.the vegetable bre merelv gorges the cells so that A the growth does not have the solidity and rmness that new growth should have. Sometimes this gorged condition is pro- duced in trees by too severe pruning, throwing all the sap drawn up from the soil by the roots into a few buds, which put forth what are known as sap sprouts, a soft, porous growth that is especially liable to fungus disease. It is well known that very severe pruning of the pear predisposes it to blight, though this may be caused in part by exposure of its sap to germs of blight that may be oating in the air. mineral: esimoially . potash. m*k5' the carbon which the leavss 1 supply, '8.

"53?-f ' The rusting of grain is every year the cause of great injury to crops, as the grain affected is always shrunken and sometimes made entirely unsalable. If it be lack of carbonic acid gas, a partial preventive may be found in sowing lime, which, by slacking as it is wet, will increase the proportion cf carbonic acid gas in the atmosphere where it is placed. All kind of min- eral manures are excellent to make a bright straw and ; plump grain. Prob ably as the mineral is dissolved in the soil and taken up by the roots, lit, to some extent, obstructs too free `ow of ap, and thus prevents the en'gorgement7"` Of cells which gives fungus its? chance to do injury. `Or it may `be-that the.` n.. _I_-..- _uI. ._ :2-21:.'~:V"`?:;:` ?` Snrrnunng. i?

A Proper Diet. The nature and quantity of an ap- propriate diet must depend largely upon one a age, individual constitution, occupation, habits of life, and to some -extent upon` the climate in which one lives. An active child, twelve or f- teen years old, who is growing fast and exercising freely, may require and as- similate as much food as a man past middle age. A ll In health the appetite may be taken as a fair guide, arid the child will sel- dom eat too much if he is taught to eat very slowly and thoroughly to chew each mouthful. Throughout the school years the growth of the body is `continually going on, and, therefore, if a. proper develop- ment is to be maintained, the food must be abundant, and of a character to furnish` new tissue and to yield energy in the form of "heat and nfuecu llar activityg. t V The full adult weight -is. not usually attained before the` ~twenty`-fth year, although in some instances, it is.reaeh- ed e_axlier._ . ` ' ` A q - - n O I When the growth of the body and the development of the `vital organs are completed, the'- use of food consists simply in maintaining the proper equi- librium of , the tissues ~- by replacing wsste . with new msterisl, and in fur- nishing fnel for the development of force. . =3} ' ll W V 5 `ll ' : Jun- t---;_- V As men advance` in life, beoome prosperous, and perhpe acquire more luxurious habits: of liviug, they are apt to . take less exercise, and, at the some time, we be constantly tempted to in.
