TnE first, the best, because the safest for 
laborers, invalids, the sedentary, for all class¬ 
es, at all times of the day ami night, is half 
a glass at a time, repeated in ten minutes if 
desired, of common cold water, at the tem¬ 
perature of tlie spring, or well, or reservoir, 
or cistern. Ice water is more palatable, but 
very often kills. 
Any drink which contains alcohol, even 
cider, root beer, or domestic cordials—all are 
not only not harmless, but are positively in¬ 
jurious, because the atom of alcohol, by 
using the strength of the next minute for the 
present, leaves the system that next minute 
just that much weaker than it would have 
been bad not that atom of alcohol been taken;

If anything Is added to the summer drink, 
it should contain some nutriment, so as to 
strengthen the body, as well as to dilute the 
blood for purposes of a more easy flow 
through the system, as any oi>6 knows that 
the thinner the fluid is, the more easily does 
it flow- Some of tho more nutritious ami 
safe drinks are given below, especially for 
Ihoso who drink in the sun of summer, all to 
be taken at the natural temperature of the 
shadiest spot in the locality. 
To any of them ice may be added, but. it 
is a luxurious, not a beneficial ingredient, 
nor a safe one. 
1. Buttermilk. 
2. A pint of molasses to a gallon of water. 
3. A lemon to a half a gallon of water, and 
a teacupful of molasses, or as much sugar. 
4. Vinegar, sugar and water are substi¬ 
tutes, but tho vinegar is not a natural acid, 
contains free alcohol, hence is not as safe or 
healthful. 
5. A thin gruel made of corn or oats, is 
strengthening. 
6. A pint of grapes, currants, or garden 
berries to a half gallon of water is agreeable. 
Cold water applied to the bead is very re¬ 
freshing to harvesters. Wading in water 
abates thirst. Persons cast away at sea will 
suffer less from thirst, if the clothing is kept 
wringing wet with salt water. A piece of 
silk fitted in the bat is a great protection to 
the bead against snn beat; it is an absolute 
protection If one side is well covered with 
gold leaf. As there is always a space be¬ 
tween the top of the head and crown of the 
bat, batters should practice this idea .—Good 
Health.

Will*l iiiiiI Kmul, 
Let me tell Wild Hose bow to make 
good bread without milk. For yeast cakes, 
boil a single handful of hops and a sliced 
potato in three pints of water; in fifteen or 
twenty minutes strain it, boiling hot, on a 
pint of flour, stirring well. When cool 
enough not to scald, put in a leacupful of 
light yeast, a little ginger and sugar ; when 
the whole is light knead in as much 
sifted meal as you can make up in rolls, cut 
in thin slices and spread out to dry. 
To make thy bread, at night boil six me¬ 
dium sized potatoes (enough for three or 
four loaves), mash fine, turn on water and 
add two yeast cakes, if not too large, about 
the size a common cake cutter would make. 
If good It will work like beer; in the 
morning set on the stove, stirring with your 
band until warm; then sponge; when light 
mix well and put hack in the pan to raise 
again before making in loaves. It will not 
take an hour and a half to raise if the yeast is 
good. If you think it is sour use sugar—a 
tablespoonful fora loaf of bread.— Mrs. II. 
Voorhees, Clayton , Mich. 
is good, for I have many times tried it; but 
it somewhat discolors the meat, sometimes 
leaves a slight soda taste, and it the meat be 
much affected, will not remove all the 
“ taint.” But if injured meat be well washed, 
then put into cold water in which lias been 
pul a few lumps of charcoal, and brought to 
boil, all the above defects are removed so 
effectually as to seem like perfectly fresh 
meat. It even prevents any offensive odor 
during the process of boiling. Let your read 
ers try it. and be astonished at. the result.”

To Put Up Sweet Corn. 
I send a recipe for putting up sweet corn 
for table use, in winter, that I consider far 
superior to cither drying, canning or the 
method given iu a late Rural, Cut the 
corn off the cob, the same as for succo¬ 
tash; put into a stone jar in layers, with salt 
between each layer—I have no regular rule, 
hut say, to each layer of corn two inches 
luck a good handful of cooking salt; when 
the jar is full, put a plate with a heavy stone 
on top. When taking out for use, wash the 
corn well and soak over night; then cook 
the same as dried corn. I also put

Inclosed 1 send you a few of the reme¬

(the nearer the root the stronger), and place 
in a kettle with enough cold water to cover, 
and boil till thick as molasses. Apply as a 
wash, very mild. It is very good, but will 
stain any clothing with which it comes in 
contact. No more pain is produced from its 
use than from that of cold water. 
2. Buttermilk and onions (pounded) are 
very good, especially when the body has be¬ 
come inflamed and swollen. 
3. Take strong cider vinegar and dissolve 
as much salt in it as it will dissolve, and ap¬ 
ply us a wash. It kills it quicker than either 
of the above, hut is very harsh.
