Vary your food \\iih thc seasons. In winter, use more meats, corn meal, &e.-heat-producing food, lu summer, less meat, little qr no coffee, plenty, of vegetable;; and fruits, and kee]) the system open and cool. The farmer gets heated in thc field, hurries home to Iiis meals, and stuffs him .elf with fat pork, sops his waxv potatoes in burnt gravy, washes dov,ii the meal in the black coffee or strong tea, and rushes out again, fancying he has hail "hearty food" to "stand by" through thc day.

In October,,, or be? fore, comes on fever, or, if in the new i West, he is burning- and shaking with the. horrid t't.ve.r and ague.
