Practical Lessons

As to domestic animáis, sbeltering all animáis from cold weather, [rom chilling wind3 which by their rapid motions carry ofl' beat rapidly, is the way to fcave food and to save waste of flesh? If by slopping Ibis wa9te of beat from the surf ace all the food consumed will not be wanted to make heat, a portion can go to iiicreasiug tbe ñesh, that i to prcdncing growtb, or more can le used iu niaking milk cggs .et,!., wükin iJse animal. Dysptptic persona, Üiost Iiaiug feeble digestión, or a poor appetite, get less internal heat from the food combustión, and suffer from cold. Such persons need a warmer atmosphere, or warmer dwellings, and warmer clothing to retain the heat that is produced. This applies to all animáis. Close-fitting garnients, garters, lacing, boots, ueck-ties, etc, that prevent free, easy, circulation of the blood, each and all diminish the amount of heat prodnced.and its uniform distribution. Exercise promotes more rapid circulation of' the blood and increases heat production. Green wood, besides its inconvenience, is very unprofitable. A large amount of heat which the dry portions would yield.is lost by being carried off in tbe evaporation of the sap. 80 of any wet or damp fuel of any kind. We stated about that evaporation of water carries off heat. Kubbing wet horses and other animáis dry is very useful not only to save heat, hut also to save cold taking, as explained in our last ïiumber. For the saine reason any damp grmnents should be replaced witb dry ones as se on as poBsible; or enough covering b added to prevent chilliness from the evaporation.
