A well-balanced man or woman who can 1 strictly be said to posses? a perfectly sound 9 mind. is comparatively rare, even raxer than9 | jne who has perfect health. And while in a some people this lack of balance shows itself in the mingling of fanaticism with their faith, in others it is more commonly shown by the amount of hallucination which alloys 0 their hope. Hope is decidedly different from 1 faith, although they are frequently con founded. A man may have great faith aud 0 , little hope, or great hope and little faith. To . i vharge a man with lack of faith?that if, faith in God?when he expresses distrust of the , success of some undertaking or doubts the 8 wisdom of some movement, is very unfair. 1 It may not have been a matter in which p faith, properly speaking, could come in at all. The word of God was not in question, bad not been pledged. Faith sees, hope , foresees. The future is the realm of hope, while faith pertains to the present. Hope has to do only with what is pleasant, while e faith covers the dark as well as the bright; | we believe God's threatenings no less than i His promises. , Blessed is he who. either by natural tem'? perament or on principle and an the result J of religious cultivation, is hopeful, cheerful, : optimistic, expecting success. But such a I man will need to be strictly on his guard b against self-deception. In nine cases out of ? ten he will be likey to forget some of the stern facts that his calculations ought to take into account. His hope will run away with his judgment. He wiil look at things : through a rose-colored medium, and not in the clear, white light of truth. Hence he will pursue chimeras under the full persuasion that they are realities. He will waste his fortune on some bubble of speculation around which his imagination has thrown a golden radiance. He must take pains to clarify his perceptions without losing his cheerful determinations. Enthusiasm can be preserved, while foolishness and extravagance are avoided. Genuine , hope does not take its rise from a morbid condition of the nervous system, nor does it absorb flattering delusions. It is steady and serene, confident and calm, holding fast to nil lil'-'is JIUU qUIUIU^ iu ly^un.u pvs)^"';' DISCIPLINE OF DIFFICULTIES. This whole thought, the discipline of difficulties. may be emphasized in a brief but suggestive parable. It is about the wingless birds. There is a myth about the birdB. i that when thoy were first created they had no wings. The story is that God made the wings, put them down before the birds, and said : "Now, come, take these burdens up and bear them.'' Tne birds had beautiful plumage and voices. They could sing and ' sbine, but they could not soar. But at the word of their maker, they took up the wings with their beaks and laid them upon their shoulders to carry, ai nrsr inoy ( seemed to be a heavy load, and rather difficult to bear. But as they cheerfully and patiently bore them, and folded them close over their hearts, lo ! the wings grew fast. 1 and that which they once bore now bore ; them. The burdens became pinions, and the weights became wings. We are the wingless birds. Our duties 1 are the pinions. When at first we assume they do not seem to be heavy loads. But. glad and happy fact, as we cheerfully bear them on. as we obediently take up the tasks God gives, as we meet the difficulties, as we do the duties, the burdens change to pinions, the weights become wings and lift as heavenward. Let us. then, with the apostle, "glory in tribulations als); knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience: and experience, hope; and hope maketh not ashamed: beaause the love of God is shed abroad in our j hearts." Thank God for your testings. j I'hanfc Uod ror tne aimcuiues inai ueveiop I your strength. Thank God for all His disciplinary dealings: for He makes every hindrance a help, every obstacle an impulse onward, every retarding weight a wing to lift us toward Himself.?Gerard B. F. Hallock, in N. Y. Observer. KEEP CP THE STANDARD. In his essay on Milton. Matthew Arnold makes 9ome judicious remarks concerning a certain tendency among Americans to overrate and over praise* what is not really superior. He protests that high excellence is not common and abundant, as we are so given to assuming, and that there is a very real dancer of losing by this practice all right standard of excellence: and when a right standard of excellence is lost, it is not likely that much which is excellent wili be produced. We have ourselves frequently noticed with regret this tendency. It is counted an ungracious task to criticise. It is much more pleasant to give praise. But when praise is lavished on inferior thiugs. the public standard is lowered.youth are taught to content themselves with mediocrity. and even the person eulogized suffers harm. The critic has a very important office. The duty of not praising is in danger Df being neglected. ,No one is likely to do bis best work if he is constantly told that whatever he does is best. "Faithful are the wonnds of a friend." When the guilty escapes, the judge is condemned. When a poor thing is lauded, it shows that the applauder gave way to the impulse of a weak good nature and failed in his obligations to the public. Christ's character. There is scarcely any character under svhich Christ in his manhood is represented by which he comes so near and dear to us ii-j that of Friend. Man is made a social being and a large portion of our earthly enjoyment spring from the society of our friends. Now Jesus meets this deep want :<( our nature. But let us remember that while it is the true friendship of a man that Jesus utters us. it is als.\> that of God. We may have uu earthly friend who is neither wanting in constancy of affection 11 >r in willingness to make any sacrifice to aid us. >:>.t he is deficient in ability. In the dark hour of our extremity he stands by. it may De with a tearful eye and a bleeding heart, but utterly helpless to assist us. But it i? not so with Jesus.

From the feeding experiments, which extended over three years, on the fattening of over 100 swine upon jrain, the Jollowing general conolu3ions are reached by the Canadian Experiment Station: 1. On the average 4.38 pounds of grain (barley, rye, peae, wheat, frosted I wheat, and wheat bran) was the quanI tit-y consumed per pound of increase in the live weight. 2. In the feeding of grain, considering quantity of feed consumed and the general health of the animals, it is profitable to feed the grain ground and soaked in water for an average of about thirty hours. 3. Is is profitable to add about three or live pounds of skim milk or buttermilk per head per day to the grain fed to fattening swine. nnr\Ti f A I have gardened and farmed for seventeen years, and have grown 35,000 cabbages this season; they will average ten pounds per head, writes David W. Fox, of Westmoreland^ County, Pennsylvania. Some weigh twenty-two pounds. I can produce club root at every plart, if I so desire, and can avoid it entirely by exercising care. Too much decomposed vegetable matter will produce it, eepecially that of cabbage, but the worst of it can be righted by a good application of unslaked lime. I had ten acres of corn, producing 2150 bushels of ear corn. This corn has been crossed for seventeen years, always selecting the best for seed. I have grown fifty bushels of Martin's Amber wheat per acre, and really believe it to be the best wheat in the market to-day. F.XPERIMEN1S IN PIG FEEDING. The Illinois Experiment Station hae roanlfa r\f cirfoan CTnPTl ments made in feeding corn alone to pigs. These experiments were made in nine different months of the year, ana show excellent work. The average of the sixteen lots showed 11| pounds live weight made from fifty-6ix pounds of corn; with corn worth thirty-five cents per bnshel this would make pork cost a trifle over three cents per pound. The poorest results were obtained from work done in January, which showed 6.93 pounds from one bushel of corn fed to pigs weighing 108 pounds each. The next poorest results were obtained in June, July and August, and showed 8.28 pounds per bushel of corn fed to pigs weighing 208 nnnmls fitich. The third noorest result wan in July, and showed S.66 pounds per bushel fed to pigs of 223 pounds weight. The beet work wa6 done in December, and showed 16.81 pounds from one bushel of corn.? American Farmer. THE PROFITABLE COW. Size?Anywhere between 690 and 2000 pounds. An average cow of any breed will answer, other things being equal. Conformation?Large barrel and jreat capacity, as shown by the deep Middle and jibs well sprung. Neck, shoulders and thigh thin.

Food?All she will habitually eut up clean and digest of a well bnlauced ration. Production?Her annual butter product should never fall below 200 pounds and with butter at fifteen cents net there is little profit at 250 pounds. To get such cows use only registered bulls of your favorite breed. Do not use a bull whose dam as a two-yearold will not produce 180 pounds or as a mature cow 300 pounds of butter fat. The best bull obtainable is none too good. Do not begrudge the ?50 or 8100 it wiil take to buy such a bull. ?American Agriculturist. SUNLIGHT FOR APPLE TBKES. In order to produce such a crop ot apples as trees sometimes do they must do a large amount of work in collecting the crude materials required and in manufacturing them into such refined products as Gravensteins, Greening6 and Baldwins. Sunlight, by its action upon its foliage, f i 1? i.1 iL-i " ? luiuiouea JiMgci v tue puwer mat ruub the machinery of an apple tree. The amount of this power that a tree can use in a measure determines how much l'ruit the tree can bear. Tbe natural habit of the apple tree is to form a rounded top, with the branches bonding low, to catch as much sunlight as possible. It is a too common practice to cut these limbs off, which may in tbe case of a wellgrown tree represent from 400 to 800 square feet ot the normal bearing surface of tbe top, and in this way to permanently injure the tree. It is as important for an apple tree that is to do its befit work to have its top adjusted to use the light as it is for a sailing vessel to be trimmed to catch the wind. Save the lower limbs, that increase the surface area of the top, for these, when the rcots are well cored for, enlarge tbe bearing capacity of the tree ; uui mm out sua wnen neceesary Bnorien in the limbs, that tlie light may Bhine brighter on those that are left.?

POrt LATUTY OF POLAND-CHINAS, There is no BiDgle breed of swine that within the last twenty years has grown into such general favor in the corn-producing region of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Eastern Nebraska and Kansas, as the famous Poland-China.

The Poland-China is a good feeder and a good digester of food; is quiet, sufficiently strong of limb, well haired, and healthy, fattens easily, at say, eleven months, into a heavy profitable hog, and is eagerly sought after by the packers at the Union stock yards at Chicago. The flesh is sweet and well marbled with fat. When of full age, a weight equal to any of the superior breeds is attained.

The Poland-China has good length of body, Bmall head, ears thin and falling forward and well pointed, legs short and of fine bone, tail of medium length, small and with a white brush. They can be made to weigh two hundred and fifty to three hundred at eight to twelve months. They have broad, straight backs, deep sides with flanks well let down, hams and should| ers square, chest deep, and with full j necks high and cre6ted. The head is short and the chops full.

A light oovering of leaves, | held in place by evergreen boughs, is probably as good as anything. Dry picked fowls bring a little more per pound than those that are scalded. To dry pick to the best advantage the work should be done as soon as possij ble after the fowls are killed. If al, lowed to become cold, the task is not I only tedious but often proves unsatisJ factory. There are some advantages in propaj gatiDg yonr own plants. You can con[ tinue the varieties that do best in your ; particular locality and soil, lou can transplant them as soon as your ground is properly prepared. You can use more care in transplanting and fill in the missing hills at leisure. To manage a strawberry field well, divide it into thirds. One bed will be ! new, upon whioh to rely for the main I crop; one old, from which to get what ! one can; the other set to new berries. ! As soon as the old bed has got through bearing, plow it up and set it to cabbage or some other crop which must ! be closely cultivated. Seeds of annuals, like the poppy and petunia, may be sown in November, and be ready to come up early in spring. Any annual which self-sowu may be nown now with a good prospect of success. There is a long list of these, including the phlox, verbena, calliopsis, portulaca, Bnow-on-themountain, antirrhinum, and others. In laying plants down (the rows running north and south), commence at the north end, remove the dirt from the nortn side of the hill about four inches deep; gather the branches in close form with a wide fork, raising it toward the top of the bush and press gently to the north, at the same time placing the foot firmly on the base of the hill, pressing hard toward the 1 UU1 lu. I Bulbs need a well-drained, mellow spot in a rather sunny place. Only well-rotted manure should be used in enriching it. They should not be pressed down into the earth, as is so natural when one plants anything of the kind, but should be placed in holee three or four inches deep and the soil filled in around them. The November planted bulbs will be benefited even more than those which were planted I earlier by a covering of rotted manure j over the bed. Distiirce Annihilated. I Mr. M.

Dr. Cornet, of Berlin, collected dust from the walls and headboards of beds in whioh tuberculous patients had been confined, and found that in fifteen cases out of twenty-one the dust was capable of inoculating animals with the disease. Professor Thomson, in his address to Section A of the British As ociation recently, sums up our knowledge in regard to the true nature of X rays in the following words: "Thon^h there i8.no direct evidence that they are a kind of light, there are no properties of the rays which are not possessed by some variety of light." A aun dial made tor London would be uselews for either Paris or Edinburgh. The altitude of the pole star varies with the latitude, and hence in greater at Edinburgh, and less at Paris than at London; and as the stylus must always point to the polar star, the angle it makes with the dial plate mu6t vary with the latitude. It has been proven that the incandescent electrio lamp does not "smoke" the ceiling, as has been olaimed, but that the smoky effect is due to dust. The heat of the lamp naturally causes a current of air to arise, and the consequence is that there is more dast deposited on the ceiling above the lamp than anywhere else. Doctors D'Arson val and Charrin, of Paris, have been taking the temperature of the human internal organs.

Long before anyone thought of selling the candy that increases your appetite rather than satisfies it, a little Southern girl thonght out the recipe for herself. She was very fond of popcorn, also of molasses candy, and it occurred to her that it would not be a hoi! nlnn t.n mir them. There was an old hunting dog in the family, who had the same tastes, and when his mistress went into the kitchen to make her favorite delicacy, he went, too, and sat near the stove, with his great eyes fixed wistfully upon her and his month fairly dropping water as he smelled the good rich smell. He always got a generous share of the candy as soon as it was done. This is the way that little girl made it then, and the way she makes it now for her own children, who like it as well as she did. The corn she always preferred, if Bhe could get it, was the squirrel tooth corn.and, if possible, that which 13 OL. _l 11 _ J 2 was a year oia. oau sueneu uuu popped the corn, sometimes in a popper, but often in a tin pan with a pie* plate for cover. By shaking the pan as soon as the corn gets hot, the corn will pop as well in this fashion as in a regular popper. After the corn was popped, she set an iron skillet on the tire, with a cupful of molasses, a piece of batter the size of a walnut, and a saltspoonful of salt in it, and cooked | the mixture until, on dropping a little into a cup of cold water, it would candy. Then sbe set it on the back of the stove, where it would not cook any , more, and stirred into it just as much , of the popped coru a3 she possibly could. The more corn the better the < candv. Then she would take up the pieces of corn on the top of the skillet, which had the least candy on thom, ' and pat them luto cakes, or roll thcra into balls. Next, she would stir in more popcorn, and repeat the process, and so on, until she had used up all the candy. She would pet the cakes in a buttered dish away to cool, and afterward she and the dog wonld have a feast.?Chicago Times-Herald. Got His Jloney Hack.
