SIIAIIP-KNIKK THP, SUCKERS. f
Suckers from plum and apricot trees ,
are frequently produced by digging th? f
borders. Wherever the spade strikes ,
against a root a wound is made, and then ?
suckers form, and the habit, once ac- ^
quired, it is very difficult to stop. The ,
best course, as the trees are too large to |
remove, would be to clear away the soil j
around the suckers, and trace them to ,
their source, and cut them clean away ,
with a sharp knife.?(ianlening Hint- (

SHEEP I.OSINU Til Kill WOOL. |
Oldest sheep are apt to lose wool from t
their bellies if grain fed, especially in <
feeding with corn. The cause is indiges i
tion from over feeding. This produces I
fever, and the extreme heat under the
sheep when lying down destroys the tihre
of the wool, and loosens it from the skin.
v ' 8hwP corn?
clumps of wool are loosened from nil
parts of the body. Such sheep are utterly
worthless for keeping. After lingering
through the winter their owner has their
hides and some very poor wool in the
spriug for their keep. The experienced
sheep breeder will not keep any sheep
longer than six years, and he will not
feed any sheep with corn except those he
is fattening, and even thou with great
caution. ?Burton f'ultirotor.
CAItK OK CHICKS.
A little forethought saves much afterthought.
When little chicks come out
they do very well in May and the earlier
part of June, but as the hotter days of
July and August crowd on us, they need
attention. In day time they want shade
and grass, and at night plenty of fresh
nil- Tlu.u silt..ill.I In- Ici'iit in i*li?nii houses
Iry and freshly whitewashed. They
should not. he let out in the morning
until the dew is otT the grass, and the air
in their houses at night should lie arranged
to not fall too keenly on their little bodies,
for we find these two evils firing on
roup, or a species of what is known in
our race as "liny fever." A little powdered
sulphur and charcoal in their soft
food in the ineipiency of the malady, and
a piii<*h of sulphate of iron in their drinking
water is a preventive.?field
and Stockman.
MEAT AS \ KKKTIt.IZER.
^Vlint are called animal manures are
far more powerful than vegetable ,
manures on account of flic large amount I
of nitrogen which they contain. The I
flesh of all kinds of lish and quadrupeds !
makes excellent fertilizers, and usually
contain about fifty per cent. of carbon
and ten to fifteen of nitrogen, besides
salts of potash, soda, etc. Hut fresh
animal substances should not be applied
directly to the soil, but. first be deeoin?.iaad
hv mixing with muck or loam,
will present the escape or nmmoui.t mW.
sulphuretted hydrogen, generated as the
mass fenivmts. In a few weeks the heap
should he turned over and broken up
fine, adding fresh earth to cover the
whole when flic mixing is completed.
There is no doubt some loss of valuable
fertilizing elements by boiling the meat;
still, the refuse matter, if properly composed,
is worth much more per ton than
the very best stable manure.?New. York

The particular receipt referred to is as
follows: Half a bushel of quicklime is
slacked with boiling water in a barrel, j
the barrel being covered while the slack
ing is going on. The slacked lime is I
strained and a peck of salt dissolved in ,
warm water is added to it; also three ,
pounds of ground rice boiled to a thin
paste, half a pound of Spanish white, |
and a pound of powdered glue dissolved | ,
in warm water. The whole is mixed anil | ,
left for four or five days'; when used it is ,
made hot and kept hot. This is quite |
weather proof and will last for three or ,
four years. If color is desired, burnt 1 s
umber will give a light brownstone tint, t
which is very agreeable. Another wash
consists of half a bushel of lime slacked
with boiling water enough to cover it
tive inches deep; when the lime is quite o
slacked it is diluted with water, in which K
two and one-half pounds of sulphate of ! t
zinc and one pound of common salt are f
dissolved. It should be of a creamy con h

FARM ANI) GARDEN NOTES.
Pinal plenty of peas.
Is your seed corn ready?
Clean your oats before sowing.
Oct your onions in as early as possible.
To have tender lettuce don't sow thick, j
Use hemp twine this season if you can j
get it.
A loose, slack-looking apiary is unpar- 1
dutiable. *
To secure cells above a full stock, you |
must use perfect excluding zinc.
The boy on the farm is entitled to more ;
consideration than he usually gets.
Karlv spring is the best time to begin
preparations for the autumn fairs.
flood tools are essential to good fanning,
a saving in time and cost of labor.
Don't have fear about frost hurting
early grass seeding, for it don't work that
way.
It is always late to sow grass seed after
the first few favorable days in spring have
passed.
The difference between the cost of production
and net price received, is what
constitutes the farmer's profit.
What arrangements have you made to
make the work of your wife less the coming
season than it was the lost?
Sheep husbandry is a very poor'busV
ness for a farmer who is not acquainted
with it and has little aptitude for learning.
Never take a boy away from school because
he knows more than the teacher--"
! j'ist get a teacher who knows more than
j the boy.
Knongh sheep is absolutely required?
enough to restore jaded faculties?and
failure to get it is sure to be followed by
loss of powers.
Our country is large, and its interests
are varied; but it is not too large for
brotherly affection to exist between its
most widely separated parts.
A farm horse that steps briskly at. the
plow, or harrow, or mower, is worth
much more than another equally good in
appearance, but a slow poke.
It will be better to defer planting a day

Every *tep from the plowing of the
soil, through the various steps of applying
the fertilizer, planting the seed, eul-,
tivuting the crop and harvesting, requires
attention, and careful attention.
There is nothing that arouses the anger
of bees and causes a quicker resentment
than crushing them between combs and
under hive covers. By using some kind
of mat over the frames, a large part of
this difficulty will be removed.
A Camp of (irnss Huts.
Osmun Digna's camp at Hnndouh,
whence he recently retreated to Tokar,
was composed mainly of grass huts. It
was about one and a half miles long and
three-quarters of a mile broad, and must
have been capable of containing from
12,000 to lt>,000 people. Most of th?
huts were enclosed by grass fences in
groups of from three to thirty huts.

No attempts seem to have been made at
fortification. The bush was cleared for
about a mile around the camp, though
probably more for the purposes of fuel
and thatching than for any military
reason. Osman's own home was a very I
neat grass hut, and apparently he did not
rare about being disturbed by unwclcomo
visitors, as between his salon and his hut

ivhen thov killed the natwover." Tlie laalday
on earth In a mortal body bad come; this
night He would keep the jmssover with His
disciples, end on the morrow he crucified?
Christ our passover sacrificed for us (I Cor.
v., 7)?and He went forward calmly, unwaveringly,
knowing every gtep of the way
beforehand. It was over fourteen hundred
years since the first pnssover was kept that
light in Egypt, when by the blood of a lamb
the first born of Israel were saved from death
and the nation brought forth from their
bondage by the outstretched arm of Jehovah,
ami now the l^anib of God to whom
every sacrifice from the lieginning pointed is
about to be slain, whose blood saves from
eternal death all to whom it is applied, and
who shall yet accomplish for Israel a greater
deliverance than that from Egypt. We can
not think of His omitting n single nossover
feast since first Ho went up to Jerusalem with
Joseph and Mary at the age of 12, when Ho
uttered His first recorded words: "Wist ye
tu>ss?" Faithfully didtfe ^wp^tJ^Tiat business,
not seeking His own will or glory, but
in all things pleasing the Father, and soon wo
shall hear Him say to His Father: "1 havo
finished the work which Thou gavest me to
do." As we go forward finishing the work
which He gives us to do, let us cheerfully and
persistently renounce our own will in all
things and keep saying to Him: "Ixird,where
wilt Thou, what wilt Thou*"
Id. "He sendeih forth two of His disciples."
Just as when He wanted >he ass's
colt (chap, xi., 1), but this time we know
whom He sent, for Lu. xxii., 8, says it was
1'eter and John; He may have sent the same
two on the previous invasion, but we are not
told. He sendeth whom He wili, and where
He will, anil every disciple is expected to bo
ready and promptly obey, williug to be sent
anywhere, and just as willing to !> > passed

14. "The Muster saith, where is the guest
ehanilier where 1 shall eat the pnssover with
My disciples?" What a privilege to prepare
a room for Jesus and welcome Him and His
disci plfcs to it; what a privilege to let Him
have the use of anything that we have, but
how slow we are to "see it..
15. "He will show you a large upper room
furnished and prepared; there inane ready
for us." This indicates the man's cheerful
and willing service; he did not do as little as
[ heeould; lie did not say. Well, if I give the
use of a room that, is all He ean expect oftne,
but, like Mary, in the previous lesson, he did
! nil that he could, he gave a furnished and
prepared room. Jesus gave Himself, His all,
for us; unlets we cheerfully place all we are
and have at His service it is a proof that we
i do not know or appreciate His love tons,
i 1(1. "His disciples went forth and came
into the city, and found as lie hail said unte
them; and they made ready the pnssover."
When we obey Him we will always find it
' just its Hejpys; there is nothing so safe anrl
1 sure and glorious as lielieving anil obeying
1 ( hid. If we are willing and oliedient. we shall
eat the good of the land (Isa. i., ID). He has
prepared for us a passover and invites us t<
come under the shelter of His blood and con
stantly partake of Himself, saying unto us
"He that cateth Me. even he shall live bj
Me." (John vi., 57). We in return may pre

would have complete record, read bct.woe
the last verse and this one Luke xxii., 15-If
Johu xiii.. 1-17, and prayerfully ponder th
things written there concerning the kitigdor
of (tod and the present need of cleanness
Jiuniilitv and k>\ ing ministry to others.
1M. "They began to Ik* sorrowful, and t
say unto linn, one by one, Is it. I?"' Luke ait

themselves, doubting of whom He s|mk?
What a testimony to the devilish skill o
Judas that he could l>e for three years a thic
and hyjKicrite, and these eleven not find i
| out and jierhaps not suspect it; on the othe
i hand what a glorious testimony to the lonj

; never in nnv way indicated to the other

with Me and vet kill Me, which would la* th
breaking of the most solemn vow of frient
ship and fidelity. Matthew says, "he tlin
dinpeth his hand with me in the dish," whic
might imply that Judas was sitting or reclii
ing near to Jesus; he also tells us tnat Juds
then said: "Master, is it It" to which Jesu
replied; "Thou hast said," thus finally point
lug him onl before thetn all, for the time ha
come, as it will surelv come, sooner or Litei
to all like him. For further light on thi
particular moment at the feast read Job
xiii.. 24-.10.
21. "Good were it for that man If he ha<
never lieen born." 111011, plainly, it is bette
never to lie born than to profess to belong t
' Christ and lie n hypocrite. It will lie mor
1 tolerable for the ungodly than for professim
Christians who are not real Christians; i
will also |>e more tolerable for those wh<
never heard of Christ than for thoso whi
have heard of Him and rejected Him.
22. "And as they did eat, Jesus took bread
find blessed, and brake it, and gave to then
and said: Take, eat; this is My Ixxly." W<
conclude from John xiii., .10, that Judas hn<
at this time gone out, und now that the pass
over sacrifice was about to receive its gram
fulfillment (the future fulfillment in the king
dom will Ik* as to results), Jesus institutes i

Ills followers till Becomes again ;i O01. xi.
I 2ft). It is gloriously simple; it is grandly soi
] enin. He takes bread. He gives thanks, H<
| breaks the bread nnd as He gives it to them
lidding them to eat it. He says: "This i:
My bony which is given for you, this do it
remembrance of Me." (Luke xxii., lit)
2.1, 14. "And He took the eun, * * <
and He said unto them: This is My blood ol
the new testament which is shed for many."
After all had ealni of the bread then lie
passed to each the wine, bidding them drink
of it, and telling them that it was His blood
shed for the remission of sins.
'l.i \ erih I say unto you, I will drink 110
more of the fruit of the vine, until thai day
tuat I drink it new m the kingdom of God.*'
