^ HARE AND HAHREN. a
A cultivator whose experience of J
tillage is full and acute, says that no
other means of improving soil is equal to
letting it rest in grass a year or two.
This, ho observes, "gives a renewed n
vigor nnd vitality that nothing else will n
impart." It seems paradoxical to say
that the steadier land is kept in growing v
plants the richer it l?ecomes, but it is f
certain that a field left bare during the
autumn months may lose much through
the leaking away of the soluble nitrogen
formed during temperate summer c
weather, while a field seeded early to rye,
or any grass that will continuo growing *
till winter, will absorb and use, and to t
save, this all-essential provision. The
bottom secret of profitable farming is to ^
multiply the blades of grass.?jVeio York I

WATEK THE COWS.* 1
In hot weather do not he content to 1
drive the cows to water once a day, but 1
if possible let them have constant access
to it. Where this is impracticable, come j
as near to it as you can and give them )
water at least three times a day. Often t
by a small outlay water can be piped from
a spring into troughs in distant pastures, (
so that animals ueed not travel for it. |
When the water supply is near at hand ,
they will drink in moderate quantities as j
? ^tjjrjiervd itj wliich is much better than
as they will when extremely thirsty. ~~X
cow that does not have water regulnrly
anddn sufficient quantities in hot weather j
cannot be depended on to hold out in her
milk, and wheu a decrease in the flow is
onee established from any cause it is not I \
easy to regain it. Not only is it for the |
comfort of the cows to let them have all 1
the water they will drink, but it is for 1
our own profit that it should be not only
abundant but pure and wholesome. Al- 1
lowing cows to drink stagnant water is i
bad enough at any time and will always <
affect the milk and butter more or less, ^
but in the heat of summer it should not
be permitted on any account.?New York ,

UTILITY OF SHEEP ON THE FARM. ]
8ome one is trying to dispel the plcasnnt
faith people have long enjoyed in re- i
gard to sheep improving a pasture or i
farm. The statement that sheep must. eat. j
the same as other stock and that the sub- s
stance wliich goes to make up the wool i
..mi unuiw i.-) luai ic> me son is true and
evident, but there are many points of
dissimilarity between sheep and cattle in
their feeding in and effect upohsa pas- .
turc. With a small daily ration of grain
sheep will thrive in a bushy pasture .
where there is very little that other stock
would eat, and will kill out the weeds
and bushes at the same time; and if they '
really do not enrich the soil on the whole,
they will enrich the poorest.'jKirt of it !
and will add to the value of the pasture 1
by the value of the labor it would take
to kill out the weeds and bushes and
cover the surface with fine grasses. We '
have seen a field which had been used as i
a pasture for colts and calves till' afeout 1
one-third of it was covered with golden- '
rod and blackberry vines changed to a ?
fine grassy sward in three years by putting
in a few more sheep than it would \
keep in good condition, anil giving them \
extra food to make up the deficiency, n
And we know that there are thousands of j
acres of rough pasture in New England f
growing up to bushes, where the rocks
are too thick to allow cutting the bushc3 c
or plowing the land, that might be made
into good dairy pastures in the same way. j

IN-BREEDING AND INTER-BREEDING.
These terms have often been used bv <.
* v I
writers on breeding domestic animals, as f]
synonymous, but thej' are really of quite r
a different signification. In-breeding |;
means the mating of animals which are ^
more or less closely related; while interbreeding
is the mating of cross-bred animals,
that have no relationship with each
other. For example, suppose a Shorthorn
and Hereford are bred together, the 1
offspring possess half the blood of each.
Next, suppose the same ol a Sussex and j
Devon, then the offspring of these two
tmssus logemer. inis would no interbreeding,
their parents having no con- (
sanguinit.y of blood between them. It is
a safe course to pcrsue, and for the attain- 1
ment of special ends may at times prove W
quite an advantage to the cattle-breeder. ?
In-breeding, or breeding in-and-in, as it B1
is more generally termed, is dangerous
unless to a person of great experience,
and who is a perfect judge of the perfec.
. tions and imperfections of animals; then M
it may be advantageous. It is frequent - ^
ly followed by the unskillful with a loss ,j,
of size, thrift and constitution; and, finally,
by barrenness. Fatal diseases are
also to be dreaded, for suppose the par- j'
ent is touched with a disease: in conscquence
then of its consanguinity with the
other, this will be likely to be intensified
in the offspring; and if both parents have
the same disease, it will proba b!y be'
doubled or quadrupled in virulence.?

that he baa him in bis power. Jesus bn

this slight token 'of his power, he feels con- J
damned. His #>0017 was off his guard and
unable to defend himself, and David would OV
rather meet an enemy, if ho must be met, as so
he met the lion and the bear and Goliath,
in open fight, that the power of God might be ,,
manifest. There is nothing of the Spirit of 11
Christ in secret sayings or doings which will
not bear the light. * mi

thing unto.n> VJcr/th- Tgjrd's anointed."
Here is anos^MpRfdE~r^~~*~*ae; Saul was
not acting like the anofiited of the Lord
should act, hie life did not testify in that di- al
rcction, but am to his office he was "the M
anointed of the lord," and therefore respon- _
sible to God to act as such; and if he fiuled
it was for the Lord and notfor David to deal P"
with him. Two great practical thoughts are U>
presented here: if we are children of God by ki
faith of Christ Jesus, then we have received CA
tho Spirit, and are anointed kings and priests .
r.nto God, and are responsible every day to
walk worthy of our High Calling; and on
the other hand, though fanufe and even sin
may be manifest In the Uvea of the anointed pj
of the Lord, it is for their Lord and not for i
their fellows to judge and chasten them.
7. "So Davia- stayed his servant* with
these words; * * * Saul rot?e up out of
the cave and went his way." We may do at
very much by kind words and the manifestation
of a Christ-like Spirit to hinder others
from speaking against or touching In any RI
way the anointed of the Lord. We should tn
remember that it is written, "He that touch- r?l
eth you toucheth the apple of His eye." j,,
iZech. li., 8.) Every redeemed one, however p
full of failures is dear to God; even Israel, in

His soul." (Jer. xli., 7.) Saul, rising up
and going his way, unconscious of the loss of
a pare of his robe, reminds us that when we
are not In the Lord's way we may lose .many
a things andyet be unconscious of it .
with his face to the 0ai ,j." Notwithstanding ,
David's fears and ofttimee questionable con- tin
duct, here Is a truly humble and forgiving ra<
spirit. Whatever .were his sins, his heart th
was in the main right with God, and his fail- ho
ures tell us the truth of that which he him- *n
self wrote: "Vorfly, every innn at his best J1?
estate is altogether vanity." (Pe. xxxix., fi.) ^

Saul had turned a deaf ear to the words of of

conl for man is upon the words and thoughts Ca

ported, is constantly heeded, and there K
therefore, such unrest, while all the while
the God of peace is speaking peace and long- I
ing to give peace to all who will hear Him.
As to the false reports that David sought |}?

the unsaved that to be a Christian would de- mi

words, that Janus Is seeking their hurt? he

proof of the truth of it the part of Raul's robe ag
which he had cut off, thus testifying most wl
unmistakably that tboro was no evil in his
heart against Saul. 111

would act upon this principle, and remembering
that wicked words and deeds proceed
from wicked hearts, avoid all such, refusing J
even, when injured by them, to lay a hand
upon them, it might*be that some wicked .
