Whpn a boy on a farm, Rays a writ^" in Colman'a Rural World, I reuicinbor it was a standing rule to rake down a little hay into the horses' rack every time any one went into tin* stable. The result, was the horses would keep their grinders going nearly all the time, and become pot-bellied, unsightly animals. Horses fed in this way become mere machines, or hay cutters, the nutrition of the hay is not assimilated, and a large portion of it is wasted. By such stalling, every organ in the body is intvrferred with, and when put on the road or to work on the farm a horse so fed cannot move with any comfort until relieved of the superabundance of feed. The disease known as heaves is generally due to over-driving when the stomach is full of hay. Bulk in feeding is necessary, but when tiie food i? nearly all bulk an extreme has been reached, and it is time to change. Hay should be fed with as much care as grain is fed. Different horses require different qualities, and in feeding a* new horse it becomes a matter of experiment until his wants are ascertained. There is no other food on which young pigs thrive so well as on skimmed milk and Indian meal. l'ij;K are nlso very foud of whey, and do well on it provi dad they have a liberal allowance of Indian meal fed with it. To keep pigs on whey alone is a great waste of food and time. < hi skimmed mill;, and the inn of a clover pasture, a well-bred, young pig will grow rapidly; but even in this ease a little corn meal could be fed with very derided economy and advantage. Tinoil and stnrT-ti of tin rein restore to the skimmed milk the fat burning material which has b -eu removed ir< the butter, and, in effect, converts it into new milk again. lJui it is u ry desirable that the meal should he cooked by pom iiig upon boiling water, and stilling it carefully until it is made into l,puddue//l_Jui the ?dairy tht7Te is usually niiieh Ind water thrown away, which miglit be u?ed for this purpose, without eo-t, and with li! tie labor. On farms wheie much 'riWiii :is. ornivnO and only a few rows arc kept v ijt.ii> n-yal , ly not prolituhlc to keep a largcA-Yo^k of pigs. The coitmion mistake tmyjy.^however, is not in keeping too many, but in not feeding them liberally. As a rule, the pigs are kepi on short allowance until they are shut up to fatten, after the corn is ripe, although there > an he no aMdhi that a bushel of eorti, fed to pigs. whilg in clover during ttic summer. will pVo dure double or trehl" as tnueh pork as a ltushel new corn fed in cold weather,,in the autumn, when the pigs have nothing but eorti.

The English mutton herds of sheep and their grades ami erosses are much more liable to he troubled by ticks than Merinos, says Joseph Harris in the Amerir<i?. Atjrit 'ilinfist. Every English farmer dips h's sheep two or three time*- a year to kill ticks. Scores of preparations art sold for this purpose, and men go round front farm to farm with a convenient apparatus for dipping the sheep, and do the work at so much a head. As to the relative merits of mutton sheep and Merinos, tnueh may he said. Hut that is not our purpose at this time; what we wish to say now is, if you an keeping any open-wooled sheep of anj kind and have not dinned them this fall do not let another week pass witl ou doin" so. It is cruel to ti.e sheep ami . groat* loss to you. We once vented a fa Ser in Maine, who had -riven tip Menno; and was kccpimr g'rade ( ntsuohl.. feed them well," he sa,d -hut tl.e> de ?.? lUrivn h.'ing to prove jirOii^Vlle. I think I shall have to give up sheep altogether and keep more rows."' This was in winter. V?Y eauirht one of the sheep and on opening the fleece found it literally alive and hiaek with ticks. We have found many su< h instanc es elsewhere. Hefore wi:iter sets in sheep should he clipped twiee, one to kill all the iieks, and a train, two or three weeks later.to kill the young tic ks hate heel c>ut front the eggs 'aid previous to the first dipping. Tlii.? will e|V< et.tally cure the evil. The ticks are easily killed. j A favorite dip is made from toltaero s i -ms i or cheap toltaeeo. We have for many years used a dip made of a pound <>f snap and a pint of crude carbolic acid to lifty gallon of water. The only point to he observed is to keep the mixture well thinned. Dissolve the soap in a gallon or more of boiling water and add the carbolic acid .and st?r thoroughly. Then j mix with water and lite propoition named ( above, (it dipping let some trusty man | lmve hold of the h"*id of the sheep at.cl i i see that none of the mixture gets into the i mouth, or nostrils, r.r eyes. Kaeh sheep j I should be held in the clip not less than 1 t half a minute. c A dip that will probably he more, con- , | venicntly made it? a mixture of eoap and ' a Put thSa J feerogpno and 'or **" or /in churn mUk is lK>iUnS I fifteen miJ^^Ura w'^ the k*roIVI5 / hot wheoJP^ t*,e better. When I aeno it put two gallons of I thorj^? ? 7t'rr barrcJ I theftr*'' ' J l*r, stir it up, I ,.,.pit)g the sheep. The "an-J^of emulsion will 1m* ncede.l lvQfi^?dr more dip to keep the tub or bur ^^nill enough to cover the sheep. In iur own trials we jised soap instead of milk. Boil a gallon of water, nnd put iu it a pound of soap, and stir till it is dis solved. Then add two gallous of kero senc and churn as before, or, if you have a good syringe or force puinp, churn it with that for ten minutes, or till all the oil is "cut," and the emulsion is complete. It is not improbable that with so ? .? - j:.. much soap as above reconnneu'icu im- ?*i?? may need to be a little stronger?say one gallon of the emulsion to eight gallons of water. We like to use plenty of soap to avoid any possible injury to the wool. A pound of white hellebore powder to each two gallons of soap and kerosene emulsion makes a dip that finishes the ticks in a few minutes. The dip without the hellebore will do the work. ^ on will find no live ticks the next morning, and 0\Mr*i?.vi T!s always safer and better to give a second dipping in two or three weeks, and he sure you dip every sheep in the floek. It may be thought that we should tell how much dip will he needed for a given number of sheep. It i? not easy to do so. It requires almost as much dip for one sheep as for a dozen. You will need to have the tub or barrel fidl enough to cover the sheep. Much will depend on the size of the sheep aiid the size of the tub or bnrrel. You will probably have at. least twenty gallons to start with. IIow much more will be required to replenish the* dip will depend on how much care you bestow on squeezing out the dip from the fleece when the sheep is taken out. Kerosene is cheap, and it is better to have too much dip than too little, for if you get short some of the Inst sheep will not be thoroughly dipped. PAHM AM) OAllDKN NOTES. Make n specialty of some mm branch of farming and you will succeed. The size of the farm has little to do with the financial condition of the farmer. All root crops linble to injury from the frost, should be gathered without de lay. This is the time to ditch, drain, re pair buildings nud make improvements generally. Many years of experience show that J with ordinary, good and well cultivated soil, the best crops of potatoes are ob- j taiued by Hat culture. A well fed calf in autumn, having full J ficsti, is worth two others of the same | age poorly fed and of such stunted growth, j from which recovery is next to impos- | sihle. Chicks raised in brooders really dou- j bio their age. We have chicks now in our brooder that a',c so far advanced ?t throe weeks of age as those f ix weeks | old. in care of the Ivn. lint if you arc ' raising stock to keep, don't feed so heavy, j If you find your chicks droopy, look j out for lice.

There are "!>ig profits" in ducks, he- j jciiuse they are brought to a markctahlo 'age tpiicker than a chick, and frequently ! you can get more for them. Theii feath- j ,1-rs are marketable at a fair price; little ,is given for the be-d chicken feathers ! They are worthy your attention, i You know that if cons eat cabbage j ionions, or other strong smelling and pun jgent foods, they will make the milk liave ' that fiavor. Now, it stands to reason that wnter that has become impregnated with J manure wash, frog spittle or slime, will have the snme effect upon the milk. K"cp tliem away ironi u. If the fruit trees arc split by frost, a good plan is to heat grafting wax, spread I t over a piece of muslin, ami place over the wound, tying in place with strips of the same material wrapped around the trees. The strip covered with the wax should be sufficiently large entirely to rover the wound. The great object of cultivation aside from killing; the weeds, is to keep the soil open, so that it can absorb whatever is needed front the atmosphere to nourish the corn. The soil when kept in J this condition will gc t a portion of moisture in the dryest season, will get also much needed ammonia and the ! plants ??re thus greatly helped. i It is .piite an item to have the poultry ! gentle, and especially the hens. If the j ^ liens are tame they will make much better and safer mothers than if wild or nneon* | I trolable. A little pains should be taken i i j to make them gentle before they are set on eggs, as it may be necessary to handle | j more or less before the chickens will be able to take care of themselves.

Brewery hands ?r? generally furnished, free gratis, with nil the Iteer they can drink, and the World man ?\ys that tbey take advantage of this privilege often to the extent of from forty to one hundred glasses daily. (Inn monumental boar-ginir.ier, who tips the scale ntlkHl pounds, has a record of 140 glasses in a single day. "Our men," said one brewer, ''drink twenty to thirty glasses n day." Another declared: "The average number of glasses delink by our people during n day is seventy Ave apiece, each glass holding half a pint. We hnve a few brilliant stars who consider inn glasses j?er diem to be only ordinary oxerci.se. But what, stars! Six of them weighed I.vyI pounds.

During tliesi years the consumption of beer in England and Germany remained about- stationary, being 83.88 gallons in England, and 24.Ml gallons in Jerrnnny. These figures show two tilings: Kifst. that while in England and Germany the per capita amount of liquor consumed has remained the sntne during the last ten years, yet in this country it has increased during that short period seventyseven per cent. And second, that the overage German imbibes two and the English three times as freely ns the American. Yet drunkenness is more common in this country. MORAL AND LEOAL EFFORT.

"The God of Israel said, tho Rook of Israel spake to Me." In the first verso it was the God of Jacob, perhaps with the thought of tho Great Creator and Restorer (F.loliim), who could make something out of and use for His glory such crooked ones as Jacob and David and all of us arc by nature; here it is tho God and Rock of Israel, the same creating and restoring and covenant keening Etohim, but now in reference to tho broken, helpless, clinging, earnestly seeking one, who hacl power with God and man, and received tho now name of Israel (Gen. xxxii., 00-2*1. Both Moses and PavW loved to sporik of God as their Rock (Deut. xxxii., 4, 15, IS, 51: Ps. xviii., 2, 81, 4r>, etc), but it is from the margin of Isa. xxvi.. 4. that wo get the title "Rock of Ages." In this verso and thn Inst tve seem to have very dearly the Three Persons of the Trinity, the Rock pointing us to Ilim who was smitten for us, from whom alone nmes living water, in whom we hide, on whom we stand, and who shall soon break in pieces the governments of earth and establish His own kingdom. "He that rulelh over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God." We now for n time loso sight of David as we tlx our eyes upon that Just One (Acts vii., 52: xxii., 14), the King who shall reign in righteousness (fsa. xxxii., 1), of whom it is written: "Behold, the days come, snlth the Lord, that C will raise unto i David" p. righteous branch, and n king shall I rolgu and prosper, and shall execute judg| ment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall Ik* saved, and Israel shall dwell i safely: ami this is His n.inio whereby Ho shall bo called, the Lord our righteousness" (Jer. xxiii.,5, ti).

The two "olthoughs" which begin and end this verse point to possible failure on the part ot David and his house, for man I* only and ul ways when left to himself i?. failure; but the terms of the covenant indicated that while 1 iniipiity might have to tie chus! jiied David's house mid kingdom should he tv.tahlijhed forever (chap. vii., 1"-l!i); so that it might truly he called nil "everlasting covenant, or dared (or furnished) in all things and sure;" or. as it is in Iss.

(Isn. ix.; Jer. iii., 17; K-ck. xxxvii., With such a kingdom l?<?foiv him, and. like Abraham, believing what God has promised Ho is also able to perform, David is able to say: "This is all my salvation and all my desire." (V 7. "But the sons of Belial (It. V. the ungodly) shall be all of tliein as thorns thrust away; * * * * they shall be utterly burned with tire." Thorns and thistles are tho manifest evidence that the earth is still under the curse of sin (Den. iii.
