Whpn ? boy on a farm, says a writ^
in Column'a Jtural World, I remember it
wati n stauding rule to rake down a little
hay into the horses' rack every time any
one went into the 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 stuffing, every
organ in the body is interferred 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 the food
is nearly all bulk an extreme has been
reached, and it is time to change. Hay
should be fed with as much care as grain

qualities, and in feeding a now 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. Pigs arc also very
fond of whey, and do well on it provided
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. Oil skimmed milk, and the run of
a clover pasture, a well-bred, young pig
will grow rapidly; but even in this case
/ a little corn meal could be fed with very
decided economy and advantage. The
oil and starMi of the corn restore to the
skimmed milk the fat-forming material
which has been removed in the lmtter,
and. in effect, converts it into new milk
again. But it is very desirable that the
meal should be cooked by pouring upon |
boiling water, and stirring it carefully .
until it is made into "pudding." In the. |
dairy there is usually much hot water i
tlirowr. nwav. which miolit lie n??d f#? !
this purpose, without cost, and with lit
tie labor. j
On farms where ruueh giWia/is. groivri^ I
and only a few rows are kept i^syal-, '
ly not profitable to keep :\ hirgMsYo^k of i
pigs. The common mistake ^however,
is not in keeping too many, but in
not feeding them liberally. Ajs a rule,
the pigs are kept ou short allowance uutil
they are shut up to fatten, after the corn
is ripe, although there can be no -rbMlbt
that a bushel of corn, fed to pig&-whilst
in clover during the summer, will produce
double or treble as much pork as a
bushel new corn fed in cold weather,.,in
tlie autumn, when the pigs have nothing
but corn. A few fall pigs c;iu be kept
in the yards during the winter to good
advantage, especially if the cattle are fed
grain. But it is a great mi.'take td stint
young pigs through the winter, although
it must be confessed that it is a very
common one. Youutr nigs should he kenfc

TICKS ON KMKKl*.
The English mutton herds of sheep
nnd their grades and crosses are much
more liable to he troubled by licks than
Merinos, says Joseph Harris in the American
Agriculturist. Every English farmer
dips his sheep two or three limes a year
to kill ticks. Scores of preparations are
sold for this purpose, and men go round
from farm to farm with a convenient ap- !
paratus for dipping tho sheep, and do the '
work at so much a head.
As to the relative merits of mutton
sheep and Merinos, mueh may he said.
Hut that is not our purpose at this time;
what we wish to say now is, if you are
?"^i' ""J
kind nnd have not dipped them this fall,
do not let another week pass without
doing so. It is cruel to the sheep and a
great"loss to you. We onee visited a farmer
in Maine", who had given up Merinos
and was keeping grade Cotswold's. "I
feed them well," he said, "hut they do
Kik^j' tioiiwoWs are not going to prove
jirofltahle. I think I shall have to give
up sheep altogether and keep more
cows." This was in winter. We caught
one of the sheep and on opening the
fleece found it literally alive and black
with ticks. We have found many such
instances elsewhere. Hcfore white** sets
in sheep should he. dipped t wice, oner; to
kill all the ticks, and again, two or three
weeks later,to kill the young ticks hatched
out from the eggs laid previous to the
first dipping. This will cfToctuully cure
the' evil. The ticks are easily killed.
A favorite dip is made from tobacco stems
or cheap tobacco. We have for many
years used a dip made of a pound of soap
and a pint of crude carbolic acid to iifty '
gallon of water. The only point to be !
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 (
mix with water and the proportion named c
above. In dipping let some trusty man |
' have litilfl f>f it". 1
.... .. in >?i hip sncep tir,(l i c
sen that none of the mixture tfcta into the j ii
mouth, or nostrils, or eyes. K.ich sheep li
should be held in the dip not Je*s than I t
half a minute. ! c
A dip that, will probably be rnoro cou- j p
veaieDtly made is a mixture of eoap and ' a<
.'I \ilk. Put them

_ ?y churned put two gallons of
vision in the dipping tub or barrel 1
twenty gallons of water, 6tir it up,
l*?t continence dipping the sheep. The
nfcrved gallon of emulsion will be needed
fr make more dip to keep the tub or bar ^
el full enough to cover tne sheep. In
>ur own trials we jised soap instead of
<nilk. Boil n gallon of water, and put iu *
it a pound of soap, and stir till it is dis
?olved. Then add two galious of kerosene
and churn as before, or, if you have
a good syringe or force puinp, churn it (
-? -? - * nil ?n ?Ko
wnn mat ior isn mumics, ... .... .... ....
oil is "rut," and thr emulsion is corn (
plete. It Is not improbable that with so
much soap as above recommended the dip
may need to be a little stronger?say ouo
gallon of the emulsion to eight gallons of
water. We like to use plenty of soap to ?
avoid auv jiossiblc 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. You will ?
find no live ticks the next morning, and
UvMT?v?.vi aw?<Hj{y?llfr.always'' ~
.safer and better to give a second dipping
in two or three weeks, and be sure you n,
dip every sheep in the flock. el'
It may be thought that we should tell
how much dip will be needed for a given ^
number of sheep. It is not easy to do so. hi
It requires almost as much dip for one w
sheep as for a dor.cn. You will need to
have the tub or barrel full enough to f(1
cover the sheep. Much will depend on the ni
size of the sheep aiiil the size of the tub
or barrel. You will probably have at ?,
least twenty gallons to start with. How A
much more will l>e required to replenish K'
the dip will depend on how much care p|
you bestow on squeezing out the dip from si<
the fleece when the sheep is taken out. <>J
Kerosene is cheap, and it is better to "(
have too much dip than too little, for if te
you get short some of the Inst sheep will tli
not be thoroughly dipped.

good plan is to heat grafting wax, spread j tii
it over a piece of muslin, and place over j v>
the wound, tying in place with strips of i f"'1

should lie sufficiently large entirely to ,

The great object of cultivation aside ; JJj
from killing the weeds, is to keep the ;

plants are thus greatly helped.
It is quite an item to have the poultry ?

to make them gentle before they are set ?
on eggs, as it may be necessary to handle
more or less before the chickens will be fj
able to take care of themselves. fi

MORAL AXn LEGAL EFFORT.
Moral suasion and moral force is one of
foundation-stones of the temperance rcirm,
and must ever nud continually bo
nmtniued. To make, to sell, or to drink is
i have |MU't in siu and wickedness of the reilts.
'I liw appeal to the conscience is one of
io strongest weapons in this warfare. Rev.
r. Ecob Rhys: "Every man who touches,
istes or handles this accursed thing is a sinsr
against man and beforo God." This is
w of the strongest arguments for tho abso
te prohibiten of the traffic that can bo
relented. The sin of the <lrink habit nnd
ink traffic must be proclaimed so long ns
i?-driuk exist*, and until It is banished from
ic fac? of the earth.
Moral suasion and moral effort, however,
in never have much more than a few indidual
triumphs hero and there so long as
ic- strong arm of the State is thrown around
io liquor traffic, aud it is legalized and sancuierl
and protected by statutes and Govunu-nt
officers. "Regulation" cannot ragate

1. "Now these be the List words o 1 David.
Things are apt to look very different when
one comes to the last hours of life in the mortal
body; earthly things fade, their importance
vanishes, trials F?vni no longer great,
and oternal tilings become intensely real;
there is nothing worth considering but tho
King of Righteousness and His righteous
kingdom. David, the man after God's own
heart (I 8am. xiii., 14; Acta xiii., 29), is in
this lesson brought before us with eyes directed
afar off to the highest mountain peak
of revelation, the establishment of the kingdom
referred to in chap, vii., Id. Jacob sees
and speaks of the same things when hi his
dying moments he calls his sons around him
and tells them what shall befall them in the
last days. (Gen. xlix., 1, 10.)
9. "The Spirit of the Dora spake by me,
and His word was in my tongue." Here is a
definition of inspiration. The Spirit speaks,
tho words are His, but He ""fa David's
tongue; so Jesus testified that David himself
said by the Holy Ghost (Mark xii., 88) and
Peter testified that the Holy Ghost by the
mouth of Davkl spake; so Paid testified that
tho Holy Ghost'^>ako by Isaiah (Acts i., IB;
xxViii., 25); and in II Pet. i.. 91, we have the
comprehensive statement that "Holy men of
' lod spake as thoy woro moved by the Holy
"jGboet." Tho Fifth Article of Kolirfion in
our Book of Prayer emphatically states that
"Holy Hcriptilre is therefore the Word of
God; not only does it contain the oracles of
God, but it is it-self the. very Oracles of God.".
Let us yield our, too often unruly, tongues
to this same Spirit, who dwelleth in us if wo
are true believers, that Ho may use them
only for the glory of God.
8. "The God or Israel said, tho Rock 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 (Elohini),
who could make something out of and use
for His glory such crooked ones ns Jacob and
David and all of us are by nature; hero it is
the God and Rock of Israel, the same creating
and restoring and covenant keening
Elohim, but now in reference to tho broken,
helpless, clinging, earnestly seeking one, who
had power with God and man, and received
the now name of Israel (Gen. xxxii., 26-98).
Both Moses and Davlrl loved to speak of God
as their Rock (Deut. xxxii., 4, 15, 18,31: Ps.
xviii., 2, 81, 40, etc), hut it is from the margin
of Isa. xxvi., 4, that wo got the title
"Rock of Ages." In this verse and tho
last we seem to have very clearly the
Three Persons of the Trinity, the Rock
pointing us to Him who was smitten for us,
from whom alono comes 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
'.hat ruleth over men must be just, ruling in
the fear of God." Wo now for a thneloeo
sight of David as wo fix our eyes upon that
Just One (Acts vii., 52;xxti., 14), thcKingwho
shall reign in righteousness (Isa. xxxfi., 1),
of whom it is written: "Behold, the days
coine, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto
Ravkf a righteous branch, and a king shall
reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment
and iuslice in the earth. In his days
Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell
safely; and this is His name whereby He
shall be called, tho Lord our righteousness''
(Jer. xxiii., 5, fi). Whatever He does shall be
done in the fear of the Lord, faithfully, and
with a perfect heart (II Chron. xix., 0). *
4. "And He shall be as the light of the
morning when the sun rlseth. even a morning
without clouds.'' One of His last names
in Scripture is in Rev. xxii.. Hi. "Tho root
and tho offspring of David, tho bright and
morning star;" and in Ma), iv., 2, "The sun
of righteousness.'' The time of His appearing
in glory to build up Zfon (Ps. cii., If?) is preeminently
called "the morning," as in l's.
*lvi., 5 (margin), where th? whole subject it;
the safety JTItrHbl when He judges tho nations
una makes wars to cease, and where it
is written "God shall kelp her when the
morning appeareth," or (H. V.) "at the dawn
of the morning," and again in Ps. xlix . 14,
"Tho upright shall have dominion over them
in the morning."
5. "He liath made with me an everlasting
covenant-, ordered in all things and sure.
This is our goldc-n text, and it is in some respects
the center of tho lesson, for it brings
before us God and His faithful covenant and
assurance of complete fulfillment, inasmuch
as there can be no failure on His part. The
two "althoughs"' which begin and end this
verse point to possible failure on the part of
David and his house, for man is only anil always
when left to himself a failure;* but the
terms of the covenant indicated that while
iniquity might have to lie chast ened David's
house and kingdom should be established for
ever (chap, vli., 12-lfl); so that, it might
truly lie called an "evorlastin; covenant, or
dered (or furnished) in nil things mid sure;"
or, as it i? in isa. lvM ii-.\ "The auromercies
of David," pointing to the Urao when other
nations shall run to Israel because of their
glorious king. Gazo on tho full consummation
of tho things included in this covenant
as revealed to tho prophets: "Of tho increase
of His government and peace thero

nnd upon his kingdom, to order it and to establish
it with judgement and avith justice,
henceforth even forever;" "At that time
thoy shall call Jerusalem tho throne of the
Lord, and all tho nations shall he gathered
untoit, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem,
neither shall they walk any more after tho
imagination of their evil heart." "And I
will make them 01:0 nation in the land upon
the mountains of Israel; and David, My servant,
shall bo king over them; and tho nations
shall know that I, the Lord, do sanctify
Israel, when My sanctuary shall be in the
midst of them for evermore." (Isa. ix.; Jer.
iii . 17; Ezojc. xxxvii., .?!- >*.1
With such a kingdom before him, and, like
Abraham, believing what (lod has promised
Ho is also M>!e to perform, David is ablo to
say: "Tills is all my salvation and all my
desire."

burned with tiro." Thorns and thistles are
the manifest evidence that t he earth is still
under the curse of sin ((ten. iii. 1H); Jesus
uses them as a symbol of the natural, unrenewed
heart when ho says: "Do men gather
grai>es of thorns, or figs of thistles?" (Matt,
vlil. 1*1), Aud the ungodly are thus described
in Ksek. ii, ft; "Though briers and thorns l>a
with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions,
be not afraid of their words." We are
all of us such by nature and I13' practice; sin
dwelleth in 11s, and all have sinniA and come

workod in the foundry, ami alwjufc three
months ago took off his boot s on the
plea that they hurt him, ntr.d then
burned his foot R<> severely thajt ho wan
laid up. When Hie burig 'Wits healod
he put vinegar on it, and aggravated
it to prevent its getting well. Tho
prison physician treated li'Tn, and
managed to euro thewound. Curtis
was sot nt work again, .die worked
four days, and then with r? hatchet, cut
off hi* left hand. It took two blows.
Ono cut through the tleHiy part of the
hand, the other cloo.'n through tho
wrist joint. He confessed that he did
it to avoid work.?A"fit' l'ork H'orW.

If wires are bound to bo obedient,

"All men have r.ot faith."
A neighbor found herself unexpectedly
straitened in tho midst of hci
pastry bakiuc, and ran over to the
liouso of Mrr,. Hooper, who kept more
than a hundred lions, to ask if ilie
could spare a single egg.
"Well, I'll see," answered Mrs.
Hooper, and. putting ou her aunbonnet,
she went out to a distant field in

her return she paid:
"Yes, Ciideon ea;,? yon can have il.
