Just how to make a profit out of the by-producta of the dairy is often the question that settles the point of actual profit in the dairy. There are several ways pointed out by the writers, including skim cheese, feeding it to calves and to pigs. The latter of these methods has proven the most profitable with the generality of dairy men, who have learned to ^feed it to the growing pig in preference to the grown hog. Rows in pig do well on it, and if the skim-milk is necessarily sour then this latter -is bv far the best plan. There is, however, the old cow to take into consideration here. She is as load of her own product as any other animal, as is often witnessed to the owner's loss when she sucks herself. If fed to her with a proper mixture of other materials, it is our belief that skim milk will make a better return to the dairyman in this way than in any other.? Amtriom iKiirymtit. WIXTKn C.V15E (I? VINES. At the approach of cold weather the grape vines ..re pruned, tin fas! cued from the trellis and laid flat upon the ground. They may bo held in this position by simply placing a stone or other heavy object upon tin; end. and this will safelypass the winter anywhere except at the extreme North. Where the winters are usually very severe the vines should also be covered with soil, straw or litter of some sort; and pel haps this may be a good precaution with tender vines everywhere at the extreme North. Tender raspberries and blackberries are to be treated in a similar manner,but the canes being more brittle and more easily injured than grape vines, need careful liandliug and gradual bending while undergoing the operation. A good practice is to throw one or two shovelfuls of goil against the canes on one side and bend them over this by a sort of curve. !

When the planting season ariives a very large majority of farmers goto their cribs or corn houses and exercise some little care in selecting fair ears for their seed corn. Comparatively few, however, give the subject any attention previous to that time. A selection of the eais for seed, while on the stalks where the thrifty ? t,f the plants can be observed >- ~ tehl. Is a far befter pf:\n jfittT1 no argument for its recommendation. The early maturity of the seed car other things being equal, should cntit them to preference, along with pluni| ness and a full development into bug and handsomely shaped ears. If froi stalks producing double ears, take tl largest, if well formed, and, as a rul< those that grow low, lather than higl on the stalk. Kars with large cobs shouf not be chosen, but rather those ofsmalb diameter and with long kernels. Lik | besots like, and by a little attcntiou tc this matter improvement can constant!; be made. The preservation of the cars selcctc, may be insured by braiding the husks o: several ears together and suspending thoir from the rafters of the corn house or any other dry building. By so doing tin seed corn will be safe from rats and mic< as well asexciupt from dainpnersand moult that might affect its germination. Ii making a choice it is thought, as before stated, that both the ear and the stalk should be taken into consideration, rathci than the mere selection of a lyge cai. Again, consideration should he giver to the uumber of the rows, the length aud compactness of the kernels, and tin general solidity and weight of the ear There is some diversity of opinion as t< the time when the seed corn ought to In gathered, some claiming that seed gath ercd aud dried in the sun soon after th' kernel is out of the milk has more vi tality to withstand cold and damp after it is planted than if allowed to remain or. the stalk until dead ripe.

It is only in exceptional eases that the farmer can allord to purchase feed for s^ock. Nearly or quite all the food necessary to keep and fatten the stock for market should lie raised upon the farm. Hut oil-meal and bran can, in nearly all cases, he purchased and fed to stock with profit, and there are few materials that will add as much to the value of other materials, or will increase the value of the manure to the extent that this will. It is not altogether in their value themselves as it is in the increased value they give to other*materials in making up what we may term complete rations that they can lie used with profit. In order to feed stock during growth as economically as possible, it is an item to lessen the amount of grain fed. Not , that stock can lie properly prepared for | market with uo grain, but by using liran I and oil-meal in connection with other materials, the amount of graiu can be materially decreased. One of the strongest reasons for its use, especially during the winter, when stock must depend almost entirely upon dry food, such as straw, hay, sheaf or untun shed oats, and corn fodder, and I nun ou-iiicat matte u|> ;i ration mill win supply nil tin' elements of nutritiou. In most localities the better plan is to I secure a supply in the fall sufficient to last the greater part of the winter. It should be stored in bins 01 boxes where it is reasonably certain to keep dry. If it ran be kept |>erfectly dry it will keep in a good condition for feeding a long tini". without deteriorating in quality, while i* can be secured at a less cost at ibis time tli.r.i later. The best results can be secured if the feed is cut before mixing the bran,straw, unthre.shod oats, hay and fodder, if run through a cutter, and then a small quantity ol bran i.nd oil-meal is added, very little grain will be required to keep all the growing and breeding stock in good condition, and especially so if a comfortable shelter is provided, in addition; and the cost will be considerably less than if grain must be supplied. When fattening stock, grain must be largely depended upon to tinisli for market. And with these two materials, used j in connection with dry, ' ough feed, the J sioi-k win require mil a ngiu reed oi grain ; and in a majority of eases the less ! grain (VI the lower the cost.?Prairie Farmtr.

Tlie claim that t?eer is a healthy drink is the greatest of ' delusions. It bloats and makes fat. the drinker while sapping tbo strength of both latdy and mind. Even beer drinkors are fast finding this out. The Milwaukee iSturtiiW reports Theodora Roosevelt, former member of the Now York {legislature, us saying: ' Do Ton know." said Mr Roosevelt, holding tip his glass ami looking through tbo am her-btied lupiiil, "that there is not a thought ill a hogshead of beer, that there is not an idea in ;? whole brewery V I mean." continual the Now York politician, "that nothing of merit, was over written under the inspiration of lager beer.

Ron fort's Wine ana Spirit Circular, which is good authority in this ease, speaking of the discrimination of the Government in favor of beer, says: "If we were getting a better beer there woukllie room for soiuo toleration of this governmental favoritism; but. unhappily, the qualify of American bocr is steadily deteriorating. and already there are thousands of well-informed people who scrupulously refuse to touch it on account of its injurious effects.'' ? Again it says: "It is notorious that our brewers seldom drink their own beer or the product of any other brewery. At the places which they frequent ami at which they take their meals, or at public picnics and summernights' festivals which are attended by brewers, it is generally noticed that these men drink any tiling hut l>eer. If beer is healthy, whv do our brewers refuse to drink beer?' The Scientific American says: fit is our observation that beer-drinking in this country produces the very lowest, kind of inebriety, closely allied to criminal insanity. The most dangerous class of ruffians in our largo cities are beer-drinkers. Intellectually, a stniior amounting almost to paralysis arrests the reason, changing all the higher faculties into a mere animalism, sensual, selfish, sluggish, varied only with paroxysms of anger, senseless and brutal."

"An?W when Solomon: tad mode an end Of prhytng all this pmjer tnd supplication unto the Lord-" Between the last lesson and this ono we have passed over all the meat interesting and instructive account of the building of the most wonderful edifice that ever stood on this earth; and also the remarkable prayer of Solomon at its dedication; the lesson assigned us for to-day being the words of Solomon's blessing upon tbe |H;oplo after he had Anisbed his prayer. The throne on which Solomon sat at Jerusalem is called the Throne of Jehovah (I Cbvon. xxix., 38; xxviH., 8; IlChron. ix.. 8). Jerusalem Fhall yet he thq throne of Jehovaii and the capital of the whole earth (Jer. iii., 171. The site of the Temple in Jerusalem was Moun? Moriab, where Abraham received Isaac bock from the dead on the third day (IlChron. ill.,1; G?n. xxii., 3. 4; Heb. xi.. lfl). Israel's resurrection on the third day will l>e tho beginning of the restoration of Acta iii., 19-21; Tios. vi.,S; viii., 14; Ezek.. xxxvii., 1314. Tho Temple was to be exceedingly magnifies!, of fnmo aipl glory throughout all countries (I I'hron. xxii., 8). Tho gold and silver nlnne (brass and iron beinir without weinhtl amounted to 1,1515,000 talents, wtych at 114 pounds pat talent would be 64,135 tons, worth ovck four and a balf billions of dollar* (| t&ron. xxit, 14: xxix., 4, 7). On? room b%tMdlng. the Holy of Holies, was covered With six hundred talents, oi mors than thirty-four tons of {cold, worth I over sixteen millions of dollars (II Chron iii., 8). The laborers were 158,000 strangers cr Ucntihw, found in Israel (I Ki. v., 18-18 II Chron. tt., IT 18, who brought from th< mountains ana quarries the wood and stonf . for the house. Inere was neither hammer, nor ax, nor any tool of iron hxirri in th* house while it was in building (I Ki. vi? ~i). Believers are living stones (1 Pet. ii., ft, It.

Notice in His prayer that the house is called by the name of tho I^ord God of Israel, that. He is asked to hear for His Name's sake, that all people of the earth may know and fear His Name. Notieo the eigiit times repeated "Hear Thou in Heaven," and the four time* "Heaven Thy dwelling place;" also the seven fold nature of tho prayer, for tbo trespasser, the defeated, the drought smitten, tne plague smitten, the stranger, those going to war and those in captivity. He prayed before the nltar of Jenovah; Jesus is both altar and sacrifice, we can conic to God onlr in His Name and trusting in qis merit*, lie kneeled on his knee; with his hands Spread up tin Heaven; in favor of the position of kneeling in prayer see Ezra ix.,6; Ps. xcv., 6; Dan. vi., 10; Lu. xxii.,41; Acts ix.. 40; xxl., 5; but that, position is not essential; see Moees sitting, Hannah and Nehemiali standing, llezckiah, whilo sick, prays in his lied, Jonah from the fish's belly, the thief from the cross. A penitent heart i* everything, position of Iwxiy is secondary, though kneeling is most, scriptural mid most fitting when possible, 'flint God heard and answered this prayer, see II Chron. vii., 12. ftft.

When David brought the Ark to the tent which lie had pitched for it in Jerusalem* >m <>irei-?-i mcrlfico and blessed the peoplo in the name of the Lord of Hosts. <11 Sam. vi., 17, 18.) Kolouion, having now brought up the Ark, the taberuacle and all the holy vessels (v., 4) does the siuno thing. There is nothing on earth that can be compared to the Merging of the Lord. 56. "Blessed be the Lord that, hath given vest unto His people Israel.He had given rest on every side, so that there was neither adversary nor evil occurreut. (Chap, v., 4.)

Moses prayed: "If Thy presence go not with nie, carry us not up hence.', And the Lord said: "My presence shall go with tliee, and I will give tliee rest." This word of the I*ord: "I will bs with you," or "I am with you," is one of the grander and most' comprehensive words in 8~ripture. "Let Him not leave us nor forsake us." When David gave Solomon the plans of the temple which lie h^d received from God Himself. he said to him . "The Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; He will not fail thee nor forsake thee until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord." (I Chron. x:;rii(., 10. 20.i Solomon had proved the truth and blessedness of this promise, and now ho desired its continuance. 58. "That He may incline our hearts unto Him, to walk in all His ways." This was iust-what God desired from them, and what ie would be delighted to grant them, an undivided and obedLut heart; they could not. ask anything more in accord witli His will. 59. "Let these my words < ?*? bo nigh unto the Lord our God day aud night, that He maintain the cause of His servant, and the oHlJs people Israel." Seven times in hit/ prayer "iyia ho pleaded for "Thy 'J ?... mm nniluSUCHia: "Mil' ineV ho Thy }H?ple and Thine inheritance," and now ho indicates his relianco upon God to maintain his and their cause. 00. "That oil the people of the oarth may know that the Lord is Uod. and that there is none else." Israel was redeemed and given the good land, that they might make Jehovah n name in the earth -ill 8am. vli., 33); their obedience to Him would draw forth His power on their behalf, and thus He would lie glorified in them. This, God's earnest desire, shall lie fultillod in Israel's restoration at the return of their Messiah (Isa. xxf.,*, 9; xi., 1-5; lx.. 1-3; Ezek. xxxvii., 21-28). hi. "Mit your heart, therefore, bo perfect with the Lrrd our God." The word "perfect" here signifies "whole" or "full," as in Josh, vlii., 31; Buth il., 12, where it is so translated. Solomon now urges the people to have what his father had prayed tnat he might have (I Chron. xxix., 1W). 83, 63. "And the King, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the Lord." And the Lord accented tho rji/Triflr>? iw lire to consume it, ns it is written in I? Chron. vii., 1; "Now when Solomon had made an end of u ray tog, the tiro came down from heaven ana ^unumel the burnt offering and the NHtiflnK and tin glory of the Lord filled the house." Thus c!*> was the sacrifice accepted at tho dedication of the Tnliornacle, and In tho rates of Gideon and Elijah (Lev. ix., 34, Judges vi? 31: 1 Kings xviii., ho); and no doubt in tiin eeuse way vra.s the Lord's acceptance of Abel a offering and rejection of Coin's offering manifest at tho Garden of Eden wh?n the Arc from th? sword mistimed tfie one hut flid not touch the other.

There ha3 been a grt at deal of poetry written about liim, says the Boston Times. lie has been mritlo a ho'o, and an example of ull that is bright and attractive. His life has been gloiifled and idealized as the one perfect lifo. Writers who have done this hare not told Jhe truth. The farmer's boy would not recognize himself in the pictures drawn of him bv poets. He it honest-, he is innocent, he is Terdant, but he is no fool. The nearest he approaches to being one, in nine cases out of ten, is when he leaves the country and comes to the city iu order to prosper more rapidly. It is for better for him to be honest, innocent and verdant than to be dishonest, learned in all that is evil and corrupt-. But it cannot be wondered at that he ^rows rostive. He lises with the sun, works from one to two hours before breakfast, and t-lion iu the tield all day loug, and finishes mi king just a'>out sunset. It is a hard day's work, and a man who can see poetry in it would soon revise his thoughts should he do such a day's work himself. Ho knows that he is awkward in his movements, peculiar in his manner of speech, and not as well informed as the city boy. But he has feelings, and is sensitive of all these, aud gradually grows to feel that he is an object of nurtli and derision for people from the city. Ho naturally resents this, aud grows to feel hard toward such people. His pleasures aro lew, and consist principally of going to the country store on Saturday avening. whero ho meets theot'n r lioys, very like himself in feelings and actions. Ho is loud in liis jokes and laughter, and boisterous in talk. But he is honest. Ho is also really bright, and peoplo I who would make him out a clown frequently are themselves the ones to be laughed at. * His chief wcaknes3 is his desire to "show off." He seem to kayo a, very strong feeling that he must show strangers that lie is well informed in all things of the world, and that he is not as "green" as they think him. lie goes aliout this in a way full of figured indifference which is very amusing. But is not thij same weakness seen iu people of the city, although not in qnite the snmo form ? His life is a hard one and full of discouragements. But it is also practically free from worry aud excitement. It i? a simple life, but contains but little poetry, as said before. Right from tlie Country. She had an aw fill 1 ok of decision on her face as she entered a Summit street dry goods storo in Toledo the other day, followed by a tanned and blushing young man who np; eared as her escort. A clerk winked to a ribbon counter girl, and stepped up to the girl, whom ho sized up as being a country guy. "Got any bustles?" sho timidly n:-kod. "Yea, oh! yea, plenty of tliem," and he hunted around to find one of the obsolete articles of ladies' make-up. "Say," ahe called to him, "is this a three-kiled, steel spring?" "Ye-yes." | "Trot it out." "It's tlio latest style " "Thar, Sam,*1 she said, her face glowing as she turned to him, "veil hav ter by the oysters. I scd they'd lie."

To make soap bubles that will last for several hours is easy enough if the following liquid bo usee!: Dissolve one part try weight of Marseilles soap, cut into thin slices, in forty parts of distilled water, and filter. Cull the filtered liquid A, and mix two parts of pure glycerine with on^ part of the solution A, in a temperature of sixty-six degrees Fahr., and, after shaking them together long and violently, leave them to rest for some days. A clear liquid \vill fettle, with a turbid one above. The lower lo be sucked out from beneath the upper with a siphon, taking the utmost care not to carry down any of the latter to mix with the clear fluid. A bubble blown with this will last for several hours, even in the open air. Or tho mixed liquid, after standing twenty-four hours, may he filtered.
