AGRICULTURAL : . TOPICS OP INTRKE8T RELATIVE! TO PARM AND GAKDRN. Mfl.K FROM TIIIN COWS. ' When a cow is thin, and especially if she l>e losing flesh, her milk cannot ho rich in fat, and what tliero is will make poor butter, and come slowly. This is the trouble that many farmers find at the beginning of winter. Cream that could be made into butter in fifteen or twenty minutes has now to be flhiuord an, bry*" ' n ITT leea the w ~ cows more heavily, and with something that will increase fat as well sis milk flow. If the cow be worth keeping as a milker sho will not dry up and become beefy tinder sucn treatment, m sue noes it is a fair warning that she is worth more to the butcher than for the dairy.?Ameri# can Cultivator. GEESE KAISING. Many persons, after having decided to try their hand at geese raising, purchase a few mongrels of light weight, at market prices, instead of sending to a reliable breeder and getting first-class stock at a price that would seem cxhorbitant to them. An exchange says this is n mistake, and one that must inevitably follow through the whole course. The five or more pounds that the well-bred goose outweighs the common goose widths enormous difference in the receipt. The main thought to be kept in mind is tho worthlessuess of the articles of food in which geese delight and which comprises, for a great part, things wasted and at the most of little value. Cabbage, turnips, potatoes, and all other kinds of vegetables and grasses form their staple food, with only sufficient grain to give a variety. They are distinctly a grazing poultry, and will keep the grass as close as a flock of sheep. The ' value of their manure upon worn-out pasture must also not be lost sight of, as it is rich in amount, and, for this reason ?I -1.-..-. r,.? l,nn. geese wouiu seem w rivm efiting many parts of our country. no jvrc, also very valuablo, as the sonre plucked by some onre in a month vti six weeks. While I should not advocate it as often as this, yet they may certainty be plucked once or twice a year and be benefited by it, as the process of molting is facilitated. The only precaution to he taken is that no blood is drawn with the feathers. If the quills contain blood it may be inferred that the feathers are not in a ripe condition and on no account must they be disturbed. It will be found in a large llock of geese, as in one of hens, that all the members do not molt at one stated time, hut vary some weeks, so that they should he plucked at different periods, when the feathers are in the ripest condition.?Firm, Field and stockman.

In strength of bone and quantity of the meat the advantage was clearly on the side of the corn-fed pigs. , simim.k cn.Trm; ok ctxkuv. t gardener who has traveled widely^^Btt 's acquainted with all the.

'"I"' I hat it j grew in my ov>n garden an^ri111"' from s my own cellar, l>is wondcr^ltfiunficd. But when I told how easily and ch^p^r j, it had been raised I really think his ^ credulity was shaken, Long familiar p with the accepted, theory of..celery growing and the; alleged reipiirrinciitH of the. jj crop, I had often wondered if there was s not a good deal of unnecessary routine about, it. And when 1 concluded to p make a business of growiug it myself, ^ though only on a very small scale, I put () this suspicion to practical lest and confirmed it. My theory is, in brief, that if ' given plenty of food and water the plants J may ho grown front 'the seed without .1 transplanting, and thickly enough for 1 mutual blanching, thus saving the c\- | pensc of both transplanting and earthing 1 tip. My method, which may he dMoriplively named the four row tlat cilture ' p method,is to open a trench a foot deepand j (.| from twenty to twenty four inches wide. , This, however shotI, ran be nio>i eron- >mi j tally done with plow. Manure from the general manure shed, consisting of horse, cow, hog and hen manure, mixed as made, and always moist enough not to burn, is thrown into the trench, filling it n to the surface level, and covered with tie- I'1 fine earth from the trench to the depth of a( about six inches. This is then trodden j down firmly, and upon it with the prong hoe and garden-rakc a fine mellow seed- j bed is made. The seed is sown by line dd not by mark, on the surface in four rows four inches apart. If a shower I comes along at the right time no other I covering is needed, otherwise it is covered by the liberal use of water throngh a fine hose, which watering is followed up as often as necessary through the season. Planted in good garden soil with no admixture of mnnure or fertilizer, the plants make a healthy growth and a broad and vigorous mnt.[rrngHi twifnro I-Im ^ These plants are, in fact, as well "hardened" and better rooted than tho twicetransplanted plants put upon the market in their season. The only labor subsequently expended upon the bed is to keep down the weeds and to thin the plants to one in three inches in the row, nnd no further attention i3 necessary, | except to provide water in case of | drouth. There may be a few strag- | gliug leaves in the outside, rows, but as ( a whole the waste stalks arc less ntuner- | ous than under the old system. Perhaps the stalks nre not quite so white as when earth-blanched, but they are as crisp and tender, ami finer flavored. There is just one risk of failure to be guarded against under this method. A heavy rain destroyed my first sowing this year; at least not a seed grew. It was three weeks before the ground became dry ifcnw trrreaN ening weather of early November admonished us to guard against ( its total loss by storing it in ' winter quarters. The season having thus been shortened at both ends, theoeiery is little more than half grown, but it compares favorably with most of the other crops of the season. In storing it the plants are set with what earth adheres to , the roots, upon a place in the cellar ! where the ground is always wet, but without any surplus water. The ventilation is good, and the celery is fit for the table till warm weather. In fact, it makes a little growth. Celery is not only a luxury, but a most healthful condiment, better far than many of the more pungent articles in so general without ' \\W.K harmful, indirect influences. j i i .* *" ** ?. ?<u)on the | doubtless would be but for the prevailing idea that it cannot lie produced except ( under certain highly favoring conditions : and bv ?xnerts. \ onen .minnnQorl cnnlt 4^ j he the case, but now, by the above sys' ton, I have no more trouble in growing { good celery than any other garden vcge- i I table. farm and harden notes.

Thus ends the first, second and fourth books of Psalms (xl>., 13; Ixxii., 18; evi., 48) telling <>f God's mercies and deliverances, past and future, for His people Israel. The name is first found in Ex. v., 1, when Moses and Aaron demand of Pharaoh that he lot God's people go, and is always associated with God's special interest in that people. The prophet Jeremiah associates the two titles, Lord of Hosts and God of Israel, at least thirty times, indicating His power to care for His people and deliver them. "He hath visited ami wrought redemption for His people"' (R. V.). It was four hundred years ?ince Malachi had said that the covenanted with David and Abraham, hut now llis time had come to work redemption for them and to redeem them if they were willing.

"Ami hath raised up an horn of salvation for 11s in the house of His servant David." The horn is the symbol of strength 01 power. Hannah sings of her horn and the horn of His anointed; David sings of the horn of his salvatiou, which is Jehovah (I Sam ii., I, 10; Ps. xviii., 2){ and in Ps exxxii.. 17. Jehovah Himself says that ir Zion lie will make the horn of David b laid, indicating the coming of the Messial from the house of David. 70.
