Its early growth may bo forced in a greenhouse, hothouse or cellar. Sur. rounding and covering a few mots out of doors with fermenting stable manure will give it an early start, when most ot the covering inay bo raked off and the plants be further protected from cold by a covcrinu nf roiKrh litter or evergreen hranrhrs. iiiuiuu Hjipiifu line; in iaii, or cany ip ; i winter around the trees would remedy i t this evil.

Be " '11 sure your own hands are clean, and do ' . not wet the cow's teats with milk. Be 1 very gentle with the row and accustom j (1 her to the contact of your left arm , 0 against her leg while milking. A three- ' legged stool is the best thing to sit upon ; " and, ?f you are ipiitn sure <>t the , good * conduct of your cow, the i?atl may stand on something well under her. Otherwise 1 the safest way is to hold it between your knees, so that you tan seize it. quickly . and prevent the milk from being spilled i by her movements. Take hold of the teats well up under the udder, pressing , the milk downward into the teats. Milk ' as fast as you rati without. being rqugh about it, audyou will get more milk than you will if you are slow and tedious. It y is better (or a person to milk the same ; ^ cows and not change indiscriminately when there arc a good many cows and 1 several milkers. This kind of regularity * is more agreeable to .the cow ,than the j surprise of being milked by a new' hiiiid." When this becomes necessary the ne?v .

I Too much stress can scarcely be laid upon the importance of raising a variety of crops, and not hazarding all upon a favorite one, which by a failure caused I by' an unfavorable season, may occasion j a loss that few farmers are able to hear. I One of the reasons usually assigned by flail, uM'ough not a money making one, , it. is a safe business if properly con- 1 | ducted.

One or more of these ma\ t suffer, while the others do exceedingly n wcfF and thus compensate for a partial deficiency in the whole.

This ! exposes it to one danger not often j < thought of. This is the deep freezing 1 t which mien occurs on sucn sons wnen i not covered by snow. While the bulk j of the original forests remained, snow war not drifted by winds, and lay evenly over the surface. In those times peaches were grout n in many places where they 1 have long since been abandoned. The ' temperature of the air in winters is not ! lower now than it used to be, and the failure of peaches where they formerly | succeeded is probably due to deeper freezing of the soil, destroying vitulity j l>y depriving the tree of moisture.

What the stock eats is of more conscience as affecting the value of manure han is the kind of stock to wh*'"h it is red. In many places the manure pile is ilso no iuconsidcraldo part of the farriers' profit in feeding. Of late years, 1 vith just enough exceptions to illustruto he generality of the rule, the manure is dl the profit that the feeder gets. It bcloovea him, therefore, to so feed as to linkc the manure pile rich. No subject I wakens so much interest in the discuslions at farmers' institutes as how to feed io as to make the richest fertilizjr. and at he same time make manure of the best ] juality.' There are some common popu- ! ar misapprehensions on this point, due , o confounding the feeding value of | various articles with their value passing hrough the animal and going into tho uanure heap. For feeding especially to? attening animals, corn is very valuable, I uit owing to its deficiency in mineral and j ilbuminoid nutriments, it does not make 10 rich a manure as oats, peas, beans, or ven as wheat bran. In the tables showng the commercial value of various elenents for manures, wheat bran is reckoned t about $13 per ton, which is nearly its citing price. In feeding, especially to growing stock j nd to cows giving milk, souie of this ; mtricnt value will be used in the an- ! mal economy, but in either case it will j mly do,so iu the production of what is j if much more value than it could l?c as nanure. A certain amount of carbonceous food, corn for example, can be iTollUtlily mixed with whnixt hvun itu tool or cows and young stock. It will make icbcr milk and keep the cow in better oudition. A smaller amount of corn ileal with bran will keep the young stock n better condition, especially in cold veather, and make them able to eat norr and assimilate more of the bran. ('lover hay is nnother very valuable ecd for making rich manure. It is the 'armor's cheapest fertilizer, cspeccially vlien grown upon the farm where it is ed. What it contains of starch and carion is mainly drawn from the air. Its ninernl elements come mainly from the ubsoil. where roots of other plants canlot reach them. There is good reason to relieve that the shade of a growing lover crop, combined with the action of lie roots in the soil, helps to decompose, j uider certain circumstances, the air in j die soil, and make some of its nitrogen , Mailable rts a plant food.

Miii " tha Holy QMt, rlltlVnM ftfom Jordan." This lesson seems to follow immediately the last one, which tokl us of the baptism of Jestls by John in Jordan, nnd of the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Him in the form.of a dove, We might, with much profit, stop to sneak ot the Jordan divided for the millions of Israel to pass over into the promised land, when the ArIt?type of the same Lord Jesus?stood in the midst on the priests' shoulders till every one had passed over; divided again for Elijah and Elisha, and a third time for Elisha; but hnfh tlw* Arlr r?f Mid (\wannnt ntiri tliu ttripcft who bare it, Elijah ami Rlisha, and all the prophets, as well as all the Bible and the his? tory ontaiued in it, joint us to Him whom, in this lesson, we see returning from Jordan, filled with the Spirit. If the 141h Verse of the chapter was included in our lesson, we. would then say that tho lesson begins and" ends with a record of Jesus return me from certain places filled with the Spirit, first to be tried and then to minister; and if we aro not willing to be tilled with the Spirit for trial, can we expect that Clod will fill us with His spirit for service* 1, 2. "And was led by the spirit into the wilderness, being forty days tempted of tho devil." We have neon the Holy Spirit in^the birth of atfot wor k ingtmraclS^^^m^^II in sel flee, or rising from the dead, it is the Spirit in Hint that does it all. "And 'H those days He did eat nothing; ami when they were ended. He afterward hungered." "fhe forty days' fast reminds us of the fastings of the two men who afterwards appeared with Him on tho Mount of Transfiguration. Of Moses it is written, in reference to both periods of forty davs aud nights when ho was in the mount with (rod, that he did neither cat bread nor drink water (Dent, ix., H, IS), and of Klijnh it is written that he went in the strength of that meal (which the angel had preitared) forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the Mount God (1. Kings xix., 8). There is no doubt more iiu the forty lays' fast of these wonderful three than wo have yet seen or shall see till the kingdom comes; but we shall do well day by day to seo no man save Jesus only (Matt. xvii.. S). :t" "If Thou be the Son of God, command this stone that, it In* made bread." Tho father of lies insinuates that perhaps He is not the Son of (rod, but only a mere man, just a poor carj?enter front Nazareth, making pretensions of being some great one, and that He had better return to His humble home or else give some token of His jtower. It is a poor thing for the Son of God t" be hungry wbtMi It#" rati, bv n word. t\ir?i HioncH into bread. Let Him satisfy His hunger. Does not the render (if be or sho bo a Christian) recognize in this tempter the same one who has often whispered to you: "If you were a child of God. would He let you want for thia or that which you certainly need? Can Ho really love you as you think He does anil deny you the very necessaries of life, or keep" from you this little gratification?" Thus tho tempter of Eve and of Christ still seeks to overcome the children of God by leading them to question the love of God or to doubt that, they nre His children. 4. "It is written that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. This is t he reply of Christ to the tempter. The outward indications were that God hail failed him, but Jesus places the word of God against all other evidences and rests unmoved on what is written. Believing is better than seeing. 5-7. "If Thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be Thine." The statements of these verses that the devil took Him to nu high mountain and shewed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, cannot be understood or explained by us, hut can beieceived, on the authority of the Holy Spirit, who, through the servaut of God, wrote thsnu thiiiRf, belief-od. Tho full power of thiHWII Vpt-arc not familiar with (nor do we want to be), nor hiMJjNM vealc' Jcrr.is elsewhere calls htm the prince of this world, anil 1'aul speaks of him as the prince of the power of the air and tho god of this world, while John, in Revelation, speaks of a time when the devil will give to Antichrist that which in our lesson he offered to Christ; so that his boost in his temptation does not seem to have been altogether a vain one. This world is the Lord's by creation; He gave it to Adam, but Adam, by his sin, gave t he devil a claim to it which he has not failed to make use of. ami it is true to-day that "Tho wholo world lieth in the evil one' (I John v.. 10, R. V ). This statement is true not only of heathendom, hut also of Christendom, and. in some measure, of the Christian ehurch. If the manifest works of the devil indicate his property, then that which he docs not control is a small section of earth and a small number of people. But Daniel saw in vision the kingdom and dominion under the whole heaven given to the Son of Man and to the saints ofthe Most High (Dan. vii.. Id, 14. '27), and this temptation was to obtain by a short cut and apart from suffering that which in due time will be all His, (See Rev xi, 15, IS). 8. "Get thee behind me, Satan; for it . iswritirn libmn wiihv'iif ihni-reH V,' i* :D.'0 successful weapon. The Word of God is more to Jesus t han ail the glory of all the kingdoms of this world, and eagerness to do the will of God crowds out all olse. D-ll. "If Thou be the Son of God cast thyrclf down from hence." The conflict is now in Jerusalem, the Holy Cit)-, and, on a pinnacle of the teninle, anil in presenting this temptation the adversary also seeks to wield the sword of the Spirit, but he did as so many do to-day, quoted only the part of the passage which seemed to suit his purpose, omitting that which would have condemned him. The words quoted are given in the Psalm (Ps. xei., IM.'b as the result of making the Lord, the Mnst lliffll Itnp'k Rpflltm niwl I I <t l.it of T,? do as the devil suggested would surely be n ceasing t<> abide under llic shadow of the Almighty, or to make the Most High one's habitation, and therefore, the conditions being broken, th-> promise would be forfeited.
