Only a few plauts of rhubarb are re- i
quired to furnish enough for a family.
Its early growth may be forced in a
? greenhouse, hothouse or cellar. Sue*. rounding
and covering a few roots out of
doors with fermenting stable manure will
give it an early start, when most of the
covering inay be raked off and the pfante
be further protected from cold by a covering
of rough litter or evergreen branches,
or by boxes or barrels inverted over them.

MULCH roit l'KACU TUKEJJ The
peach tree needs a cfry soil, and J
ro weJl is this known that it is usually j
junNicu un > or graveuy innu. i nis :
exposes it to one danger not often
thought of. This is the deep freezing
which often occurs on such soils when
not covered by snow. While the hulk
of the original forests remained, snow i
was nob drifted by winds, atad lay cvfchly
over the surface. Iu those times peaches
were grotfn in many places whero they i
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 vitality
by depriving the tree of moisture. A.
mulch applied late in fall, or early iu
winter around the trees would remedy
this evil. If put on after the ground is
irozeu, it would also prevent too early
expansion of peach buds, and thus save I
their destruction by late frosts iu spring, j

HINTS ABOUT MlliKIMI.
Never begin milking until you have
first brushed off all the loose hair and
*1 irt from the cow's side and udder.
Always take a pail of tepid water with a [ '
sponge :uul coarse cloth, so that you can \
t lennse the udder if it is soiled and wipe I
it dry before commencing to milk. Be 1
sure your own hands are clean, aud do
not wet the cow's teats with milk. Be ]
very gentle with the cow and accustom
her to the contact of your left arm |
against her leg while milking. A three- I
legged stool is the best thing to sit upon ;
and, It you are quite sure ?>t the >good 1
conduct of your cow, the pail may stand
on something well tinder her. Otherwise
the safest way is to bold it between your
knees, so that you can seize it quickly
and prevent the milk from being spilled i
by her movements. Take hold of the
teats well up under the udder, prcssiug i
the milk downward into the teats. Milk t
as fast as vovi can without-being rqugh .
about it, and you will'get more milk than
you will if you arc slow and tedious. It
is better for a person to milk the same *
cows and not change indiscriminately !
when there are a good many cows and
several milkers. This kind of regularity j
is more agreeable to .the row .than the
surprise of being milked bv-a hcw' hilhd.*
When this becomes necessary the new t
milker should be more sientlu aud care

accustomed to him. ,

* A VARIETY OK CROPS.
Too much stress can scarcely be. laid
upon the importance of raising a variety
of crops, and not hazarding alt upon a
favorite one, which by a failure caused

One of the reasons usually assigned hymnal
, although not a money-making one, i
it is a safe business if properly con- I
ducted. It not .only affords a good living
without the liabilities attending most
business callings, but, by slow accumulations,
will: in- time compare favorably r
with other' ocHiphfiofts that nro eOni- !
inonly deepned more lucrative. .
, In afi sections there should l>c leading
crops, adapted to the soil and climate,
to which more than ordinary attention
may be given, but as a general rule the
fortunes of the season should not be i
staked ou otje.pr two ?Tops. If ivOrn, j
wheat, oafs' afiif potatoes are the chief i
staples there is no 'probability that thVf i'l
season will he so unfavorable'that none h
will succeed. One or more of these may
suffer, while the others do exceedingly j i
wCtt atid thus compensate for a partial '
deficiency in the whole. Wealthy eapi j

FEEDING ron KICK MANURE. !
What the stock eats is of more consequence
as affecting the value of manure
than is the kind of stock to which it is
fed. In many pluces the manure pile is
also no iuconsidcrahlo part of the farmers'
profit in feeding. Of late years, 1
with just enough exceptions to illustrato
the generality of the rule, the manure is
all the profit that tire feeder gets. It behooves
him, therefore, to so feed as to
ninkc the manure pile rich. No subject I
awakens so much interest in the discus- }(
sions at farmers' institutes as how to feed
so as to make the richest fcrtiliz?rl and at
the satne ttxnc make mnnUH'of the best f
quality.' There are some common popu- I
lar misapprehensions on this point, due .
to confounding the feeding value of
various articles with their value pnssing
through the animal and going into the
manure heap. For feeding especially to?
fattening animals, com is very valuable, |
but owing to its deficiency in mineral nnd J
albuminoid nutriments, it does not make
so rich a manure as oats, peas, beans, or
even as wheat hrnn. Iti the tables showing
the commercial value of various ele- (j
mcnts for manures, wheat bran is reckoned C
at about $13 per ton, which is nearly its jj
selling price.
In feeding, especially to growing stock j
and to cows giving milk, some of this
nutrient value will bo used in the animal
economy, but in either case it will
only do, so in the production of what is
of much more value than it could be as
manure. A certain amount of carbonaceous
food, corn for example, can be
\?rotU*iAy mubacLwith whaat bvuuua laetl
for cows and young stock. It will innkc
richer milk and keep the cow in better
condition. A smaller amount of corn
meal with bran will keep the youug stock
in better condition, especially In cold
weather, and make them able to cat
more and assimilate more of the bran.
Clover hay is another very valuable
feed for making rich manure. It is the
farmer's cheapest fertilizer, cspeccially
when grown upon the farm where it is
fed. What it contains of starch and carbon
is mainlv drawn from the nir. Its
mineral elements come mainly from the
subsoil, where roots of other plants cannot
reach them. There is pood reason to
believe that the shade of a growing
clover crop, combined with the action of
the roots in the soil, helps to decompose,
under certain circumstances, the air in I
the soil, and make some of its nitrogen ,
available as a plant food. Good clover
has in some seasons been grown on very
tWq -by the ?N of gypaium alone. 4 )
nM. greatest difficulty 011 such lands is
to get a catch. This secured and a light
mineral dressing added, the clover will
do'tiic rest. While clover alone will not
rcstorcjmiperal fertility to soils that lack
ft," with a little phosphate of lime, and
on sandy soils potash, it will do more to
maintain fertility than any other means,
especially if it is fed out upon the farm
where'ft is grown, as it always should be.

ory contained in it, joint us to Him whom,
n this lesson, we see returning from Jordan,
died with the Spirit. If the 14th verse of
he chapter was included in our lesson, we
could then say that the lesson begins ana
fids with a record of Jesus returning from
ertaiu places filled with the Spirit, -first to
?e tried and then to minister; and if we are
lot willing to be filled with the Spirit for
rial, can we expect that God will fill us with
lis spirit for service*
1, 2. "And was led by the spirit into the
vildemess, being forty days tempted ofjthn
ice, or rising from the dtad, it is the.
n Him that does it all,
"Anif in those days He did eat nothing:
md when they were ended. He afterward
inngcred." T'he forty days' fast reminds us
>f the fastings of the two men who nftcrvards
anoeared with Him on tho Mount of
["ransflguratiou. Of Moses it is written, in
eferenco to both periods of forty davs and
lights when ho was in the mount with God,
hat he did neither cat. bread nor drink
rater (Deut. ix., <*, 18), and of Elijah it is
vritten that ho went in the strength of that
neal (which the angel had prepared) forty
lays and forty nights unto Horeo the Mount
God (I. Kings xix? 8). There is no doubt
iiore in the forty days' fast of these wonlerful
throe than wo have yet seen or shall
ee till the kingdom comes; but wo shall do
veil day by day to see no man save Jesus
>nly (Matt, xvii., 8).
J. "If Thou be the Ron of God, command
his stone that it lie made bread." The faher
of lies insinuates that perhaps He is not
lie Son of God, but only a mere man, just a
ioor carjienter from Nazareth, making preensions
of being some great one, and that
Be had bettor ret urn to His humble home or

>oor tiling for the Ron of God be hungry
vhen he can, by a word, turn stoaw into
nread. Let Him satisfy His hunger. Does
lot the reader (if he or sho be a Christian)
eoognize in this tempter the same one who
las often whispered to you: "If you were a
diild of God. would He let you want for this
lr that which you certainly need? Can He
eally love you as you think He does and
leny you the very necessaries of life, or keep"
from you this little gratification?" Thus tho
tempter of Eve and of Christ still seeks to
ivoreome the children of God by leading
hem to question the love of God or to doubt
hat they are His children.
4. "It."is written that man shall not live by
ireail alone, but by every word of God.
rhis is the reply of Christ to the tempter.
Die outward indications were that God had
railed him, but Jesus places the word of God
igainst all other evidences and rests unnovcd
on what is written. Believing is bet:er
than seeing.
V7. "If Thou therefore wilt worship me,
ill shall be Thine." The statements of these

it this world, and Paul speaks of him as the
prince of the power of the air and tho god of
this world, while John, in Revelation, speaks
af a time when the devil will give to Antichrist
that which in our lesson he offered to
Christ; so that his boast in his temptation
does not seem to have been altogether a vain
ane. This world is the Lord's by creation; He
gave it to Adam, but Adam, by his sin, gave
the devil a claim to it which he has not failed to
make use of, and it is true to-day that "The
whole world lieth in the evil one"' (I John v..
10, R. V.), This statement is true not only of
heathendom, but also of Christendom, and,
in some measure, of tho Christiau church. 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 of the Most High (Dan. vii.. 13, 14,
i7), and this temptation was to obtain hv a
ihort cut and apart from suffering that which
in due time will be all His. (See Rev. xi ,
15, 18).
8. "Get thee behind me, Satan: foritiswrit

if this world, and eagerness to do the will of
[lod crowds out all olse.
9-11. "If Thou be the Son of God cast thy>clf
down from hence." The conflict is now
in Jerusalem, the Holy City, and, on a pinnacle
of the temple, and in presenting this
temptation the adversary also seeks to wield
the sword of the Spirit, but he did as so many
lo to-day, quoted only the part of the passage
which seemed to suit his purpose, omitting
bhat which would have condemned him. The
words quoted are given in the Psalm (Ps. xci.,
MU) as the result of making the Lord, tho
Most High, one's Refuge and Habitation. To
lo as the devil suggested would surely be a
easing to abide under the shadow of the Alnifjhty,
or to make the Most High one's habiation,
and therefore, the conditions being
jroken, the promise would be forfeited.
\biding in Christ and in the love of God wo
leed fear no evil, but are perfectly safe in
lis keeping.

rim, It is said, Thou shall not tempt the
^ord thy God." Again the sword of the

'Ye shall "dil!gWtiy''!eey?1!!FeWmT<aiidnents

(ui)ty of tempting the Txird, let us keep His
omnia ndments and do right in His sight,
listening to any ot ler voice but His, even to
he voice of the best of men, we are apt to lie
ed astray.
13. "And when the devil had ended all the
emptation, he departed from Him for a senon.
Matthew and Mark add that angels
arno and ministered unto Him. Although
10 human eyes witnessed this conflict, who

his aid the powers of the magic lan- 0
tern. He throw on a screen a magni- o
fied picture of a drop of water, in d
which wriggled anirnalculio of a par- J
ticularly lively nature. To this pict- _
ure of active life succeeded tho gloomy a
view of a diop of water with spirit a
added, aud behold the poor animalculan
all curl up and die. "Lor!" said
an old man in the audience, "be 'e 0
sure, mister, I sha'n't never drink a C
drop of water ajier seeing that, unless
I qualifies it with lots o' spirits to kill '
the beasties." The lecturer's satisfaction
