Hut in various parts of the States where peas have not been much grown, the insect has died out, and until it multiplies, peas exempt from its attacks may be expected. The crop, if it can bo got free from weevil, is usuull} a profitable one. / niNDIKO A LOAD OF HAY. ir hay or straw is to he drawn any distance over hard roads, it is important to hind it firmly.

It is best to put the weakling pigs by themselves to avoid the hustling around which they get from the strong ones. The most frequent cause of poor pigs is overfeeding when they are young, and they hardly recover from it.

It is comparatively easy to procure of butchers the bony pieces of animals they slaughter, and which are worth more even i than entire meat to make fowls lay. Break the bones up with a hammer, after boiling them so as to make them softer. It does not matter if some of the pieces arc as large as a chestnut. The gizzard will quickly grind them finer if the fowls are ' supplied with gravel. It is the bone ma- i 1 ferial that is necessary in making both eggs and shell. Fowls thus fed will ' make a much more valuable manure than i ! they will fed on any kind of graiu. / MEAT KOll LAYING HENS. j There is no doubt t hut fresh ment is ( excellent to make hens lay. It contains j much of the material of which the egg is , composed, and with ground bone for t making the shell constitutes a perfect egg , food. But it is too heating for exclusive f feeding, and unless mixed with grain, it j will make the eggs strong, like those of v docks and waterfowl. It is possible, by t giving the hens wheat, oats and buck- j wheat, with plenty of gravel and lime, ^ to keep hens in laying condition with*! little and perhaps even with no meat ex- j, cept insects they pick up in their range, i f !? / VNDERGROUND STABLES.

A race of rows that has been bred to high feeding and an excessive tisposition to'mgcst ami asMVnllate' food rien in fat, which is a physiological fune- ' tiou that may be perpetuated and even inc-nrtised by breeding, may bo made i much more profitable than the native rows which have never been cultivated in .tins way. Cross-breeding of the two races may develop this faculty in the progeny; hence the frequent recommendation made to dairymen to gra !e up their herds by the use of pure bred bulls of good family is worthy of adoption. No other breeds than the Jersey, the j Ayrshire, or the Dutch have been so well bred "in this diiertion, and, so far as p. j perimcnt has proved, none has excelled ) {^Jersey in thiMBspect, and the Dutch, (or Ho-enlled flBbtein. or HolsteinKri4ao) hue ^iin the Jersey. A few native cows hare exhibited this peculi- i arity, and when any of these are found with this valuable proclivity they would pay well for breeding to a pure Jersey t>ull for the production of butter cows. ?Jietc York Titnta. ? * ItlOH-PRICKD SBt*t)9. As a rule high-priced seeds are the cheapest, because more care has been taken in selection of stocks to produce them, which incurs additional expense, j There are many instances, however,where farmers are paying high prices from the ! mistaken idea that they are getting a | better quality for their pw^osC. This is particularly true in fttg i to sced-pota- i toes, an article which the farmer thinks necessary to "change" occasionally, if ' not ummally, because of the liability of the "stock running out." This is a costly error that to farmer should com- j mit. The facts in the case arc, that if , the farmer wisely selects from his own I stock for seed purposes, it will improve ( rather than degenerate. Let him first find out what varieties do best with him -and some varieties do far better iu a given soil and situation than others. From these; seed-potatoes should be selected before any arc sold or consumed. Every farmer has noticed that some hills yield more than others; that some vines are stronger, more branching; are short and stocky. From these the best should be saved for seed, and the best are those of medium to laege size, of uniform shape, and smooth, and where there arc the most in a hill. Follow this practice up, and in a few years there will be a marked improvement in the type.?American A'jricult urfct. IIOG-HOUSES.

We now And Hun again by the sea of Galilee, or, as It is in our lesson, the lake of Genneearet, and probably at or near Capernaum, where Peter lived. Most of our Lord's public life was spent in the neighborhood of this sea, which was also called the sea of Tiberias. It j is about thirteen miles long and six broad, | and in His day there are said to have been no lees than nine cities on its shores. It is 800 feet below the MediterraneanJ its waters are clear and sweet, and are said to abound in ttsh now as in the days of Jesus. The Jordan flows into it, through it, and out of it. See Jesus standing on the shore, He created this sea and everything living in it, the river that flows through it and the hills that surround it; by Him and for Him were all things made, and He upholdeth all by the word of His power (Col. i., 16; Heb. i., 8). 2. "And saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets." Two or three of these fishermen had already been with Jesus some time, had seen His miracles and heard His words, yet had not wholly left their callinc to follow Him. How manv i Christians there are now who aro truly the ' Lord's have heard gladly His word, seen some- j thing of HiuigKcr, and vet while the multitudes for the word ut ..God, L they aremHRBg neU that have taken noth- i Jug. J. ''He sat down aud taught the people out of the boat." Having stepped into Simon's boat, He meekly asks him to push out a little from the land, and sitting down, He from the boat teaches the people as they stand, an eagerly attentive crowd, upon the shore. 4. "He said unto Simon, Launch out into the dcop and let down your nets for a draught." Simon having kindly given the use of his boat, Jesus will now reward him for it and teach him at the same time many things. Simon had for a little season cheerfully given himself and his boat to the Master | for His work, and now this gracious Lord i and Master is about to give special attention to Simon's work. 5. "Master, wo have toiled all the night and have taken nothing." So replied Simon, confessing their unavailing toil and their | present need. So also after the resurrection, after a night of fruitless toil, in reply to the question of Jesus: "Children, have ye any meat?" They answered, No (John xxi., 6). It is a good thing to find out that all our efforts are unavailing. There were plenty of fish in the sea aud they were no mean fishermen, but "toiled and taken nothing" describes_the result of their labor. "Neverthc'.es-, ni. iby word I will let down the net." Jesus is now the Captain, and they are simply obeying orders; He is responsible for results. 6. "And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their nebs brake." W hethor it be a great fish to swallow Jonah, or a smaller fish to bring a piece of money, or multitudes of fish to till these nets, all aro obedient to Him who created them, and who also created Adam and said unto Him, "Have dominion over he tisli of the sea." The one before us is none other that the last Adam, who shall remove the curse and restore the dominion. Let us be as obedient to Him as the fishes and birds and beasts. Let us yield all to Him, for only in His sorvice is there rest. 7. "They came and tilled both the ships, so that they began to sink." We are told in the tenth verse that James and John were partners with Simon, and finding that he had more fish t inn he could manage, he called iiis pirtuers and they found fish enough to fill both the boats to overflowing. Our Lord Jesus loves to have empty vessels, and not a tew, that tie may nil thenj. When the woman | with the pot of oil begun to pour into the empty vessels the oil kept coining till every vessel was filled. When Jesus fed the thousands they did nil eat uud were filled. Both tabernacle and tenhple when finished were llllwl with UnjWejTr" ntrmw.w? ... u^um and again the disciples were filled'with the Holy Spirit. In Him dwelleth ull tWe fullness of the Godhead bodily; and His own words to us are: "Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled." 8. "Depart from me for I am a sinful man, O Lord." This is the language of Simon Peter, as seeing this great miracle he realizes somewhat in whose presence he stands, and falls at Jesus's knees with these words. This is part of th3 emptying process; a deep conviction of sin as we see ourselves in God's sight. 9. "For he was astonished, and all that were with liim." The Revised Version says that he was amazed. So Saul of Tarsus, when convinced of his sin on the way to Damascus, "trembling and astonished," said, "Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" We put forth our best efforts in most approved fashion, and labor unwearyingly for the salvation of souls and fer the quickening of believers, but how often we have to confess as to the result, "nothing." In some unlikely way, and perhaps through some waak but empty vessel, the Spirit of God works, and we all staud astonished. Our wisdom is confounded, our plans upset, and it becomes gloriously manifest that this is the band of od. 10. "And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not." When convicted of sin we fall at Jesus's feet in our helplessness and unworthiness. Then it is that wo hoar His "Fear not," or when we, all unworthy, are willing to be ve-sels lor His service (I)an. x., 12, 19; Rev. i., 17; Luke i., 13,30). It is only the willful mid rebellious who have cause to fear, or the proud and hard of heart, for they shaU be broken and brought down, and made to know that t:?o Most High aoeth according to His will both in heaven and on earth, and those that walk in pride He is ablo to abase (Dan. iv). But from the first "Fear not" in the Bible (Gen. xv., 1) down to the last in Revelation there is no place where the penitent and broken in heart are taught to tea)-. All is for tfcem comfort, and peace, and joy, and strength, ana prosperity in the Lord. "b rom henceforth thou shalt catch men," or, as in Matt, iv., 19: "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." Hero we see the "f npftnhppv most marked: listen to Jeremiah (xvi,, 1H): "Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them.'' And again, to Ezekiel (xlvii., 10): "The fishers shall stand upon it, from Engedi even unto La-ezhmii, Each passage refers to the King^^W^Wfcrael In its glorious future. ff wo would hasten that kingdom, wo must follow Jesus, that He may innUo us skillful and successful fishers of men from among all nations, that so His marriage day may l?e hastened, and the time of His return for Israel's restoration. 11. "And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed Ilim." "If any man will come after Me, let bim deny himself, and take up his cross, and f follow Me." "Whosoever he he of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot he My disciple" (Matt, xvi., 24; Luke xiv., 38). Jesus does not ask us to drop what we have without showing us something better. When Peter one day spoke of their giving upall for Him, Ho told thein of the throne of His glory and tho thrones that awaited thein. When Paul saw His glory, he wns able to :ount all earthly glory hut dross. Stephen, seeing Him, thought nothing of K'ing stoned to death. Let us only get our eyes upon the Glory of His Kingdom and the Thrones which await the ovorooniers. and we shall have no heart for aught else but to follow Him, and for llis sake be made all things to all men, that we may by all means save some (Matt, xix., 21; Jonn xii., 20; xxi., 19-22; I Cor. ix., 22).?Leaton Helper.
