*jf HERD TEAS FREE FROM WEEVIL.
For a long time it was thought that
Only peas grown in Canada could be grown
free from weevil. But in various parts of
the States where pens have not been much
I;'." grown, the insect has died out, and until
it multiplies, peas exempt from its attacks
may be expected. The crop, if it can be
: got free from weevi), is usually a profitable
one.

/ BlflDISU A LOAD OF HAY.
If hay or straw is to be drawn any dis*
tance over hard roads, it is important to
bind it firmly. A windlass or tackle
fastened to the wagon-rack will make this
binding much more easy, and also secure
h firmer pressure on the binder than could
otherwise be had. lruless firmly pressed
down, the binder, when jolted over rough
roads, soon gets out of place and does as
inuch harm as good.
j' I'NTHRIFTY HOGS. .
It is heat 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 tbey are young, and
they hardly recover from it. But if kept
by themselves aud fed carefully on sweet
food in moderation they will do far better
aud generally get strong and make a
j i i mi mil yitli If*ehe pig is scurfy it
should be well scrubbed with carbolic
soap and/given some sulphur in the
food.
J * FRKSH BONES FOR FOWLS.
It is comparatively easy to procure of
butchers the bony pieces of animals they
slaughter, and which arc worth more even
than entire meat to make fowls lay. Break
the bones up with n hammer, after boil- i
ing them so as to make them softer. It I
does not matter if some of the pieces arc
as large as a chestnut. The gizzard will j
quickly grind them finer if the fowls are
supplied with gravel. It is the bone material
that is necessary in making both
eggs and shell. Fowls thus fed will
make a much more valuable manure than
they will fed on any kind of grain.
./ MEAT FOB LAYING HENS.
!
There is no doubt that fresh meat is
excellent to make hens lay. It contains
much of the material of which the egg is
composed, and with ground bone for
making the shell constitutes a perfect egg
food. But it is too heating for exclusive
feeding, and unless mixed with grain, it
will make the eggs strong, like those of
ducks and waterfowl. It is possible, l>y
giving the hens wheat, oats and buckwheat,
with plenty of gravel aud lime, j
to keep hens in laying condition with*
little and perhaps even with no meat ex- ,
cept insects they pick up in their range. I

in their younger years is preferable: to
permitting the branches to become

nma pRicwD sanbs,
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.
There are many instances, however,where
farmers ate paying high prices from the
mistaken idea that they are getting a
better quality for their purpose, This is
particularly true in fOgard to seed-potatoes,
an article which the farmer thinks
necessary to "change" occasionally, if
not annually, because of the liability of
the "stock running out." This is a
costly error that ao farmer should com
mit. The facts in tho case arc, that if
the farmer wisely selects from his own
stock for seed purposes, it will improve
rather than degenerate. Let him first
find out what varieties do best with hiin
- -and some varieties do far better in a
given soil and situation than others.
From these seed-potatoes should be
selected before any are sold or consumed.
Every farmer has noticed that some hills
yield more than others; that some vines
| arc stronger, more branching; are short
' and stocky. From these the best should
be saved for seed, and the best are those
of medium to large 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 tho type.? American

There are so many different plans of
hog-houses that any one which is presented
to farmers who wish to build, is
sure to find sogMi dM who thinks it just
meets his wal W The writer saw a house
built somethinglikc the one described in
this article years ago, and for economy
of space and general usefulness it is seldom
improved upon.
It is not necessary, and indeed is often
unprofitable, to construct large, expensive
houses. A dry, warm shelter JUfT

all that is needed. , *'
This house is twenty feet wide by
twenty-five feet lowg, making room for
eight pens s*< feet wide by eight feet

Counterfeit Coffee.
There are two kinds of bogus coffee,
an imitation beau and the ground article.
The beau is the most difficult to produce,
and it, is ouly recently that actual success
in this direction has been attained. The
bogus bean must not only look like the
genuine berry when raw but it should be
c apable of taking a proper color when
roasted. A very good specimen is now
manufactured in Philadelphia and Trenton,
being composed of rye flour, glucose
and water^ The soft " paste is then
moulded and carefully dried. To the eye
ot an expert tne presence 01 tms imitation
is easy of detection, and it cannot bo
used to any great extent among wholesalers.
?
But when rolTec goes to the retailer
adulteration begins. (Sometime-) I he retailer
is deceived, but nine times out of
ten he is the one who introduces adul- j
teration. The ground article is very
! easily produced, for then it isonlyncces'
snry to give the material a proper color
and infusing an aroma by strong decori
tions of colfeo essence. When mixed
with real coffee even the expert eye and
I tongue may be deceived, while to the or|
dinary consumer it seems to be the genu:
ine product.
Bogus coffee beans have only a slight
1 resemblance to the natural berry, for
| though they possess proper form the ciJ
eatricc on the inner face is too smooth.
, THcii again the gray color of the raw bean
j is not quite up to the mark, but when
! these manufactured beans are roasted with
j five per cent, of genuine coffee they find
a ready sale. These bogus beans can be
made af a cost of $.'10 per 1000 pounds,

And Hun again by the sea of Galilee, or, as
j it is in our lesson, the lake of Gennesaret,
' 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
is about thirteen miles Ions and six broad,
i and in His day there are said to have been no
lees than nine cities on its shores. It is 000
feet below tho Mediterranean ,r its Waters afto
< clear and sweet, and are said to abound in
fish now as in the days of Jesus. The Jordan
I flows into it, through it, and out of It. See
Jeeus 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 Ho upholdeth all by the
word of His power (Col. 1., 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, bad seen His miracles and
heard His words, yet had not wholly left
their calling to follow Him. How many
Christians there are now who are truly the
Lord's have heard gladly His word, seen something
y?* while the multitudes
aadj^^PBg for the Word a< God,
they are wBBflg neU thathave taken nothU.
"He sat down and taught the people out
of the boat." Havincr stenned into Rimon's
boat, He meekly asksliim 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 deep and let down your nets for a
draught." Simon having kindly gWen 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
and Master is about to give special attention
to Simon's work.
5. "Master, we hwve toited all the night
and have taken nothing." So replied Simon,
confessing^/Weir unavailing toil and their
presentjweed. So also after the resurrection,
aftep*night of fruitless toil, in reply to the
.^Itrestion 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. "Nevertheless, at Thy
word I will let down the net." Jesus is now
the Captain, and they are simply obeying
orders; He is responsible for results.
0. "And when they had this done, they inclosed
a groat multitude of fishes, and their
nets brake." 'Whether it be a great fish to
swallow Jonah, or a smaller fish to bring a
piece of money, or multitudes of Ilsh to fill
these nets, all are obedient to Him who
created them, and who also created Adam
and said unto Him, "Have dominion over
the fish 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 Hijn as the fishes
and birds and beasts. Let us yield all to
Him, for only in His sorvice is thero rest.
7. "They came and filled 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 titan he could manage, he called his
p irtners and they found fish enough to fill
both the boats to overflowing. Our Lord
Jesus loves to have empty vessels, and not a
few, that He may fill them. When the woman
with the pot of oil began to pour into the
empty vessels the oil kept coming till every
vessel was filled. When Jesus f?L the thousands

8. "Depart from me for 1 am a sinful man,
O Lord." This is the language of Simon Peter,
as seeing this groat miracle he realizes somewhat
in whose presence he stands, and falls
at Jesus's knees with these words. This is
part of the emptying process; a deep conviction
of sin as we see ourselves in God's
sight*
9. "For he was astonished, end all that
were with him." 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 J" We
put forth our best efforts in most approved
fashion, and labor unweoryingly for the salvation
of souls and fertbe quickening of believers,
but how often we have to confess as
to the result, "nothing." In some unlikely
way, and perhaps through some weak but
empty vessel, the Spirit of God works, and
we all stand astonished. Our wisdom is confounded.

Then it is that we hoar His "Fear
not," or when we, all unworthy, are willing
to be vessels for His service (Dan. x., 12, 19;
Rev. i., 17; Luke 1., 13,30). It is only tho
willful and rebellious who have cause to
fear, or the proud and hard of heart, for
they sha'l be broken and brought down, and
inado to know that tue Most High doeth
according to His will both in heaven and on
earth. And those that walk in pride He is

"From henceforth thou shalt catch men,"
or, as in Matt, iv., 19: "Follow me and I will
make jou fishers of men." Here we see the
spirit of prophecy most marked; listen to
Jeremiah (xvi., IB): "Behold. I will scud for
many fishers, saith the Lord, and thoy shall
fisli them." And again, to Ezekiel (xlvii., 10):
"The fishers shall stand upon it, from Engedi
even unto EiMglaim/' Each passage refers
to the KioPMPHRrael In itn glorious future.
If we would hasten that kingdom, we
must follow Jesus, that He may mnke us
skillful and successful fishers of men from
among all nations, that so His marriage day
may he hastened, and the time of His return
for Israel's restoration.
It. "And when they had brought their
ships to land, they forsook all, and followed
Him." "If any man will come after Ma, let
him deny himself, and take up bis croes, and
follow Me." "Whosoever he be of you that
forsaketh not all that he liatb, he cannot be
My disciple" (Matt, xvi., 34; Luke xiv. 3b).
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. He told them of the throne of Hts
glory and the thrones that awaited thetn.
When Paul raw His glory, lie was able to

seeing Him, thought nothing of being stoned
to death. Let us only get our eyes upon the
Glory of His Kingdom and the Tbroucs which
await the overcomers, and we shall have no
heart for aught else but to follow Him, and
for His sake be made oil things to all men,
that we may by all means save some (Matt.

That this House, having regard to the

liquor traffic among uncivilised races, as well
as the injury it inflicts on the legitimate

a "nickel-in-the-slot" e^pJtMiUia whMt lie
says in in use in Cincinnati: ^ -
'This infernal machine b located upon
some thoroughfare, where children pass to

the inscription, iu large and distinct characters:
'Put Two Nickels in the Slot, and Get
a Bottle of Whisky.' The Cincinnati police
authorities have unearthed this conspiracy
against our homes, and it is to be hoped that
swift and heavy retribution will overtake
these human ghouls. When the aforesaid
nickels are dropj>ed in the slot, a small bottle
of whisky, containing atK>ut a gill, falls Into
the bands of the expectant children, who are
the chief victims of this sort of traffic.
"When tho saloon ista are confronted with
tho facts, they effect an injured air of innoccncy
and claim protection, with braien
effrontery, for the so-called freedom of a free
land. 'Ineso machines are quite plentiful
