Orpah."

but liuth clave tcnto her.'"?Kutli i.,

Moab was a heathen land. Naomi is about
to leave it and go into tlio land of Bethlehem.
Sho lias two daughters-in-law, Ruth
and Orpah, who conclude to go with her.
Naomi tells them they had better not leave
the'r native laud and undertake the hardship
of the journey, but they will not be persuaded.
They all three start out on their
journey. After awhile Naomi, although she
highly prized the company of lier two daughters-in-law,
attempted again to persuade
them to go back because of the hardship and
self denial through which they wouid bo
obliged to go. Ruth responds iu the words
from which I once discoursed to you:
"Lntreat me not to leave thee,
nor to return Irora following after
thee, for where thou goest I will go, and
where thou lodgest I will lodge; thy pcoplo
Khali be my people, and thy God my God,
where thou" diest will I die and there will I
bo buried; the Lord do so to me and more
also if aught but death part thee and me."
Not so with her sister Orpah. Her determination
had already been shaken. The
length and peril of the journey began to
appall her, and sho had worshiped the gods
of Moab so -long that it was nard to give
them up. From that point Orpah turne4
back, the parting being described in the
words of my text: And they lifted up their
voice and wept again and Orpah kissod her
mother-in-law, but Ruth clave unto her.
Learn from this story of Orpah that some
of those who do not leave the Moab of their
iniquities are persons of fine susceptibility.
It was compassion for Naomi, in her widow-'
hood and sorrow, that led Orpah to start
with her toward Bethlehem. It was not because
of any lack of affection for her that
she turned back. We know this from the
grief exhibited at parting. I do not know
but that she had as much warmth and ardor
of nature as Ruth, but she lacked the courage
and persistence of her sister. That there
are many with as fine susceptibility as Or{>ah
who will not take up their cros3 and folow
Christ is a truth which needs but little
demonstration. Many of those who have become
the followers of Jesus have but very
little natural impressibility. Grace often
takes hold of the hardest heart and the most
unlovely character and transforms it. It is
a hammer that breaks rocks. In this Christ
often shows His power. It wants but little
generalship to conqner a flat country, but

manned and ready for raking cannonade.
Tho great captain of our salvation has
forced his way into many an armed castle.
I doubt not that Christ could have found
many a fisherman naturally more noble
hearted than Simon Peter, but there was no
ono by whose conversion He could more
gloriously have magnified His grace. The
conversion of a score of Johns would not
have illustrated the power of the Holy Ghost
as much as tho conversion of ono Peter. It
would have been easier to drive twenty
lambs like John into the fold than to tame one
lion like Peter. God has often made some
of His most efficient servants out of men
naturally unimpressionable. As men take
stiff and unwieldly timbers, and under hu?;o
handed machinery bend them into tho hulk
of great ships, thus God has often shaped and
bent iuto His service the most unwieldly na
tures, while thoso naturally impressionable
are still iu their unchanged state.
Ob. how many. Who Orpah, have warm affections
and yet never become Christians!
Like Orpah, thoy know how to weep, but
they do not know how to pray. Their fineness
of feeling leads them into the friendships
of the world, but not into communion with
God. They can love everybody but Him,
who is altogether lovelv. All other sorrow
rends their heart, but they are untouched by
the woes of a dying Christ. Good news fills
them with excitement, but the glad tiding3
of great joy mid salvation stir not their soul.
Anxious to do what is right, yet thoy rob
God. Grateful for the slightest favors, they
make no return to Him who wrung out the
last drop of blood from His heart to deliver
them from going down to the pit. They
would weep at the door of a prlsoa at the
sight of a wicked captive in chains, but have
no compassion for their own souls, over
which Satan, like a grim jailer, holds the
lock and key. When repulsive, grasping,
unsympathetic natures resist the story of a
Saviour's love it does not excite our surprise,
but it is among the greatest of wonders that
so many who exhibit Orpah's susceptibility
also exhibit Orpah's impenitency.
We are not surprised that there is barrenness
in a desert, but a strange thing is it that
sometimes the Rose of Sharon will not grow
in a garden. On a summer morning we aro
not surprised to find a rock without any dew
on it, but if going among a flock of lilies wo
saw in them no glittering drops we would
say; "What foul sprite has been robbing
these vases?" We are not surprised that

strange that the young roan Jesus loved for
His sweetness of temper should not have
loved his Redeemer. Hard-hearted Felix
trembled, proud Nebuchadnezzar repented,
and cruel Manasseh turned unto the Lord;
but many a nature, affectionate and gentle,
has fought successfully against divine influences.
Many a dove has refused to come in
the window of the arlr, although finding no
rest for the solo of her foot.
Again, the history of Orpah impresses upon
me the truth that there are many who make
a good starting, but arter awhile change
their minds ana turn back. When these
three mourners start from their home in
Moab there is as much probability that
Orpah will reach Bethlehem as that her sister
Ruth and her mother-in-law Naomi will
arrive there. But while these continue in
the journey they commenced, Orpah after

i- the history ot many a soul. Perhaps it was
(hiring a revival of rel:gion tliey resolved
upon a Christian life and made preparations
to leave Moab. Before that they were indifferent
to the sanctuary; churches were necessary
evils. The minister almost always
preached poor sermons, because they had not
the heart to hear them. They thought the
bread was not good because their appetite
was poor. Religion did very well for invalids
and the aged, but they had no desire for
it.
Suddenly a change came upon their soul.
They found that something must be done.
Every night there was a thorn in their pillow.
" There was gall in their wine. They
found that their pleasures were only false
lights of a swamp that rise out of decay and
death. Losing their self-control they were
startled by their own prayer: "God be
merciful to me a sinner." They did not suspect
it, but the Holy Ghost was in their soul.
Without thinking what they were doing
they trushed the dust off the family Bible.
The ground did not feel as firm under them,
norma ine an seem us urignt. -lueyiriea
to dam back tho Good of their emotions, but
the attempt failed, and they confessed their
anguish of soul before they meant to. Tho
secret *.vas out! They wanted to know what
tl*?v must do to be saved.
"With Ruth anl Naomi weeping Orpah
started for tho land of Bethlehem. They
longed for the Sabbath to como. Straight
as an arrow to the mark the sermon struck
them. They thought the minister must havo
heard of their case and was preaching right
at them. They thought the sermon was very
short, nor did they once coil themselves up
in their pew with their eye3 shut and head
averted with an air of unmoved dignity.
They began to pray with an earnestness that
astonished themselves and astonished others.
Shoving the plane, or writing up accounts,
or walking the streets when you might have
thought their mind entirely upon the world,
they were saying within themselves: "Oh,
that I were a Christian I" Orpah is fully
started on the road to Bothlohem. Christian
friends observing the religious anxiety of the
awakened soul say: "He must certainly- ba
n Christian. There is another soldier in
Christ's ranks, another sick ono has been
cured of the leprosy." The observers turn
their attention another way; they say: "Orvah
is safe enough, she has gone to Bethlehem."
Alas! alas! Starting out for heaven is n
very different thing from arriving there.
Remember Lot's wife. Sho looked back" *
with longing to the place from which she
came, and was destroyed. Half way between
So Join and the citv of refuge that
strange storm comes upon her, and its salt
and brimstone gather on her garments until
they are so stiffened sho cannot proceed,
r.or can she lie down because of this dreadful
wrapping around her garments and
limbs, and long after her life has gone she
still stands there, so covered up by the
strange storm that she is called a pillar of
salt, as some sailor on ship's dock ia the
wintry tempest stands covered with a mail
of ice. Ten thousand times ten thousand
men have been destroyed half way between
Sodom and the city of refuse. Orpak might
as well never have started us afterward to
turn back. Yet multitudes havo walked in
her footsteps. Go among those the least interested
in sacred tilings, and you will find
that they were once out of the laud of Moab.
Every one of them prayed right heartily and
studied his Biblo and frequented the sanctuary,
but Lot's wife looked back wistfully
to Sodom, and Orpah retreated from the
company of Ruth and Naomi. It is an impressive"
thought that after Orpah had gone
so far as actually to look over into the land
of Bethlehem she turned back and died iu
Moab.
Again, let our subject impress upon us the
trutn that thoso who havo once felt it their
duty to leave their natural state cannot givo
up their duty and go back to hardness of
heart without a stniggle. After Orpah had
thoroughly made up her mind to go back to
the place from which she started sho went
through tho sad scene of parting with Ruth
and Naomi. My text says: "They lifted up
their voice and wept." Ah, my hearer, it
requires more decision and perseverance to
v o -r* r? vr fr/nn l.'inwilnm nf finrl t'lfl 11 trt
enter it. Although she <iid not know it,
Orpah passed through a greater strugglo in
turning back into the land of Moab than
would nave been necessary to tak3 her clear
through to Bethlehem. Suppose you that
those persons who have remained in their
evil ways have had no struggle? Why, they
have been obliged to fight every inch of their
way.
The road to death is not such easy traveling
as some ministers have been accustomed
to describe it. From beginning to end it is
fighting against the sharp sword of ti e
Spirit. It is climbing over tho cross. It is
wading through the deep blood of tho Son of
God. It is scaling mountains of privilege.
It is wading through lakes of sorrow. It is
breaking over communion tables and baptismal
fonts and pulpits and Bibles. It Is
wedging one's self through between pious
kindred who stand before and press us back
and hold on to us by their prayers even after
wo have passed them in our headlong downward
career. No man ought to think of undertaking
to go back into Moab after having
come within sight of Bethlehem unless he
have a heart that cannot be made to quake,
cud a sure foot that will not slip among infinite
perils, and an arm that can drive back
tho .Son of God, who stands in the centre of
the broad road spreading out His arms and
shouting into the ear of the thoughtless pilgrim,
"Stop! stop!"
iv o talk about taking up the cross and
following Jesus, but that cross is not half so
heavy as tho burden which the sinner carries.
It is a very solemn thing to be a Christian,
but it is a more solemn thing not to be
a Christian. There are multitudes who,
afraid of the self denials of the Christian,
rush iuto the harder self denials of tho unbeliever.
No yoke but Christ's, however tight
and galling! Orpah goes back to her idola
tries, but stie returns weeping, n:rl nil wno
follow her will fiud the same sorrows. Just
in proportion as Gospel advantages have
been numerous will be the disturbance of the
bcart that will not come to Christ.
The Bible says in regard to the place where
Christ was buried: "In the midst of th9 garden
there was asepulchcr;" and in tho midst
of the most flowery enjoyments of tho unpardoned
there is a chilliness of death. Although
they may pull out the arrows that
strike their soul from tho Almighty's quiver,
:bere remain a sting and a smarting, it men
nrrench themselves away from Christ they
will bear the mark of His hand by which Ho
would have rescued them. Tho pleasures of
the world may give temporary re ief from
the upbraidings of conscience, but are like
stupefying drugs that dull the pain only
temporarily. Ahab has a great kingdom,
and you would think he
eugbt to be happy with his courtiers
and chariots and palaces, 3'ot he goe3 to be 1
sick because Nabotii will not sell him his
vineyard. Haman is prime minister of tho
greatest nation in the world, and yetono
poor mm who will uot bow the head makes
him utterly miserable. Herod monopolizes
the most of the world's honor, and yet is
thrown into a rage because they say a little
child is born in Bethlehem who may after
awhile dispute his authority. Byron conquered
the world with his pen, anl" yet said
that he felt more unhappines3 from the
criticism of the most illiterate reader than
he experienced p.'ensure from tho praise of
all the talented.
In the last century in England live 1 the
immortal Shenstone. Portions of his life
were given to the writing of poetry, but this
was not evidently the Held for wmcn nature
had equipped him. His name will never be
forgotten, because of the home which he
adorned and beautified until there probably
never has been so bright a spot since the
(iardeii of Eieu as what bo loved to call
"The Leasoves." Iu addition to the marvels
which nature had wrought he added the perfection
of art. Arbors and terrace and slope
and rustic temple and reservoir and urn and
fountain hero had their crowning. Oak and
vow and hazel put on their glory of verdure.
What the greenness of deep grass and the
foam of cascade and the glitter of the still
lake could give of beauty were added. No
life was more diligent and no soul was more
ingenious tliau those of Shenstone, and all
that genius and diligence directed to the
adornment of that treasured spot. What
more could one want to make home happy?
Yet there is one man who sits sighing in
those bowers, and castiug glo<. my looks upon
those parks, and the mirth of leaping water- |
falls mako3 no melody in his ear. It i3
Shenstone, the owner of the Leasowes. "I
have lost my road to happiness," says the
despondent man. "I am angry and envious,
and dejected an 1 frantic, and disregard all
present things, just as it becomes a madman
to do." My friends, there is no solid happiness
in anything but religion. I care not
how bright a homo Orpah has iu Moab when
she turns away from duty sue turns away
from pea??. Amid tho bacchanalia of B?l- l
shazzar's feast aud tho glitter of chalicas |
there always will come out a handwriting I
on tho wall fearfully ominous: "Tekel? j
weighediu tho balances aud found wanting." j
Again, this subject teachesthat a religious
choice and the want of it freciusntlv divide
families. Ruth and Orpah and Naomi were
tenderly attache 1. They wero all widows,
and their life had been consecrated by a baptism
of tears. In the of fire trial their affections
had been forged. Together they wero
so pleasantly united you can hardly imagine
them separated. \ et a fatal line is drawn
dividing them f rom each other, perhaps forever.
Naomi cannot live in a licathen country.
She must go into Bethlehem, that there
among the pious she may worship the true
iGod. Ruth make a similar choice, but Orpah
rebels. "And they lifted up their voice j
'and wopt again, and Orpah kissed her j
mother-in-law, but Ruth clave unto her." j
The history of this family of Elimeloch is
the history of many families of this day. I
How often it is that in a circle of relatives, >
while they look alike and walk alike and talk
alike, there is a tremendous difference. Outwardly
united in the affectional relations of
this life, the}- are separated in the most ini
portant respects. Some now are the children
of light and others the children of darkness.
These are alive in Christ and those
are dead in sin. Ruthin the land of Bethlehem,
Orpuh in Moab. Of the same family
are David and Solomon, worshipers of the
Most High God, and Adonijnh ana Absalom,

ness. Belonging to the same family was the i
holy and devout Eli and the reckless Phineas i
and Hophni. Jonathan Edwards, the goo 1, j
and Pierrepont Edwards, the bad, belong to '
the same family. Aaron Burr the dissolute, I
had a most excellent father. Dying yet im- I
mortal hearer, by tho solemnity of tha j
Earental and filial and conjugal relation, j
y the sacrcdness of tho family nearth, by |
the honor of tuo family name, by "the memory j
of departed kindred, I point out this parting j
of Ruth and Orpah.
Again, this subject suggests to mo two of ;
the prominent reasons why people refuse the j
kingdom of Christ. There may have been
many other reasons why Orpah left her sis- j
ter and mother-in-law and went back home, j
but there were two reasons which I think I
were mere prominent than the rest . She had
been brought up in idolatries. She loved \
the heathen gods which her ancestors ha I j 1
worshiped, and though these blocks of wood ,
and stone could not hear she thought they ! f
could hear, and though they could not sc3 i
she thought they could so?, and though they j s
could not feel she thought they could fee!. i v
A new religion had been brought to her attention.
She had married a godly man. Sho I
must often have heard her mother-in-law 0
talk of the God of Israel. She was so much (1
shaken in her original belief that she con- t
eluded to leave her idolatries, but coming to H
the margin of the land of Bethlehem lisr ,
determination failed her and speedily she re- 1
turned to her gods. ' 1
This is tho very reason why multitudes of v
persons uever become Christians. They can- n
uot bear to give up their gods. Basiucssis y

A little or Christ's religion may creep
Into the Sabbath, but Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday
are the days devoted to this Am ;rican
Idol. Every hour there is a sacrifice on the
altar. Home duties, health of body, iianlv
strength and immortal affections mast all
burn in this holocaust. Men act as though
thev could take their bonds and mortgages
and saws and trowels and axes and day
books with them into the kingdom of heaven.
Thero are many who have no unholy
thirst for gold, yet who are devoting themfelves
to their worldly occupations with a
ruiqous intensity. Men of the .Stock Exchange,
men of the' yardstick, men of the
saw, men of the trowel, men of the day
book, what will becomo of you, if unfor?iven,
in the great day when there are no
houses to build, and no gcods to sell, and
uo bargains to make? It is possible to devote
one's self even to a lawful calling until
it becomes sinful. There is no excuse on the
earth or under the earth for the neglect of
our deathless spirit. Lydia was a seller of
purple, yet she did not allow her offensive
occupation to keep her from becoming a
Christian. Daniel was secretary of State
and attorney general in the empire of Baby
ion, ana yet cures uuie.i p. uuy aj luauu
timo to pray with his faco toward Jerusalem
. The man who has no time to attend to
religion will have no time to enter heaven.
But there are others who, while their
worldly occupation has no particular fascination
over them, are entirely absorbed in the
gains that come to that occupation. This is
the worship of Mammon. The ring of dollars
and cents is the only litany they ever
utter. Though iu tho last day the earth itaelf
will not bo worth a farthing, a heap of ashes
scattered in tho whirlwind, tliey are now giving
their time and eternity for tho acquisition
of so much of it as you might at last hold in
tho hollow of one hand.
The American Indian who gavo enough
land to make a State out of for c. string of
beads made a princely bargain compared
with the speculation of that man who gains
the whole world and loses his own soul. How
much comfort do the men take who died unCorgiven
ten years ago, leaving largo fortunes
to their heirs? Do they ever come up
to count the gold they hoarded or walk
through the mansions they built? Though
they could have bought an empire, they have
aot now as much money as you have this
monent iu your pocket.. Solomon looked
apon his palace and the grounds surrounding
it, pools rimmed with gold and circling
roaas along which at times rushed his fourteen
hnndred chariots, while under the outbranching
sycamores aud cedars walked tho
Sies and peacocks which by tho na* y of
iram had been brought from Tarsbisli, and
from the window curtains with embroidered
gold and purple through which came out the
thrill of harps and psalteries mingling with
the song of the waters.
When Solomon saw that all these lu curies
of sight and sound had been purchase 1 by
his wealth, he broke forth in tho exclamation,
"Money answereth all thiugs." Hut we
cannot receive it as literal. It cannot still
tho voice of conscience. Tt cannot drown
the sorrows of the soul. It caDnot put a
bribe in tho hand of death._ It cannot un
lock the gate or heaven. The tower or 01loam
fell and killed eighteen of its admirers;
but this idol to whose worship the exchanges
and banks and custom houses of the world
have been dedicated, will fall aud crush to
death it3 thousands. But I cannot enamerate
the idolatries to which men give themwives.
They are kept by the n ifrom a religious
life. ''Ye cannot servo God and Mammon,"
and the first thing that Christ does
when He comes into the temple of the soul is
to drive out the exchangers.
But it was not only the gods of Moab that
made Orpah leave her sister and mother-inlaw.
She doubtless had a dread of the liardihip
to which they would be exposed on the
journey to Bethlehem, and Orpah was not
ilono in the fear. Doubtless some ol! you
iave been appalled and driven back by the
wlf denials of the Christian life. Tho taunt
>f the world, the charge of hypocrisy which
they would sometimes be obliged to confront,
has kept many away from th9 land of Bethlehem.
They spend their life in co anting the
:ost, and because a Christian life domanas so
much courage and faith they dare not begin
to build. Perhaps they are courageous in
every other respect. They are not timid in
presence of any danger except that of trusting
in the infinjto mercy of Christ.
The sheep are mere afraid of th9 shepherd
than of the wolves. They shrink away from
the presence of Christ as though He were a
tyrant rather thaa a friend who sticketh
closer than a brother. They feel more safe
In the ranks of the enemy where they must
suffer infinite defeat thau in the army of
Christ, which shall be more than conquerors
through Him that love 1 them. Men shiver
and tremble before religion as though they
were commanded to throw thoir life away,
as though it were a surrender of honor and
manliness and reason and self-respect and all
that is worth keeping.
"What has God ever done that His mercy
fliould be doubted? iv as mere ever a sorrow
of His frailest child that He did not pity?
Was there evar a soul that He left unhelped
in the darkness? Was there ever a martyr
that He did not strengthen in tha flames?
Was there ever a dying mau to whose relief
lie did not come at tho cry of "Lord Jesus,
receive ray spirit?' Aye, ray soul, what has
God clone that so basely thou has doubted
Him? Did He make the whole earth a
desert? Are all tho skies dark and storm
swept? Is life all sickness? Is the air all
plague? Are there nothing but rods and
scorpions and furnaces? Gol kuew how
many suspicions and unbeliefs men would
entertain in regard to Him, and therefore,
after making a multitude of plain and
precious promises He places His hand on His
own heart and swears by His own existence:
"As I live, saith tho Lord God, I have no
pleasure in the death of him that dieth."
Why then fight against God? This day
tho battle rages. Thou arc armed with thy
sins, thy ingratitude, thy neglects, and
Christ is armed against thee, but His weapons
are tears, are dying agonies, are calls to
mercy, and the battle cry which Ho this day
sends over thy soul as He rushes toward thee
is "Save thee*from going down to the pit,
for I have found a ransom." I would not
envy thy victory. 0 hearer, if thou dosr. conquer,
for what wilt thou do with the weapons
thou hast snatched from the armed
Tl iJecmer, what with the tears, what with
His dying agonies, what with His cf.lls to
mercy? Would God that Orpnh would get
tired of Moab! Would God that Orpah
would go to Bethlehem!
Cultivated Rice.
This was first produced from a wild
plant called in India nivara. The wild
plants grow on the borders of the lakes
in India, and also Australia. Borne wild
varieties are quite numerous, some kinds
being adapted to marshy lands and some
to highlands, the latter being cultivated
like corn. Rice was known in China'!, 800
years before Christ; it is not mentioned
fn the Bible, but it is referred to iD the
Talmud. It was known in Syria 400
years before Christ, was first introduced
in Italy in 1408, and in the Carolinas in
1700. The best lands for rice culture are
level marshes where they can be drained
and flooded at will. Louisiana, and
especially the parishes of Cameron, Vermilion
and Calcasieu, contain large areas
of the finest rice land in the world. The
time is not far distant when these lands
will produce a large portion of the rice
consumed in the United States. At the
present time the farmers in the pariah of
Calcasieu are raising annually over 51,000
barrels of the finest quality.?[ThcFouutain.

PITS.
Almost any of our animals may fall iu
a fit. It is especially alarming when a
horse falls in harness or under the saddle
in a narrow or obstructed road or place,
frembliifg and writhing in convulsions.
The first thing to be done is to free the
animal as coolly and quickly as possible
from harness and vehicle, pour cold
water over the head with a steady small
stream, throw a blanket over the body,
and if the animal struggles protect it
with straw, litter or blankets from injury.
Great care should be exercised to avoid
personal injury as the animal is violently
moved by internal irritation of the brain
or nervous system or of the stomach depressed
with indigestible food. If the
recovery is immediate no medical aid
need be sought.?American Agriculturist.
FEEDING BEANS TO HOUSES.
Beans, either in the grain or with the
vines, arc nutritious food for all animals,
but they are unpalatable and are not
readily eaten. A horse or other animal
may be educated to such food, as are
English horses, of which beans are staple
food when mixed with oats. But the
beanB are coarsely cracked or broken and
then mixed with the oats. Our beans
are not the same as the English beans,
being botanically different, but not in
any essential quality, and by~ following
the English customs of nrenarinr* them
t 0 - x r o
for feeding will be found equally valuable.
The stalks are also nutritious as
coarse fodder, but on account of their
harshness are not fit for any animals but
thosejvhich ruminate, as sheep or cattle.

TRTHCO A HORSE.
If you find your horse's disposition will
do you must next try the powers. Get
to ascertain the capacity of the lungs.
Unless these are sound and capacious the
best legs will not carry Tiim fast. On a
good level road or on an uphill slope ar.d
without much load either on him or behind
him, get him to trot a mile in five
minutes. Then get down and watch him
breathing. Sec if the nostrils easily open
quite vide enough for their work. Listen
at the windpipe and take care there is no
sign of wheezing there. Look at the
flanks and see if they are working hard
or if they quiet down as they do directly
after the horse stops. Especially notice
if their working is regular, and
with no double spasmodic effort to expel
the wind. Any sign of such uncomfortable
action should be a fatal objection to
any horse, and your trial need proceed
no further.?Ntxe York Herald.
CROSSING PIGS.
A cross between a common pig and a
pure Berkshire is a half-bred; a second
cross of the half-bred with a pure boar
is three-quarters bred, and the rest threeeighths.
Consequently the cross will
never be a pure bred animal, although
four crosses, which makes flftecmsixteenths
of pure blood, is generally considered
full blood, but is not pure bred.
The half-bred pigs are quite as valuable
for pork as the pure breed. No doubt
this breed is the best for domestic uses,
as the meat is well mixed with fat and
lean, and when well fed has a sweet
flavor and is tender. But the feeding is
tne main point in making good incut.
For young pigs, when milk is not to be
had, a slop made cf meal, thiee-fourths
barley, one-fourth peas and one-fourth
bran, given sweet and not sour, and in
moderate quantity, say ona pound of the
meal at a feed for a- two-months-old
pig, will make excellent pork and a fair
growth. The food should be gradually
inrrcased. and with this breed or the
half-breeds should make a pig of 200
pounds at niue months old. For fattening,
an equal part of corn may be added
to the above mixture of grain.?New Yovlc
Times.
TnonouGnnnED BOXE.
"That must be a strong horse, for sec
what large bones he has." But bone,
like other animal tissue, is made up of
cells, and these cclLs differ in density
even in the same bone, and are widely
different in the different breeds of
horses. If a bone is sawn across it will be
seen to consist oif a hard, compact exterior
and softer interior. If a section is
made of the bones of a thoroughbred
and a scrub horse, or horses that show in
life clean, flat legs and large, round legs
respectively, it will be seen that the latter
compare very unfavorably with the former
in density and consequent strength. The
bones of the hig.ter bred animal exhibit
less bulk but more strength than the
big, loose, spongy bone of the lower
bred animal. It is said that comparatively,
the smaller but more compact
bones of the thoroughbred nre in strength
as two to one of the average carthorse.
The experienced veterinarian can tell
the breeding of a horse by examining
his bones. Thus understood, the hackneyed
phrase, "bred in the bone," is not
meaningless. In view of these facts, how
important it is that growimg colts be fed
a due proportion of bone making foods,
chief among which is wheat bran.?Neio
York Tribune.
. CUT STRAW FOR BEDDING.
A German agricultural journal presents
some cogent arguments in favor of
chopped in place of whole straw for
animal bedding. The first consideration
is the economy of it, which experiments
have shown to be about thirty-five per
cent. Secondly, the comfort of the
animal is better secured. In the use of
long.straw an,'oven distribution of it will
rarely occur, and the animal will be
' itreated to. a lumpy couch. Furtherr
more, it isjfar easier to separate the wet
and soiled portions of a cut-straw bed
from thesdry. Also, the chopped bed:
diug is a better absorbent of the animal's
I droppings;, and there is 'lees waste of
F ammonia!by evaporation. It is far more
\ easi'<7 manipulated in the compost heap.
: Again, as the absorption of fertilizing
ji material has been more equal in the
! short bedding material, so the compost
} heap in turn bccomcslmorc uniform and
) homogeneous?better fortified against
external'dnlluencc3 and less given to internal-.fermentation.
This is a point of
prime importance,^. as many will attest
who have- exposed themselves to serious
'loss in their/ manure heaps by burning.
Importanttesiis this matter in the stable,
it is still mere so in the pig-sty. Swine,
(especially 'brood sows, should be furnished
with cut-straw bedding rather
than lom;4straw.?American Agricultur

The handsomest and most showy form
for a Shorthorn cow includes a broad as
well as deep chest, full crops, fore ribs
so round as. toileave no depression behind
the shoulders; a straight line along the
back to endjof thejrump; wide between
the huckle Tjones, and well-developed
quarters. This is the best shape for
making beef. For milk, the chest should
be deeper aud not ,so broad, fore rib3
rather flat and long, crops less full than
for beef, and the quarters quite broad,
so that in looking 'at her in front her
body will appear decidedly wedgeshaped,
the larger end to the rear. But
even thus formed,'when dried off, a
Shorthorn cow will fatten quickly and
cheaply, and make a good carcass of a
fine quality of beef. Occasionally-one of
beef shape?that is, about as full In front
as rear, and rather fat?proves a great
milker of a highly excellent quality, like
some Holstein-Friesians. Many of these
latter seem to have changed > their nature
iu America, yielding richer milk generally
than in Holland, and yet of very
abundant quantity. No doubt this

mate and quality'of food.
The summers in; Holland arc cool and
wet, and in North America comparatively
hot and dry, with drier and more
frosty winters, and the grass of our
meadows is less rank and succulent.
These have much influence in giving
quantity and quality to milk and also in
the formation of flesh. Still, the difference
in breeds of cattle is paramount, and
the animals should be chosen from such
as excel in what is most desired by the
! breeder tc produce.?American AjriJ

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Cut hay early.
Keep the knives of the mower sharp.
Worse than wear for tooU?rust and
rot.
No dull, rusty or shacklv tool nowadays.
Are you improving your farm this
year?
Potatoes and onions thrive on good
ashes.
The hay-loader will lessen the cost of
thr> field work.
Cat hay just after the bloom falls.
Cut when possible on a bright day.
This is the season for the farmer to bo
at home ''minding his own business
severely."
If the ground is smooth cut low, but
if timothy, cut above the bulb at the
ground. Four hours of hot sun will
cure sufficiently.
It will pay to thoroughly examine
every ear of corn intended for 6eed.
Com from fields infested with rust lost
season should be avoided.
During the warm days of summer the
manure will "fire fang" unless plenty of
absorbent material be used, or the manure
turned over occasionally.
All fallen fruit, whether very young or
nearly matured, should be destroyed in
order to prevent the propagation of insects
as much as possible.
P*ofessor Ladd concludes that it is
preferable to cut timothy for feeding at
the period of full bloom rather thau
after the seeds have formed.
The hay-fork and carrier will lessen
the cost of mowing away. If to be
I stacked in the field the gatherers and
I stackers will lessen the cost.
The hoc will compensate for lack of
| manure in the garden sometimes. Nothing
improves vegetables like a good hoeing
of the soil and cutting out the
weeds.
The fanner of to-day requires moro
tools than the farmer of a generatiou
ago, because he employs less muscle.
They are a big item of expense. Take
good care of them.
From tests made at the Michigan Experiment
station it was found that potatoes
yielded better when planted ODly
one and two inches deep than if covered
four or five inches.
Rust and rot do more for the implement
maker in winter, than wear and
t ear do in summer, and rain and sua do
more in summer than the wear and tear.
IIousc your implements.
Stock need salt when grass food is
plentiful more than at any other time.
The lack of salt sometimes causes injurious
effects from green food that
might be avoided by its use for stock.
If it pays some farmers to raise the
daily cows that are purchased by dairymen
who sell their calves, it should pay
the dairymun to raise his own cows,
especially if he does so with the aim of
improving his herd.
One hundred dollars' worth of cheese
takes from the farm less than one-seventh
the fertility taken by $100 worth of
grniu, while $100 worth of butter?if
the skim milk be fed on the farm?take3
nothing from the soil.
A coirespondent of the Massachusetts .
Ploughman says that a quart of viuegar
in half a pail of water, if thoroughly
sprinkled over the interior of a hcuhousc,
will free it from lice when whitewashing
and other remedies have failed.
It is a bad plan to waste food by
throwing it on the floor instead of feeding
in troughs or some other vessel; also,
to cram fifty cents' worth of drugs down
the throat of a sick chicken that
wouldn't be worth even a quarter if it
was well.
There is no lawful objection against
asking a debtor for payment of his debt
on the public street or elsewhere if quiet
words are used, but it is an offense to do
this loudly so as to attract attention.

Coloring Artificial Eyes.
The art involved in coloring the
crystal ball intended for the schlerotica
or white of the eye, in producing an
artificial member has been reduced to a
matter of great simplicity, at the same
time attaining the desired perfection.
In the best results the artisan applies to
the glass ball enamels of different colors,
which, amalgamating with that of the
crystal in a pasty state, gradually give it
the tint of nature's optic. This operation
begins with the iris, which is formed
by the use of several amalgamated
enamels, and, the iris finished, there is
placed in its centre a spot of black
enamel; this is the pupil, which is be eucirclcd
by the artist with its areola, the
process being completed by drawing
those almost infinitely small as wc'l as
exquisite fibers which are found in the
inis. The globe of the eye being in this
manner brought to its completed state of
beauty and adaption all tbat remains is to
place it in the centre of the crystal ball.

Signing a Chock by Electricity.

The writing to be transmitted is impressed
on soft paper with an ordinary

which, as it revolves, ''makes and breaks"
the electric current by means of the varying

moving in accurate synchronism
with the other, receives the current on a
chemically prepared paper, on which it
transcribes the signatures in black letters
on a white ground.?[Scientific American.
