He , ?tort to cut iCbefore the seed has formed. .Tberj^ja a physical law in this that will fcffp the farmer it he is wis^eh**tgh to Observe it. Clover is a biennial ? one of ?hoee plants that commences to die when <?oce it ha3 produced seed. Here is the froint: By cutiwg before the seed forms | J? can cut tw*erops in one season and ( Mill keep the root alive. At least it will i pot die because its purpose has been ful- j filed. This yea^ we shaft need a! I the j hay we can get. Skillful management ; vt our clover meadows will give us a large additional yield of hay and liave j gbe roots ri^ht for the next season. That pb? farmer^ths late Hiram Smith, once j Apwed ua a field of medium clover nine j ttars old, from whtcil he had taken th it j jfgr fully three tons per acre in threo j iilttings. But there is another great ad- i rafttage in early cutting. The hay f??r ! Vtttk and butter purposes is worth double j of the ordinary grade. &tKow is the time, according to Hoard's Jpftiryman, which givjs the foregoing wlvice, to make a mistake that will oc- j feupy OS a whole year in mourning about, j Cot the clover before it seeds. Cut two 'crops. Get more hay per acre. Get hay worth twice as much as the ordinary ! kind. Preserve your clover meadow for j kext year. Oue great reason clover i Meadows kill out in winter is because 1 tbef become exhausted in summer by ! beioj; allowed to stand until the seed has 'formed before cutting. ?

CABS OF THE HEIFER CALF. /1%e idea in past yenrs, by the many, has been that a cow was a cow and, if one was better than another, it was a <4?w luck." This left tine breeding in the hands of the few. It was called the rich larmer's "? 'sport," which the ordinary farmer could not and bear tire extra expense of 5 fine cows. A change is now *p Only the rich can ajjrtjjl to keep 'cow. Good breedi^^^re&ational i hare much to do with." the develop the cow. Let the brfeed or grade < ? i may, the calf, if worth raising ?yes good care'and treatment.

A ntf?d ab thority cays that "costs breed from the Mood, not their performance" so that a hotter caff from a milking sffain is pre : JteaUa to one that has a promis Oaaea parrnt&^e. The care ef a calf and matter of administering to the 1 cAce of the cow's motherhood, and all : of the feting agencies of stable and iatt should be to enlarge the powers of fte animal to increase her milk produc so that when the heifer, at twenty far thirty months old, comes into teT, she wiH be to all interna and sb % developed cow. calf, if a spring arrival, should be f??ken from the cow in due time, anc put on prepared food. Here the dairy man must face the question whether to take the calf off at once, or allow it to run with the mother for a few weeks. A matter of profit comes in, ior batter fats are worth twenty -fire cents per pound, and the latter practice soon makes the litter heifer a costly one. Skim milk, even when lavishly fed, is not an ideal food. In the stomach of the young calves it does not readily digest, for, while the butter fats are not in them selves a sustaining food, they are grea promoters of digestion and creators ol , energy. If profit is an object, and giowth is insisted upon, a substitute must be found. Linseed mea!, cooked to a jelly and added to skim milk, at tne rate of about two pounds to one hundred (rounds of miik. makes the ration abou equal to the whole milk. Later on, oat mea(, with the hulls sifted out and then fcalded, makes a capital addition to the linseed. ,Feed the milk sweet and warm, i Do not let it get sour, and then feed ! cold. Sour miik has lost about all its sugar element. The sugar, next to the casein, is the most important thing in skim milk. Think of feeding a baby calf cold sour milk! What motbT would think of feeding it to her own baby, and yet t&is is, over and over again, a man's judgment of infantile wants. When the calf haa developed its fourth stomach and begins to chew its cud, | solids may be fed along with the fluids, but the milk or mush must not be aban- ; doned for some months. I am inclined to think that the calf should be stabled the first summer ; not tied up, but given the freedom of the stable, well bedded, and not be compelled to undergo the life of a "grasser." It costs as much to keep the brood of dies that sub sist upon the summer calf as the calf it self, with the additional disadvantage that the calf i3 compelled to prepare this food for the flies. It the stable will en able the calf to retain the llies' share, the gam in worth will be surprising. There is no reason why the heifer calf should be so poorly Kept that, when six months old, it will sell J^jr le^s than a veal calf of four wet?ks. When the time of stomach development ceases, clover, whole oats, and similar food, may be fed, but the feeding should not be so lavish as to induce a beef forming habit. Feed so as to make good growth aud thrift. If we so feed as to fatten the heifer unduly, the tendency is that, when high feeding for milk is attempted, the beef form again appears, and is hard to hold in check- Handle the little calf so that when it develops into a heifer it will have cow habits. Make her life ai cow like as possible. Do not fool with her, but handle her; go through with the milking motions, at least, so that i when she takes her place in.^ the dairy she will not have to be subjected to the ?'breaking" ordeal. The two-year-old heifers had best run with the dairy herd, come and go with it, take their places in the 9tables and have their dish of bran. These heifers are now expected to calve in October, and through the summer each on^has not only her own life and growth tc pro vide for, but another life must be sup ' ported, bone and muscle provided for. k, Nitrogenous foods, like oats and clover, I Jjave had a stimulating e5ect upon milk traduction, and at this time it is fair to subppse also a developing effect upon the udder itself. This, with good stable life in the win ter, flesh making foods rather than fat tening ones, and those to tome extent of a somewhat succulent character, regu lar feeding and comfortable warmth, ab sence of the "toughening" process, with plenty of pure air and abundant sunlight I to build up constitution and vigor, will give us the hardy cow with power- to i transmit her goo<T qualities to her d iujh I ters. ? American Agriculturist. Good and Bad Feathers. Feathers figure very prominently in the religious customs of most aborigines, and remarkably so in the Southwest. Among Navajos and Pueblos alike these plume-symbols are of the utmost efficacy for good or bad. They are part of al most every ceremonial of the indefinite suwrstitions of these tribes. Any white or bright-hued plume is of good omen ? > go<xl "medicine" as the Indians would put it.

The counterpanes should be washed by themselves in abun dance of white suds and thoroughly rinsed and blued. They may be wrung with the hauds tightly, but they aie usually too heavy to wriag through a wringer, and are not improved by the process. Some housekeepers prefer to have them taken from the last wringing and hung on the line to drip dry.

But, after all that cnemistry has taught the world there are mysteries about the skyey reson-' Mice and my text, true in the time of the rsalmist, is true now and always will be true, that there is some secret about the place of thunder. To one thing known about the thunder t.h?re aF* a hundred things not known.

Now right along by a natural law there is aiways a spiritual law, as there is a secret place of moral thunder. In other words the religious power that, you see abroad in the church in the world has a hid ing place, and in many cases it is never dis covered at all. I will use a similitude i can give only a dim outline of a particular case, for many of the remarkable circum stances I have forgotten. Many years a~o there was a large church. It was character ized by strange and unaccountable conver sions. There were no great revivals, but individual cases ot spiritual arrest and trans formation . A young man sat in one of the front pews. He was a graduate or Yale, brilliant as the north star and notoriously dissolute. Even - body knew him and iisea him for his zent ality, but deplore I his moral errantry. To please his parents he was every Sabbath morning m cnurcn. une nay mere was a ringing of tiie door-b?ll of the pastor of that church, and that younsj man, whelmed with repentance, implored prayer and advice, and passed into complete reformation of hear; and life. All the neighborhood was aston ished and asked, "Why was this?" His father and motuer had said nothing to him about his soul's welfare. On another aisle of the same church sat an old miser. He paid his pew rent, but was hard on the poor, and had no interest in any philanthropy. Piles of money 1 Aud people said, "What a struggle he wrill hav.: when he quits thifc life to part with his bon U and mortgages." One nay he wrote to hi minister: "Pleasa to call immediately. .? have a matter of great importance abou which I want to s*?e you . " W hen the pasto came in the man coul I not sneak for emo tion, but after awhile ht> gathered self con trol enough to sav: 'T have lived for tbi world too long. I want V) know if you think I can be saved, .and. if so, I wish you would tell me how."' Upon his soul the light soon dawned, aul the old miser, not only revolutionize I in heart but in life, b<e gan to scatter benefaction*, and toward all the great charities of ii:e day he became a cheerful and bountiful abnoner. What wa> the cause of this (dian.e? everybody asked, and no one was capable oi giving an intelli gent answer . .In another part of ihe ihurch sat. Sabbath by Sabbath, a be-.?ufi: u ? and talented woman, who was a jzreat society leader.

One day a neighbor sent in a visiting card, and this lady catne down the stairs in tears and told the whole siory of how she ha 1 not slept for several night?, and she feared she was going to lose her soul. and she wondered if some one would not come around and pray with he*r. From that time her entire de meanor was changed, and though she was not called upon to sacrifice any of her ameni ties of life, she consecrated her beauiv. her social position, h^r family, her all to God and the church and usefulness. Everybody said in regard to her: "Have you noticed the change, and what in the world caused it?" and no one could make satisfactory explana tion. In the course of two years, though there was no g^neril awakening in That church, manv such isolated cases of such unexpected and unaccountable conversions to >k plaee. The very people whom no \one thought would l>e affected by ?.uHi Considerations were converted. The oastor arJ[l the officers of the church were on the lookout for the solution of this religious phenomenon. "Where is it," th"V said, "and who is it and what is it!" At last the discovery was made and all.wasexplained.

There is not a* second in a century when prayers are not ascending, but myriads of them are not even as loud as a whisper, for God hears a thought as plainly as a vocalisation. That silence of supplication? hemispheric and perpetual?* is the secret plaoa of thunder. - In the winter of 1875 we were worshipim* m the Brookliu Academy of Music in the in?* terregnum of churches. We had the great audiences, but I was oppressed beyond 1 measure by the fact that conversions were not more numerous. One Tuesdav I In vital to my nouse tlve <Jld, consecrated Christian men? all of them gone now, except Father rearson, and he, in blindness and old a*e waiting for the Master's call to oome up higher. Th ese ol d men came, not knowing why t had invited them. I took them to the top room of my house. I said to them: "I have called you here for special prayer. I am in an agony for a great turning to God of the people. We have vast multitudes in atten dance end they are attentive and respectful but I cannot see that ttay are saved. Let us kneel down and each one pray and not leave this room until we are all assured that the blessing will come and has come." It was a most intense crying unto God.'*,*! said, "Brethren, let this meeting bea secret," and they said it would be. That Tuesday night special service ended. On the following Friday night oocurred the usual prayer meeting. No on* knew of what had occurred on Tuesday night but the taeethigwas unusually thronged. Men accustomed to pray in public in great cam posut| broke down uuder emotion. Th* l-eoplg* were in tears. There ijere sob* >nd silences and solemnities of such unusual \ power that the worshipers looked into each other's faces, as much as to say, "What does all this mean?" And when the follow mg Sabbath came, although we were in a secular place, over four hundred arose for prayers, and a religious awakening took j lace that made that winter memorable for time and for eternity. There may be in this building manj^who were brought to <iod during that great ingathering, but few of them know that the upper room in my house on Quincy street, where those five old (christian men poured out their souls before (rod, was the secret place of thunder The day will come-God hasten it? when people will find out the velocity, the ma jesty, the multipotence of prayer. We brag h bout our limited express trains whioh put us down a thousand miles away in twenty iour hours, but here is something by whioh m a moment we may confront people five > housand miles away . We brag about our telephones, but here is something that beats the telephone in utterance and reply, for God says, "Before thev call, I will bar " w e brag about the phonograph, in which a man cau speak, and his words and the tones of his voice can be kept for ages, and by the turning of a crank the worts may oome forth upon the ears of another century, but prayer allows us to speak words into the ears of everlasting remembrance, and on tbe other side of all eternities they will be heard. Oh, ye who are wasting your breath, and wasting your brains, and wasting your nerves, and wasting your lungs wishing for this good and that gooi for the church and the world, why do you not go into the secret place of thunder. s "But," says some one, "that is a beautiful theory, yet it does not work in my case, for 1 am in a cloud of trouble, or a cloud of sickness, or a cloud of persecution, or a cloud of poverty, or a cloud of bereavement, or a cloud of perplexity." How glad I am that you told me that. That is exactly the ?_ P!|ce to which my text refers. ,It was from a ?Dud that God answered Israel? the cloud over the chasm cut through the Red Sca the cloud that was light to the Israelites and darkness to the Egyptians. It was from a c.'oud, a tremendous cloud, that God madt reply. It was a cloud that was the secret place of thunder. So you cannot get away trom the consolation of my text by talking that way. Let all the people under a cloud hear it. "1 answered thee in the secret place of thunder." fhis subject helps me to explain some things you nave not understood about men and women, and there are multitudes of them, and the multitude is multiplying by the minute. Many of them have not a superabundance of education. If you had their brain in a post-mOrtern examination, and you could weigh it, it would not weigh any neavier than the average. They have not anything especially impressive m per jonal appearance. They are not very fluenl of tongue. They pretend to nothing unusual in mental faculty or social influence, bal you feel their pjwer; you are elevated in i heir presence; you are a better man or a Vu>tr?r wrinisn. h*vino> nonfrnntari t.h?m \ ou know that in intellectual endowment vou are their superior, while in tbe matter of moral and religious influence they arf vastly your superior. Why is this? To find the revelation of this secret yod must go back thirty or forty or perhaps sixty rears to the homestead where this man was brought up. It is a winter morning, and the Un can^,e .Is lifted, and the fires arj kindied, sometimes the shavings hardlv enough to start tbe wood. The 'mother is preparing the breakfast^ the hhE ?g3i ?i^fSart?I\th6 tab,e' th? "d of the kettle on the hearth begins to rattle with the steam, and the shadow of the in iustrious v? TV the J^ing flame on the hearth is mov ed up and down the wall. The father fa at the barn feeding the stock-the oaTs thrown mto the horses' bin and the cattle g the corn. The children, earlier than they would like and after being called tw ice, are gathere I at the table j ^ hiessing of God is asked on the food i and, the meal over, the family Bible is put upon the white tablecloth and a chapter i< read and a prayer msde. which includes all ts* '"tcrests for this world and the next. I he children pay not much attention to the prayer, tor it is about the name thing day after day, but It puts upon them an imores s-iou that ten thousand years will only mak" more vivid and tremendous. As long as the oil folks live their prayer is for their chil dren and their children's children. Day in and day out* month in and mouth out, year in and year 'out, decade in and decade out i ?!LS'T aIl .,,8U''hters of that family are remembered in earnest oraver. and th??v Know it, ant tney feel it, and they cannot get away from it.

How appro priately the Scripture passage cut on ihe mother's tombstone. "She h^th done what she could." And how beautiful the pa-sice cut on the father's tombstone.

Yonder is the orchard where they used to thrash the trees for apples, sometimes before they were quite ripe. There in mow where they hunted for eggs before Easter.

The thuuders of dissolving nature will be followed by a celestial psalmody the sound of which St. John on Patmos de scribed, when he said, "I heard a voice like the voice of mighty thundering I" Amen! Country retfple to tlie Front In Cities, Recent statistical inquiries have shown that cities grow because they absorb the best, aud not the worst, of the . rural population, who better their condition by coming to town. Charles Booth, the eminent English statistician, in his great work, "Labor and Life of the People/' has shown, from very extended inquiry, that most of those wbo come to London from the country either havo work already en- ! gaged, cr have good prospects of get ting work; and that their condition is | generally improved by their chauge ol abode. The British census of 1890 confir.us this in a striking manner by showing that the people of country birth are most numerous in the wealthy quarters of the city, where employment abound?, an I least numerous in the poverty stricken quarters. All this is contrary to the preconceived opinion that countrymen wander aim lessly to the city, and are chiefly trampi orbrokeu down persons. ? Scribuor, As a.
