TWO VIEWS OF CHECK REINS.
Whether the ordinary check rein h of 1
tny humeri t n;ay, perhaps, be considered
in open question. There are arguments
tooth for and against its use. Oh some
torses it may be useful. On others it is I
probably an injury. But, however, this
form of the rein may be regarded th*re j
teems to be but one way to look upon the
overhead check. This kind of a rein is j
ft barbarity and ought to be abolished, j
it once and forever. It keeps the horse j
In Constant pain white it is on and the j
^discomfort produced by its use teraains j
after -it is removed. Iu many j
eases it has caused severe disease. The j

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

CABS OF THE HEIFER CALF.

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.

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 feathers of the parrot are par
ticularly valuable, some dances can
not be held without them, though the
Indians ha.Xto travel hundreds of mile*
into Mexico to^et them. A peacock ia
barker to kee^in the vicinity of Indians
than the finest horse ? those brilliant
plumes are too tempting.
Eagle feathers are ot sovereign value;
and in most of the Pueblos great, dark,
cantive eagles are to furnish the
coveted articles for most important occa
sions. If the bird of freedom were sud

washing white counterpanes.
A simple rule for washing white coun
terpanes may be of value to inexperi
enced housekeepers. 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. They
should be taken in when they are almost
dry, stretched and folded and put under
a heavy weight over night. They may
then be unfolded and thoroughly dried
in the sun or hot kitche.i till perfectly
dry. ? New York Tribune.

But when my text says, M answered thee
In the secret place of thinder,'* it surest
there is some mystery 4out the thunder
1 o the ancients thecausfeof this bombard
ing the earth with loud sound must have
been more of a mystery than it is to us. The
lightnings, which were to them wild mon

have been domesticated. We harness elec

and every schoolboy knows something about
the fact that it is the passage of electricity
from cloud to cloud that makes the heavenly
racket which we call thunder. 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.
Alter all the scientific batteries have been *
doing their work for a thousand years to
come and learned men have discoursed to
the utmost about atmospheric electricity and
magnetic electricity and galvanic electricity
and thermotic electricity and frictioua!
electricity and positive electricity and nega
tive electricity my text will be as suggestTve
as it is to-day, when it speaks of the secret
place of thunder.
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

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

.In another part of ihe ihurch sat. Sabbath
by Sabbath, a be-.?ufi: u ? and talented woman,
who was a jzreat society leader. She went

It positively vulgar. \N".:i'.?, cards, theateri,
rounds of costij" i:ayety were to her tbi
higkest satisfaction.'
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. A j*>or oid Christian,

place o? tue thunder. There ^lome
unknown, mysteriou* eouroe ?t
^most all the moral and religions power
demonstrated. Not one oat of a mllBon?
not one out of ten million? prayer* erect
strikes a human ear. On public oooasioor ai
minister of religion voices the supplication*
? 411 assemblage, but the prajers of all the'
congregation are in silence. 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

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

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,
