It is quite possible to err either way, as it is certain that very ninny kinds or varieties may be bought more cheaply or, at any rate, more true to name than thev can be saved, while, ou the other hand, many do well to save the required number of certain varieties which i an not always be purchaed. As n rule home saved seed, if kept iu a dry phice, rarely fail to germinate more surely aud strou.dy than do tho-e sup plied by the seedsmen, the latter not al ways be ng iu a |M»sition to seud out new or well-ripened seed. In dull, wet sea sons it is almost impossible to properly harvest tho seeds of various vegetables, • nd the private grower ought, when there is every prospect of tho seed crops iu the fields being very late and of doubtful quality, to save as many for himself us possible. Take peas for in- s.anco. The bulk of those for seed ure growu in the open fields and without >iuy stakes, and when lying a long time on the ground in dull, wet weather proper ripening is almost out of the question.

In some way all the thrilling scenes through which we and the Church of God have passed iu our earth ly state will be pictured or brought to mind. At the cyclorama of Gettysburg, which we had in Brooklyn, one day a blind inau, who lo t his sight in that battle, was with his child heard talking while standing before that picture. The blind man said to the daughter: “Are there at the right of the picture some reg meats marching up a hill?” “Yes,” she said. “Well,” said tne blind man, “is there a General on horseback leading them on?” “Yes,” she said, j “Well, is there rushing down on these men a cavalry charge?” “Yes,” was i tne reply. “And do there seem to be many 1 dying and dead!” “Yes,” was the answer. ] “Well, now, do you seo a shell fr- m the woods bursting near the wheel of a cannon?” i “Yes.” she said. “Stop right therel” said ! the Mind man. “That is the last thing 1 I ever saw on earth!

Hunt of tho Illinois Col lege Farm concludes as follows in sum ming up the results of his experiments in feeding pigs: 1. It required 1J.80 pounds of skim- nulk to produce one pound of pork wh n fed with comuical in ratio 11-7 to fattening hogs. 2. Hkiin-milk could not be economically fed to hogs unless it was a waste product which could not be otherwise utilized. 3. It required ou an average 44 pounds of shelled corn to produce one pound of pork during an average period of four weeks, or ono bushel produced 13i pounds. 4. It required 4i pounds of cornmcal to produce one pound of pork, or one bushel of com made into meal and fed dry produced 12 ) pounds of pork. 5. When fed dry, shelled corn io more economii al than cornmcal to feed to fattening hogs. (>. It required 74 pounds or one-fourth bushel of ground oats to produce one pound of pork, when fed with equal parts by weight of cornmeal. 7. One bushel of corn is worth nearly three bushels of outs as food for fatten ing hogs. 8. Corn-fed pigs gained about 44 pounds per week, and ate about twenty- oue pounds of coru per 100 pounds of live weight. 0. Tho gain for the amount of food consumed decreased during fattening. 10. Pork was produced during tho cold weather, with corn at twenty-eight cents per bushel, for less than three cents per pound. 11. An insufficient food supply foi two weeks caused a very considerable loss iu feeding thereafter. 12. Indian com istheinost economical pork producing material during tho Winter months iu regions where ex tensively grown. Fall or Spring Ploughing. A correspondent of the Mural Ncj> Yorker thus discusses the question: I would plougii this fall just us soon as the ground is damp enough, and I would plough very deep. If ploughed this fall the roots will soon die and rot, and the frosts of w.uter will help to pulverize the sod. Another advantage of fall ploughing is the destruction of worms that are stowed away for winter. I have very little sympathy with the idea of the soil getting manure from the winds or Hosts of winter. They only tend to’ h umoni/e the manures that are already iu the soil and act as pulverizers instead of manure, bhould this piece tie left to be ploughed in spring it would have to thaw out and then dry, and by that time the grass would get a start and iu order to kill the grass it would have to be ploughed shallow. Tlien if a dry sum mer t-hould follow the sod would not rot aud it would be very difficut to cultivate and a light crop would be the result. Now I would say to a young farmer, if he wishes a lesson that will last him tho balance of his farming life, let him cut a ditch above this piece that will keep off all surplus water; then let him take half of the piece and plough it this fall as deep as i wo or three horses cau draw tho plough, and next spring, as soon as tho putty. Occasionally a very oiu sasu » , Ud is dry enough to got a team on it, found, the putty on which has a large let to harrow.

A bee-xeeper of largo experience give* the following advice through the col umns of Uleardngt of Lee Culture: Years ago, when I first began to keep bees, I thought there was little which needed doing with the bees during the month of September and October, thinking that the mouth of Novcmlier was early enough to prepare bees for winter, and many a time have I equalized the stores in the hive “tij frost,” as 1 used to term it, thinking thnt I could get along with the matter easier and quicker while tho liees were thickly packed away in their winter quarters, than 1 could possibly do when warm weather cqinpelled uio to use smoke to drive the bees out of the way, and keep their tenijier down t>o I could handle them. Well, if this were all there was to it I should still prefer to equalize the stores alter cold nights had compelled tho bees to contract off the hcaV'V co a’ • of honey; hut after losing heavily several times when preparations were thus delayed, for the reason that the disturbing of bees late iu the fall seems to be very injurious, I concluded to take the advice of an old bee kee|ier, who told me that the month of Septem ber was ihe proper time to fix tho bees for winter. After working on this j lan fora number of years, I find that he was quite right about it; and in order that the readers of Gleanings may be re minded tbat winter is soon to be upon us, and that they >h raid not dcluv get ting the bees ready for it longer thun till the last of thia mouth, I will tell them a little of how I work along this line. The point which seems to have the greatest bearing ou successful wintering is the getting of tho winter stores near and aiouud the cluster of bees in time for them to settle down into that quies cent state so conducive to good winter ing, prior to Novcmher first. To ar range these stores and properly seal them requires warm weather; hence It Is clear, I think, to all, why we should not put olf caiing for them till cold weather arrives. To lie sice that all have the de- tired amount of honey, there is only one certain way to do, and tbat is to open the hives and take each frame and weigh it, after having shaken tho bees oil from it. Next weigh a frame of empty comb, Dr several of them, so us to get the tverago weight, which, when deducted from the weight of those in tho hive, will give the weight of the honey. If it is found thutthereare twenty five pounds of honey, I call that colony all right for winter.

Lieutenant Habu-ham, in his account of the North Pacific Surveying and Ex ploring Expedition, describes some strange appeal antes of tho water seen , about the t ajie of Good Hope. The whole surface of the harbor would at times be colored by a greasy, frothy, wwtu-.n.. variously covered substance, that gave al ways a world-wide langu age, and printer'^ the water a most uncleanly appearance typos have no emphasis compared with it duringthe day, but whi h at night caused it to icsembie acako of molten gold.

Furthermore, let ail reformers, and ail Sabbath-school teachers, and all Christian workers realize that if they would be effec tive for goni, they mud make pictures, if not by chalk on black-boards, or kindergarten designs, or by pan- oil on canvas, tnon by words. Argu. iente are soon forgotten: but- pictures, whether in language or in colors, are what produce Strongod effects. Cnr.st was always tolling what a tiling was like, and liL Bunuon on tho Mount was a great picture galled ginning with a sketch of a “city on n hi i% mi cannot be bid,” and ending with a tempest beating against two houses, one on the rock and the other on the sand.

Notwithstanding the fact that in many sections of tho tountry t ost of tho Alle- ghanicx, and more especially south, sta ble nui'.ure is difficult to obtain, it is nevertheless true that it is tho best possi ble manure thnt can be applied. Why? It contains all the constituents, including humus, that aro needed by tho crops; nnd tho richer the food given animals, the better the manure. Many farmers make tho serious mistake of allowing the soluble portions of the manure to e»ca|>e by leaching. Another great wade result* from allowing the liquid excre ment to escape in the stable. This liquid manure and the soluble portions of the solid part, aro the most valuable. In fact nothing tnat is used as manure, either the commercial or tho barnyard kind, can be taken up by plants, except after being solved by water. How necessary, therefore, that all that may bo liquid should bo conserved. Desido the escape of fertilizing matter away, there is too often so- in the shape of cofltly nitrogen—always os ammonia. To prevent this, add al ternate layers of strong loam and manure, as the mass is laid up. Tho loam will absorb and hold tho ammonia. To prevent the loss of the liquid por tions of the manure by leaching, select a place where there is a close clay soil. Form this, dishing to tho center, aud puddle tho bottom by tramping with cat tle when wet. This will render the bottom practically water tight. Now if in tho center a well is dug, say throe feet deep, and covered to keep tho solid ma ture from entering, then if some common suctionpump is placed therein, and the manure laid up regularly all around, the 1 liquid may be pumped over the pile from Farm nnd Garden Notes The average dairyman should his own cows. Many farmers fail to derive the benefit they should from sheep because of im proper feeding. Soap and kerosene emulsion has been found successful in destroying wh.te grubs on lawns A good rule in mixed farming is to keep sufficient stock to consume all tho products of the farm. Make your farm such that poor animals would disgrace it; mnko your animals inch that a poor farm would be unfit for them. Ordinary warts on cattle may be re moved with a knife, aud the surface of the wound touched witli lunar caustic to prevent excessive bleeding. Strawl erry plants should not bo cov- vered for the winter until after the soil is frozen, and then simply shade them. Do not attempt to keep the plants warm, for warmth is not needed, but is in jurious. Wh le milk is standing for cream' to rise, the purity of the cream, and con sequently the fine flavor nnd keeping of the butter, will be injured if the surface of the cicain is exposed freely to air much warmer than the cream. L’o not pack pears, grapes or auy fiuit in bran, to keep during winter. The bran causes the truit to ripen very fast. Place in bran if yon desire a fine color j and quick ripening, but examine often or the truit will get overripe. Tho live weight of a cow decides her ration of support, It sliou d be equal to ! two and one-half per cent In dry food matter, or not less than thirty pounds per day of good hay or its equivalent in grain, straw, ensilage or roots for a 1000 pound cow. As milk is an animal secretion manu factured by the cow, it must be evident that anything which worries, frets or torments tho cow, or renders her uneasy or uncomfortable, will certainly lessen the quantity aud affect the composition of her milk. The flies which annoy horses so much may be kept from tho animals by sprinkling the litter with a solution of two ounces of carbolic acid in a pailful of water nnd oy sponging the horse with a little of the solution mixed with an •qua! quantity of kerosene oil. The best and richest milk is found to be produced just after growth ceases, ana while the vitality ia strongest. When a cow has reached that age when she be gins to lose vital force, her secretions of milk becomes le->s perfect, just a* her digestions and assimilation do. Do not neglect your strawberry beds. Clean out the weeds and mulch them. A good working, followed by a generous supply of manure, then a good coating of straw, applied within the next thirty days, will insure a good crop of berries next year. Next year’s berries aro formed this year. A Southern paper says tho percentage of losi from cold is heavier among South ern stock than Northern, as is shown hy government statistics. Bheltcr for cattle in winter is demanded by both humanity and economy. I luhcltcrcd stock is un profitable stock, aud indicates a crue! and thriftless owner. Professor A. J.
