SUNDAY THOUGHTS! MORALS MANNERS

BT A CLEBOTM1X "We are not to imagine that service consists only in activity. God is served acceptably when we do what we can. More than our most or better than our best Ha does not require. It we have learning, we are toEerve God with that; if leisure, with that; if talent, with that; if money, with that. But if we hare none of these He will take what we do possess. John Milton, old and blind, shut out and shut in, wrote that most exquisite of Bonnets, the one on his blindness, in which ho cays: God doth not need Either man's worki or his own rift; who best 1 ear LIi mild rote, they lore Hun beat. Ilia state Ii kiogly; thousands at Ills bul ling speed, And pot o'er laud and ocan without rest; They alio serve wtio only stand aad wait. Often the very hardest service is this of etandin;? and waiting. I'ut if Providence lays us aside, is it not Providence that appoints that service? Wayland Ifoyt tells of an old woman named Aunt Betty. he was poor but had time and strength. And after her conversion sbe made herself the pood Samaritan of the neighborhood. She mothered the town. She wa9 always running upon some divine errand of goodWill. One day she took cold, tier muscles were tied up in hard knots of rheumatism. Pleurisy pierced her side. A hacking cough tortured her. The minister came in. "Well Aunt Tetty," said he, "I suppose you find it pretty hard to bear this change after your active hat'irs?'' 'Xo, sir, not at all," she said. "When I was well I u.-cd to hear the Lord pay day by dav, Tetty, go hero; Hettv, pro there; Hetty, do this; Hetty, do that.' And I h?ard and hee led as best I could. Now I hear Ilini say: 13ettv be still and eoujjh.' " An. tin? is the true philosopher's stone turning all to gold. The baptists of England, as the centenary of their missionary society draws near, havo resolved to mark it by raising their regular income to 100,030 a year and sending into the foreign field 100 new jaborers. Tho church missionary society rontemplates something yet more magnificent. It has issued nn appeal for 1,000 new laborers. American Christians mu.it icok to their laurels. From time to time tho community is shocked to learn that this, that and the sther trusted and honored mnn in tho Community has pone wrong. Tho wrong2oor seen 3 to have fallen suddenly, llut he has not. llo has in every case, we may be sure, been preparing to fall for I'ears. No man plunges from tho heights of irtuo to the depths of vice, as one might rall over a precipice. Tho progress of corruption in the soul is secret and imperceptible. It begins in tho first infidelity io duty. Its course is insidious. It nibbles and gnaws ut conscience. It confutes the moral sense. It makes evii seem trood and good appear evil. Every man has some infirmity which he loves to coddle. This acts as a committee on Strangers and introduces hirn to vice under some fair-sounding alias. By degrees this acquaintance, entered upon with scrupulous reserve, deepens into intimacy. Then it throws oil" all restraint and rushes to gratification. Thus little by little is a man prepared to close in with temptation, and when it presents itself he is often surprised at his readiness and facility in evil. The poet l'ope has put it into a classic verso: Vice i a inoiWer of so frightful mieu, -., to Ixa hate 1, ned but to be seeu ; Yt t srpti too oft. familiar w th her face. We fcrit endure, then p.ty, ttoeu omlrao;. Henry Simon, in tho Britith Weekly, fives this illustration of the safetyof those who abide in the shadow of the Almighty : Jesus Christ is r.o protection against storms, but He is a perfect security in them. I once entered a village lying at the foot of a giant mountain, speaking one day to the villagers, 1 asked if they Lad many storms during the year. "Oh, yes," answered on4. "It there is a storm anywhere around it seems to find us out." "How do you account lor it?" I esked. "Well." was the response, "our wise ones Pay it is owing to the mountain which towers above tho village. If he happens to fee a cloud anywhere on the horizon he t-eckons it to come and rest on his brow. "We viilager3 call It putting on his nightcap." "Have you many accidents from lightning?" "Why, that is the btrange part of it not one. We have seen tho lightning strike the mountain 100 times, and a grand fizht it was, but nobody has been killed down here. We have the thunder, which shakes the houses and frightens tho women and children, but which hurts no tne. and we have the downpour. The fertility of our neighborhood, which you tourists so much admire, is due to the thunder storms." When Jesus became incarnate He rose above the plane of humanity like a mounttin tho hill whence came our strength. When hurricanes tore along and hurled themselves in all their fury against lliin, Ie gathered tho lightnings into His own breast and left us only the thunder shower. "Ho shall come down like rain Da tho mown grass, like showers that water the earth." A minister had an elder who was usually late at his appointments. Iy and by lie made an effort and appeared nt several successive mec tinzs a tnlle ahead of time. The pa? tor thought it right to notice and commend the change. "Well, Brother McKay, you are first at last. You were behind beiore. I'm glad to see you early of late." Ihirin? 100 Christianity in the United Ftates made a net gain of 1,0S9,S.j3 converts, 4.S07 preachers and 8,404 churches. The financial gain was also notable. Christianity is a rising, not a Betting sun. If good people would only make their goodn?s3 agreeable and smile instead of frowning in their virtue, how many would they win to the cause. Archhirhop L'thrr. lie who carries about a face which sava: "Can I servo you?" Who seems to eay to every passer-by: "If you have a question to ask, here is on ho acknowledge your claim to a kind and helpful answer." "Who maintains an aspect of sincere sympathy with everybody's pleasure and Borrows. "Who listens patiently to tha tedious tale that unloads some breaking heart. Who shakes hands as if ho really meant, and who really does mean "God bless you!" Who gives without hope or wish of return, and who vanquishes irritation by Belf-control he is eurely making himself the servant of humanity, and is interpreting Christ to men. Anon. It is a principal part of goodness for a man to be willing to be pood. S iwca. The lover of freedom is willing?, ii necessary, to sacrifice himself for the country, but the revolutionist has seldom any ether oDject but to sacrifice hia country to himself. AHvn. nch as thy words are, such will thy affertions be esteemed ; and such be thy deeds as are thy affections; and inch thy life as thy deeds. Sorratet. Lenity will operate with greater force

To forgive a thing is to forth-gire by your own act and free will, to give it forth from you that it may go clean oui from you out of sight and out of mind. Charles Ulan ford. Learn the best way of doing good. Goldsmith, In a prominent German scientific journal called Promethru occurs the following notable admission: "Today materialism is already a conquered standpoint. The exclusiveism so common in modern scientific specialism is rejected. It has long since been recognized that natural science, philosophy and religious emotion can well exist and be cultivated together, and that the science of nature, however euro it may be of its own problems, retreats modestly to the rear whenever problems are proposed, whoso decision belongs, in the first instance, to human feeling. Thus, instead of ignoring a realm beyond the limits of science, it is distinctly accepted." This is all that sensible believers ever contended, for science is grand in its place. But its p'nee is not as a substitute for God and the bible and the soul. There are very, very few of us, remarks

Alexander McLaren, that dare show our inmost helves to our nearest and dearest ones. The most silvery lako that lies sleeping amidst beauty, itself the very fairest spot of all, when drained oil, shows uly ooze and filthy mud, and all manner of creeping abominations in the slime. I wonder what we should see if our hearts were, so to speak, drained oh, and the very bottom layer of everything brought into the liiffit? Ah, let us go to God and ask Him to keep us from secret ems. Go to Him and ask Him to root out of you the misrhi -is that you do not know are there. Live huniblv and self-distrusttullv, and feel thaUyour strength is this: "Hold Thou me up, and I phall be saved." Here is a message from Mr. GlaJstono to young men : "Lc sure that every one o' you lia his place and vocation on this earth and that it rests with you to find it. Do not believe those who too lightly say nothing succeeds liko success. Effort, honest, manful, humble e"ort, succeeds by its reflected action, especial!' in vouth, better than success, which, indeed, too easily won and too early pained not seldom eerves, like winning the fir5t throw of the die, to blind and stupefy. Be thorouzh in all you do. Work onwards and work upwards and may theblessing of the most High soothe your cares, clear your vision and crown your labors. "Did you ever see a counterfeit ten-dol lar bill?" "Yes." "Why was it counterfeited?" "Because the genuine bill was worth counterfeiting." "Did you ever see a ecrap of brown pnper counterfeited ?"

FARM AND IIOUSE AFFAIRS,

MAKING EXPERIMENTS ON THE FARM. Experiment With Cropt Experiments With Fdloc Brief Illute to the Farmrr Among the I'oultry A Budget of Good Recipes. "With the beginning of spring, and as early as possible, the matter of making experiments on the farm should receive consideration on the part of every farmer. The experiment stations are doing valuable work in giving facts and in educating the farmers to a knowledge of the requirements of crops, but all the work that can be performed by tho stations is but an insignificant factor compared with that which can be done by the farmers themselves. The stations are limited to certain climates and Boils, and many of them can only give their attention to a few important subjects, but the farmer can test for himself in many directions, as his work pertains to his own farm only, and he is in no manuer dependent on the conditions that aftect the farms of his neighbors. There are annually introduced upon the market varieties of all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and tho farmer is puzzled more over the large number than from a lack of knowledge of those that are superior to the older kinds. To substitute some new variety for one that has been tried may largely affect the crop, either by increasing production or entailing a loss, and in no ca6e can tho results be anticipated by comparison with crops grown elsewhere, owing to the variations of soils and other causes. The farmer should never venture too largely with new substitutes, but should test all seeds and plants not only as to their advantages as varieties but on different soils, different modes of cultivation and ditlerent kinds of manures and fertilizers. He must learn the requirements of the variety, for it is the key to success. So matter" how superior a variety may be, it demands certain methods of treatment that are necessary to a realization of all the claims that may be made in its favor. A single point gained by observation, may be the turning from loss to success. There is work abundant in the matter of testing and feeding of stock. The individual characteristics of the animals, and even their physiological conditions cannot bo studied too closely. A year's experiments may demonstrate that a mistake has been made in the selection of tho breeds, and that certain changes will be advantageous. Hut tests aro not conclusive when rr.ado for a short period only. Some animals are more profitable at certain reasons than at other?, and some will gi'0 better results on green or dry .'oods than may bo apparent Tests in feeding different foods, and for certain results, as well as giving due consideration to the breeding of each animal, when carefully conducted will give more valuable information to the farmer than can bo gained for hioi by experiments trade elecwhere at the experiment stations. Among the Poultry. Tush the early hatched chickens by liberal feeding. In many cases it will pay to raise feed especially for j-our poultry. Always separate any fowls that show any indication of sickness. Ducks and geese can be plucked now whenever the feathers are ripe. Oats are a good feed to mako bone and muscle, but not for egg production. It is rarely the cas9 that a good laying breed will be the best as a table fowl. Good pasturage is almost indispensable in raising ducks and geese profitably. A change of food is desirable, as the fowls tire of one kind if given too long. Under no conditions should the young fowlB be fed along with the older ones. The brooder must always be kept eo warm that the fowls will not crowd in it. If the fowls refuse their feed, or do not eat it up clean, let them miss a meal or two. A little flaxseed meal will be found valuable to add to the regular morning feed. Even incubator chickens will be the better ior running out on warm, pleasant days Care must always be taken not to crowd the young poultiy in too close quarters at night. One object in feeding is to get an increase in 6ize as much as possible, but at a low cost. If from any cauao any of the chickens pet stunted the quicker they are marketed the better. Pin in young chickens can often be cured by mixing a little black or cayenne pepper in their food. When esgs alone are wanted the Spanish are a good breed as they lay a large white egg and never set. If the poultry must be kept confined part of the run should be spaded up daiiy for the hens to scratch in. The best proiit for raising ducks for ket is in having them rely to sell when they are twelve weeks old." I'ekia ducks, if well fed and cared for, will average 140 eggs in a year, which is enough to give a good profit. "Wire cloth is a good material for doors and windows during the summer, when plenty of ventilation is needed. 1 Guinea fowls are not a good market fowl b' any incuns, but they lay a largo number of eggs and are a good table fowl. Even with young chickens there are few materials that are better than good corn meal for fattening; even a few days' feeding of it will be of benefit. "Until warm, settled weather at least it will bo best to close the doors of the poultry house every night. Very little ventilation will do for a while yet. liens that are two years old and are not good layers had better be fattened and marketed as soon as possible; they are aa expense and return no income. A row or two of sun Mowers planted along with the corn will be found profitable to use in making a good variety of feed, especially during the winter. ave tho egg shells, put them in the oven and burn them brown; then rn&xh them up fine and mix with the fed. It is healthy end beneficial to the fowls. Broken grain, like cracked wheat or corn, millet seed or something of this kind, is better and healthier for young chickens than cornmeal or wheat middlings. Illnta to tlio Farmer. There is no young couple who cannot, if they wish, earn and pay for a farm in a few years time ami be independent all their lives and hand down to their children a valuable property. Xorthu-ettern Agriculturitt. The farmer takes not only cost but his living out of his receipts before he begins to count his profit. The merchant counts as profit the diilerence between the buying and selling price, less the cost of tho transaction, and then lives on the profit. A. X. Hyatt, at the Wisconsin dairymen's state convention, said: A young man when milking a heifer for the first

time, should be on his good behavior as he would bo if hia "best drl" and the minister were standing by to see him do the job. A Michigan man who keeps accurate and careful accounts, finds that silage can be packed for 75 cents a ton which includes coat of raising the fodder and that a steer can be carried through the winter in better order on five tons costing $3.75 than with two tons or $20 worth of hay. The OhioCreek cheese factory in Gunnison county, Colorado, made this year, up to the 1st of December, 40,000 pounds of cheese, besides 125 pounds of butter a week. Furthermore, a number of hogs were fattened from what "was left over after the butter and cheese were made. This is a No. 1 record. Among the gooseberries, Industry is thought by some to be the best English gooseberry yet introduced. It is of vigorous upright growth, and a great cropper, and shows no signs of mildew; berries of largest size, often one and one-half inches in diameter and of excellent flavor, pleasant and rich; color when fully ripe, dark red. Mr. O. S. Bliss of Vermont gives some pretty strong evidence in the New York Tribune to show that the strength of manure docs not wash away to any considerable amount, even on quite steep sidehills. He says the color is no evidence of the presence of fertilizing material, which is very rapidly deposited if taken up at all by the surface water. In the experiments made at the Wisconsin station to make 100 pounds of gain with lambs required 8( 0 pounds of sweet skimmed milk, twenty-six pounds of oats and sixty pounds of green feed. To make 100 pounds of gain with pigs, under the same conditions, required Go4 pounds of sweet skimmed milk and 193 pounds of cornmeal and shorts. Meet sugar is made in Germany and Franco at the low cost of 1.5 cent per pound. According to the Sugar Jkct the annual consumption of sugar in this country is about fifty-seven pounds per capita; it was only 43.37 in lk75, eo the increase has been 13.6 pounds, representing 7.6 pounds annually more than Great Britain consumed during the same interval. Unless rich ground is closely covered with useful plants it is quite certain to produce weeds. Nothing surpasses clover for smothering weeds. If sown thickly and stock is kept off from it after the mowing, so that some of the seed from the 6econd crop will be scattered, it will gain complete possession of the field to the exclusion of the weeds. X. Y. UorhL The milk of sheep is quito largely used in some of the old countries for cheebomaking, says the National Strxkman. Sardinia makes over one million pounds of this cheese annually. In bo cue of the Italian factories tho" milk of cows, sheep and goats is mixed in making cheese. There is a email sheep cheese factory in Tennessee. The article is reputed to be "rich and delicious." Running a dairy of cows so as to have them dry in the winter, and have nothing to sell from them when butter and cheese are highest, i just about as smart, financially, for a dairy farmer, as it would be for a manufacturer of reapers to so gauge his business that be would not havo a reaper to sell in the early summer, and could only fill orders late in the fall when the snow was flying and there was no reaping to do.

Salt Fork Fritters Cut the meat thin and freshen it, fry it delicately and tben dip into a batter prepared as for griddle cakes; fry each one a delicate brown and serve with sour apples sliced and fried in a little of the pork gravy.' White Cake Tne whites of four eggs well beaten but not 6tiir, twocupfulsof sugar, one-half cupful of butter, one cupful of sweet milk, three cupfuls of flour, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder ; mix well and bake carefully.

Bowl Cake One pint bowlful of 6ugar, one pint bowlful of raisins stoned, one bowlful of sweet milk, three bowlfuls of flour, one cupful ot molasses, one-half bowlful of butter, one teaspoonful of soda, add spice of all kinds, mix well and bake carefully; thin quantity makes two loaves. Corn Bread One quart of corn meal, one pint of flour, one pint of thick sour milk, one egg, two tablepoonfuls of molasses, one teaspoonful of soda; mix nil together, adding tho white of the egg well beaten; last, steam one hour in a two-quart pail, and bako ten or fifteen minutes to brown. Jumbles One cupful of butter, three cupfuls of sugar, four eggs, one teaspoonful of baking powder, mix with milk and roll out very thin; cut into small cakes just before removing them from the oveu, shake over each cake coarse sugar, watch them carefully and remove them from the oven when delicately browned. Light Breakfast Bread One quart of milk, three-fourths of a quart of flour, half a yeast cake, dissolved; heat one-third of the milk and scald with it half a pint of the flour and a desertspoonful of butter; when this batter becomes cool add the remainder of the veast, half a tablespoonful of salt, half a tablespoonful of sugar and flour enough to mako it quite stiff; knead it emotth and leave it to rise all night. This quanty will make two small loaves and a pan of small biscuit. Orange Pudding Peel and slice four large oraDges and place them in a pudding-dish; sprinkle over thom one cupful of sugar, beat the yolks of three eggs, one-half a cupful of sugar, three tableppoonfuls of cornstarch toeether, and add one quart of boiling milk; stir it carefully until it thickens and let it cool before pouring over the oranges ; beat the whites of the eggs stiff, brown It a little in the oven and drop it by spoonfuls on the custard; serve cold with delicate cake. Meat Pie Line a deep baking dish with a paste rolled quarter of an inch thick; take any cold meat, cut it in email nieces and fill the dish nearly full; should the meat be very lean, add a large piece of butter, pepper and salt: add as much water as the dish will hold, shako in considerable flour and cover it; finish the edge with a roll and cut openings in the upper crust for the 6team to escape. If a medium-sized pie, bako on hour. Any kind of cold roaet or boiled meat is good used in this way, and a mixture of veal and pork makes a delicious pie. To Broil Sheep's Kidneys Tako a sharp knife and cut each kidney open lengthways, bnt do not separate them ; skin thern and put a tiny skewer under tho white part of each to keep them flat; heat the gridiron a little, rub it over with butter and place the kidneys on it, open part down, and broil ovr a clear fire ; broil carefully on both sides, season with pep per and salt and put a piece of butter in the center of each and a few drops of Worstershire sauce, and place each kidney on a piece of well-buttered toast; they must be served as hot as possible. Pig s kidneys are prepared in th6 same way. The rtepubMenn Idea. White Countr Democrat You can now bur nineteen pounds of sugar for a dollar, but when you reach into one pocket for ti e dollar you must also go down into the other one for the eighteen cents with which to pay the refiner who made the sugar. This is the republican idea of tariff reform.
