BY HOPE DARING.
Mr. Joseph Busby eyed the sky as he leisurely walked from the barn to the house. The morning sun was veiled by a fleecy mist, while low in the southwest a bank of dark gray clouds was visible. | :
After his prolonged sé¢rutiny, Mr. Busby pondered the matter. It was not until he had washed his hands and face on the back kitchen porch and entered the room wWhere his wife was taking up the breakfast, that he said: ‘“Pears like it might ramn.” .
“That is what you always say if there’s a cloud in the sky,” Mrs. Busby said tartly. “I’ll thank you to lift that boiler on, just the same.” “Goen to wash? It's most certain to rain.”
“Let it rain. I haven’t anv patience with such weather,” and Mrs, Busby rushed down cellar after a pitcher of cream. : .
Her husband never hurried. He put the boiler carefully on the stove, built up a good fire, and, in obedience to a gesture from his wife, took his place at the table.
Mr. Busby always thought before he spoke. This time, after a brief but earnest-blessing, he devoted himself to ham, eggs and potatoes for five minutes before saying in his usual drawling voice:
“That was a powerful sermon of the elder yisterday, Mirandy. I always thought that text about Ephraim been jined to his idols might apply to some of us. Most everybody has idols of some sort or other.” ;
Mrs. Busby stirred her golden brown coffee reflectively. ‘Perhaps so. I hope the people who needs it took Mr. Ranton’s fine application. As for me I once had an idol, but God toolk' it.”
There was a pause. The thoughts of both husband and wife traveled to the parlor where hung the picture of a child, a wee maiden with laughing blue eyes and dimpled arms. It was the picture of little Leah, their only child, whose death twenty years before had left the old farm home desolate.
‘Mr. Busby’s heart was too deeply stirred by memories of his child to speak. But when a dash of rain came agdainst the window pane his wife exclaimed crossiy: : “There, it's raining. And if Idon’t wash Monday nothing goes right all the week.” ;
‘’Tain’t an idol, isit, Mirandy?” The good man of the house pushed. back from the table. ‘‘Now, it don’t seem jest right to be so sot as you air on doen your work exactly as you want to.. It ’pears to me it might be an idol.” : : ;
“What an idea! Just look there, Joseph. See that dirty spot on the tablecloth where you’ve rubbed your old coat sleeve. This tablecloth was clean yesterday morning and now it must go in the wash, making three this week. I do wish you would be more careful.” : el
“Why, now, Mirandy, I do try to be careful. - T wish you would use colored tablecloths. I thought you bought some turkey red ones.” . / “Yes, I did buy them,” and a look of disgust crossed the face opposite Mr. Busby. ‘‘Butl want it understood I am not going to use ’em. I will work my fingers to the bone before I'll set my table with anything but a white cloth,” }:md she stroked the glossy linen approvingly.: : . *1 know, Mirandy, but maybe that’s another idol. You see, you think a sight of such things.”
“Now, Joseph Busby, if you are goy ing to talk such nonsense as that you better get to work. Just see there. The sun is shining. So you see it was right for me to wash after all.” | “Maybe so,” and the eyes of the simple-hearted man softened: as he looked through the east windowat the sun-kissed young foliage from which the rain drops were yet falling. ““Maybe so, Mirandy. You 'air an uncommon woman and have been a good wife to me for twenty-seven years. You hain’t got many idols, Mirandy, not half as many as I have. But this always thinken your way is best—" ‘*See here, Joseph Busby,” there was an undertone of almost fierceness in her voice. *I think such twisting of the Scriptures is sinful. 1f I have idols, I can tend to ’em, that’s all,’®and Mrs. Busby strode into her . bedroom and shut the door violently. y
When she returned to the kitchen she was in possession of the field. Joseph had gone to his’worlk.” . “*High time,” she sniffed; ‘‘idols, indeed!” :
She put her clothes to soak, and earrying her dishes into the pantry began washing them. [ler thoughts were not pleasant ones; the frown on her face told that. The window before which she stood was covered with a thick growth ‘of morning glory vines. A few of the daintily twisted buds, unheeding’the , threatening of storm, had opened.their pink, blue and white cups and peered in at the flushed 1� of the worker. But Mrs. Busby was too busy, too disturbed’'by her husbaund’s words to notice their beauty. | o “I don’t see what possessed Joseph to say that,” she said, as she began rubbing her clothes. ‘‘l gave up the only idol I ever had twenty, years ago. I—‘” ® f A o ke S % . She stopped abruptly. .*oOf course, it's that letter,” she went on, after a brief pause. ‘“‘But he is wrong. Tt isn’t idols that keep me front doing my—" Again she stopped. She had almost said duty, A week before a letter had
come from a little town in Kansas to Mr. Busby. The letter contained news of thedeath of Mrs. Emma Hale, a distant cousin of Joseph. Mrs. Hale was a widow and left one child, a boy. two years old. The writer, a neighbor of the dead woman, went on to say she could care for the child no longer, and if his relatives did not come for him he would be sent to the poorhouse. Joseph pondered the matter a day and a night. He then coolly proposed sending for the child and adopting it. His wife flatly refused. What—a child, a twoyear old baby, to make litter on her clean floors and upset her orderly plan of life?
*You must be crazy, Joseph,” she said, severely. ‘‘lf it was a girl, now, and big enough to be out from under foot, I might think of it. But there hain’t no use talking about it.” Joseph Busby rarely opposed his wife, even in so small a matter as talking when she bade him be silent. However, this time he said:
*“We air growen old, Mirandy. The baby would be something to love us.”
These words came back to Mrs. busby as she bent over the wash tub. Did she and Joseph need something to love them? She thought of the rambling old house with its many rooms, of the fertile acres surrounding it, and of the comfortable bank account. Then her mind wandered tg the distant cemetery where a white marble cross marked her baby’s grave. =~ *I couldn’t give Leah’s place to another,” she whispered. ‘‘And vet he might make a place for himself. Oh, my baby, I miss her still.” Withdrawing her hands from the suds, Mrs. Busby crossed the sitting room and entered the parlor. No one knew, not even her husband, how many troublesome questions the mother settled before her child’s picture.
She opened the blinds and looked long and earnestly at the laughing baby face. ; ‘Do you want me to, dear?” she asked tearfully. ‘Do you want me to take a noisy, troublesome boy into this home? Is it an idol, Leah, my wanting everything so quiet and otderly?”’
Ten minutes later she was back at her washing. The parlor blinds were closed and all things were as they had been excepting Mrs. Busby’s eyes; there was a new light in their gray depths. At half-past nine the last clothes were on the line. Returning from hanging them out, Mrs. Busby found a mneighbor, Mr. Vance, at the door. | :
*l’ve been down to the station,” he said, ‘and the eight o’clock train brought a baby for you, or Busby, rather.” -
**A what!” demanded Mrs. Busby, catching her breath. - ‘A baby.” It was plain to see that Mr. Vance was enjoying the situation. ‘A woman who was going easton a visit brought it from Kansas. Said it belonged to some of Busby’s foliks. She lefv it in care of the ticket agent and he sent it over by me. -It's down to the road in my wagon, and a trunk, too. The little fellow has cried most ever since the woman left him.”
Mrs. Busby took down her green gingham sunbonnet and prepared to follow him out to the wagon without a word. L ; A
“Was you expecting it?” Mr. Vance asked, somewhat disappointed at her quietness. ‘
‘‘Not to day,” she replied, briefly. It was a plump, but tear-stained little face that met her eager gaze. There were great blue eyes; a rosy mouth and closely-curling yellow hair. But the child was unmistakably dirty and began ecrying again in a piteous fashion. .
Mrs. Busby held up her arms. *‘Come to auntie, dear,” she said coaxingly. ‘You want some bread and miik, don’t you, and to see the dear little chickens?” :
‘At the same leisurely gait of the morning Mr. Busby again traversed the path from the barn to the house. Miranda’s line of snowy clothes drying in the sun brought to his mind the conversation of the morning, but he expected no reference to it from his wife. A surprise awaited him. The table was laid for three, and at the guest’s place stood a clumsy little high chair that for twenty years had stood empty in an upper room. And on the floor sat. & happy faced child surrounded by clothes-pins, empty bottles, a disused candlestick and a like collection of impromptu. playthings.
“Who—who is that, Mirandy?”
‘“‘Joey Hale Busby,” was Miranda’s prompt reply, and picking up the child she put it in her husband’s arms. “There, Joey dear, make friends with Uncle Joseph. He is the dearest little fellow,” she went on, ‘‘so cunning and not a bit afraid.” “But 1 don’t understa#td,” and Joseph Busby’s arms closed tenderly around the little orphan. The story was soon told. *
- *Of course, we'll keep him, and de the best we can by him,” Mrs. Busby said by way of conclusion. “Dinner is ready and the green peas and custard pie will taste good to little Joey. 1 guess you were right ’bout my idols, Joseph,” stopping to fasten a towel around the child’s neck in lieu of a bib, ‘*but they are overthrown. Now I’'ll try and not make an idol of Joey.” “You air a remarkable woman, Mirandy,” Mr. Busby said, wiping his eyes. ‘I have always said you wasa remarkable woman, axfil I'm a leetle afraid I am maken an idol of you.”’— N. Y. Observer. :
A Bicycler's End.
In the morning how swiftly he sped up the boulevard on his glittering wheel. At night they brought him home, with his life crushed out by the same blundering ice wagon that had wrecked the glistening steed. Bitterly she wept. : > **Madam,” said the white-haired minister, with tremulous voice, ‘“‘do not weep. Mind thee, thy man is resting now.”..
“Nay, nay,” she wailed, remembering how he spent the Sabbath awheel, and not in sober worship, ‘‘nay, nay, 1 fear me he is scorching yet.”—N. Y. World. :

Thiv rARMING WURLD.
SALTING THE COWS. £Jeos 02 T S : Keep the Salt Where the Animals Can |+ Help Themselves Kreely.
Scatter salt in the eow pastures or in their feed boxes once a week or once a fortnight, and you strike their appetites for it, hit or miss. Butkeep it where the creatures can lick it every time they desire, and youare giving an opportunity for nature to gauge the requirements of the system more surely than'is possible in any othes way. Cows cannot keep healthy and thrive without salt, and it is a positive cruelty tothem to deprive them of a full supply, and the only sure way of ascertaining whether or not they have a full supply is by keeping a supply where they can help: themselves. I'acilities for a constant and free access to salt should be found inevery stable. One of the first essentials in preparing food eof - any kind for any kind of stock 'is: to have it wholesome; and another important essential is to have it palatable. In choosing salt to use in the dairy care must be taken to have only that of the best quality. While rock salt is probably the best and cheapest that can be used for the stock to eat, only the finest and purest should be used in the making of the butter and cheese where it must be incorporated with or into them. BSalt deposits in a crude state are more or less impregnated with mineral impurities that in mahy cases are highly detrimental to the saline-keep-ing qualities. e
The difference in the cost isso small that'in all cases it will prove economy to use nothing but the best, and then to take all reasonable care to keep clean and pure. Keep salt where the cows can help themselves daily in order to maintain the best health, and ufe only the purest and best saltin the dairy in order to maintain the best quality of product.—N. J. Shepherd, in Karmers' Voice.
RIPENING THE CREAM
On This Operation Depends the Success of
v the Butter Maker. + The more thoroughly and uniformly the cream is ripened before churning, the better the quality of the butter and the more there will be of it. Whenever two or more lots of cream of uneven ripeness are churned together, more or less of the butter remains in the milk, and is, in a measure, lost. Whenever a fresh skimming of milk is added to older cream the whole should be stirred together, using a long thin paddle so as to stir the whole mass from the bottom, mixing thoroughly together, so' that all will ripen evenly.
Cream should never be allowed to become sour. Slightly acid is the right condition. Usually no cream should be added inside of twelve hours before churning. as under average conditions it requires about this length of time to ripen properly. - The ripening should be done ina moderately cool place, where an even temperaturé can be maintained and where the air is pure and fresh. ;Milk and cream are very susceptible toodors of all kinds, -and under no condition should be exposed to foul odors of any kind. The proper handling and ripening of the cream is a very important factor in the making of a first-class guality of butter, and good care must be talken in every detail todo the right thing at the right timne.—St. Louis Republic. :
A CREAMERY CRANE.
The Designer of the Device Calls It a Strength-Saver.
A strength-saver for the creamery that takes in several hundred cans of milk daily, is worth having. Here it is: A rough wooden c¢rane that swings a big tin funnel out of the door where the cans are usually lifted in. It is swung against a stationary timber and hookea to it, thus giving the teamster a solid place torest the neck of each can while emptying it. It saves the cans from getting bruised also. A stiff iron hoop is fastened to the top bar of the crane and the funnel head sets in it. Where the funnel’ tube passes the crane standard a strong leather strap \,——~_. == «»Wi/ . U : : i CREAMERY CRANE. ' is passed over it and buttoned on to a screen, thus binding it firmly. The mills lows into the weigh can instead of being carried there and dumped into it. When the door is closed it is swung in from the weather.—Orange Judd Farmer. :
HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.
ANY common tub or tight wooden box, about 20 inches deep, will do for a cheese tub. :
Tue purpose of cutting the curd, in cheese-making, is to facilitate the escape of the whey. ; Berore adding the rennet in cheesemaking, stir in the coloring matter, first diluting it with water. WE would say to an inquirer that an ountfit for cheese-making for say 25 cows will cost from &80 to $9O. THE cow peeds more care than any other animal or the farm, and she must have it or she will fail to pay a pofis. o . : :
ExpeRIENCE has shown that when milking tubes are used the yield of milk is less than when the milking is done by hand. v : ; IT has been noticed that when one teat is milked at a time the milk from the second teat is the richest; that from the first teat the next; that from the third the next and milk from the last is poorest. —Farmers’ Voice. ' The Deterloration of Seed. There is such a thing as the deterioration of seed, and ‘it is a matter which should n:t be overlooked. Tt would be well to get new seed occasionally from' eisewhere, but care should Ve taken to show whether the variety is suitable for the soil and climate where it is to bs grown. Tt will not do to make a changs of seed unless done intelligently and with a knowledge of all the conditions essential to success. : S 2
MUSAKOOM CULTURE.
An ludustry Which fs Attractive as Well
as Profitable.
It is a- mystery why mushrooms are, not- more widely appreciated in this country as an article of food, for it isa well-hnown fact that the economie value of mushroom diet is placed second to meat alone. Were the people of Russia and parts of Germany to see our woods and clearings during the autumn rains, they would feast on the rich food which in most places here goes to waste. Indeed, it is the epjcures who appreciate this food and are not slow to pay fancy prices for it in the market. ;
During th e season when mushrooms can be gathered, people neglect the butcher to u considerable extent. Mushrooms, as has been stated by Prof. Palmer in one of his works, make the same use of the air we breathe as is made by animals; when cooked they resemble no other form of vegetable food, and in decay their odor in some cases cannot be distinguished from putrid meat. Certain it is the parasollike growth used for food, and which springs up in a night, is not a plant in any sense. It more nearly resemblesa flower, bearing, as it does, tle spores that are analogous to seeds. The true plant which feeds, grows and finally prepares to flower, is the network of whitish threads which form what is commonly known as the ‘‘spawn.,” or, botanically, the mycelium of the mushroom.
It is to the garden, or indoor culture of the common mushroom, agaricus campestris, that we desire here to call attention. There is an ease and novelty about this business which should make it attractive, not only to all amateurs for home use, but to commercial gardeners mnear all large toivns. The profits are large, in comparison with the outlay of material and labor necessary. Flifty to sixty cents a pound wholesale can be obtained without the least difficulty. Itis necessary to success that they be grown in very rich® soil, the indis-

Any .place, such as a cellar, shed, greenhouse pit, space under greenhouse Dbenches, ete., where either naturally or by the use of artificial means a temperature of from 59 to 60 degrees may be had, will answer. Good drainage must be provided; hence a shelf or series of shelves or benches may readily be employed to make beds oh. : The manure should not be allowed to get saturated with rains, but should be kept fairly dry until it is ready to form a bed, and all the long straw or other litter should be shaken out of it. Manure can be used to grow them in only by turning it over repeatedly to getrid of its greatest heat. Usually it is preferable to mmix from one-fourth its bulk to equal its bulk with fresh loam or good garden soil. .Of course, sufficient material should be ready before commencing to make the beds. The latter may be of almost any size or shave desired, but experience proves that to have them from 2 to 4 feet wide and about 18 to 20 inches deep answers the best. Where there is plénty of room, it is a good plan to make the beds more or less sloping at the sides. Beds might also be made in old tubs, or in casks sawed in two. By adopting this latter plan, the vessels could, after being filled, be carried into the cellars or other parts of dwelling houses where one would not like to® bring in the manure in its rough form. In forming the beds the manure and soil should be packed firmly together, layer by layer, with a mallet, or something similar. A thermometer should then be placed at some central point of the bed, its bulb being kept some three-or four inches below the surface. 'The probability is that the temperature in’ the bed will rise for a few days and then begin to lower. ‘When it reaches about 80 degrees the bed is ready to spawn. Spawn can be purchased in bricks of all seedsmen to make a start with, but when mushroom culture is once commenced plenty of spawn can be had at all times for planting new beds. The bricks or pieces of spawn should be broken to half the size of the hand lengthwise, or less, before inserting in the bed. These pieces should be placed: 3 or 4 inches deep and 10 to I 2 inches apart. About ten days after spawning spread over the surface of the bed some 2 to 3 inches of nice, fresh loam, and then wait for your crop. This should begin to show a few weeks later, varying somewhat according to the temperature. i '
Sometimes it is possible to dispense with watering the beds, this being only necessary when the surface gets quite dry. ,;rhen water carefully, using water heated to about 100 degrees. By making up beds ‘at intervals' of eight or ten weeks throughout the year, a ‘cbntinuous supply of mushrooms may be secured. As a rule, however, mushrooms grown in greenhouses or other buildings are liable during the hottest part of summer or early fall to get spoiled by the maggots of various flies, so that it. may be as well to have an ‘off” season, say the months of July and August. It is to be hoped that the consumption of this valuable food-article will greatly inerease in the near future. — Ohio Farmer. N ;
Dairymen Who Make Money.
Nearly all of the most sueccensful farmers are those who make a specialty of milk production, and they are the ones who get rid of mortgages and finally ‘bring their farms up to the highest condition of fertility, The best dairymen are those who discard the scrub and use cows of the highest producing capacity. When the herds are improved sp as to increase the mille supply, the cost is reduced, be: cause fewar cows,’'less labor and’ smailer expeuse for shelter will ins crease the profits. “ i

LESSON NOTES.
1. “AnAngelof the Lord” was some special visible manifestation of God. The phrase is used nearly sixty times to designate the angel of God’s presence. *“‘From Gilgal,” the first encampment near Jericho, ‘‘to Bochim,” iprobably near Shiloh, where the tabernacle was. Perhaps it means that the last message from God was at Gilgal, and now His next one was at Bochim. ‘And said:” There was a general assembly of the Israelites in this place, to whom He spoke (v. 35 Perhaps the reason was some complaint from the people that they were annoyed and troubled by the old inhabitants still left in strongholds. “I made you,” etc: This was to make plain to the people .who it was that was speaking. It gave the authority back of the message. ‘I will never break my covenant with you:” Whatever they had done, God had been true to His own promises. His part of the covenant had been strictly kept, as all their past history proved. If they were not securely settled in Canaan, it was their own fault, not God’s. 2. ‘““And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants:” This was a part of the covenant on the part of the people. Their duty was to wholly drive them out and to ‘‘throw down their altars,” root out the old religion, so that they would not be tempted. to worship other gods. ‘‘Ye have not obeyed My voiee,” though that was the condition.on which alone they could prosper. (Josh 23: 11-18.) . . 3. “Wherefore I also said,” rather ‘I have now said,” I protest, I declare. “I will not drive them out from before yow” I will no more work wonders as in the past, and give you the necessary aid. ‘‘As thorns,” annoyances, trials, vexations. ‘‘A snare,” tempting to sin and leading to the punishment of their sin.
4. “The people lifted up their voice and wept:” in view ot the consequences of their sin. They seem to have had more sorrow for the consequences than for their sin. IHence the evils were not withdrawn by God. . 5. ‘‘Called the name of that place ‘Bochim,” that lis, ‘“The Weepers.” “And they sacrificed.” They held religious services. .Doubtless they were sincere, both in their sorrow and their worship. DBut the effect was rather on the surface than in the heart.
The Death of Joshua.—Here begins a new scction of the book of Judges. The story returns to the last chapter of the book of Joshua, verse 28.
6. ‘“Let the people,” from their assembly at Shechem, after their solemn promise to obey God. 7.'“Served the Lord all the days of Joshua:” So deep was the impress of this great and good man upon the nation. ' ““All the days of the elders:” These elders would be all that were old enough to take part in the war of Canaan, according to Judges 3:1, 2. “Seen all the great works of the Lord:” This reveals another powerful source of impression upon the character ‘of men—the experience of God’s wonderful works for the good of men. These two are among the mightiest moral forces for the progress of man. :
‘B. “The‘'servant of the Lord:” What a beautiful and noble epitaph for any man. ‘‘A hundred and ten years old:” As he was eighty-five, according to Josephus, when' he entered ' the promised land, he had lived there twentyfive years. ' ‘ 9. “‘Buried him , . , in Timnathheres:” (portion of the sun), called also, by transposing the letters, Timnathserah (portion of abundance). The sitnation is uncertain. Conder thinks it was at Kefr Ilaris, nine miles south of Shechem. ’
10. “All that generation:” The example and influence of the men who had experienced God's wonderful dealings lasted a long time. But new men grew up under new influences, and there was a change. 11. “And the children of Israel did evil:” They first forgot God (v. 10). Their faith lost its reality and power. The decay of faith is the prelude to the decay of morals. “In the sight of the Lord:” in the presence of His commandments, and in view of His works of goodness, and llis past ppnishments of sin. ““And served:” the true religion is a service of love and reverence, but all false religion is a service of superstition and terror. ‘“Baalim:” is an intensive plural, great lord, or supreme lord, like Elohim, the Hebrew word for God, which is in the plural. 12. “Provoked the Lord to anger:” Not passion, not vindictiveness, but indignation; an intense feeling against sin. Sin is directly opposed to the nature of God. :
16. ‘‘Nevertheless:” God punishes _His people, but He does not destroy them. As soon as His discipline has led them to repentance and to a better life he delivers them from the evils their sins have brourht upon them. ‘“‘The Lord raised up,” by endowing them . with the necessary qualities, ‘lecading ithem to the needful training, and summoning them to their work, ‘‘judges, which delivered them.” ;
