A Few Words about Horses.

Hay and oats make the best feed for
horses that are obliged to work hard and
regularly If the hay is cut fine and the
oats bruised or ground, the whole mixed
and moistened, the horse will eat his ra-
lions quicker, digest them sooner, and thus
have more time for resting and renewing
his power for labor. Farmers horses that
work little during winter time may be kept
cheaper by cutting and mixing bright straw
and hay in equal quantities, and adding a
ration of steamed potatoes or carrots. Colts
should be fed literally on good hay-bright
clover is best-and bruised oats; givethem
a roomy box stall in stormy weather and
during nights. Litter freely and do not
let the manure accumulate under them.
Sawdust or spent tan makes good and con-
venient bedding; in cities and villages
they are often cheaper than straw. Groom
horses well and let them have exercise ev-
cry day; run in the yard is excellent
See that stable floors over easements are
sound and strong. Arrange the feeding
racks so that dust and hay seed will not
fall into horses names or eyes; some horse
men build their managers too high, thus
forcing the animal to take an unnatural
and painful position when eating. Farm
horses that are not worked should have
their shoes taken off, those that are driven
on the road should be kept well shod.-

Going to Jesus.

Nearly three years ago, a noble steamer
was sinking with hundreds of persons on
board. Only one boat load was saved. As
a man was leaping into the tossing boat, a
girl who could not be taken into the boat,
and who knew that she would soon beswal-
lowed up in the deep, deep sea, handed
him a note saying:
Give this to my mother"
The man was saved. The girl, with hun
dreds of other persons, was drowned. The
mother had the note. What do you think
the little girl had written in it? Here are
her words:
Dear mother you must not grieve for
me- am going to Jesus"
Dear girl! What faith and courage she
must have had to write that note
She was going to Jesus through the
stormy waves of the angry sea, yet she wa:
not afraid That's the kind of faith you
need, my reader. Well, Jesus will give i
you if you ask him, for he says, Come
unto me-" Il will give you rest"

gone to make very beautiful. Let us al

Fastidious Hearing of the Gospel.

late Prof. Shepard has passage which so

finer in his volume of published sermons,
and it occurs to me that class of fastidi-
Gus and fashionable hearers, who are to be

Speaking of the motives which brings peo-
pie to the sanctuary, he says:
"Many 60 only to be pleased. If dis
course comes with sweet sounds to the
ear, and beautiful pictures to the eye, and

He then proceeds in the following bold
and imprisoned strain:

These great matters, plans and purposes
which engrossed the councils of the adora

A Beautiful Extract.

The Redeemer's birth was mean on earth
below; but it was celebrated with halle
ujahs by the heavenly hosts in the air
above; he had poor lodging, but q star
lighted visitants to it from distant coun-
tries. Never prince had such visitants so
conducted. He had not the magnificent
equipage that other kings have, but he was
attended with multitudes of patients, seek
ing and obtaining healing of soul and body.
There was more true greatness than if he
had been attended with crowd of princes.
He made the dumb that attended him sing
his praise, and the lame to leap for joy, the
deaf to hear his wonders, and the blind to
see his glory; he had no guard of soldiers
or magnificent retinue of servants; but, as
the centurian, that had both, acknowledg-
ed, health and sickness, life and death, and
all earthly power obeyed him; and death
and the grave burst not refuse to deliver up
their prey when he demanded it. He did
not walk upon tapestry; but when he walk
ed on the sea, the waters supported him
all parts of the creation, except sinful men
honored him as their Creator; he kept nc
treasure, but when he had occasion fol-
money, the sea sent it to him in the mouth
of a fish; he had no barns or cornfelds
but when he inclined to make feast, {
few loaves covered a sufficient table fol
thousands.

The Power of the Bible.

The chief duty of Professionalism is hence
with Scriptures. 1t is clearly to declare
and publish them abroad. Neither attacks
upon the Papacy, nor polemics against in
fidelity, are our most important work. If
we can only pour the light of the Scriptures
clear and in full orbed glory upon the
world, all the powers of Papacy will vanish
as the night before the morning. and the
forms of infdelity disappear as glowworms
cease to shine when the day has come. The
Bible does not need any defense, so much
as it needs proclamation. 1t defends it.
self wherever it is known. Deep in every
soul there dwells for ever witness to the
truth, whose clear eye and steady voice
will see and respond to it wherever it is
known. We do not need to implOre men
to believe the truth. We only need that
they shall adequately apprehend it, and
then we may defy them todeny it. And
/ thus, the Bible, as eternal truth, needs no
other argument for its support than itself
clearly preached.
There are defenders of the truth who
think it otherwise. They treat the Bible
as weakly infant, which must be bolster
ed up and carefully sustained, lest it fall
And.so they bring together their learning
and philosophy, their human reasoning
and research, which they use as proofs tc
keep the Bible up, trembling all the while
lest one of these should fail, and the truth
unsupported, sink to its hurt. But the BIZ
BILE disdains all these appliances. 1t is nc

How to MANAGE Cider

Two recipes that have been thoroughly
tried:

sufficiently to give it an agreeable taste,
put into suitable boiler--a large wash
boiler on a cooking stove will answer-and
with a moderate fire bring the liquor to the
boiling point. Put out the fire, and when
sufficiently cool, put it into bottles, cork it
up well, and any time thereafter you will
have a beautifully amber-colored liquid fit
for gods or men to drink. | have never
tried to store it in cask but see no reason
why it would not keep equally as well in
wood as in glass. The heating kills the
fermenting materials, and if carefully man
aged and not carried too far, gives no en-
pneumatic or other flavor.
Second.-Take first quality of cider as it
comes from the press, put it into good
clean oak barrels, and to every gallon of
juice add from two to three pounds of good
brown sugar. The sugar should be dissoly-
Cd in some Of the juice before being put
into the cask, after which it should be
thoroughly rounced up with stick or
broom handle, so that all may be properly
mixed and blended. Care should be taken
to have the casks full. Place the casks,

it is not too warm, and let them stand I'M

New York Mills, Syracuse, to be the best
as compared with its alternate package,
cured in the same dairy We have refer
red to these facts because we know the
genuine article to be good /; and as it is fur
nished much cheaper than the foreign or
imported salt, it is of interest for dairymen
to know it. A satisfactory evidence of
pure salt is its dryness, as the chlorides
cause salt to absorb and retain moisture.
In order that dairymen may be enabled to
judge somewhat of good dairy salt from
its appearance, in addition to its dryness,
mentioned above, we give the following
| from Prof Charles FL. Porter. He says
"A chalSy or very fine grained or pull
verulent salt is not the best for dairy pur-
poses and would at once be rejected, be-
lieve, by experienced dairymen. A good
dairy salt ought, imagine, besides being
proper chemical composition, to be of mod
erately fine grain, crystalline and transpar-
ent and when seen in mass of pure white
color, it ought to be free from odor and
possess that sharp, pungent taste charac,
teristic of pure salt"
The Importance of using pure article
OF salt for dairy purposes cannot be over
estimated, and we advise Western Dairy
men to look well to this point, avoiding
the use of the common barrel salt for pre-
serving their butter or cheese.-X. A. VIII

Prot. Mitchell, seven miles away, with the
great eye of his telescope directed fully up

So it is often with men. Because they
do rot see the eye which watches with a
sleepless vigilance, they think they are not
seen. But the great open eye of God is
upon them, and not an action can be con-
cealed. There is not deed, there is not a
word, there is not thought which is not
known to God. If man can penetrate with
the searching eye which science constituted
for his use, the wide realm of the material
heavens, shall not He who stitch upon

Faint Not.

1t was time of general religious cold
ness and declension. The pastor was al
most discouraged He had labored long
and hard, with little apparent fruit of his
labor. Sabbath after Sabbath h a he
preached the word with little or no visible
effect. To himself he seemed to spend his
strength for naught and in vain"
Discouraged and depressed he took his
accustomed place in the sanctuary. The
morning services were with difficulty per-
formed So far as he could perceive, the
word spoken fell powerless upon listless
and Indifferent congregation. He knew
not that single individual had a serious
thought about the soul, or God, or eternity.
He left the house of God more deeply de-
pressed than he entered it. Retiring to his
study he shut the door, threw himselfupon
sofa, feeling that he could no longer pur-
sue his labor. His soul was in agony. He
thought he should sink, under the burden
pressing upon him. To him the heavens
appeared to be brass and the earth iron.
A gentle tap on the door aroused him.
He opened it. Before him stood one ofthe
most intelligent and refined ladies of his
congregation. With courteous apology
for her intrusion at such time, she asked
the privilege of little religious converse
ton. The burden of her inquiry was,
"What shall do to be saved?" What I'M
utterable emotions were felt by the pastor.
1t was like an electric shock. An anxious
sinner was before him inquiring the way
of salvation. How he upbraided himself
for his foolishness and unbelief His cour-
age revived and he felt new strength.
Having given the anxious inquirer suit
able instruction mingled with prayer, he
was nerved up to return to the house OF
God. Starting with the declaration of an
apostle, "Christ is all and in alp the word
spoken was accompanied by the Holy
Ghost. The next morning brief note from
the inquirer gave the pastor the cheering
intelligence, that she had hope in the Sa'
viour. From the moment the text was an.
nounced, her thoughts took new direction
and soon she found that Christ was to her
