Early Made Hay.

The practice of beginning to cut the
grasses as soon as they are fairly in bios
som is rapidly gaining favor. This favor
ed time comes to many fields in this Iati-
tude, from the middle 10 the last of June.
With the improved implements of hav
making-the horse mower. rake and ted
der, it is not difficult now for the farmer to
gather all his hay crop at the time when it
makes the most nutritious fodder The
early cured grass does not give so heavy a
yield Of hay to the acre at one cutting, and
the same bulk Will not weigh so much as
the grass cured two or three weeks later.
But very careful experiments show that
the hay thus treated is much more nutri-
tious; it is relished better by all kinds of
neat stock, and nothing is left in the man
ger. This tender, sweet hay is particular
ly important for sheep and young stock in
the winter fit do not bring so much in
market or at the stables, at least, the hay
that is retained for home use, should be
early cut. 1t does not exhaust the soil 50
much as where the seeds are allowed to
mature. Ifthe ground is very rich it al
lows of second cuttingin August. Ifnot,
1t makes heavy aftermath and shelters
the roots of grasses in the winter. The
practice Is increasing among our rejecting
farmers, which is pretty good evidence
that it is safe to folow.-H Homestead

About Moving Machines,

a stitch in time saves nine" is the old
adage, so word in time to our farmers
who are about to purchase moving ma
chimes, may prove of much benefit to them.
To begin with, let no farmer buy a ma
chine upon the recommendation of the
agent-let him examine every part of the
machine infinitely and be sure it is we'll
made and of light draft-let him see the
machine at work if possible, by the side of
other machines and be careful and note
the ease with which it is drawn through
the grass, and the amount of power re-
CURED to operate it, not only by the hors-
es but by the driver. In some machines
1t Is actually necessary for the driver to
stop his team to pass an obstruction. while
In others, he can drive right along by the
same, his lever works so easily which rails
es the cutter bar from the ground. | am
very much in favor of having the cutter
bar and scythe in front of the drive wheels
because then the drivers whole attention
can be on his machine and the ground at
the same time, whereby were it in the rear
ofthe wheels the driver must sit sidewise,
Ia very uncomfortable position or a NOW
ing machine and quite unsafe and his at
tention must be here and there at the same
moment. Many of our farmer friends will
doubtless differ from me on this point but
let any man try it who is novice in the
art and l feel very sure he will give his
preference to the machine with the scythe
in front-Hqae Farmer.

Artificial Swarms.

l make artificial swarms thus: Take a
hive Of bees strong enough in numbers to
make strong swarm. On a pleasant dav,
when large numbers are out at work, re-
move it from its stand and set the new
hive in It's place with the frames all in the
right position. Then take out the combs.
one by one, and with a feather brush ALL
the bees and the queen off of all the combs,
down on sheet or board in front of the
new or prepared hive, 50 that they may
run up hill into it. Put the comb frames
deprived Of bees into ar empty hive as
they are brushed off, being careful not to
leave single bee on them, When all are
IN, remove some other strong hive from its
stand to some other place, and in its stead
set the hive containing the combs without
bees. Then put a fertile queen Gagged be-
tween two brood combs in this hive, near
the center, and let her remain thus two OF
three days, then release the queen, and the
work is done. Bees enough will come from
the removed hive to the old stand to take
care of the brood and queen. In few
days the old hive Will be strong in bees.
The swarm brushed of the combs will of
course be strong oue.-Cor 1m. Bee

Short-H Horns for the Dairy.

AT meeting of Kingscote Agricultural
Association, England Mr.. Butler read
paper on pure bred Shorthorn cattle. from
which we take the following:
"The advantages to the dairy farmer
having to combat some very deeply seated
and wide spread prejudices against pure
bred Shorthorns for dairy purposes, but
cannot help thinking that the dislike of
the dairyman to pure bred animals is one
of the greatest fallacies of the present dav.
and does more mischief than anything else
IN retarding improvement amongst the gen.
eral herds of the country, and consequent
ly the supply of beef for the wants of our
large and increasing population. The
calves produced on our dairy farms being
chiefly brought up by those whose farms
are more adapted to the rearing of young
stock, than for dairy purposes, the conse.
quence Is that they are obliged to keep
them until they are three years old, to get
them as large and marketable, as a well
bred beast would be at two years old.
On the other hand, am bound to admit
that there is a vast difference in the milk
ing properties of pure bred Shorthorns. and
it is a question which [ think has been
very much neglected by Shorthorn breed
ers, generally; but [ firmly believe that if
proper care be taken in selecting bulls
from good milking families, and the pro-
duce kept WELL but not artifciallv fed
they will bear comparison as mixers =. it'll
any breed of animals in the kingdom. No
doubt early forcing has been one of the
principal causes why so many of the pure
bred ShorthOrns of the present dav are bad
mixers, for there is no doubt if you artifi-
clally force the heifer, you spoil the COW
for GARY purposes-fOr the rich, kindly
quality and great aptitude to fatten which
are the great characteristics of the breed.
render 1t less difficult to spoil pure bred
animal in that way than any other.
The improved Shorthorns had an excel
lent character for their milking properties
In the early days of the breed, which seems
to have been inherited by the Duchess
tribe, which you all know is the most val
liable tribe of cattle in the kingdom at the
present day. Mr.. Bates left on record that
the first Duchess gave IA pounds of butter
III ounces to the pound) per week, for six
weeks after calving don't know whetb-
er any of her descendants which are in ex-
istence at the present time, give as much
butter as the first Duchess did, but if not
l have no doubt it is attributable. in n
great measure, to the fact that, while the
owners of them can get 500 guineas for
each calf, milk becomes a secondary con-
sideration.
l feel sure the dairy farmers would do
we'll to pay little more attention to this
point, even if they lost a little in the cheese
tub, it would be more than COMPENSATED
for by the increased value of the calves, as
well as of their annual draft of cows he
sides the great advantage they would con-
fer on the grazier.

Feeding Hoas.

V. D., correspondent of the Maine
Farmer, says that his experience has taught
him that unless you wish to raise ,hadowy
hogs and ,loshy pork do not incorporate
into their food more liquid than nature de-
mands That too much swilI distends the
stomach and weakens the organs of diges-
ton and assimilation. He is now feeding
six hogs weighing three hundred pounds
each. His allowance to each hog per meal.
feeding twice per day is one quart of raw
meal mixed with three pints of water. He
sets water before his hogs but they do
not drink it, He commences feeding his
pigs in the same manner and they soon
learn not to cry for swill. Some not quite
as enthusiastic as himself accuse him of
having "hog on the brain" He does not
care for the insinuation, but says it pays.
His motto is to take live interest in vour
business and to seek in all things The bet

Shall the Dead Rise -?

Few thoughts are more terrible to the
ungodly than that there shall be a resur-
rection Of the dead, both of the Just and
unjust. Nowhere but in Gods Word are
men taught so to live that they may meet
that day in JOY and peace. Mr.. Moffat, the
missionary, once went to pay visit to an
African chief, several hundred miles inland
from the missionary station at Talacoe, in
South Africa. The name of the chief was
Macaba. He was mighty warrior, and
was the terror Of his savage foes.
In one of his conversations with this
man Of war and strife, who was surrounded
by fifty or sixty of his head men and "rain-
makers" Mr.. Moffat spoke of the resurrec-
ton Of the dead.
What" said the chief, starting with
surprise, "what are these words about the
dead? The dead-the dead rise 90
YES" said the missionary; "all the
dead shall rise"
"Will my father rise?"
dusWGIGu Lie missionary,
"Will all the slain in battle rise ?"
Yes" answered the missionary.
'Will all that have been killed, and
eaten by lions, tigers, and crocodiles rise ?''
Yes, and come to judgment"
"Hark" shouted the chief, turning to
the warriors, eye wise men; did your ears
ever hear such strange and unheard of
news?-did you ever hear such news as
this?" turning to an old man, the wise
man" of his tribe.
Never" answered the old man. 81
thought | had all the knowledge of the an
clients, but am astonished by these words.
He must have lived long before we were
born"
The chief then turned to the missionary
and laying his hand upon his breast. said.
Father, | love you much. Your visit has
made my heart white as milk. The words
of your mouth are sweet like honey; but
the words Of the resurrection are too great
for me. l do not wish to hear about the
dead rising again. The dead cannot rise !;
the dead shall not rise !''
Tell me, my friend" said the mission
airy, "why must 1 not speak of the resur-
rectionW
Lifting his powerful arm, which had
been so often redeemed in the slaughter of
his foes, and shaking his hand, as if grasp
ing spear, the chief said 81 have slain
thousands; shall they rise?" The thought
greatly troubled him.
Alas, for the men of sin and blood ''the
dead, small and great, " shall rise and stand
before the great white throne" The war
rior shall meet the multitudes of those
whom he has helped to kill; and every
guilty goddess man must behold those he
has injured, neglected, or destroyed, before
the judgment throne.
But good peopleshall awake and sing"
In the great day of his wrath" they shall
hide themselves until the indignation be
overpast'" But woe to the unholy; "for,
behold, the Lord cometh out of his place
to punish the inhabitants of the earth for
their iniquity the earth also shall disclose
her blood. and shall no more cover her
slain." Isaiah XVI, 1921

she seeks to infiict some injury on you.

The Money Test of Piety.

l; may sound ungracious in some ears,
but it is none the less true, that the money
test is the best criterion of man 5 religion.
Sometimes, indeed, we may find a man
who is willing to contribute literally to a
cause for which he is unwilling to make
any other sacrifice. We sOmetimes-per-
haps frequently-fnd men who seem to
think that il they will only pay handsome
ly into the treasury Of the church, they
need not trouble themselves about living
according to her requirements. But while
we concede that there are cases like these.
we contend for the general rule, that the
best payers are the best christians. Of
course, there arein every church very good
members whose means are limited, and of
whom much could not be expected. But
If they be earnest and Jealous, thew will
prove it by their liberality, even though
they be poor. For it is the manner, rather
than the amount, which indicates the spir-
1t. Every one who has any experience in
business, knows that there are men who
pay largely, who do not deserve to be call
ed good paymasters. They pay only when
they cannot help it, and then with such a
show of reluctance that it is evident thew
had much rather not do so. So, there are
men who contribute to the church LARGELY
who care not to be classified as liberal Civ
ers. They show too plainly that other mo-
tives than the cause of Christ urges them
to yield of their substance Sometimes
the officers who have it in charge to make
collections, have to operate on the baser
feelings of their nature in order to get from
them the amounts which their means wouId
warrant them to give.
Now a man who has genuine zeal for
the welfare and prosperity of his church.
will need no stimulating to induce him to
give pecuniary aid towards building herup.
If the Lord has blessed him with abund-
ance to give largely, instead of seeking to
avoid calls on his purse, he is ever looking
out to see where money may be proftably
invested for the Masters service. If he be
poor, there is still no tagging. The mite
that he is able to contribute is paid in with
promptness and with pleasure. He does
not wait to be asked, nor expose deacons
to the unpleasant duty of asking for his
quota, time and again. He knows that
such delinquency would make them feel
as unpleasantly as it would him, and tho
pride Is not his ruling motive, he does have
too much pride to wait to be pushed into
doing his duty.
The man who gives to his church as
largely as his means will allow. will, as a
general thing, enjoy his church privileges.
He will feel that it is his church; that he
has an interest in all that she has and is.
He will not be pulled half reluctantly into
her enterprises, nor feel like stranger
when he enters within her walls. His pas
tor and his brethren will all be the dearer
to him when he feels that he and they are
all engaged in one common work, and that
he has aided its furtherance as far as his
ability will allow.-Ex.
