RENovATING Soils BY FIRE.-In Eng
land, land is often renovated by what is
known as pairing and burning" 1t is
mainly applicable to land containing
much vegetable substance, and is per-
formed by taking up the top surface to a
depth of two inches with a spade, and
placing the layer in edgeways pieces, so
that it may become air-dried. This done,
fire is applied, and allowed to shoulder
until the whole surface has been burned
over. The superhuous organic matter
is thus burned out and caused to WELD
an immediate supply of potash to the
soil; some of the mineral elements Of
plant food are rendered more soluble
and if the land be clayey, the capacity
of the soil for absorbing and retaining
ordinary manures is increased. At US
ual prices for labor in this country, thi
method of renovation is too costly fo
ordinary field practice, but for small
plots, designed for special crops, lik
carrots, or for garden purposes, the plal
| is well worthy of adoption. Somethin,

HAVE You Coon WATER FOR CATTLE


Have you, reader, provided good drink
ing water for your live stock, especially
for your mich cows2 If not, why ?
Cattle and horses as much prefer good
pure water for drinking as you your
selves do. At certain drinking tubs and
troughs humanely provided by the side
of highways in the country, supplied
with pure running water from springs
or brooks, horses will always when pass
ing, show desire to take drink, while
at other like places, seemingly, they re-
fuse to drink after taking a smell, per-
haps. This clearly shows preference
for clean, clear, pure water. 1t is not
matter of Indifference whether this
be provided or not for it is essential
both to the health and the comfort Of
our live stock.
I'VE were informed, few days ago.
Of q milk producer whose cows have nc
/ other water to drink than that obtained
from filthy mud-hole in swamp
Now it cannot be supposed that COWS
that are compelled to drink such filth,
Watelscan make as much and gooc
milk as COWS that are fuf1fsf 3itl
good clear, pure spring or brooks Water
In Michigan, we are informed, dairy
farmers who fail to provide good watel
for their COWS to drink, are refused tn,
privilege of carrying their milk to thu
cheese factories to be made into cheese
This should be the rule in all dairy sec
tions, as in all producing regions
for village and city peddling. Coco
healthful milk cannot be produced b,
COWS that are obliged to drink from FL
thy, foul, mud holes, made still NOR
foul by the mingling and stepping O
their own excrements therein.
We have to say, in conclusion, tina
if you have not pure, *ssod water 70
your live stock, then lett be your frs
business to provide for it. Your COW
and other stock all need plenty of goo
/ water to drink at this season, at all sea
. sons of the year. No longer suffer you
COWS to drink impure swamp water, g
t too many are doing from day to day, q
S they have been doing all summer. II

PRAYER A KEY.

AkTA u A1AS n AZ
l. Prayer is q key, because it opens
the door of the knowledge of God None
spiritually understand the character and
glory of God but such as go to Him to
be.enlightened. by the very act of cal
ling upon the Father of Light, we put
ourselves beneath the radiance that
shines from Him. We come to the
Light, and He is always ready to open
to us the door when we come by the use
of the key.
2. Because it opens the door of self
knowledgeg Just iasif bring am object
. out of darkness into light, which l wish
! to examine, so I bring my dark heart
into light when I 60 to God in prayer.
In the light of His holiness. goodness
and Joy, I see my own. sinfulness, shame
and misery. The fearelI get to Him,
the more perfectly FSsderstand myself:
Prayerless persons do not--but praying
people do-know their own hearts
"Now mine eye seeth Thee; wherefore [
abhor myself"
8. Prayer opens the glories of the nat
ural world to the soul. A prayerless
man does not see one in thousand of
the beauties of nature ); and what he
does not see he does not enjoy, as do the
spiritually minded. "For Thou, Lord,
hast made me glad through Thy work ;
I will triumph in the works of Thy
hands" God makes those glad in His
own works, who love to draw nigh unto
Him.
4. Prayer is a key, because it opens
the way for our clearest and most de-
lightful conceptions of heaven. 1t gives
us harmony of spirit with the inhabi-
tants, employments, and joys of the king
dom above, and thus we can better un-
derstand everything said about that bles
sed world. Thus does our faith become
strengthened, SO that we get better views
of the ''Delectable Mountains. NJ

and are reaping noble and enduring re

THE PLOUGH, SPADE AND HOE.

[The following song was written for the bingham
.gricultural and Horticultural Society:]
The farmers the chief orthe nation,
The Oldest of mobiles is he:
How blest beyond others his station,
From want and from envyshow freei
His patent was granted in Eden, 7
Long ages and ages ago.
o the farmer, the farmer forever
Three cheers for the plough, spade and hoei
In April, when nature is waking
And blue birds are first on the wing,
His ploughs How the ia lows ssre breaking,
Whence beautiful harvests shall spring;
Then broadcast along the brown furrow
We hasten the good seed to sow,
o the farmer the farmer forever,
Three cheers for the plough, spade and hoe!
When summer in beauty is glowing,
With fresh, early morn he's away,
And skillfully guides he the moving,
Or losses the sweet-scented hay;
Then casts HIM at noon by the brook-sde,
Where gaylyits bright waters flow,
0 the farmer, the farmer forever,
Three cheers for the plough, spade and hoe!
But when in the clear autumn weather
He reaps the reward of his care,
So busy and joyful together,
What monarch with him can compare?
His barns running over with plenty,
His trees with their fruit bending low,
o the farmer, the farmer forev&fT&kf
Three cheers for the plough, spade and lloei
Then sing me the life of farmer
With comfort and health on his train,
And heed not the voice of the charmer
That whispers of speedier gain
With all the rich treasures It's teeming
That Heaven on its child can bestow,
the farmer, the farmer forever,
Three cheers for the plough. spade and hoei

Many persons mistake enlarged sell
fishness for unselfshness. They are
ready to make almost any personal sac
rifice for their own familiar and intimate
friends, but beyond that narrow circle
their sympathies do not go. As if one
should say, cam l not christianity I'm.
selfish Behold how | love and serve nv
friends J" But there is no christianity
about it. Genuine unselfshness consists
in serving those who can make no return
for our service, and in loving those who
have no society or family claims upor
us. Instructive affection, which we shar,
with the brute creatures, should not b.
mistaken for unselfshness or philanthro

SAVE Your GLOVER SEED.-We hay,

SAVE Your GLOVER SEED.-We have
been informed, says the Franklin Pat
riot, that one of the largest and wos6 en-
terprising farmers of this country, last
year, saved enough clover seed for his
own sowing, sold enough to pay for all
the dry goods used in his family, and
received % dollars cash in addition.
This is the way in which he did it.
He put wire bottom in the trough in
which he fed his stock-the wire being
two or three inches above the close bot
tom of the trough. The stock in pull
ing the clover hay from the rack woulc
scatter the seed almost pure through tn,

similar may be proitably tried upon re-
claiming swamps, by skimming the sur

The points of leaves and twigs on
which the spider begins her work are
few, and she fills the air with beauti-
full circuiting. Man should be content
with as few points to tip with the fine
web of his soul, and weave tapestry

of space for his wanderings, of distinct

SUCCESS AT LAsT.-A Sabbath school
teacher had taught class of boys for
years. At last his health failed him,
and he must die. The thought of leav-
ing his large class of boys unconverted,
and about to enter into manhood, was
more than he could bear He told a
christian brother of his anxiety. This
very wholesome advice was given: Ask
the Lord to convert them, and 60, while
your strength remains, and tell each one
of your anxiety; and pray with them,
and try to lead them on; and he will
surely answer your prayer. The advice
was followed. A carriage was procured,
and he went and found each one at his
home. Again and again were the visits
repeated, and one by one did the young
men give their hearts to the Savior, IN
til the day in which the faithful teacher
passed to his rest, he sent for the last
one, who, at his dying bed, received the
Savior, And then, surrounded by such
a class, so blessed through his labors, he
passed to the life beyond. This large
class of now christian young men stood
at the dividing waters, and saw thei
teacher depart They saw the magni
tude and reality of the life beyond, annie
the eternal years, and love as the crown
ing glory of that life; and then turne,
to bless the world with true lives an
faithful labors.-Ihe Dial.

lfshsppiness were an attainment of
the mind, to be acquired as science or
an art is learned from the master, the
teacher might justly be considered as the
yicegerent-of God, and no place could
contain the numbers that would flock to
his school but in this the Almighty has
delegated his power to every person only
as respecting himself.

BE CAREFUL.-You cannot be too
careful about your farming machinery.
Already we have heard of two accidents
by which men have lost limbs in thresh-
ing machines, and we sound the alarm
in time to save others. Table tenders
will see that their tables are securely
put up, they will not step across the
mouth of the cylinder, nor on the cap
of an old machine. Pitchers will al.
ways leave their forks sticking upright
in the stack, or stacked on the ground.
The feeder will see that his cylinder
teeth are all right, and will not get his
hand too fari in. The machine tender will
watch his boxes closely to see that they
do not heat, and keep his fingers and
clothes out of cog-wheels. But accidents
will happen. If you have fork run
into you, put on turpentine; if you have
a mash or cut, put it in cold water. II
an artery is cut, tie a cord between the
wound and the heart as tight as mar
can make it, and send for DOCTOR
Keep plenty of water and turpentine al
ways on hand. Be careful.
