Says a correspondent: "Long MS
the pillow has been in use, | am salts
fed that its proper use and adyanta-
ges are little understood, except in
breaking the grotnd AID c~ultiyQting
crops. In beneiting the land and
increasing its productlveness, we do
not fully understand what the pillow
is capable of dong, if used properly.
For instance, my impressions are
that land should lever be turned
over deeply more than once in two
years-pastut age once IN three years,
and when turned over, it would be
better for having on it a heavy
growth of vegetable matter to turn
under for manurial purposes; and in
the intervening years-between us
ing the heavy turn plows-it would
be best to break the ground with
plows oil the subsoiling order. The
more we expose the soil by turning
it, the more the evaporation of it's
chemical fertilizing ingredients must
take place, which will require Il lar
ger amount of manure to be applied,
to aestore what evaporation and
plants have exhausted. / believe
the ground should be thoroughly
and deeply broken at least once a
year, in some instances twice, but
not so often with large turning
plows, let it be done with plows that
break deep and pulverize thoroughly
without turning over the land. So
well satisfied am | of the correctness
OF this, that | never turn over the
field with large turning plows but
once In two years, and my lands are
q heavy, red loan soil, sticky and te-
nacious in character. Under this
system of blowing l have seen a de-
cided improvement in the produc-
ton of my land, with only partial
manuring. Several agents of the
manufacturing of fertilizers have
called on me wishing to sell me
some. l tell them: Gentlemen, yon
are too fast; you have the cart before
the horse. FIRST go around TO the
farmers and persuade them to prr-
chase good plows and put their lands
IN good order, and afterward preach
manuring; and for applying mauures
ON improperly prepared grounds,
we may as well statter manures On
water sheds, Tor the good they would
do the land merely skinned with the

SO Work in My Vineyard"

Do not wait for more feeling.
Start forth at once, after one short
prayer for strength and wisdom, and
as you 90, Jesus will surely meet you
by the way, as he did the two disci-
pies on the road TO Emmaus. Your
heart will burn for him and his skiing
dom, as you think and talk of him
by the way; then you will find the
warmth and strength of heart for
which you have been praying SO long
IN vain. Then your prayers will be
living ones, a living power; which
viii bring you down the blessing Of
God. If you wish to grow in grace
most rapidly go and do the most
earnest work you can find for Christ.
As you attempt to bring some dead
soul to life, your own soul will glow
with unusual warmth. Garry that
lost soul upon your heart for a short
time and you will speedily find a
spirit OF self-consecration and true,
vital religion has taken possession of
that heart of yours, as never before.
Those who have done but little for
Christ and have been praying for a
long time for a greater concentration
and devotion, pray none the less, but
set about Gods work more earnestly
than ever before. To put it on high
er ground than pure sul6shness, we
try this plan, God in his infinite
wisdom has ordained that when we
do the greatest Christian work for
others, greater is the reflex good re-
sulting to ourselves He that waters,
shall himself be watered.

The fact has long since been known
that if cellulose is boiled with dilute
acids, grape-sugar is produced, and
a similar treatment of llchens, accor-
ding to a process devised by Profess
sor Stenberg, is the initialstep to the
preparation of u very fair brandy.
We now learn that quite a good
brandy cal be made from sawdust,
generally from a mixture of the saw
dust of pine and of fir timber. For
this purpose 8 parts of very moist
sawdust, Z of a part of hydrochlorid
acid, and 1877 parts of water, max
ing 43.4 parts in all, are to be boiled
together, under steam pressure, for
eight hours and q half, after which
the mass is found to contain 1888
parts Of grape-sugar; and after elev-
en- hours 4.3S parts, in all over 10
per cent. of the entire mass. The
acid is now to be neutralized with
lime, go hal the mash, cooled and
ready for fermentation, is to contain
one. half q degree Of acid, according
to the acetometer,) and a suitable
amount Of yeast is to be added. At
ter n~inety-six hours OF fermentation
the mash is distilled, and sixty-one
quarts Of brandy or SO per cent. of
strength will be obtained, perfectly
free from any smell of turpentiue,
AID of extreme excellence OF flavor.

Quoted in a practical way on a sufi-

but it is not at all unlikely that the
success may equal that with the Itch

direction may be developed. 1t is

Hasty Friendships.

Some people are continually ac-
curing "dear friends" Ladies of
an impossible nature have been
known to add two or three to their
list every week during the visiting
season. We men are not, generally
speaking, as apt to rush into friend
ship as the more amiable sex; yet
many of us contract friendships in
haste that we repent at leisure. True
friends are scarce artic' es. They
cannot be picked up at the rate Of
half a.dozen a season at dinner-par-
ties or balls, Will the ladies excuse
us for saying that men's Friendships
are, in most cases, stronger than
theirs? A lady's Every DEAR" or even
