THE FISHER.
BY SARAH DOUDNEI.

Sorrow and strife and p1in
Have crushed my spirit with relentless hand
Long have l toiled, o Lord, and wrought in vain,
But still at Thy command,
Into the wide blue sea,
Clinging to Thine own word, cast the net;
Thy covenant was made of old with me,
And 1 will trust Thee yet
Lord, it is bard to stand
Waiting and watching in this silent toll,
While other fishers draw their nets to land,
And shout to see their spoil.
My strength fails unawares,
NV hands are weak-my sight grows dim with tears
NV soul is burdened with unanswered prayers,
And sick of doubts and fears.
Isee, across the deep,
The moon cast down her fet.ers silver bright
As if to bind the ocean in his sleep
With links of living light
hear the roll and rush
of waves that kiss the bosom of the beach
That soft sea-voice which ever seems to hush
The tones of human speech.
A breeze comes swe and chill
Over the waters, and the night wanes fast;
His promise tails, the net Is empty still,
And Hopes Old dreams are past
Slow fade the moon and stars,
And in the East the new dawn family shines
Through dim gray shadows, flecked with pea-bars
And level silver lines.
But lOi what form is this
Standing beside me on the desclate shore:
bow nv knees; His garments hem kiss;
Master, doubt no m0rel
Draw in thy net, draw in,
tn. hos
All, Lord, the spell tOed so long to win
Is granted for Thy sakel
The rosy day blooms ont
Like a full blossoming flower; the Joyous sea
Lifts up its voice: the winds OF morning shout
All glory, God, TO thee.
-Sund4y Nrgu-iHe.

Fattening Poultry,

The following article is slightly con-
densed from the Canada Farmer of July
LIST. IF properly cared for and fed,
nearly all chickens at the age of between
three and four months will be, for all do
mestic uses, fat enough to kill without hay
ing recourse to the fattening coop; but
farmers who dispose of their surplus stock
in the market will find reader sale and
correspondingly higher prices for fowls if
well fattened. Somehow people will buy
fat fowl in preference to one with Il cor
responding amount OF flesh but not so much
fat, although the latter will not be of little
use except to fill grease tin. 1t is there
fore desirable to place chickens in the fat
tening pen occasionally for few weeks
before disposing of them, and it is desira-
BILE also to know the nature and quality of
the food to be given, the manner of its ad-
ministration, natural and artificial, and,
when so administered, either in a solid or
semi-duid state, the results likely to be
most beneficial to the feeder. These are
matters which have all been we'll consid-
cred and practically tested. Cleanliness
and regularity in feeding must be observed

RUBY-THRoAT A PRIsoNER.-A writer
in the Popuiar Science Monthly says that
the humming-brd has been tanned, and
writes rs follows:
succeeded in securing an uniniurel
captive, which, to my ineNpressible delight,
proved to be one of the ruby throated spe-
cies, the most splendid and dimnutive
that comes north Of Florida 1t immedi-
ately suggested itself to me that mix
ture of two parts of loaf sugar, with one
of fine honey, in ten of water, would
make about the nearest approach to the
nectar Of flowers While my sister ran to
prepare it, | gradually opened my hand 10
look at my prisoner, and saw to my no
little amusement as we'll rs suspicion. that
it was actually playing possumn -feign-
ing to be dead most skillfully. 1t lay on
my open palm motionless for some min
utes, during which l watched it in breath
less curiosity. l saw it gradually open its
bright little eyes to peep whether the way
was clear, and then close them slowly us
it caught my eye upon it. But when the
manufactured nectar came, and drop
was placed upon the point of its bill, it
came to life very suddenly, and in mo-
ment was on its legs drinking with eager
ousto of the refreshing draught from a
silver teaspoon.
When stated it refused to take any more,
and sat perched with the coolest self-com-
posture on my finger and plumed itself
quite as artistically as if perched on its
favorite spray. was enchanted with the
bold, innocent confidence with which it
turned up its keen black eyes to survey
us, us much as to say, well, good folks
who are you?" By the next day it would
come from any part of either room, alight
upon the side of white china cup con-
tanning the mixture, ,and drink eagerly,
with its long bill thrust in to the very
base. 1t would alight on my fingers and
seem to talk with us endearingly in its
soft chirps."
The writer afterward succeeded in tam
ing several of the same species. He gave
them their liberty occasionally and they
returned regularly. At the time for mi
grafton they left for the winter; but the
next spring they sought their old quarters
and accepted the delicious nectar kindly
provided them and by degrees brought
their mates.

\ member of the Michigan Pathological
Society stated ut the late Adrian meeting,
that he was very successful in keeping
winter apples, and had secured sound,
fresh fruit in May by the following treat
ment: He picks the fruit in October and
places it in heaps in the orchard, covering
them with hay. These heaps remain I'M
touched till December, the slight moisture
of the earth and the few inches of hay
preventing any injury to the apples, even
during sharp freezes. They are then as
sorted and packed in barrels, which. after
heading up, are placed in cold cellar
which is kept at a temperature of about
32o, and if it should happen to be few de-
grees lower for short time, the protection
of the barrels will prevent any injury.
They come out sound in spring.

MAKING CAKE.-Use none but the best
materials for making cake. If you cannot
afford to get good flour, dry white sugar
and the best family butter, make up your
mind to 60 without your cake, and eat
plain bread with a clear conscience.
Stir the butter and sugar to a cream.
Cakes often fall because this rule is not
followed. Beat these as faithfully as you
do the eggs, warming the butter very
slightly if hard. Use only silver or wood
EN- spoon in this as in other parts of your
work. l have herad of silver egg-whips
but they are not likely to come into Use,
except where the mistress makes all the
cake, pudding, etc.
Do not use fresh and stale milk in the
same cake. 1t acts rs disastrously as
piece of old cloth in a new garment. Sour
milk makes Il spongy cake; sweet, one
closer in grain.
! Streaks in cake are caused by unskillful
mixing, too rapid or unequal baking,
! sudden increase in heat before the cake is
quite done.
Don't delude yourself, and maltreat those
who are to eat your cake, by trying to
make soda do the whole or most often
duty of eggs. Others have tried it before
with unfortunate results. If curiosity
| tempt you 10 Tue eApcIIiiicHl, you Hftu
better allay it by buying some sponge
cake at the corner bakery.
Test wheather cake is done by run
ming clean straw into the thickest part.
1t should come up clean.
Do not leave the oven door open, or
change the cake from one oven to the
other, except in extreme eases. If 1t
hardens too fast on the top. cover with pa
per 1t should rise to full height before
the crust forms.
Except for gingerbread, use none but
white sugar.
Always sift the flour.
Be accurate in your weights and meas
ures
Cream Your sugar and butter, measure
milk. spice, etc, before beginning work.
For fruit cake it is best to prepair the ma
tcrials the day before. Let your iceing
dry thoroughly before wrapping up the
cake, and slit your flour before measuring.

GREEN OATS FOR COws.-A correspo

GREEN OATS FOR COWs.-A correspon-
dent of the Country Gentleman writes as
follows in reference to feeding green oats
:. agree with j. +. Champion in raising
green oats for COWS, especially when Civ
ing milk. But my experience is to cut
them in the bloom, and not in the milk :;
on the same principle that you would cut
grass early, instead of late you let the
oats advance far enough to raise fifty bush
els of grain to the acre, a certain portion
of the stalk becomes woody fiber, which
adds nothing to the cow, the milk OF the
manure pile, and comes under the head of
nothing from nothing leaves nothing. l
suggest to every man who was short of
fodder the past winter TO try a portion of
his low land in this way the coming sea-
SON Cut, cure. and feed in the same man
ner as you would early-cut grass.

The EFFECT OF CAMPHOR ON SEEDS.
Curious EXPERIMENTs.-So curious
and all but forgotten experiments, of much
interest to agriculture and gardening, OBJ
serves London paper, have lately been
revived by II German savant. Very many
years ago it was discovered and recorded
that water saturated with camphor has a
remarkable influence upon the germina-
ton of seeds. Like many other useful
hints, the stupid world took no notice of
this intimation; but n Berlin professor
came across the record of it, and he an
pears to have established the fact that 4
solution of camphor stimulates vegetables
as alcohol does animals. He took seeds of
various sorts of pulse, some of the sam
pies being three or four years old. and
therefore possessing a very slight degree
of vitality. He divided these parcels.
placing one moiety of them between
sheets of bIotting paper simply wetted
and the other under strictly similar condi-
tons between sheets soaked in the cam
phorated water. In many cases the seeds
did not swell at all under the influence of
the simple moisture, but in every case they
terminated where they were subjected to
the camphor solution. The experiment
was extended to different kinds of garden
seeds, old and new, and always with the
same result of showing a singular awak-
ening of dormant vitalism and wonderful
quickening of growth. 1t also appears
from the Professors researches that the
young plants thus set shooting continued
to increase with a vigor and vivacity much
beyond that of those which were not so
treated. On the other hand, when pound
ed camphor was mixed with the soil. it
appeared to exercise a rather bad effect
upon seeds. The dose in the latter case
was possibly too strong. At all events,
there is here line of inquiry we'll worth
following up by seedsmen and gardeners;
and even farmers might try how far wheat
and barley would profit from the strange
property which seems to be possessed by
this drug over the latent life of vegetable
germs.

ASHES AS FOoD FOR CATTLE.-A cor
respondent Of The Lire Stock Journal
found his cattle one spring affected with
the habit of eating wood, chewing bones,
etc. They became thin in flesh. refused to
eat hay, and presented a sickly appear
ance. lie had no impression that their
food lacked the constituents for making
bone; and his neighbors used bOne-meal,
without noticing any good results what
ever. At last he put about four bushels of
leached ashes in his barnyard and threw
out to them about Il shoyelful each day
They all ate it as if with evident relish.
After turning them out to pasture, he put
one peck of dry ashes per week on the
ground in thepasture. They ate all up and
enawed of the grass where it had been
lying. The cattle began to improve. gain
ING flesh and looking better than they had
done for several years. He says this NOR
BID appearance was unnoticed years ago,
from the fact that the ground was new and
ashy from the burning of the woods and
land clearings. L9tterly he gives one
quart of ashes mixed with the same guam
tity of salt to twelve head of cattle about
once Il week.

Morris IN CARPErs.-One can never be
quite sure that his carpets are not being
consumed by moths, except for few
weeks after having them taken up and
thoroughly cleaned, unless something is
used to prevent their growth, or to destroy
them This often neccssitates the taking
up AMI cleaning of carpet that otherwise
would not need the renovation. With an
ingram or Lowell, this needless labor may
be saved by laying down a damp cloth,
and over it thoroughly rubbing the edges
with u hot tlat-iron; this will kill the moths
if any have accumulated. But with tapes
try, Brussels or velvet. the ironing is not
elfectual; besides, it Injuries the carpet
Much hard work may be saved, however,
by removing the tacks one side ut Il time.
rolling back and examining the edges. If
there are any moths they must be brushed
off and burned; and to etfectually destroy
the life of all deposits the edges of the car
pet must be ironed, rs before stated, but
on the wrong side The edge of the car
pet lining must be thoroughly looked to,
and the exposed edge of the floor washed
and while damp sprinkled with salt. If
the carpet is to be folded under in any
place. sprinkle salt between the folds. and
see that the floor is well covered with salt
for IN inch or two under the edge of the
carpet all around If salt were always
put under the edges of carpets before tack
inc them down, moths would have but
slight chance to trouble them.-C0UntrV
