TURKEYS and Insects.

Near Sacramento, in California, they are
cultivating the beet for sugar, and the army
worm threatened it with complete destruc-
ton. Various plans had been tried to get
rid of the pest. After awhile some one
whose wits were about him bethought himself
to experiment with turkeys. A flock of a
little less than three thousand were let loose
upon the invaders by relays and after a
severe struggle between righteousness and
the worms, the former came off triumphant.
One of the birds was gorged so full that he
died, and on opening him it was found that
he had made way with about fifteen hundred
of the pests as his individual share. Any
one can reckon up for himself what would
have been the number probably eaten by the
whole flock, reckoning them at three thou
sand birds. Our own farmers might get a
hint from this turkey cure for too much iu-
sects, and go to work accOrdingly.-PlOw-
man.

Castor Beans.

The method of gathering and preparing
castor beans for market in California is as
follows; Every day the ripe spikes are
gathered by hand, put in sacks, and hauled
to the cropping ground, which is space
of about an acre, made smooth and hard,
like an old-fashioned buckwheat threshing
ground. Here the spikes are spread; and
during the day they pop open, from the heat
of the sun, throwing out the beans. Each
morning the straw is raked of, the beans
shoveled up, cleaned in tanning mill, and
sacked, ready for market. By the time the
field is once packed over, it is ready for
another picking, like cotton, and the season,
commencing in Augusta, is not yet over.
The yield IS estimated at fifteen hundred
pounds per acre, worth four cents per pound,
or a gross yield of $50 per acre. The ex-
pense of cultivation, etc., is estimated this
year at one half this amount, but is greater
than it probably will be another season, ow-
ing to inexperience and preparing new land.
There is probably no crop so easily raised
that will yield so large return.

The Secret of Saratoga Fried Potatoes.


Saratoga potatoes, the poetry of common
life, and costly charm of Delmonico's and
Parker's, can be made to perfection in any
kitchen, by the use of very simple appa-
ratus consisting of sharp blade set slanting
in wooden trough, with narrow slit in the
bottom, two wire screens or sleeves and a
common spider. To begin, select eight large,
perfect potatoes, pare them, and slice very
thin with the cutting machine, soak them in
cold water for two hours, and stir common
table salt into the water, one teaspoonful to
quart, and allow them to remain in the
brine half an hour longer. Pour them into
the screen to drain, and put on spider,
with pound of clear lard, over brisk fire.
Wipe the sliced potatoes dry on a towel wait
till the lard is smoking hot, and pour a large
plateful into the spider. The result is like
small sea in white squall, and now the
cook shows the artistic soul, which every
votary of that noblest of the arts must pos
sess to be worthy of the name. Patient and
calm, with steady and incessant motion of
the skinner, she prevents adhesion of any
too affectionate slices, and watches careful
for the tender blush of BROWNIES to appear.
Slowly it creeps and deepens until it rivals
the hue of fragrant Havana. Haste then
takes the place Of caution, lest any martyrs
burn for the perfection of others; and they
must be quickly spread upon another sieve
to drain until dry, and greaseless enough for
the fairest fingers, then served hot to melt
away like kiss on sweet lips, with dying
crackle like the fallen leaves of autumn

G ult ur G

Is the education and development of the
faculties. The term is almost exclusively
applied to the discipline and polish of the
intellect, and of the habits of personal de-
pertinent in contact with society. There is
no form or manifestation of material beauty
so delightful and admirable as the grace,
complaisance, gentleness, and dignity, which
arises from high social culture, and the bril-
lance which results from thorough cultiva-
ton of the intellect. Diamonds and gold
are gross earth compared with those finer
elements of beauty. The highest culture in
the popular acceptation of that term, is not
only eminently desirable, but, if sought for
as a proper object, it forms an element of
benevolence and becomes the desire and abil-
ity to give pleasure to others. But there is
something better still than this, and which
is more highly esteemed and respected among
men, and that is genuine spirit of self
sacrifice. The finest form of social culture
is that which stimulates most successfully
this spirit. Moral beauty is superior to in.

life to her children--taking no thought of
self; the husband and father bearing cheeri-
ly his hard SIX mat wife and little ones may
be safe from want or hardship; the kind
neighbor; the burden-be for others in
any labor Of love-the novelist, the poet,
the historian, each seek to tighten up their
pages by depicting this form of moral beauty
and attribuTing it to their heroes and hero
ines. 1t is universally recognised as the
gem of purest ray in human character. Now
mark the f1%HsSF:: This form of beauty is abso-
lutely unattainable unless it is derived from
the spirit of the divine founder of Christian.

social culture can give it, or give even sim
ulation of it that will bear inspection. 1t

of Jesus Christ-InteraOr.

He Did It!
in the land

Little Winnie was the life of the house
hold. From morning until night she was
as busy as bee, at her work, or her play
Her bright eyes were always seeing wonder
full things, which brought her swift feet tt
mamma, to unravel the mysteries which hei
small experience in life did not enable hel
to comprehend. She had not only loving
mother, but wise one, who tried to teach hel
little daughter to regard God as a Father
and to remember that his eyes were always
upon her; that it grieved him when she did
what was wrong, and that right behaviour
was pleasing in his sight
She had pleasant home and in the large
garden were many fine fruit trees, which in
their season were laden with delicious fruits
One day when Winnie was about six years
of age, violent storm arose, which left the
ground streWn with unripe fruit. After the
storm had spent its fury she went out on the
verandah to look about. She had been
taught that God rules the winds, and she
listened in surprise as she heard Thomas, the
gardener, mutter his complaints at the de-
struction the storm had wrought.
Turning quickly about, and stamping her
little foot to attract his attention, with one
finger she pointed upward, and said, very
seriously "Hush, Thomas He did it,"
Brave little Winnie We may learn a
lesson from thy trusting spirit. When some
cherished hope has been blighted, some dear
plan thwarted, some cherished treasure
snatched from our eager grasp, the murmur-
ing spirit would be hushed, did We remem-
Der that He did it, whose ways are always
right Christian at Work.

EDITORS WORK.-Not all who visit edi-
sorial rooms are intruders or bores, but a
great many are, and these are so numerous
that all visitors are looked upon with some
degree of suspicion until their business be-
comes known. 1t never pleasant to be in
terrupted in editorial work. 1t has teuden
cy to make men cross. There is pressure
upon editors. They work nearly all the time
under pressure. Often their ideas do not
flow freely, and when they are not pleasing
themselves they are not in mood to spend
much time upon those who interrupt them.
We suppose it is safe to say that three-fourths
of those who call to see "the editor" have
no business properly with that individual.
Often they do not know him personally, and
in order to find him they interrupt half a
dozen men, who have important work to do.
and only limited time TO do it in. Then, if
they receive short answers, they feel ag-
grieyed, and talk about impolite treatment.
The editorial rooms of newspaper establish
ment are private, and are only to be visited,
except as a matter of favor, by those who
have business with the editor. The best
way, when people have something to say to
an editor, is to write that something down
and send it to him. This would save time
on both sides, and answer better purpose,
nine times out of ten, than personal inter-

Life a Spring

Let us look at Spring as the emblem of
human hfe The Bible so regards it. He
cometh up like flower" etc. First. Both
an Spring and human life there are vaSt ca
pa5iljties of improvement. Spring is the SEA
son when Providence submits to the agricul-
turist what sort of harvest he shall have
With skill and industry he may, during the
Spring days, make nature yield him won
derful results. The cloud, the sky, the dew,
the shower, the soil of Spring have special
powers for the future. So is human life
Out of the human soil neV Seraphic pow erS,
and forms, and faculties may grow. Second
ly. Both in Spring and human life there IS
remarkable changeability. No season SO
changeable as Spring; alternate cloud and
sunshine, storm and calm, cold and heat,
snakes up the April day." What al en-
blem of human life What scene of vicis-
situdes Thirdly. Both an Spring and hu-
man life there are many fallaeious promises.
Spring is the season of promise. The rich
bud and blossom of fruit-tree, the strong
green stalks of the corn fields, have often
created bright hopes, which in Autumn have
been terribly disappointed. So is life !
Look at youth, etc. Fourthly. Both an
Spring and human life there as nothing can
Be substituted for the present. No other sea-
son can do the work of Spring. The man
who neglects his field in the Spring may toll
in it to the utmost in Summer without effect.
So is it with life There is not period can
be substituted for the present.

" Bible First. "

The Rev. Peter Stryker, D. D., tells the
following little story in the Sunday School
Times:
about forty years ago, Christian man
sat at his Preside in Philadelphia. Near by
him, playing on the floor, was his only chlld'
beautiful little boy. 1t was early IN the
morning. The days work had not yet be-
gun; and waiting for his breakfast, it may
be, the father took up the daily paper to
read. The boy at once climbing up into his
lap, saatched away the paper, exclalmlng,
No, no, papa Bible first Bible first,
papaIr That lesson, taught by little child
was probably turning-pOint in the lie OIL
that man. Death soon came, and rudely tore
away the sweet little preacher; but hls
morning sermon was never forgotten. Inc
business man, in his loneliness and sorrow
went forth to do his work for Christ. Bible
first, papar was ever ringing in his ears Il
became the motto of his life. He was ex
ceedingly prospered in his business. Wealth
accumulated. Business increased. Friends
multiplied BAs uppermoSt in that mans
heart was the precious Word of God, H'
read and studied it. As teacher and super
intendent in the Sabbath School, he laugh
it. He did more than this he practised 1T
preCepts.
The gentleman referred to was the well
known locomotive engine builder, Matthia
W. Baldwin, of Philadelphia. Would no
the child'8 cry, "Bible first" be an excel
lent motto for every Sunday School teache
/ in the land?

One Thing and Another.

Great as Mr.. Bergh's efforts and triumpha
have been, he has never till within day or
two, struck decisive blow at the employ
ment of sick or otherwise disabled horses by
the stage and car companies. Stages and
cars have been stopped, and suffering horses
taken out of the traces. Drivers have been
arrested and fined. But it still remained to
reach with penalty the last responsible heads
of the great horse driving corporations, in
order to prevent the abuse of the poor dumb
servants of man. With prompt and elo.
quent aid from the District Attorney 8 office,
and jury of twelve good men, Mr.. Bergt
has now taught the masters that they, and
not their hirelings, are hereafter to be held
responsible for the sort of horse sent out
from their stables. The case was that Of
the People against the Superintendent aDG
one of the proprietors of the Fourth Avenue
Stage line, charged with "cruelly torturing
horse" the animal being totally unfit fol
work, and suffering agony while at it. There
was no evidence to connect the defendants
directly with the torture of the poor beast
but the jury, without hesitation, held them
to be answerable for the permission of such
wrong, and therefore the proper subjects
for punishment. The judge imposed upon
each fine of 5000, the maximum allowed
by law being $3.50. The principle involved
in this case is great one, and its vindica'
ton in the courts will do more to keep sick
and lame horses out of the stage and Car
lines of New York than any other course Of
prevention hitherto adopted.
