Stand Fast.

IN the lat days many shall be as
"clouds without water, carried about of
winds" And this is one of the special
perils of these "perilous times" The
winds are let loose, and are now perform
ing their awful work of tossing hither and
thither these empty clouds.
Hence the instability that prevails. Men
are carried about with every wind OF
doctrine" They are not "rooted and
grounded in love-" and having never
tasted that the Lord is gracious" nor
rested their weary souls on Him, they go
about seeking they know not what. They
want something that will fill them, but
not going to the Divine fullness of the in
carnate Word for it, they wander on in
sadness of spirit, vainly trying to soothe
their uneasy souls with every new doc
trine or device that meets them in the
way All in vain. For what can be a
substitute for God and His free love?
Amid all this instability, let us L" stand
fast in the faith" Let us be strong In
the grace that is in Christ Jesus" Let
us beware of novelties in religion. Let
us Guard against fickleness Of opinion and
hasiness of decision. Satan will let loose
his blasts and call up his storms; let us
only moor our vessel tirmer, and kerp
faster hold of the anchor, which is sure
aud steadtast, land which entereth into
that which is within the veil" Thus, in
patience shall We possess our souls, fol-
" be TINT bclieveth doth not make haste. "

The Stewart Fortune.

IT is highly probable that the widow of
Alexander T. Stewart will be annoyed
and prosecuted beyond measure by beg
gars of various degrees, even now that
Judge Hilton is employed to assist her in
disbursing it. If she had retained the
whole she could not, during her life, give
away more than the merest fraction of the
interest of her vast fortune If she knew
on whom to beslow it, and occupied all
her time IN making small donations, she
could not give it all away during her life
time. Suppose her to be worth $50,00O,-
900. and to disburse only the interest, she
could get rid of $40, 200 day, or 81 1000
every working hour. In other words, she
could perpetually give away SIG a min
ute for ten hours OF every working day
and never touch the principal! If re-
solved to transfer to others the entire for
tune, it would take her a year if she
counted out $3.50 second. In 500
bills, laid end to end, it would reach from
the Battery to Central Park. If divided
into 81 bills, and kept at compound in.
terest, neither Mrs. Stewart nor any single
line of successors could ever count it and
give it away, even II the counting were
continued for thousands of years and each
counted as fast as possible. If it was all
in $40 bills and thief should get access
to the pile and take one bill a minute, it
would require more than thirty years for
him to capture the fortune. Then in
some States he could be punished only for
petit larceny, because the individual thef(s
would amount to LESS than $15." On
the whole, Mrs. Stewart and her legal
Cerebus are not to be envied.-N. Y.

Keep the stock Clean.

IT is fact that no domestic animal is
unclean from choice. Naturally they
have an aversion to uncleanliness, and if
their movements are noted it will be
found that they invariably choose clean,
dry places to lie upon. If stock are un.
clean, it is owing to no fault of theirs, but
entirely to the neglect and carelessness of
their owners, or the persons having charge
Of them. In this country too little atten-
ton is paid by farmers in general to the
cleanliness of their stock, the general ex-
cuse being that to attempt to keep animals
clean is of very little use, besides taking up
too much time. In England the case is
different; there particular attention is
paid to the cleanliness of stock and their
surroundings; and it is really a pleasure
to visit the stables and barnyards in that
country, and note the careful attention
paid to their cleanliness and healthfulness.
How often it is the case in this country
that on visiting farmers barn-yard, his
COWS will be seen standing about with
their TANKS, bags and tails all covered
with fresh dung. Is it any wonder, then,
that the boys on farm, who generally
have most of the barn work to do, or
large share of it, get sick and tired of be.
ing obliged to rouse up at an early hour
in the morning to milk lot of COWS in
such condition? The day has gone by
for farmer to follow in the footsteps of
his forefathers, in many respects, If
they saw fit, or did not know any better,
than TO erect low, damp and unhealthy
stables, there is no necessity of his follow
ing their example. This is an age of i'm
provement, and improved and well-con-
structed stables are as much Of necessity

Amateur Dress.Making.

1T is hard times" we said, in concert
with everybody else, land our own hands
must put that twenty-fiv yards CT bottle
green poplin into wearable shape. No
great trick with a Godey's Book and a
Demorest pattern, and plenty of pins and
advice from the neighbors" We drew
the blinds, bolted the doors and smoothed
out the cloth on the carpet. Amateurs
always cut work On the carpet. We had
selected a demi-train underskirt with a
wide rutfle and narrow one, and a shirr,
and puff, and fold, and cord, and an
upright trill in knife pleating for garni-
ture, an apron overskirt with a rutfle and
cord and fold and frill around it,
and lows all down the front, and puck
cred pocket clapped on the left side, and
puff and sash behind trimmed with
folds and shirrs, and straights and bases,
then cuirass basque tit should be
spelled curious). We gazed at the figure
in the book, and felt willing to be put un-
der the thumb screws for month if we
could come out like that in the end. We
pinned the pattern Oh several times and
hesitated about the first clip. The bottle
green was six shillings a yard, and we
are poor, but crick between the shout
ders and rush of blood to the head
warned us that bent posture is not the
most desirable one for prolonged medita-
ton, so we called up the motto "nething
risked, nothing won," and slashed away
desperately. We measured, and pinned,
and planned till the weary sun showed
symptoms Of setting, and the twenty five
yards lay in separate piles on the carpet
and chairs. Two sleeves for one arm, a
strange mistake in front and lack of
cloth for trimming clouded our April sky.
We basted the waist for trial, and, except
"a slight hitch under the arm, and a
wrinkle on the shoulder, and twist in
the form seams, it was charming fit.
OF course Il would come all right cut by
pattern, and one doesn't expect basted
things to set

Experiments In Feeding Stock.

A WRITER in the Kansas Farmer, in
considering the question Of how to make
money farming, mentions several expert
ments in feeding stock by men who could
not command money to purchase stock.
One feeder took forty head of three year
old steers the Goth day of October to feed
for eight cents per pound for all the gri IS
weight he could put on till the Goth OF
February. He had great deal of soft
corn that was not understandable, and he
gave the cattle all they could eat. He fed
them four months, consuming about fifty
bushels of corn to the steer, and putting
270 pounds weight upon each animal.
This made his corn bring him forty.two
cents per bushel and he had hogs follow
ing his cattle, which will still increase
his profits.
Another feeder took some steers of the
same man to feed at seven cents per
pound for what he could put on them. or
course his profits were an eighth less than
the other feeder, and his corn netted him
about thirty six cents, while he still had
the profits on the hogs.
These experiments are of considerable
value, and they answer the objection so
many farmers have at hand when the
profit of feeding stock is mentioned, that
il takes money to handle stock. OF course
the open winter favored the feeders, but,
if stock is sheltered, the same results can
be attained any winter.
In this connection it may be said that
farmer, when he decides to put in crop,
should consider the probabilities as to
profitable disposal of it, or, in other
words, make up his mind as to what he
will do with the crop when he gets it. A
little calculation and planning before
making venture is always in order

as our improved dwellings are over the
old fashioned farm-houses erected over
fifty years ago.
Cattle should be prevented from lying
down in their ordure; that is the main Sc
cret in keeping them clean. In order to
do this, they should have platform just
long enough for them to stand upon; be-
hind this there should be trench about
six inches deep and two feet wide; be-
hind this trench there should be a walk
wide enough for two cows to pass and a
few inches higher than the platform upon
which the cows stand. With a stable so
arranged, moderate supply of bedding
and cleaning it twice day, you will find
that there is not much trouble in keeping
cattle clean, and that you will not need
a pair of thick boots to get between the
cows.
The pig-pen should also receive share
of ones attention. The pen should be
built good and strong, with the sleeping
apartment dry, warm and sheltered; the
trough we'll secured and placed where it
will be convenient for feeding; care
should be taken to have it above the sur
face of the yard, for if it is placed on the
ground it will generally be filled with
dirty. Y. World.

Glover and Grass.

MANY farmers have correct notions as
to the value of clover and grass which
grow in sight above ground that may be
cut for hay or eaten by stock, who have
never considered the worth of clover and
the stems and crowns just above, nor OF
the roots of grass from which mainly
rich turf is formed. A few scientific men
in Great Britain, Germany and rance,
have investigated this matter, and find
that, while healthy clover plants in good
soil are forming one hundred pounds OF
stems and leaves that will make hay, the
tifty-six pounds, allowing two years for
growth and three cuttings of the clover,
two the second year, and one the first.
Glover roots and stubble more than pay
the cost of production as manure to the
land, whether you fertilze for crop of
wheat, corn, cotton or tobacco. 1t is
good economy to SOW about one hundred
pounds Of land plaster, to the acre OF
clover, to augment the crop.
To make good firm turf, on pasture
or meadow, is more difficult than many
suppose. To form nice green sod in
lawn, one should sow plenty of grass seed
/ in autumn or winter, with a top dressing
of manure, narrowing the ground well be-
ore seeding, and rolling it afterward.
For field grazing, mixture of blue grass,
red-top and orchard grass, yields excellent
| feed on fair land. Prepare the ground
! frst-r and then SOW at least a half
bushel of each kind of seed on the same
acre, and three pecks or bushel would
be better The high price of orchard
grass seed is absurd. There is altogether
too much gambling in seeds. Farmers
should turn over new leaf, and give
more attention to the production of all
needful seeds. From seeds to turf there
is but one step. A turf that has grown
four years has been worth six tons of hay
for manure, or six good crops before the
sod was exhausted.
To cover the ground with firm, thick
sod, and fill the soil with mass of grass
and clover roots, is to make land that will
| pay fair rent to the owner. Such sod,
summer tallowcd, brings great corn, to-
bacco or cotton. One must learn how to
make fertility grow on thin land drawing
agricultural salts from the deep sub soil
in water that rises to enter the longest
roots of clover or COW peas. The water
evaporates from the leaves of the clover,
grass, peas and corn; but the fertiliZing
salts do not. These may be used to feed
and fatten hungry soil. Poor land may
grow to become fat in sod and manure as
easily as poor pig gains in flesh. Small
seeds, like those of clover and grass, may
do most of this work See how easy it is
to make clover and grass labor for the
thinking husbandman. National Ameri-
