CHRIST HEARING PRAYER.

On reading the fifth chapter of st.
Mark, which treats of the Gadarene
demoniac, the cure of the diseased wo.
man, and the raising of Jairus' daugh-
ter, the thought occurred: "What have
these wondrous miracles of a by-gone
age to do with our actual life and trials
to-day 2" Then, on looking over the
chapter with reference to nineteenth
century life, the following suggestions
and others were presented, as few out
of many such, which each part of the
Bible can render up to the meditative
mind.
Although Christ is no longer bodily
amongst us, yet he is still present, by
his Spirit, to work, even visibly, won
drous changes in the condition of vio-
lent and passion-tossed men, afflicted
women, and poor weak youth, whether
daughters or sons. But, in all such
cases, there must generally be person.
al application to him for aid, either by
the prayers of those afflicted, or by
others on their behalf. The demoniac

besought him greatly" for his child
the afflicted woman followed after

Of to DO for US that which we desire.
And mighty, indeed, is the power Of
prayer even beyond the limits of human
thought, or outward laws and probabili-
ties. Not even death bars Gods power

POOR ECONOMY.

1t is poor economy to winter any old
fowls unless they are valuable as breed
ing stock for fancy purposes.
IL is poor economy to carry over old
and debilitated sheep; better sell them
to the butcher for what they will bring.
1t will take all they can eat to winter
them, and they will be worth no more
in the spring than they are now.
Have the door Of the cellar protected
against frost and snow by an outer door
or bulwark of cornstocks or meadow
hay, and provide for ventilation by
means Of spout running from the floor
to foot or two above the ground.
1t is poor economy to store your roots
and cabbages and other vegetables in
the cellar Of your dwelling house, when
by the outlay of few days labor you
can excavate and prepare a convenient
root cellar in the hillside near your
barn.
1t is poor economy to permit the liq-
uid from your COW stalls and horse
stables to escape and leach away into
the soil, when by throwing down as an
absorbent supply of dry peat, muck or
saw dust or even loan it may all be
saved; the value of the liquid excre-
ments as a manure is often regarded as
being nearly as great as that of the
solids, and it is poor economy to lose it.
1t is poor economy now to limit the
calves to the grass they can FILL them
selves with they need to be kept groa0-
ing. and they certainly cannot grow
very rapidly on late grass. House
them comfortably at night and in cold
stormy weather, and give them small
ration of shorts or meal with some rowen
or good hay for their supper. Many
farmers act on the principle that since
they have decided to raise the calf they
have done their whole duty by it, and
as the animal is beholden to its owner
for keeping it from the slaughter house,
it should look out for itself in the mat
ter Of feed, and keep fat and growing
on such as you can pick up. GAS the
twig is bent so is the tree inclined :" so,
''as the calf is reared the COW will repay
at the milk-pail. PLouqhnaan.

Mr.. Moody, in note explaining why
he did not cooperate with certain Tenn
perance organizations, writes thus:
Ny strong belief has been, and still
is, that the drunkard's only hope is in
renewed heart, with new desires, and
strength from God to keep him. | have
no faith in a simple pledge alone. 1
believe the power strong drink has over
a person cannot be broken by mans
will. 1t needs Gods power to help
overcome this terrible appetite. Be-
ieving this, and seeing many cases that
have been saved by reliance on Gods
power. and many failures where trust
has been placed in ones own strength,
explained that 1 could not, with these
convictions so strong, connect myself
with any society, where there might
arise opposition to what consider the
fundamental doctrine of the Gospel. Of
course to disagree on these points would
only give rise to argument and endless
discussion, and the real object of the
society in this way be to great extent
defeated.

AYRSHIRE DAIRY COWS.

The following description from a re-
port to the Ayrshire Agricultural Asso-
citation gives the points which indicate
superior quality in the Ayrshire dairy
COWS:
Head short, forehead wide, nose be-
tween the muzzle moderately large, eyes
full and lively, horns wide set on, in
Ginning upward, and curving slightly
inward.
Neck long and straight from the
head to the top of the shoulder, free
from loose skin on the under side, fine
at its junction with the head, and
the muscles symmetrically enlarged
toward the shoulders.
Shoulders thin at the top. brisket
light, the whole forequarters thin in
'front.' and gradually increasing in depth
and width backward.
Back short and straight, spine well
defined, especially at the shoulder, the
short ribs arched, the body deep at the
TANKS, and the milk veins we'll devel-
Oped.
Pelvis long, broad, and straight, hook
bones Gllum) wide apart and not much
Overlaid with fat; thighs deep and
broad, tall long and slender, and set on
level with the black.
Milk vessels capacious and extending
well forward, hinder part broad and
firmly attached to the body, the sole OF
under surface nearly level, the teats
from two to two and half inches in
length. equal in thickness, and hanging
perpendicularly; their distance apart
at the sides should be equal to about
One-third of the length of the vessel,
and cross to about one-half of the
breadth.
Legs short, the bone fine, and tn,
joints firm.
Skin soft and elastic, and covered
with soft, close, woody hair.
The colOrs preferred are brown and
white, the colOrs being distinctly de.
fined.
Great value is attached to the above
form and points by the dairy farmer
and he quickly takes them in wher
eHecting purchase, SO that a mistake
rarely made.

Why ASHES ARE VALUABLE AS FER
TILIzERs.-PrOf Atwater, in giving the
reasons for the high value of ashes as
fertilizers. lays special stress on the
following points:
l. They contain all the food ingre-
tents that the plants contain except Que.
nitrogen. 2. By their chemical action
they render the inert nitrogen of the
soil available to crops. 8. They also
help to set free potash and other miner
al ingredients of plant food that are
locked up in insoluble combinations in
the soil. 4. They improve the mechan-
ical condition Of the soil. For instance,
they make heavy soils lighter, and thus
provide space for air and moisture to
circulate through them, and prepare
food for plants. enabling the roots to
make their way to the food more easily,
and counterfeit the i'll effects Of drought.
8. Thus, by virtue Of what they them.
selves contain, and what they enable
soils TO furnish, they constitute practi
cally complete fertilizer. 6. Hence
like stable and yard manure, they are
fitted for all soils and crops. They arr
accordingly worth moro for general use
than ordinary commercial fertilizers
such as guanO, phOsphatcs, bone, fish
pOtash-salts, and the like, which con
tain but part Of the list of necessar,
elements Of plant food. and do far les

itself contains. z. And. finally, the
are generally applied in large quantities
are exposed to scarcely any waste unit
they are used by the plants. and there
fore their effect is as lasting as it i
valuable.

Chronic drunkards are being put to
an excellent use in Ohio under the new
liquor law. The wife or other relative
who suffers most at the hands-or feet
of the chronic induces him to fill
himself with intoxicating fluid and
then kill himself. Suit is then brought
against the last man who had the mis-
fortune to sell liquor to the deceased.
and the jury compels him to pay what
is considered fair price for the de-
parted. A very inferior article of
drunken husband can be made in this
way to net to his widow from $4,000 to
$4,000.

FILINGS FROM A FLAIL.

Were it not for the atmosphere, the
suns rays would be not merely useless,
they would be intolerable. Faith, taking
the place of sight, serves as an atmos-
phere between God and us. making
communion with him possible.
1t is one of the beautiful types of the
Bible that the book of the Law was
sprinkled with blood. There is
world of meaning in that appointment
Receiving in their simplicity, with no
spirit of speculation, the representations
which the Father and the Son make
of their love toward each other, we may
proftably think how the Father must
have loved his absent Son while occu-
pied in his earthly work. In this con-
nection we may also reflect that toward
every dear, faithful servant of theirs in
this world, living wholly for his God
and Redeemer, the father and the Son
have feelings which Christ does not
hesitate to compare with the love where
with thou hast loved me may be in them
and in them.
Success in our enterprises and the
drawing of men toward US, is frequently
result of personal covenanting with
God. "For they fell to him out of Is
real in abundance when they saw that
the Lord his God was with him."
Leave your prayer with God, and act.
"He answered her never a word" But
He heard her. He was preparing her
for the answer. She would not have
gone upon the pages of the Bible if
Christ had answered her at once.
"Power with God" what constitutes
it? Is there anything so to be desired ?
Men have had it. Its influence is rec
ognized by the most High Himself when
he says that Noah, Daniel and Job
could not prevail for a certain purpose.
If we did nothing else but live so as to
qualify ourselves to pray, we should
lead we'll spent life.
Success in life, so called, without the
favor of God, is shown to be an empty
thing when it is said that "the prosper
ity Of fools shall destroy them" If
even success may be fatal to an irrelig-
man, surely he is to be pitied.
Some things in the behaviour and
speech of the children of Israel to theil
God are as inconceivable as any mys
teries in the Bible. Take this for ar
example: behold, he smote the rock
can he give bread also p
Deep meanings are in that cxperienc,
of Ezekiel e. 81 when he took a rol
written full with lamentations anc
MORNINGS and woe and ate it, "and i
was in my mouth as honey for sweet
ness" Was he "vindicative, "cruel {?
No, he took part with his God agains
sinners, as all the righteous will do il
the great day.
The sorrow and love of the ma
Christ Jesus at John the Baptist's death
must have been most deep and tender
"When Jesus heard of it, he departe
thence by ship into a desert place.
The veil is drawn, after the manner q
inspiration, which does not indulge i
exhibitions of personal love but wha
must have been the thoughts of Jesu
upon his forerunner and the manner g
his death ! To have been the subject G
such thoughts was worth all which
cost. The death of every servant {
his is precious in the sight of the Lore
