would advise all farmers to venti-
late their corn cribs well, and they will
have less spoiled corn. There are annu.
ally thousands and thousands of bushels
of corn spoiled by not having tire cribs
properly made, and by the want of VEN
tilation. 1t is generally the practice to
make the floor of the cribs level, and
when the cribs are filled with corn, nine
tenths of them will rag in the center.
Then when a heavy rain comes, the water
that is dried in the sides0 of the crib will
run to the center, and warm weather will
cause the corn in the center of the crib
TO sprOut, and when once started it will
depend altogether on the weather when
il will stop.
When building a crib, in the first
place raise the floor in the center of the
crib from eight to twelve inches, accord
ing to the width, 20 that whatever water
may run in during a driving rain storm,
will run out again Immediately. TO
make n ventilation, take four fence
boards, six inches wide, and as long as the
height of the crib. Make n square tube
by mailing these together, and the venti-
lator is made. Place az many of them in
the center Of the crib, at intervals from
four to eight feet apart, as are needed,
according to the width of the crib, and
let the ends of the ventilator pipes 90
down through the floor and up through
the roof of the crib, with rat and mice
protectors on the top. Bore the ~ventila.
tor full of small sized auger holes, 10 that
the air that passes through will penetrate
to the center of the crib.-C0untry Gen

very readily, and can be used as one Of
tho very best fertilizers for almost all
classes of crops grown In the temperate
zone.
In order to make land plaster avail
able, the manure should be heaped up;
and whenever six or twelve inches deep,
a good coating of Gland plaster" should
be scattered over it, and the process con.
tinned during winter or summer, az long
as the compost Is being increased. 1t II
best to keep the compost heap sheltered
to prevent unnecessary teaching; but
even without shelter, this treatment will
preserve the greater part Of the strength
ct the fertilizing part of the manures.
Gypsum costs less than any other fer
tlli2er. As a top dressing for clover,
corn, tobacco, wheat, or grasses, and from
its power of attracting ammonia, phos-
phorus, etc, from the atmosphere, it adds
more to the strength of the soil than any
other fertilizer Of equal cost. Millions
might be saved the country each year, il
our farmers would properly preserve all
the manurcs that can be made on the
farm, and then s~killfully 10 use them.

The disagreeable taste given to milk
and butter when the cows ara fed upon
turnips, may be eiIectually corrected by
the use of II little common nitre Tor
saltpetre), bnt the common mode of
using this preventive IL not the best. II
has been usual to put a lump of salt.
petre in the milk pail. 1t sometimes
happens, however, that the nitre remains
undissolved and the milk retains its
Objectionable haver. Instead of this,
make II strong solution of saltpetre-say
a pint OF boiling water upon an unce of
saltpetre--and when thoroughly dissolved
put it in a bottle and stand in a cool
place. Before milking put into the pail
n solution, or more, according to the
quantity of milk expected, and ailturnip
flavor will be destroyed. The same sub
stance will also, in n great degree, destroy
the bad flavor given to butter by the
yellow crowsfoot, or buttcrcup. This
has been tried and found serviceable.
Another plan, equally if not efficient, is
to scald the cream after the saltpetre Las
bee n inserted.

Keeping Manure IN Summer.

Most farmers lose the bulk ola summer
fertilizer, suffering il to be washed away
in the ponds and creeks, or else allowing
it To leach and lose the chief essential
which makes plant food, by exposing to
the suns rays, or the winds and rain
during the warm weather. Now, to
keep manure made by soiling green crops
or by feeding with dry food and rain,
it is necessary to "fx" the valuable
particles that naturally waste themselves
in the surrounding atmosphere. To do
this the farmer must turn chemist for the
moment, and see what other ingredient
will neutralize volatile substances and
hold them in the compost until they
become plant food. Fortunately we
have a cheap and very common substance
gypsum land-plaster-that an.
swers this purpose admirably. Ammo.
mia, carbonic acid, uric acid, phosphorus,
and nitrogen, all have strong affinity for
the sulphate of lime, or gypsum, and
will chemically unite with it on all
occasions, and form a new compost of
salts, that will not evaperate in the air

The Constant Use Of RELIGION.

take it down and give it n nice airing

Earth has no more affecting revelation
81 heaven than the sight of divine mercy
following q wicked man whom it vii
sava.
A reckless young sailor, delayed in q
foreign port, returned late one night to
his ship from II gambling. saloon. He had
tost all his money, and M he had often
been caught in the same %penniless con
Slition from the same cause, he was anx-
onsly thinking what new lie he could
invent TO shield himself.

the words left his lips than they began tc
repeat themselves.
Seriously, loudly, alarmingly, that
same truth called and kept calling, 0ver

when next morning the ship set sail. 1T

his sinful doings, and burning into his

and then he resolved TO leap into the sea.
Vie leaned from the bowsprit and locked
down in the foam.
Then he remembered "lf | destroy
my lite | cannot get away from God.
God knows!"
He went back and wandered through
the ship for n Bible, but he could find
none anywhere. lie was left again to
the mercy OF tho thought that tortured
him.
One night, in the f0rccastlc, where he
had gone, hoping to forget his distress in
the sailors sport, he picked up II piece OF
torn book leat or newspaper, half covered
with tar, Holding it near the lamp he
read The words, "Ihcy that seek Me early
shall find me-"
TO him, in his present state of mind,
thi1 was II heavenly hint and promise.
He could do now what he could not do
before. lie went back ON deck and hid
himself and prayed.
Ina moment there came into his heart
a feeling OF exceeding comfort. IL was Il
strange feeling to him, and he was too
Ignorant of spiritual experience to know
what it was. But he felt that his sins
were forgiven, and that God was his
friend and through all the rest of the
voyage his altered language and ways
were the wonder of his shipmatcs. Re
turning to his native land, he placed
himself under Christian instruction, and
subsequently served two years as a mis-
slonary among the sailors.
The minister, who was himself the
subject OF the above brief sketch, tells
the story at length in The BRITISH Mes
Senger, and says that at the hour when he
was returning from the gambling saloon,
his brother student in Mr.. S%puryeon's
college, with several Christian classmates,
were praying for him! II was at the
college that he afterwards fitted for

The living Christian seeks earthly
treasures that he may lay them on the
affairs of God. And in doing this is his
rarest and subtlest enjoyment of his

that he may build the walls OF Jerusalem
