ToNING DOWN OUR LIVES.

Is there a word in all the dictionary
more full of meaning than the word har-
mony? In this world we hardly know
ITS full meaning. At an artists recep-
ton one day saw picture of a noun
sunrise, and l wondered at its marvellous
depth, richness and splendOr of shade
and color, till the artist told me how he
had toned the picture and softened its
coloring into its subdued harmony of
TINT and l thought how often our life
was growing to be like that picture of a
mountain sunrise. Gods unseen hand
is before the easel, sketching here and
shading there. The life-picture looks to
us unfinished, fragmentary, and imper-
feet now, but each new joy-light, each
sorrow-shade. is toning it down through
all its gloom and glory into harmony
with Gods great ideal. He will frame
it at last in such setting of events as
he chooses, and we will find, up in that
great gallery above, that the light has
been in the right place, and in the
shadow too. We might never see the
beautiful sunrise gliding the hills of our
eternal future, were it not for the crook
ed, winding path and the misty streaks
along the valley of tears, up through
which which we have climbed, as hue
after hue brighter CLEANED through the
very dusky ground ofsorrow. Our lifc's
picture looks often too dark, its troubles
too glazing, its griefs too sharp and
rough we fear it will never be finished
right, but behind all is master hand
touching itcunningly and toning it down
into celestial harmony. Each soul left
fully in the hands of the Divine Aartist
will open into everlasting unfolding glo-
ly; so, while we wait, let his beautiful
will be done.-PresJyterian

FAR MING FOR PROFIT.

There is too much farming for liv-
ing" done in this country, and not
enough farming for profit And the
reason is that so many farmers think
their business is exempt from business
principles. The wise manufacturer does
not ordinarily have any more mills or
spindles or FORCES than he can run at
profit. The prudent merchant does not
keep more stock than his trade demands,
and never leaves portion of his counters
to run themselves, or the goods back of
them to lie season after season and ac-
cumulate dust. But many farmers spread
their capital out so thin that it is like
Paddy's blanket,-''too short at both
ends ]" And some of them, capable of
managing perhaps sixty acres to advant-
age, hatten themselves in vain attempt
to manage two hundred. That farm is
too large, Cor the farmer too SMALL ev-
cry tillable acre of which is not put I'M
der tribute, and made to yield to the
extent of its capacity /; and that farmer
capital is inflated" and needs con-
tracing, by as much as it is paying
some money-lender six or seven per cent
when the farm is yielding but four OF
five above taxes and expenses.
Money is much better expended fol
fertilizers. or an extra quality of stock
or more thorough drainage and cultiva
ton, or in changing and diversifyinG
the farm industries, than for interest
or hired help that can't be kept pro6ta.
bly, busy the year round, or for keeping
up place SO large that it can only b.
skinned over" For as writer OF
capital in farming has said; Take
and interest on borrowed money, ar,
more than match for constant labor
Better to sell a portion of the land t.
raise money on the remainder. All Lane
that is not used is an incubus on tn
farmers prosperity-and some kind o
return, either in the form of grain stock
or other products should be exacted fror
each acre of land owned. To make tn
farm pay, sufficient capital to the acr
must be used to work the farm up to it
full capacity of productiveness.''

A THOUGHT OF DEATH.-In itself,
and merely for itself, death need not be
terrible, and often is not. But it is the
light Of the higher life in Christ which
alone glori6es it. And unless this light
has sunk into our hearts, know not
whence hope can reach us. We may be
resigned or peaceful. We may accept
the inevitable with calm front. We
may be even glad to be done with the
struggle of existence, and leave our
name to be forgotten and our work to be
done by others. We may be able to say
to ourselves, if not in the sense of st.
Paul, 81 have fought a good fight,
have finished my course" l am ready to
lie down and die and cease to be, if this
is my fate. But in such mood of mind
there is no cheerfulness, no spring Of
hope. With such q thought st. Paul
could neither comfort himself nor con
tent Thessalonians. Nay, for himself ht
felt that he would be intensely miserable
If he had only such thought. "If il
this life only We have hope in Christ
we are of all most miserable. "-Princi

COPS ALARM CLocK.-Now, con-
science is Gods alarm clock. God has
wound it up so that it may warn us
whenever we are tempted to do that
which is wrong. 1t gives the alarm. II
seems to say, take care, God sees you.
Stop" How important it is to have q
conscience that will always warn us Of
the danger of sin But if we desire such
conscience, we must be willing to lis.
ten to it. If we stop when it says
''stop" if We do what it tells US to do,
then we shall always hear it. But if
we get into the habit Of not needing its
warning and not doing what he tells US
to do, then, by-and-by, we shall cease to
hear it. Our conscience will sleep, its
voice of warning will be hushed, and We
shall then be like vessel at sea that
has no compass to point out the right
way, and no rudder to keep it in tha
way.-NashviHe Advocate.

THREE METHODS OF DEEP-sET.
TING

The deep-setting of milk is rapidly
becoming established as the surest and
easiest method of having good and
uniform product of butter 1t will not
be many years before every good dairy
man will be deep-setter, and will
wonder why he was SO long before going
into it. The old small pans have had
their day, and will soon be like the do
mestic spinning wheel and loom, but
memories of the past. The large shall
low pans do not suit the neat and care
full dairyman, for they expose the milk
too much to dust, insects and the varying
influences of the atmosphere. The prop
err temperature cannot be maintained in
regard to them, and large numbers of
dairymen. while regarding them as in
some respects better than small pans,
are becoming satisfied by experience that
neither the best nor the most uniform
butter can be made from milk spread
out at small depth over a large surface.
Deep-setting has been practiced for
considerable length of time in limited
locality in New York, but was not wide
ly known until Mr.. Douglas adopted 1t,
in 1870, and began to lecture upon its
advantages throughout New England.
Mr.. Douglas had no axe to grind in this
matter, and deserves and will receive
the gratitude of the thousands, who will
be benefited by this improvement in
dairying, for his exertions to popularize
it. More recently Mr.. Hardin, Ken
lucky dairyman, has taken up the mat
ter, in combination with what is called
the Swedish plan of making the milk
very cold. while the cream is rising, by
the use of ice. The Hardin method is
to place the milk in deep coverd cans,
and deposit the cans in a refrigerator,
made as cold as ice will make it.
More recently Mr.. w. Cooley, of this
state, has introduced the plan of SUBJ
merging the deep cans in ice-water.
Both these gentlemen claim that un-
der this treatment the cream rises so
quickly that the skim-milk is as sweet
as when drawn from the cow. and may
be pro6tably utilized for making cheese.
Both systems are patented.
Mr.. Douglass, unlike the Orange
county, Mr.. Hardin's or Mr.. Cooley
methods, uses pals larger at the top
than at the bottom instead of perpendic-
ular-sided cans, and sets these pals in
ice-water. The pals may be covered or
not. but Mr.. Douglas claims to make
frst-class butter without using covers.
He has not used such low temperature
as Mr.. Hardin or Mr.. Cooley, but there
is obviously no difficulty in doing SO il
desired. Recently Mr. Edward Burnett,
of scarborough, Mass, has devised q
sort of enclosed ice-car, which runs up
on track, and is pushed over the tank
after the covered pals are placed there
in. The cold air and the drip from the
melting ice falls upon the cans, cooling
them rapidly. Probably twenty othe
ways of reaching the same end can b.
worked out, with patents attached, bu
any one can see that the main feature
that of cooling the milk in deep vessel
by the aid of cold water and ice, is the
chief point of value, and this is fortunate
lv unpatentable.

Prof. Stewart, of Cornell University
has found, by actual experiment, that
a quarter of an acre we'll set in clover
is sufficient to keep one cow $50 days
if cut and fed to her, while if allowed
to run on it, it would not probably last
two weeks. Another advantage in the
care of mich cows is that they give
more milk from the same amount of
food, it being found that the walking to
and from the pasture diminishes the
quantity of the milk.
