DIFFICULTY IN CHURNING.-Cream grows
more difficult to churn as the distance from
the time of calving increases, and the diff.
Guilty is enhanced by feeding late cut or ripe
fodder. If early cut hay and roots are used
for winter food there will be no trouble with
churning in winter, though it will require
little more time than when the cows live on
grass and are nearer the time Of coming in.
The ease of churning cream depends chiefly
on the size of the fat globules of which the
cream is composed These are largest in the
early part of the milking season, and grow
smaller as the period of milk giving is pro.
longed Other circumstances being equal,
the fat globues are largest when the COW has
food rich in fat, such as cotton seed meal OIL
cake, green grass or corn meal. They are
small when cows are kept on straw, deadripe
corn stalks, late cut hay, ETC., especially when
they have been in milk long time.
EMPLOYMENT FOR HENs.-Hens will tear
around the barn.ysrd like old scratch if
there is anything to be found by the effort
Scatter small quantity of corn around the
manure heap, and the hens will tear the heap
to pieces without mistrusting that they are do
ing better pulveflZlng tnan ole hlreu Wan
with fork and shovel. Bury their feed and
make them scratch for it, and then they will
keep out of such mischief as egg eating, feath'
er pulling, etc. and the exercise will also pre-
vent them from becoming too fat to lay. Ex
ercise is a great essential to the health Of
fowls and scratching and picking should be en-
couraged by furnishing bullock's head and
entrails for them to tear at as occupation
THE MEADows.-This is good time to
provide the meadows with fertilizer for next
years crop. A manure like ashes, or their
equivalent in bone, potash and the like, will
do the best service for next season by being
. sown this year and at as early a day as prac-
ticable These ingredients are 'slow" as the
farmers term it. and if applied now will do
we'll. They will not be lost, as neither the
potash, phosphoric acid, nor other similar in
gradients 90 off in the air under any circum-
stances. heterogeneous manures thus applied,
like fish scrap, guano, and dried blood may
lose portion of their nitrogen, but this is
not the case with ashes and their equivalent,
which are wholly without ammonia.

SHORT SERMON.

SHORT SERMON.
Drink no longer water, but use little for thy
stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. list
Tim. v:23. ........ ...' ..
Many worthy Christians apply all the
promises and injunctions of the Bible, from
Genesis to Revelations to all men, without
due discrimination, when, in fact, many prom
ises and admonitions were as personal as Dr..
Nutgalls prescription for Tommy's whooping
cough, ard can only be appropriated by those
possessing precisely the same needs, tempera-
ments and surroundings Of, the persons or
people addressed. - ''......'..
Paul's advice to Timothy has excused
many dram for which there was no cores
ponding iuirmities; the argument being
water is bad for the stomach, and wine is
good, else the above words would not been
written by one of such undoubted uprigh
ness as the Apostle Paul. .........
DR.. Nutgall would have been astonished to
find his rather severe remedy for Tommy's
whooping cough, going the rounds Of the town
as sure cure for measles, worms, canker,
rash, teething, fevers, and all ailments to
which children are liable; and no less aston.
ished would Paul be, could he see to what de-
basng habits his prescription to Timothy
has brought many weak Christians, and 9th.
ers who are too ready to find excuses for de-.
praved appettes in teachings Of the Bible.
Only wine is prescribed in the text, and
yet such a broad insigni6cance is given to
that word by modern usage, that it includes
brandy, whisky, gin, and all poisonous decoc-
tions representing the outgrowth of the pure
juice of the grape, to whicl, Paul referred as
good for the stomach of Timothy, which in
6rmities were 50 we'll known to him. ..
That pure wine is gond for the stomach in
certain cases, no physician will deny, but all
physicians will tell you that the constant use
of any medicine, lessons its good effect, and
overdoses often produce the most perncious
results =; while impure compounds are no bet
ter than Slow poison. r" Th31tE4A3 Z .
Such are the manufactured wines and
liquors of the present day, said to be import
ed from grape growing countries, bearing so
little comparison to the pure wine of the east
in Paul's day, that the best of them are very
questionable medicines. .. . ......, =,
Then Paul advised the use of little wine.
That item in the prescription is Ignored when
one copious draught follows another, and in
6rmities truly become Of daily occurrence,
because of such repeated indulgences.
Were the bad results of such medical
treatment Of ones self, confined solely to the
victim it would not be matter Of so much
moment, but when wives aud children must
be stinted in food, that this panacea for the
"stomach's sake may be always at hand,
then the excuse for such medicine becomes q
shameful absurdity for which no condemna'
tion is too severe.
In6rmity One would think the in6rmity
of habitual dram drinker lay in his head,
not in bis stomach until, by the potency Of
his drams, he becomes completely in6rm, and
past being cured by little .wine.-SeLected.

COULDN'T Fool HER.-A nice young man
employed in the Kansas Pacific Office resolved
the other day to present bis beloved girl with
a nice pair Of shoes. He accordingly procur-
ed her measure and went into one of the fash
ionabe boot stores on Main street and pur-
chased two-dolar pair of shoes. In order
to make the present appear more valuable ne
marked So upon one OF the soles OF the shoes,
and at his request the clerk put receipted bill
for S. into one of the shoes The presenta-
ton was made and the lovers were happy, as
lovers should be- But mark the sequel
The girl examined the shoes in the daylight
and was not satisfied. She was convinced
that her lover had been cheated in the pur-
chase of such pair Of shoes at that price. She
decided to 60 and change the shoes and obtain
a better bargain. Yesterday she appeared
in the store and selected a pair of shoes, price
$3.50, and politely requested the clerk to take
back the shoes for which she said her husband
had paid s5. The receipted bill was produc-
ed in proof, and the boot man found it impossi-
bic to 90 "behind the returns" The smart
woman took her $3.50 pair of shoes and OBJ
tanned $3.50 in money, and went home happy
and satisfied. The boot seller sent bill for

MEDITAT1oN-This word is almost obso-
lete in the Christian Church. Our religious
life is almost entirely active, and outward.
Few of US give such prominence to secret
prayer, the study Of the Word and medita.
tion upon it as did the saints of former ages.
Yet how emphatic are our Saviour's direc-
tions on this point, in Matthew vi, l6. EN-
ter thy closet" "Shut the door," "Pray to
thy Father which is in secret.

shut himself in his room, and neither eat nor

they spent more time alone with God. They
would come from their closets, as Moses came
from the Mount, with shining faces; and
having power with God, they would have
power also with men.-Pacifc.

The SWEET LOOKING OLD LADY.-"Do
tell me the name of that sweet.looking old
lady who sits behind US at Church. She has
spoken to us several times so pleasantly y, and
it's SO unusual" Thus said q friend to me
not long since. Her family had attended
that Church for several years. Not only were
they regular attendants, but at the stated
periods they came to its communion table ;
they were members "in good and regular
standing their faces were familiar to most
of the congregation, yet it was unusual" for
any one to speak to them. Ceremony is un-
doubtedly to be observed in this world-it is
often necessary; but may not Church.mem-
bers sometimes venture to speak to one an
other, even without formal introduction
There are few Of US who have not an intui-
tive sense to whom we may speak without
hurting our dignity. That "sweet.looking
old lady" preached little sermon to our
friends which warmed their hearts for sever
al weeks after.
II maintain" says Dr.. John Hall, "that
the shaking of hands, rightly administered,
is means of grace. So, shake hands at the
market, on the street, and, above all, at
Church. Some people quit Church for want
of this means of grace" = --- ~ =

can lay his finger on half dozen, perhaps
even fewer, which have made a lasting i'm

ADMIT THE SUN-Don't shut out the sun,
even though the carpets suffer little under
his ardent CLEAN. We are more active under
the influence of sunlight, and can think better
and act more vigorously. Let us take the
airiest, choicest, and sunniest room in the
house for our living room-the work shop,
where brain and body are built up and re-
newed- and let us have bay window, no
matter how plain the structure, through which
the good twin angels Of uature-sun-light and
pure air-can freely enter. Dark rooms
bring depression of spirits, ;mparting sense
of confinement, of isolation, of powerlessness,
which is chilling to energy and vigor; but in
bright rooms is good cheer. Even in gloomy
house, where walls and furniture are dingy
and brown, we have but to take down the cur.
tains, open the windows, hang brackets, and
let the warm sun stream freely in, to bring
health to our bodies and joy to our souls
