read the following, taken from the

web at the height Of from four to eight
feet from the ground, The cordage ci

considerable time before weaving, and
especially at that period and to the end
of the year. Beginning with a handful
when the colt is week or two old, it will
certainly pay to gradually increase the
amount to four or FIVE qusrts by the end
of the year. After that, if the pasture
and hay are first quality, oats are not of
the same importance, but should not be
withheld entirely. The amount that
can be pro6tably given the second and
third years depends on the conditions
already mentioned.
Peas and good peavine hay answer the
same purpose in forming healthy bone,
muscle and nerves in growing colts, calves
and lambs that one ,ecures by feeding
oats. Clover abounds in albuminoids
and bore material. Hence, hay made
nominally of red top, timothy, bluegrass
or orchard grass IS improyed bya mixture
of clover. All kinds ofstock are benefited
by having a variety of food daily. 1t is
an old maxim, "a change of pastures
makes fat calves"

u.rro,x,up Corn and Wheat.

The Country Gentleman has the fOlS
lowing sensible remarks on the imporr
taut subject of narrowing corn and
wheat
The operation here described refers to
the use of the common harrow, which,
when passed over the plants in spring,
may do but little injury, if everything
is favorable, and the soil of the right
character. 1t is nearly always beneficial,
for the same reason that the cultivation
OF corn increases the growth, by breaking
the crust and giving a mellow surface.
We have been for several years in the
practice OF narrowing orn in spring,
and always with successful results, by
using the smoothing harrow, which has
some decided advantages over the com
mon implements. 1t uproots the
wheat it destroys all small weeds give;
a mellow surface to the earth, and the
operation may be repeated two or three
times at any time when the ground il
dry enough to bear the team, from The
period when the wheat begins to grow
till a foot or more in height. 1t ha.
never failed TO increase the crop severa
bushels per acre--not un~irequently a
many as ten and in rare cases The crol
has been nearly doubled. We hav,
sown clover seed at the last narrowing
the operation slightly covering it, and !
has taken as we'll as when sown in earl,
spring in the usual way.

If we attempt to discover what it is in
the personal character OF Jesus Christ,
as shown in His life, that thus attracts
such permanent admiration, it is not
difficult to do so. la an age when the
ideal OF the religious life was realized in
the Baptist's withdrawing from men, and
burying herself in the ascetic solitudes
of the desert, Christ came, bringing re-
ligion into the haunts and homes and
everyday life of men. For the mortifi-
cations OF the hermit, He substituted
the labors of active %benevolence; for the
fears and gloom which shrauk from men,
He brought the light OF a cheerful piety,
which made every act of daily life re-
ligious. He found the domain of religion
fenced off as something distinct from
common duties, and He threw down
the wall Of separation, and conse-
Grated the whole sweep of exist
ence. He lived a man among
men, sharing alike their joys aud
their SORROWS, Identifying the hum
blest details of life by making them
subordinate to the single aim of His
Fathers glory. Henceforth the grand
revolution was inaugurated, which
taught that religion does not lie in selfish
or morbid devotion to personal intsrests,
whether in the desert or the temple, but
in loving work and self-sacrifice for
Others.
The absolute unselfshness of Christ's
character is, indeed, its unique charm.
His own life is self denial throughout,
and He makes a similar spirit the test of
all healthy religious life. 1t is He who
said, at is more blessed to give than to
receive" who reminds us that life, like
the wheat, yields fruit only by its own
dying; who gave us the ideal of lie in
His W absolute seIf.oblivion. We feel
instinctively that this gospel of love
alone is divine, and that we cannot
withhold our homage from the only per-
fectly Unselfsh Life ever seen on earth.
There is much, beside, to which l can
only allude in a word. He demands
repentance from all, but never for a mo.
ment hints at any need Of it for himself
With all his matches lOwliness, he ad
vanCes personal claims which, in a mere
man, would be the very delirium of re.
ligious pride. He was divinely patient
under every form of suffering, a homeless
life, hunger and thirst, craft and violence
meanness and pride, the taunts OF enc,
mics and betrayals of friends, ending il
an ignominious death. Nothing of al
this for a moment turned him from hi
chosen path of love and pity. His las
words, like his whole life, were a prayel
for those who had returned him evil fol
good his absolute superiority to every
thing narrow or Local, so that he, a Jew
found a religion in which all mankinC
are a common brotherhood, equal before

possession before rulers, priests and gov
ernors, which sets him immeasurably
above them his freedom from supersti
ton, in an age which was superstition
almost beyond example, his superiority
to the merely external and ritual, in al
age when rites and externals were thu
sum of religion ; all these considerations
to mention no Others, explain the attrac
ton of his character, even when looked
at only as that of an ideal man.

Re Industrious.

There is no situation in life which
affords so much comfort and enjoyment
as that of having body and mind con-
stantly employed. Although there
appears to be in the minds OF most people
a natural antipathy to labor, yet 1t is
we'll known, and generally admitted by
those whose circumstances have at times
required incessant labor, and at other
times perfect leisure and exemption from
care, that there is vastly more enjoyment
in industry than in idleness. 1t is the
plain and express duty of every person
to be Industrious, and to improve every
hour of their time in the full exercise OF
their natural strength and faculties in the
most useful employment. No circum-
stances in life can furnish an excuse for a
neglect of this duty. We would not, in
these remarks, wholly prescribe reCrea
ton but well-oalanced minds will find
the most healthy and pleasant recreation
in exercises which are decidedly useful
and beneficial to themselves and others,
For example: A boy takes pleasure in
the exercise of hauling a little cart
loaded with earth or stones, though
there be no advantage in the removal OF
those articles but does he find any less
pleasure under a consciousness OF doing
good, when removing the same materials
from a place where they were IN encum'
brance, to another place where they aIt
wanted? Certainly not. Or ii a miss
finds pleasure in walking in the fields
that pleasure is rather enhanced thar
otherwise, if she can accomplish some
thing useful by the walking.
1t is a common thing for men, durin!
their labor, to derive an enjoyment from
the anticipation of the ~pecuniary com
pensation which they are to receiv
therefor, but this kind of enjoyment i
far inferior to that of one who rejoice
during his labor in the consciousness
of performing a duty, and a sense 0
divine appreciation. The scriptures q
divine truth, which alone furnish pei
feet laws and rules of duty, and guild
to happiness, contain many injunction
to industry and diligence in business
and that for the purpose not Of acquil
ing wealth, bat Of doing good. TIL
word "avarice," is not to be understoo
to imply a desire of earning or gaining
but Of retaining or boarding what ha
| been acquired of wealth. But our sui
( iect is the duty OF industry and diligenc,
!, If any man entertains and cherishes th
j, true principle of sympathy and benev'
t lence, deriving more pleasure in r%elievin
n the sutferings of his fellow mortals, tina
in the possession Of such articles
wealth as are utterly indispensable, the
d will be no danger Of his being either id
or misery. But the neglect of improv
is ment of an hour of time is as decidedly
crime as the wasting of money or pr
70 perty; and the neglect of doing good

The use of some active fertilizer early
in the spring will be beneficial on almost
all crops. When used with discretion
these are very profitable. But at this
season only those that are perfectly
soluble will be found available.
EEEP stock off pastures while they are
soft. The poaching will cost ten-fold by
summer, what the stock may get of the
very early grass. There is nothing to
gain, but much to lose, even if only the
pasture is concerned. The feed will not
be lost il allowed to grow a little longer.
To MAKE unprOductive fruit trees
bear cut from each limb close to where
it DIVORCES from the trunk, a piece o.
bark about four inches round the limb
one inch in width, and Immediately re.

Good and Cheap Fence.

A correspondent says: GA post and
rail fence, better than anything l have
ever seen, patented or unpatented, is
made as follows: Set the posts nine
feet apart, or two feet less than the
length of the rails used. Bore a hole
one and a,half inch through the posts
one foot from the ground, and at right
angles. with the direction of the fence.
Bore three holes above this nine inches
apart, one above the other, and drive in
wooden pins in all four holes to project
four inches on each side of the post.
Lay your rails of these pins, close to the
post on each side. Bore a threeseight
inch hole above the top rail, and another
one n and oneshalf inch below the
bottom pin. Take q piece of wire ten
orr eleven feet long, and pass half itF
length through the top hole, and eros;
it under tho top rail; cross it again
under the second rail, from the top
cross il again under the third rail, and
finally cross it under the bottom rail by
slipping the ends Of the wire through
the small hole, and bring them around
in front of the post and twist them
together. This makes a cheap, strong
fence, that will turn horses and cattle
but ii sheep are kept, u board should be
nailed at the bottom or a fifth rail
added"
