The Law orLove.

The Christian law is the law of love.
Whoever puts the rules of art above the
law of love is Pagan. He who habi.
tually seeks to crafty his own tastes,
rather than to do good to all men as ne
has opportunity, Is not Christian but
Pagan. The church that, in all it's
appointments and provisions for worship,
and in the development of its social life,
practically seeks aesthetic qualification
more than the helpful service of the poor
and the ignorant who dwell within the
site of its spiEe or the sound of its bell,
Is not true church of Christ. No mat
Ter how orthodox may be the doctrines
taught from its pulpit; no matter how
liberal may be the gifts of the members
to missions in Africa no matter how
numerous may be the converts that flock
to its altar; If the practical relation OF
the church to the people in its neighbor-
hood who most need the Gospel is one of
isolation rather than of sympathy if the
prevalent sentiment OF the church leads
its members to ignore their poor neigh
bors. and to associate only with persons
of culture-pleasing themselves in their
social life instead of bearing the in6rm-
tiles of the weak-then the religion of
this church is Paganism, and it has no
right to the Christian name.
We do not say that most of the
churches of Christ in this country are
essentially Pagan. The contrary is true.
Most Of them, We believe, remember
who Christ was, and what the law of His
kingdom is. But a great many of them
are wholly given over to this false
religion aud there are strong elements
IN many others that tend the same way.
And the dangers that threaten eur
churches from this quarter are much
more serious than those which grow out
OF new interpretations of doctrine. For
a man who sets aside and condemns the
fundamental law of Christ's religion; for
a church that processes to own Him and
vet ignores, practically, the very. people
with whom He has 50 solemnly identified
himself in the twenty-fifth chapter of
Matthew, some solicitude may wen be
felt. There ha3 been q good deal of dis
cussion, of late, about what kind
punishment it is that thoseare threatene
with, who, in the parable Just referre
to, are found on the left hand. Wou

There IS no music box so 4reighted
with melOdiOus harmonies as is the heart
of the Christian full of the promises and
of the spirit of the gospel. The Man
of Sorrows has filed the world with
songs OF gladness and triumph. His
love has harmonized once discOTdaut
passions, and caused jarring conflicts
within the soul to yield 10 all the sweet
entertainments of faith, hope and charity.
1t is not allowed a believer to be always
on the mount of ecstacy, nor all the
while In the Swallowed valley. The dis
eiple can not be exempt from tribulation
or distresses. He must have his Geth-
semane and his Calvary. For him there
is some bitter cup, piercing spear. Yet,
notwithstanding he shall 10y even in
tribulation. H:s soul shall have its
tempted glory, its celestial peace and its
anthems of rapture. His exalted and
exalting faith will enable him to catch
the notes of the celestial choir, and to
hear the strains of the harps before the
throne. Nothing can put 50 much
music into a man as the consciousness OF
being as one with Christ. Selfshness
of whatever sort, begets mOroseness, and

CloYer ror aroo., so,...

Yes, clover for hogs Let them have
clover the year rOund-clOver pastures
in summer and clover hay in winter
There has been a sentiment of this kind
growing up gradually of late in Iowa, as
we'll as elsewhere, and this sentiment has
led to some experiment. Last autumn
l concluded to cut and cure a lot of
clover (second crop), while il was yet
too green for seed, for the special purpose
of feeding it out to my herd of Berkshire
brood sows during the winter. l got it
we'll cured without rain, and stored it
away under shelter for winter use. 1t
would do any one that rejoices in the
happiness of Gods creatures good to see
how they enjoy feed of clover hay once
day. They pick out heads, leaves,
and small stocks, until there is very little
of the clover left--nothing, in fact, but
the coarsest stems.
My notion is, that hogs need more
"roughness" and not so much solid
grain, just as other kinds of farm stock.
Think OF feeding horse or COW exclu-
sively on corn and water al winter, and
corn and water all summer too, for that
matter, as many feed their hogs. Could
they be expected to be healthy, breed
well, or nurse their young well Until
we all get well supplied with artichokes
at least), we would do a fine thing for
our hogs to provide them with plenty of
nicely cured clover for winter.
My ssws are doing exceedingly well
this winter on their clover diet and about
tgo-thirds the usual feed of grain. For
brood sows there can surely be nothing
better than a rough and cooling diet,
instead of solid and heating diet, such
as corn. A Berkshire will live and do
oil IN - % 4I,.
suppose it will generally be conceded
that they will fatten on clover pasture in
summer, and they will do nearly as we'll
in winter on clover saved as above. Per-
haps other breeds will do as well in
winter on clover saved as above. Per-
haps other breeds will do as well as the
Berkshire on grass, but [ only speak Tor
those with which 1 am best acquainted.
/ do not claim that clover will bear a
comparison with corn as fat producing
food, neither do we want to fatten our
breeding stock, We want them active,
strong, and healthy for the sake of their
progeny.
If / were planning a farm for the
raising of hogs would be lavish in the
use of clover seed, aud have large pro
portion of the farm seeded to clover
Then / would be lavish of feucing--
having in small fields or lots, and change
the stock from one lot to the other often
40 as To pasture no lot too close, thus
letting the grass get a good start sgair
before turning the stock on to it. Their
in the autumn l would cut and cure
clover while it is yet green, and NOW i
away in a dry place for winter feeding
A little sprinkling of salt, while it i
being stored away, will add to it,

have what nature seems to demand thu

of this mode of feeding next April, wher

.rnnurInr Corn.

Manuring corn in the hill has the
effect on poor soil. of pushing the crop
forward in the start. Hog manure in
particular will do this. The effect is
quite wonderful, but it gradually dis
appears, and in the fall, when the crop is
gathered, little if any difference is seen
between the MANFRED and unmanured
land. 1t is permanent impression that
is wanted, and this will be the better
secured by applying the manure broad
cast. The reason of this will be seen
when it is considered that the roots of
the corn after il has grown, spread out
IN all directions, occupying with a net>
work the whole extent of the ground.
Heuce the benefit of working the ground,
as also of broadcast manuriDg. This ex.

and leaving unstirred the soil in inn

Manure, however, has a benefit when
applied in the hill. It will attract oil
furnish moisture and give increased
force to the plant, thus favoring it in
drouth and starting it the sooner, Just
as any rich ground will do. The better
way is to follow the plow with an evenly
spread coat OF manure, giving tins
enough to wash out the soluble part
before planting, where sod is turned
down for manure, and the surface sol
needs a stimulant TO start the seed. Thu
better way, however, is to turn dowI
the sod early enough and to follow witt
coat OF manure or some fertilizer, a
corn will do better for the increased
richness, there being sufficient at tn

SIX Million Farmers.

By the last census there were nearl
100000 of planters and farmers who
owned their lands. There were about an
equal number of men who rented lands
or worked SIS farm hands. In the South
these were mostly freedmen, but in the
North farmers sons. The number of
land renters in the North is small as
compared with the number OF land
owners. The whole number of men who
work land for living, including tenants,
hired laborers and farmers sons, is not
far from 100000, and represent about
5000 600 of families, or more than half
the total population of the American
people.
