SUNDAY.SCHOOL LESSON.
Sunday. MAY Is. Micah 4: Is.

Sunday, May Is. Micah 4: Is.
THE SAvIoUR's KINGDoM-Micah was
the sixth of the minor prophets, born at
Moresheth in southwestern Judea. He
prophesied during the reign of three
kings of Judea, and this prophecy is
supposed to have been made in the time
of Hezekiah. He lived in troublous
times, and saw the overthrow of the
northern kingdom and the carrying away
of the inhabitants. Idolatry and wick
edness abounded and the hearts of the
prophets were panied at the sad state of
affairs. A large portion of his prophe-
cies were probably never recorded, and
the book, bearing his name was COM
piled from his sayings. The beauty of
the language of this book has been much
admired. The lesson is taken from that
portion of his prophecy that has reference
to Christ's kingdom. He is permitted
to look forward to the time when Christ
shall be exalted in the earth, and in the
''last days" under the figure of the
mountain he sees the nations, meaning
all the nations of the earth, coming to
the mountains, or to Christian places of
worship, where the Lord is teaching his
people to walk in his paths. The claw"
and the word of the Lord shall 60 forth,
and God shall be the judge, or in other
words, the Divine laws shall be revered
and obeyed.
When this time shall come, the nations
shall learn war no more, and the swords
and spears, in other words, all weapons
of war shall become useless, or be
"beaten" into implements of agriculture
and peace. Then will peace reign univer-
sal, every man shall sit down in security
under his roof or vine tree, with nothing
to make him afraid, for the mouth Of
the Lord of Hosts has spoken it. This

brought about, because every one shall
walk in the name, or otherwise, shall be
governed by the laws of the Lord. sir
that day." says the Lord, 81 will assem-
ble," etc. This probably refers to Judah
which was then in captivity, but may
apply to any people or nations that shall
be in downtrodden, suffering or idola
trous condition. They shall be brough
back to mount Zion," or restored tt
prosperity and happiness.
The prophet, in the last verse of tn
lesson, sees the time when the Kingdom
} of Christ in its glory shall be the towe
and the stronghold, and when its domin
ion shall exceed every other power Of
earth. Beautifully in the figures of tn
eighth verse is the glory of the Kingdom
of the Saviour represented.

OATS.

The custom of sowing oats in the
spring and putting in grass seed at the
same time is still too prevalent among
many good farmers. have my doubts
whether oats, at present prices, are
pro6tably grown in New England, when
grown for grain. When sown to be
mown while green to make hay. or to
furnish green feed to stall fed cows, they
may serve an excellent purpose, but even
then | think other crops might be better,
unless the farmer makes his whole de-
peudence upon soiling, in which case
they will come in at time between rye
sown the fall previous and sowed corn.
But, for whatever purpose grown, l
object to sowing the grass seed with
them. Oats are rank feeders upon the
soil. and if the attempt is made to make
the land rich enough to grow oats, and
have something behind for the grass
crop to feed upon, the chances are that
you will have a great growth of cat
straw but the grass will have desperate
struggle for existence, even if it is not
entirely destroyed by letting the sun in
upon it when the oats are taken off.
If you will grow oats, cut them early,
even if you do not cut them for fodder
and as soon as possible pillow under the
stubble, then apply another coat of ma
nure, and in August SOW your grass seed
and you may expect a better crop o.
grass upon the field the next year, and
for several successive years, than you
would get by putting in grass seed with
the oats.-BOStOn Journal.

EARLY MELoNs.-Gardeners generally
find 1t difficult to get as early melons as
they would like for the reason that they
will not bear transplanting. l have
tried way by which they can be start
ed early and transplanted when wanted.
Save all the pasteboard collar boxes and
fill them with the best soil. Any kind
Of boxes will do; they can be made of
wood with bottoms tackled on. After
warming the soil, plant the seeds, about
FIVE to the box. They can now be sunk
in the hot bed, or if you do not have
one, they can be kept in the house by
the stove. When the young plants are
large enough they can be transplanted.
After making the ground mellow, make
hole the size of the box; then slip out
the bottom, and the earth, with the
plants, will slip through without being
disturbed. This plan will do for other
plants besides melons, as cucumbers,
etc., the tender egg plant, and some va
rieties of flowers. By starting plants
early in this way several weeks can be
gained.-Practical Farmer.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1879-05-12

In seeding lands to grass for moving
fields or permanent pasture, a greater
variety of grasses should be shown than
is common in our general practice. Our
farmers seldom use more than four va
rieties, often less. In England the best
farmers use mixture Of 46 pounds per
acre, made up of II varieties of grasses
while for lawns 20 or more varieties are
used-and in each case every sort is put
in for purpose. The result is an ear
lier verdure. thicker sod and a more
lasting turf than is ever seen on our
newl y seeded fields. A mixture for our
seeded ground should at least embrace
the following varieties: Orchard-grass,
redtop, herds-grass, meadow-foxtail,
timothy, red and white clover, bluegrass,
sweet scented vernal grass and meadow
fescue.-Ameriican CultivatOr.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1879-05-12

Al good fertilizer to be applied in the
hill at planting may be made by mixing
100 pounds of fine bone dust, one barrel
of wood ashes, and one barrel of poultry
manure. A small quantity of the mixture
thrown near but not on the seed, and
well mingled with the soil, will hasten
the young growth and aid the crop. An
early start is very desirable as our sea-
cons are none too long.

A CHEAP REMEDY.-Many owners of
gardens, besides being annoyed by the
canker worms, which ascend trees as
soon as the ground opens, are also af-
flicted by a species of black ants which
quite destroy the foliage of some trees
by cOlOniziDg in the tOpmOst branches.
Crab apple, plum and other trees are
seriously marred in this way. Fly paper
Of the adhesive kind tied round the
trees will tell the story of how many
adventurous insects find sticking place.
This fly paper is easily prepared, being
one part linseed oil and four parts resin,
melted together and applied to paper
first and then tied round the trees, or
application may be made to the bark of
the tree.

To DESTROY HOUSE INsEcTs.-To
thoroughly rid house of red and black
ants. cockroaches, spiders, bed-bugs, and
all crawling pests which infest our homes,
take two pounds of alum and dissolve it
in three or four quarts of boiling water.
Let it stand on the fire until the alum
disappears, then apply it with a brush
while nearly boiling hot, to every joint
and crevice in your closets, bedsteads,
pantry-shelves, and the like. Brush the
crevices in the floor of the skirting or
mOp-bOards, if you suspect that they
harbor vermin. Cockroaches will flee
the paint which has been washed in cool
alum water. If, in washing a ceiling.
plenty of alum is added to the lime, it
will also serve to keep insects at a
distance.

ASTERS.

Asters, like the Verbena, are extern
sively cultivated, and are of almost every
conceivable tint, and grow from five
inches to neary three feet in height.
The seed is best started in hot-bed, or
in the house. Some years striped bug
eats into and destroys the hower-the
easiest manner of destroying them is to
brush or shake them off in a vessel of
hot water. The tall varieties should be
staked up, and the dwarf should have
finely cut hay or sawdust scattered about
the plants, as driving storms sadly be-
spatter the flowers and foliage with dirt.

Z&NEsvGLLE, o., December 20.-Seyeral
days ago 1t was stated in these dispatches
that the firm OF Kerns, Herdman & Cor.

thirty Of their blowers and flatteners, and
that Mr.. Gray, Of the firm, had gone to

twenty-five men arrived, being English

In conversation with one Of the discharp.

eut that the firm had provided quarters
Tor the imported men, and did not pro-
pose to let them mingle with the disCharg-
ed employees until after they had entered
upon the performance Of the contract. He
stated further that the real situation had
been misrepresented 10 the foreigners;
that they had been told that the glass
works here had not been running for three
years, and that they were needed TO start
Il up, and holding up his hands, he said: {:
"Look at these rough hands II you don't
believe the glass works have been running.

I've always lived here" He said that
there would be no interference whatever
with the men going TO work but the dis
charged men proposed to let the imported
employees know the real cause OF differ

mated that perhaps they would not 20 to
work.
There is no strike among the men, the
cause Of their discharge being that the firm
wanted them to make more than forty-
eight boxes Of glass per week. The regu-
lation required OF men by tho Blowers

CINCINNATI, December 2l.-The striking
brewers held meeting this afternoon and
decided to permit members OF the Union
to resume work at the breweries where
the demand for higher wages is granted
and TO withdraw their demand in regard
to apprentices at such breweries. This
virtually ends the strike, as the brewers
who have not given the wages demanded
refuse to receive the strikers back on any
terms, they having filled the places OF the
workmen who left. At one brewery The
workmen,who left yesterday returned to-
day. Concession In regard to apprentices
and other matters leaves little in the
newly formed Union worth Contending
for, and the whole disturbapce will proba
bly, end tomorrow.
