CLEANING Coat COLLARS, -ETC.--U y
The best material for cleaning coat col
lars and grease spots of all kinds Is
pure benzine. The article Is sold at
the principal drug stores in cities.
That used by painters is not pure
enough, and has very unpleasantodor
which the pure article has not, and the
little which 1t has soon disappears. If
this cannot be obtained, strong alcohol
(ninety five per centum) will clean
collars very we'll. A mixture of equal
parts of strong alcohol and water of
ammonia is also used. The trouble
with all these liquids is thatnO enough
is used; Il small quantity only softens
and spreads the grease spots; they
should be applied in sufficient quantity
and repeated To not only dissolve the
foreign matter. but TO wash itout. (2).
Two ounces of rock ammonia, ounces
OF alcohol, one ounce each of spirits of
camphor and transparent soap. Put all
together In a large bottle, cover with
one quart of soft water, and when we'll
mixed and dissolved 1t is ready for use.
Spread the coat on clean table, take
an old nail brush, or one of the small
scrubblng brushes sold as toys, dip 1t
in the mixture and scrub the dirty
parts thoroughly. Apply plenty OF
this; then take clean warm water and

partly dry, and press with a heavy iron

MANUREs.- We observe that a large
portion of our farmers (in some places
nearly all) draw out in spring the win
ter aCcuMulations of their cattle yards.
lt is spread as we'll as can be easily
done with manure fork and then
plowed under. Muen of it remains in
unbroken humps, and when covered
with soil continues thus in Il mass un-
derground, where months are required
for it 10 become even partially diIfused
through the soil, and it is never thor
oughlv incorporated till the ground is
plOWed and narrowed for the next
years crop. The Importance, there
fore of fine pulverization and OF thor
ough inter-miXtura is obvious. On
stubble ground it should be first we'll
broken To pieces with brush harrow,
and then more or less mixed with the
soil with a common harrow, before
blowing under. Manure treated in
this way will tell most distinctly on the
coming crops. Our own observations
show mat the value of manure is at
least doubled by such treatment. On
grass land, this lnter-mixture with she
soil cannot be effected but If the pull
verization with the brush harrow can
be done quite early, the spring rains
will wash the soluble parts. If the
manure is allowed to lie in Jumps on
the grass, part of the plants will get
none, and part will have more than
they need. Manure which has been
drawn out and spread in winter on
either grass or stuDble, should be brok-
en- finely with brush harrow as early
as the ground will admit, before sub
sequent plowing and narrowing.
Farmers anxiously inquire how they
can obtain more manure. If they can
double the efficacy and value of what
they have, they will secure what will
be equal to double amount in guam
tity.

FARM AND GARDEN.

SUMNER FooD FoR SToCH.-Beyond
a doubt green grass is the best general
food for stock during the season of the
year that it can be eaten when 1t grows.
No stock-raiser or dairyman, however,
for supplying food for his animals from
April 10 November. Ii he does he will
not realize from them all the profits 1t
is possible TO obtain. The soil is some
times too wet and at other times too
dry to afford either large quantity or
a good quality of grass. Bat cattle
relish a change of food, even when the
feed of pastures is at its best. Horses,
COWS and sheep will eat a few pounds
of old hay each day, even when the
grass in the pastures is cup TO their
eyes" All dairymen, especially those
who are engaged in butter-making,
find 1t to their advantage TO give cows II
ration of dry corn meal, bran, or shorts
during the entire time they are kept in
pasture. They find that 1t increases
che flow of milk, and keeps up the con-
lition of the cows. The increase in
the amount of the butter made more
than compensates for the outlay for the
dry food. Grass is the cheapest as
well as the best food to rely on in
fattening cattle, but they will gain
much faster If they are allowed some
grain during the time they are feeding
on grass. They will also be in n better
condition to gain when they are taken
up for the purpose of stall-feeding.
The change from green grass to hay
and grain is too violent for the good OF
the animals. They should become ac-
customed to eating and digestion dry
food during the summer. The time is
past when good farmers endeavor to
see on how small amount of food they
can keep their animals. They now de-
v'se means to encourage them to eat all
the food they will. The greater the
variety the more food Will stock con-
sumo.

A Fine Sermon Smashed. {"

In the Sunday Magazine the follow
ing incident IS given, which is illustra-
tive OF the modern practice of spiritualiz-
ing texts of Scripture and giving them a
meaning foreign to that intended by the
inspired writer:
A young preacher, graduate of one
of the theological schools of the country.
preached very nice discourse from the
following words: Then, fearing lest
they should fall upon rocks, they cast
four anchors out of the stern and wished
for the day. xvi: 20. Said the
young preacher:
The ship represents the Church.
The four anchors are faith, hope. love.
and prayer. Christians are the crew
The sea represents the great ocean of
lie. The storm that prevailed are the
trials to which we are incident here and
the Island Of Melita, where all are es-
capped safe to land, means heaven" He
dwelt with becoming fervency on the i'm
Portance of casting out the anchors. faith.
hope, love and prayer; the necessity of
abiding IN the ship, in order to be saved .
and the consolation to be found in the
tact that not a hair Of their heads should
be hurt, but that they (the members of the
church, should all reach shore in safety.
The preacher concluded by asking one of
our aged preachers, whom he had invi-
ted into the pulpit, out Of respect to his
gray hairs, to close the meeting with a
few remarks. The old brother arose and
placed his hand on the young theolo-
gan's head, as if giving him phren-oloo-
zeal examination, and proceeded, in his
plain, uneducated style, substantially as
follows
My young brother, you have preached
us a mighty purity discourse to-day but
l m ateard you've made some awful big
mistakes. You said that the ship meant
the Church. If that's so, we haven't got

sir Walter scott,a Do,

Sir Walter Scott related the FOLLOWING
anecdote: The wisest dog ever had,
was what is called the bull dog terrier
l taught him to understand great many
words, insomuch that I am positive that
the communication betwixt the canine
species and ourselves might be greatly
enlarged. Camp once bit the baker who
was bringing bread to the family. l beat
him and explained the enormity of his
offence, after which, to the last moment
OF his life, he never heard the least allu-
sion to the story, in whatever voice or
tone 1T was mentioned, without getting
up and retiring into the darkest corner Of
the room, with great appearance of dis
tress. Then if you said, THE baker was
well paid, or The baker was not hurt
after all, Camp came forth from his hid
ing-place, capered, and barked, and re-
Jolced. When he was unable towards
the end Of his life, to attend me when on
horseback, he used to watch for nv re-
turn, and the servant used to tell him
his master was coming down the hill or
through the moor, and although he did
not use any gesture to explain his mean
ing Camp was never known to mistake
him, but either went out at the front to
go up the hill, or at the back to get down
to the moor side

any Church now, for the ship was all
smashed t. pieces and destroyed. You
also said that the four anchors were faith,
nope love and prayer. Ifthat's so, we
haven't got any faith, hope, love and
prayer IN the Church, as they have been
cast out. And you say that Christians
are the crew. If that's so, they are a
mighty bloodthirsty set, for they wanted
to kill Paul. You tell us that the Island
of Mellta meant heaven. Well, if that's
true, heaven must be mighty snaky
place, as snake bit Paul as soon as he
landed.
1t is stated as historical fact that
that young preacher was never known to
preach that purity discourse again in all
that region of country.

AN ILLUSTRATED COMMENTARY on THE GOSPEL
ACCORDING TO ST. JOHN For Family Use
and Reference, and for the Great Body of
Christian Workers of all Denominations By
Lyman Abbott, D. D., auth or of series Of
commentaries on the New Testament A. S.
Barnes Co, New York, Chicago and New
Orleans. 1879
This is a beautiful volume, freely and beau
tifully illustrated, and will prove valuable
accession to our expository literature. The au-
thor is well furnished for the important task
which he undertakes, qualified alike by his men
tai endowments and his knowledge of the general
literature Of the subject to write commentary
on this deeply interesting part of revelation.
The style is clear and simple, and the exposi-
tons characterized by originality, acuteness,
learning, and practical good sense. We have
not made that careful examination of the work
which qualities us to speak confidently as to its
doctrinal soundness. DIR. Abbott is one of the
editors of the Christian Union, and this is very
suspicious circumstance and we think we OBJ
serve in the commentary reserve on the sub iect
of the duration of future punishment and want
of explicitness to say the least on the extent of
the atonement. But in general the tone of the
work is evangelical and unexceptonable We
think it can be used with great profit, even by
those who may detect in it some things from
which to dissent; and there are few commenta-
ries that reflect the theological opinions of all
Christians. Messrs. A S. Barnes & Co., deserve
great credit for the attractive form in which the
volume is presented.
