AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC.

"A foreign grower of lilies attributes
his success in part to the use of deep
pots, those eight inches across the top
being fully fifteen inches deep.
The desire for large animals is not
always judicious. With cows it is ques-
tionable if the largest are the best, when
the cost of feeding is considered.
Steamed Brown Bread.-Two cups
of corn meal, one cup of middlings, one
cup of molasses, one pint of sour milk,
one teaspoonful of soda; steam three
hours; then place in oven to brown.
Ginger Cookies.-One cup of sugar,
one cup of butter, one-half cup of hot
water, one. tablespoonful of soda, the
same of ginger, and one-half teaspoon
full of grated alum. Mix soft, roll thin
and bake quick.
Fruit Cake.-Two cups of sugar,
one cup of molasses, one cup of butter,
six eggs, one teaspoonful of saleratus;
make pretty stiff with flour; fruit, a
pound of each, one tablespoonful of Gin
namon, cloves, allspice, mace, etc. 1t

1t will be well for farmers about to
drain field to subject the tile to the fol-
lowing test: To determine whether or
not drain tile contain Jumps of unslacked
lime place them in water for few hours.
The Stacking of the lime will crack the
tile. If laid INFESTED serious results fol-
low in time, as the cracked tile are liable
to admit distractions that destroy the
value of the drain.
"A writer in the Vine and Fruit Re
cor1er says he has discovered from prac-
tice that sulphur, one ounce to gallon
of water, and sprinkled or syringed over
grape vines, just at nightfall, will destroy
insects and mildew and leave no bad
show afterward. When sifted as pow
der it has an unpleasant and oftentimes
injurious effect, although it is acknowl-
edged a specific manure of value, even
when applied broadcast upon the soil.
1t is great mistake with many OF
our farmers to think their main business
is to raise grain, hay, cotton and hogs,
and not to have strawberry plant on
the farm. Some one has remarked that
"God might have made a better berry
than the strawberry, but he did not,
and to think SO few of our farmers raise
this delicious and healthy article of diet
Fine fresh Strawberries, imbedded in
cream and sugar, would make the farm.

All protesting Christians should re-
member that the foundations of all true
religion are laid in Righteousness, honest
dealing and holy living, and that no de-
gree OF activity in church work, or of lib
crafty in giving to Christian enterprises,
however ggeat, can exempt them from
the obligation to strict integrity in every
relation of life. God accepts no brides
or substitutions in duty. The only re-
ligion valuable in His sight is that prac-
teal kind which obeys the Golden Rule,
is proof against all temptations to bust
ness g crookedness," gives full weights
and measures, is as scrupulous g on
change" as in church, and involves
thorough soundness of heart and life.
This is the only religion that COM
mends itself to men. The only effectual
testimony to the truth of the Gospel any
man can give, is that which is testified
in his life. This is the visible, MAYNARD
side of religion, and all that men have to
judge from. If a man shows the spirit
of Christ in righteous conduct, in gentle
words and loving deeds, he is known by
these fruits to be Christian, and his re-
ligion is felt to be of the right kind. He
bears fruit that men can see and taste,
and is living witness of the excellence
of Christianity "known and read of all
men," He has both faith and works-a
faith which works by love and purifies
his heart and life.
In one of his Relations" Sweden
borg gives the conversation of an angel
with 9 one who was in faith conjoined to
charity" The angel said: Friend,
who are you?" He replied: 81 am a
Reformed Christian" "What is your
doctrine, and thence, religion?" He re-
piled: Faith and charity" The angel
asked: "What is faith?'' He replied:
"To believe what the Word teaches"
Again he asked: "What is charityP"
He answered: Ito do what the Word
teaches" Then the angel said; " Have
you only believed those things, or have
you also done them?' He replied: Il
have also done them" The angel of
Heaven then looked at him and said:
my friend, come and dwell with u.s."

Government Lands.

In the arid public lands of the remote
west, including Arizona, Dakota, Idaho,
Colorado, Nevada, Montana, New Mex
leo, Utah, Wyoming, and parts of Kan
sas, Nebraska, Oregon, Texas, with
Washington and the Indian Territories,
there are, in round numbers, not less
than 900,000,000 acres. Not one per
cent of all this land has as yet been sold
by the Government, and it will not be
sold for many years, unless some means
be found to supply it with water. 1t has
been proposed, lately, to sink expert
mental artesian wells on the arid land,
in order to irrigate it. Government sur
veys show that 200,000,000 acres of the
whole are mountainous, and that they
could not be rendered fertile with any
quantity of water. An equal amount of
land consists of lava beds, without either
soil or vegetation, and of desert plains of
drifting sand. This leaves 100000, 600
acres of plain and valley susceptible of
high cultivation, if they only had water
But very small percentage of this can,
under the most favorable circumstances,
be reclaimed by using, however efficient
ly, the rivers and small streams, and a
great deal, now employed for pasturage,
has such scanty grass that twenty-five
acres are often needed for the support of
each head of cattle. In Colorado alone
there are 100000 acres of such poor
land, capable, with proper irrigation, of
producing twenty-five to thirty bushels
of wheat to an acre. The west wants
Congress to appropriate $50, 000for boring
artesan wells, and it is believed by some
of the ablest biologists that the wells
could be sunk. Private enterprise will
not undertake the experiment; but if the
experiment were once made successful,
there would be attendant capital to carry
on work which would prove to be of
inestimable value.-N. Y. Times.

Baptists in this country, will hold its an

The JeaCiSh Messenger, referring to
the coming conference at Madrid for the
adoption of measures to protect Jews,
speaks gratefully of the influence of the
United States in behalf of oppressed Jews,
and says the United States representative
in Morocco is the best and most powerful
friend the Jews of that country have, and
they have warmly acknowledged his serv-
ices.
The total value of church property
in the country is placed at 100000, 900.
Should it continue to increase in the
same proportion as in the past, it is esti-
mated that its value in 1900 will reach
the sum of $4,000, 900, or one-third
more than the National debt The &C.
clesiastical property in New York exempt
from taxation is valued at $4,000, 600
The various sects in the village of
North Greek, Warren County, apparent
ly live in peace and good will toward
each other after manner somewhat re-
markable. On the 31st of March the
Roman Catholic, Methodist and Free
Will Baptist congregations held a union
festival to raise money to be applied to
the building of an Episcopal church at
Raquette lake in the Adirondacks.
The Golden Rule of Boston, in an
article on the mistakes of young preach
ers, points out some of their most COM
mon ones The first is unnecessary
loudness," of which it says that mere
loudness adds no power to the thoughts
or the words uttered" Another is too
much of an effort to be earnest" and
they are reminded that " self-possession
and calmness strike deeper" A third
mistake is too much conscious rheto-
rio" Sermons written with reference to
their rhetoric may instruct but will not
move.
The theological students of Prince
ton Seminary have issued q circular
showing that in the Presbyterian Church
North only two and one-half per cent. of
the ministry are engaged in foreign
work. The Congregationalists send the
largest per cent of all branches of the
American Church; that is 4.29. The
Presbyterians South are next with 1873;
the Baptists of the North have 1.01; the
Episcopal Church, 81. Southern Bap-
fists, out of 9,145 ministers, send only
six to foreign missions. An appeal is
made for more missionaries.
Paris is to have municipal school
of horticulture; all species of plants used
for ornamental purposes, in manufacture
or medicine, will be carefully cultivated
and preserved in a museum annexed to
the school. A public course of practical
botany will be given, and the pupils of
the municipal schools will be taken by
their teachers on stated days to the gar
dens and museum, where the nature of
the plants will be explained to them.

A MiIlionaire's Career.

MILLIONAIRE BoRLAND landed IN tnls
country from Ireland when a BOY ana
Worked on farm up the Hudson Tor Slo
a month. In 1852 he went to San Fran
cisco and soon afterward began work IN
the mines for 81 a day. Since that time
he has made and lost fortunes. he Is
represented by the Daily Mining Ne'os
as SAYING: "1n 1872 bought 500 shares
of Central for less than $4,000. This
mine was soon afterward cut up and put
into California, and the redistribution
give me 1850 shares. | never paid an
assessment on it, for none was ever called
for, and in no time the stock went up to
$40 share, when | sold. That paid
pretty well. Let me see; | paid S5,O00
and sold for 1925, 900. That left me a
profit of $4,000. That was one of the
best speculations, but not quite as good
as another one that 1 was in almost at
the same time. / bought 500 shares OF
Consolidated Virginia for $50 share
and paid two assessments on it, which
brought up the price to $50 a share.
This mine was also =" cut up just about
this time, and my 500 shares spread out
into 1850 shares. l held this stock for
two years, when it went up like a flash.
l sold out in 1874 for $3.50 share. 1t
cost $4,000 for my stock, and l sold it
for S2,062,5 800. That was pretty good
interest on the money. One Saturday
the stock was selling for $3.50 share,
but held on. The following Monday it
was $500 share. / tell you it took a
pretty strong head to stand that. | was
getting rich not at the rate of a million a
minute, as they say, but 100000 day
or so; but that was fast enough. No
body ever knew anything about this till
it was all over. | never told my wife
and family any of my business affairs,
and never kept any books. The only
book that 1 kept was little pass-book
that carried in my inside coat pocket,
with a record of all that bought and
sold, and the price. never let any one
see this, and never brought it out except
sometimes on a Sunday afternoon, or
when was alone. My heavy losses in
1873 were on Sierra Nevada and Union.

The habit Of throwing responsibility off
of your own shoulders on to party, sect
or corporation has increased in modern
times. There are very few men who are
not guilty of it. We suspect that one
reason why women are considered more
conscientious and religious than men is
or corporate bodies. The routine of their
lives makes them personally accountable
to God. That the tendency is in them is
shown by the fact that they are just
as ready to be dishonest provided the vic
tim is corporation. What woman thinks
it wrong to smuggle or cheat the Govern
ment? IN old times the individual man
stood face to face with God; the terrible
Presence forever held perpetual reckoning
with his soul, though he fled to hide in the
uttcrmoSt parts of the morning, or made
his bed in hell. Now, he is part of q
