ing into the bushes in the hope of killing
a bird.
Under some circumstances a cheaper
source of nitrogen than the purchase OF
sulphate of ammonia (or of nitrate of soda,
the objection TO which is that it is too solu-
BILE and thus easily washed away by rains)
may be found. The quickest, cheapest and
most practical of these is the blowing under
of clover or heavy clover sod This will
always furnish nitrogen for at least one crop
of wheat or oats, and really, in the case Of
the turned sod, costs nothing to the farmer.
Another cheap source of nitrogen is the
feeding of rich albuminous foods, like bran,
shorts, linseed or cotton seed meal, to our
stock. Generally we get pay for these feeds
in the benefit to the animals, or an increase
of milk and wool, and get highly nitrogen
Gus manure besides. But to profit by them
in this way we must save the liquid ma
nure, which always contains the greater
part not only of the nitrogen but also of the
phosphates in animal excrement. Professor
Atwater refers to fish and meat scraps, Peru
Wan guano and dried blood, prepared sep
arately for fertilizing purposes, as useful
sources of nitrogen. But as all of these
vary Sc greatly, and are so liable to adulter-
alton, their purchase, except from makers of
high and established reputation, is risky.
As Professor Atwater wisely concludes
Vermont farmers, who are situated at a
distance from market and must pay well for
their fertilizers without getting the highest
prices for their produce, will do best to learn
by experiment and experience what materi-
ais best serve their needs, and purchase &C.
cordingly."

The Great Artist.

Almost every one would like to be beau.
liful, and it is quite right that they should
wish to be pleasing in the sight of Others
A young girl who was examined for admis-
sion to the church was asked what first
turned her attention to the subject of reli-
zion. She said it was because she found she
vas growing so ugly. She caught sight of
her face once when in tempest Of passion,
and the frightful picture alarmed her. 1t
led her to reflect on the character she must
be forming and the probable results as she
grew older. 1t led her to pray earnestly that
her heart might be changed, and God heard
and answered her. He has numberless ways
for leading people into his own path of holt
ness, Just as there are varieties of character
after they enter in.
If you would be beautiful, you must re-
member that nothing mars face like sin.
There is an artist chiseling away at your
features day by day, bringing out the fine
lines and noble expression, or marking
neavy, gross strokes on brow, and mouth,
md cheek. Look at the young man who
mas begun to frequent the liquorsaloons,
aud see what the artist is doing for him.
| remember once, at party at a judges
stately home, prodigal son of the house
brought down, at some ones request, beau.
,iful painted portrait taken OF him when
-hree years old He stood the gilt frame on
he piano and held it there for few min.
ties, with half-bitter curl of his lip, while
many gazed on the beautiful child and men,
ally drew comparison between it and the
lissipated youth who held it up. What
work. the artist had made of the once fair
md innocent features
Every evil thought leaves its trace. When
these become habitual, all loneliness dies out
from the countenance, no matter how sym.
netrical the features. There are faces from
which the pure and noble instinctively
shrink, though the face may be as fair as
Mr.. Flatterwel's
Cultivate all that is good and noble in
Your heart, and your life will correspond
With it. "As man thinketh in his heart
20 he is" and so are his looks.-Selected.
