THE Use OF sOILING CROPS.

There is great economy in the right
spending of what Is earned or saved So
ne may grow crops for soiling success
ally and waste his opportunity in the
sing Of them unless they are fed in a
roper manner.
When partial soiling is practiced for the
purpose of helping out pastures. or with
the intention Of manuring a poor piece Of
rnd by keeping cows and feeding the
rops upon it 90 that the manure may be
-pread over the surface, two ends are
served
But the method is somewhat different
from that practiced for complete soiling-
n the one case a field that provides some
;.asture is used for what it is worth and the
fodder Is cut and carried to the cattle and
led in racks; IN the other the cows are
Kept in yards and stables, the fodder IL
arried to them, and their quarters are
we'll Uttered and bedded with absorbants
and materials for composts and manure.
There is more labor involved in the lat
er method. but the larger product de-
rived from the cows, through the high
feeding; the quiet rest and absence Of un-
necessary and wastefuI exercise the free
.lom from troublesome insect pests ard the
saving Of time and waste Of material and
product in driving the herd back and
forth to pasture. all these repay the extra
labor literally and the food is all paid for
nv the large quantity Of manure made.
Therefore the practice is profitable up
on dairy farms, gram farms and fruit
farms; anywhere in fact. except upon
such farms as cannot be plowed and must.
therefore be devoted, solely or chiefly t"
pasture. In either Gaze the gain by avoid
ing the waste and cost of fencing the
whole farm into fields is 10 be considered.

a Good Introduction.

Favorite remedy was introduced into Con
necticut in 1877, at the solicitation of Rev.
j. g. Smith, Of Hartford, who, after having
suffered two years from Chronic Liver Dis
case and Indigestion. obtained the medicine
and was cured. This faithful pastor, think
ing of the bodies as well as the souls of his
people, at once commenced the advocacy of
"favorite Remedy" among them, and has
been the happy instrument Of saving scores
of lives. Favorite Remedy is now "a well
and favorably known in Connecticut rs along
the Hudson. One dollar a bottle. All drug

would make better men of them, and if an
effort was made to procure employment for
them, even greater good might be accom-
plished. Such institutions have resulted in
most beneficial manner in several of the
Eastern cities, and the experiment is worth
trying in st. Paul.
A hungry man can have his heart touched
quicker by a sandwich than by bushel of
religious tracts. So man in want of a
nights rest can be rendered amenable to
Christian influences far sooner if he is pro-
vided with it than if he was allowed to sleep
in the street. If the churches would apply
some of the money they now expend in USE
less and foolish ornamentstion to work of
this character, the result would soon be Wis
ible not only in an increased membership,
but in an improved tone of the public NOR
ais. BY such means the heather that are
now so plentiful in our cities might be
brought to knowledge of what this new
doctrine-new to them if old to others-is.

this matter?

From inquiries conducted by Prof.
Hermann Cohn, of Breslau, since 1866,
it appears that short-sightedness is rare
ly or never born with those subject to
it, and Is almost always the result of
strains sustained by the eye during study
In early youth. Myopin, as it is called,
is seldom found among pupils of village
schools, and its frequency increases In
proportion to the demand made upon
the eye in higher schools andin colleges.
A better construction of school desks,
an improved Typography of textbooks,
and sufficient lighting of class-rooms,
are the remedies proposed to abate this
malady.
