Feeding Hay for Profit.

The hay crop in Orleans county this year
was large one and secured in good condi-
ton. 1t should be the aim of every farmer to
feed his hay in a way that will add as much
as possible to his cash income. Yet there
are many farmers who realize that with
their present stock of team horses, dairy
cows and young stock they in winters past
obtained very moderate price for their
hay,-not more than three or four dollars
per ton, and the coming winter promises 10
better returns. The stock must be kept
the cows are dried off early, and rest is
taken from dairy work until the warm and
lengthening days of spring are at hand.
The team is not employed in any lucrative
business, aud they eat their heads off as
their Improbable keeping is often described.
Occasionally, however, a man is situated
as a neighbor of mine is. He cut the hay
upon farm for half of it, and his half must
be fed upon the farm. The question arises,
what stock shall he buy to feed the hay
most proftably, aud what price can he get per
ton In this section, so devoted to dairying
yearling heifers that are with calf can be
bought in the fall for from ten to twelve
dollars. They require but little care, if water
is abundant in or near the yard, and ton
of good hay to each will bring them nearly
through the winter, and they are likely to
sell for from $lS to $40 each, making eight
dollars per ton for the hay.
Cows that are to calve in February or tn,
first of March generally prove profitable
Those should be bought that please the eye
in age, color, size and general appearance
Cows that are all right are often bought in thu
fall for from Sl5 to SIS, and by the last o.
February sold at S25 to $50, consuming abou
one ton of hay and returning from $40 t.
sl2 for it. Cows generally require more carr
than yearlings. They are usually fastened
in stables aud must have daily attention il
watering and cleaning stables, while younl
cattle may occupy warm sheds and thrive
Often, however, there will be some butte
made from cows late in the fall that will
add slightly to the previously estimated
profits. One farmer bought lot of hay AM
to test the profit of feeding it to young cattle
colts and sheep, had the stock fairly priced
and the result was Sll per ton realized 70
the hay. The cases considered are thos
where the experiment was for only one win
ter, the stock being bought aud sold.
Can the farmer who keeps his stock con
tinuously, and only sells the surplus, realiz
a similar cash price for his hayY In som
Instances it has been done with COWS, shee
and colts 1t would be very instructive
many farmers would tell the public how t
get a'good price for hay and feed it upon tn
farm every year. ZE.J

What Makes a House Beautiful.

1t is an excellent thing to have a we'll
kept house and beautifully appointed
table, but, after all, the best cheer of every
home must come from the heart and manner
of the home-mother. If that is cold, and
this ungracious, all the wealth of India
cannot make the home pleasant or inviting.
Intelligence, too, must lend it charm, if we
would have home an Eden. The severe
style of house, order, neatness seldom leave
much margin for intellectual culture. Even
general reading is considered out of the
question for woman so hurried and wor-
ried with her scrubbing and polishing, and
making up garments. A simple style of
living and house-furnishing would set many
bonded slave at liberty and add vastly to
the comfort of all houses. Hospitality
rarely prevails in these spotless line and
letter houses. Company disarranges the
books, and disorders the house, which had
work enough in it before. The mother can
not throw off her carking cares and sit
down for real heart to heart converse with
the old friend of her childhood. Still less
can she enter into the joys and pleasures,
right and delightful to her own children,
because of the extra work of clearing away
it will be likely to make. With all your
toll TO make house beautiful do not neg
lect the first element of ALTO beautify
yourself, body and soul. A sweet loving
word, and warm clasp OF the hand, are
far more to guest than the most elabor-
ately embroidered lambrequins at your win
dow, or the most exquisite damask on your
table. There are bare cabin homes that
have been remembered ever with pleasure,
because of the beautiful, loving presence
there and stately palaces, which leave the
impression of an iceberg on the mind,

John Bunyan's Wicket Gate.

You must have read Mr.. John Bunyan's
description of how the pilgrims came to the
wicket gate. They were pointed, you remem-
Der, by Evangelist to a light and gate, and
they went that way according to his bidding.
A young man in Edinburgh was very anx-
ious to speak to others about their souls; 80
he addressed himself one morning to an old
Musselburgh 6shwife, and he began by say
ing to her, "Here you are with your bur-
den." "Ay," said she. He asked her, " Did
you ever feel spiritual burdenp" Yes,"
she said, resting a bit, 81 felt the spiritual
burden years ago, before you were born, and
got rid of it, too but | did not 60 the
same way to work that Bunyan's pilgrim
did" Our young friend was greatly sur
prised to hear her say that, and thought she
must be under grievous error, and therefore
begged her to explain. "No,' said she,
when | was under concern of soul, / heard a
true gospel minister, who bade me look to
the cross of Christ, and there lost my load
of sin. ] did not hear one of those milk
and-water preachers like Bunyans Evangel-
ist." How" said our young friend, edo
you make that out?" "Why, that Evangel-
ist, when he met the man with the burden
on his back, said to him, DO you see that
wicket gate? No. said he, Il DON'T do
you see that light? Il think do "Why
man." said she, " he should not have spoken
about wicket gates or lights, but he should
have said, Do you see Jesus Christ hanging
on the cross? Look to him, and your burden
will fall off your shoulder He sent that
man around the wrong way when he sent
him to the wicket gate and much good he
got by it, for he was likely to have been
choked in the Slough of Despond before
long. l tell you, looked at once to the
cross, away went my burden" "What,"
said the young man, "did you never go
through the Slough of Despond? "Ah,"
said she, "many a time, more than / care
to tell. But at the first heard the preacher
say, Look to Christ and | looked to him
have been through the Slough of Despond
since that But let me tell you, sir it is
much easier to go through that slough with
your burden off than it is with your burden
on" And so it is. Blessed are they whose
The older grow the more sure am of this,
that we must have done with self in all
forms and see Jesus only if we would be at
peace Was John Bunyan wrong2 Ger
tainly not he was describing things as they
generally are. Was the old woman wrong?
No; she was perfectly right; she was
describing things as they ought to be, and
as wish they always were. Still, expert
ence is not always as it ought to be, and
much of the experience of Christians is not
Christian experience. 1t is fact which
lament, but nevertheless must admit, that a
large number of persons, ere they come to
the cross and lose their burden, go around
about no end of a way, trying this plan and
that plan, with but very slender success after
all, instead of coming straightway to Christ
just as they are, looking to him and finding
light and life at once. How is it, then, that
some are so long in getting to ChristY--C

with smile. He had been bafied, tanta-
lized beyond description in his efforts to
complete the little bit of exploration which
was yet necessary TO finish his task. His
soul was vexed for the exhibition Of wicked
ness around him, when "man TO man." in
stead Of brothers, were worse than wolves
and tigers to each other. During all his
past life he had been sowing his seed weep
ing but so far was he from bringing back
his sheaves rejoicing, that the longer he
lived the more cause there seemed for his
tears. He had not yet seen of the travail of
his soul In opening Africa, he seemed TO
open it for brutal slave-traders, and in the
only instance in which he had yet brought
to it the feet of men "beautiful upon the
mountains publishing peace" disaster had
befallen, an incompetent leader had broken
up the enterprise. Yet, apart from his
sense of duty, there was no necessity for his
remaining there. He was offering himself
n freewill offering, living sacrifice. What
could have sustained his heart and kept him
firm to his purpose in such wilderness of
desolation al read the whole Bible
through four times while was in Many
uema." So he wrote in his diary October
Sd, 1871. The Bible gathers wonderful
interest from the circumstances in which it
is read. In Livingstone's circumstances it
was more the Bible TO him than ever All
his loneliness and sorrow, the sickness of
hope deferred, the yearning for home that
could neither be repressed nor gratified
threw new light on the Word. How
clearly it was intended for such as he, and
how sweetly it came home to him How
faithful too, were its pictures of human sin
and sorrow How true its testimony against
man who will not retain God in his knowl
edge, but, leaving him, becomes vain in hi:
imagination and hard in his heart, till the
bloom Of Eden is gone, and waste, bowling
wilderness spreads around. How glorious
the outbeaming of divine love, drawing neal
to this guilty race, winning and cherishine
them with every endearing act, and at las
dying on the cross to redeem them Aut
how bright the closing scene of revelation
the new heaven and the new earth, wherein
dwelleth righteousness. Yes, he can appre
ciate that attribute-the curse gone, deatl
abolished, all tears wiped from the mourn
er's eye So the lonely man in his dull hu
is riveted to the well-worn book, ever fine
ing it greater treasure as he goes along
and fsin when he has reached its last page
to turn back to the beginning, and gathe
up more of the riches which he has left upo
the road.-Reu. Wiiiiam G. Blditie, ID. d.

A Matchless Sermon.

About the middle of the eighteenth cen
tury John Wesley, preaching in a chapel in
London, observed one of his friends among
the congregation, whom he had never been
able to persuade to preach in his presence.
Without asking his consent Wesley an
nounced that this brother would preach
there the next morning at five o'clock. Tne
preacher thus announced would not say any
thing, for fear of disturbing public worship,
and because he could not well seem to op-
pose Mr.. Wesley's wishes Accordingly, at
five o'clock the next morning he was in the
pulpit, not doubling that Wesley would be
somewhere in hearing. After singing and
prayer he said that being called before them
contrary to his wishes, and as he had done
violence to his own feelings in Difference to
Mr.. Wesley, and was now expected to
preach, weak, inadequate and unprepared
as he was, he should give them the best SER
mon that ever was preached; and opening
the Bible at the fifth chapter of Matthew,
he read our Lords Sermon on the Mount
from beginning to end, without word of
note or comment closing the impressive
service with singing and prayer. The
preacher Of this unique sermon was Edward
Perronet whose hymn,
"Al hail the power of Jesus name,"
is known wherever devout worshipers lift
up their praises to the Lord in the English
tongue We would suggest that some of
those preachers who weary their congrega-
tions in search of new ideas, and spend their
time in reading old sermons and cleaning
the stubble fields OF past generations, might
well initiate this example, and for once
preach sermon that no one in heaven or
earth could reasonably find fault with, the
sermon which our Saviour preached to his
disciples on the mountain and if this
proved profitable it might be followed by
other sermons, addresses, and letters, which
have come down TO us from Paul and Peter,
James and John.-Christidn.

Training for God.

Mrs. Booth, an English lady, in address
ing cultivated audience at st. James Hall,
said some sensible things about the training
of children. Her preliminary answer to the
inquiry, " How can | train my children for
God ?" was, Try to realize your response
bility to God in the doing of it," All
through Scripture this responsibility is very
clearly stated. Try, further, to recognize
your ability for the task God commands
you thus to train your children, and there
fore your ability is presupposed. There is
something very wrong somewhere when the
children of Christian parents do not them
selves become Christians. Resolve, then,
that you will accept this responsibility at
all costs. Strive to qualify yourselves for
the work. the fact that you are Christians
is not enough for this. If there were
more frequent combination Of wisdom with
piety how many fair young lives would be
saved from shipwreckl Will God deny this
wisdom to any who go to him forit p? Search
the Scriptures, and find the principles on
which such training must proceed. Many
pray for their children, but not from the
right motive. There is great anxiety as to
personal prosperity or family credit; but
these, after all, are of the very essence of
selfishness. You must consider your chill
dren as redeemed unto God. / grieve to
say it, but l fear many professed Christians
think more of the training of their horses
than that of their sons Are not our chill
dren heritage from the Lord If we are
responsible for mere earthly possessions,
surely we are doubly so for our children. 1t
is the training of the heart that is most
needed; in other words, the inspiring of the
child with the love of goodness and truth.
That is the nurture and admonition of the
Lord" This is to be accomplished, first
by intoxicating obedience to rightly consti-
tuted authority. look upon this as the
foundation of all moral excellence. You
stand toward your children in their earlier
years in the place of God. If this was
rightly understood, how many broken hearts
would be spared Nowadays it seems
as if the obedience were to be on the
part of the parents. Children of five are
treated as if they were men and women so
they grow up in lawlessness. If they have
not been accustomed to obey their parents
there is far less probability that they will be
willing to obey God. This obedience is the
first element of successful training. Begin
with them from the very earliest years
there is way of combining tenderness with
frmness that mothers can easily adopt, and
it is of the utmost Importance.
