USING THE ROLLER,

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman gives some hints on doing
farm work early. Among other things
he recommends the early use of the
roller: GAS soon as the frost is we'll out
of the ground. aud there is no danger of
any more heaving, and the soil is not
too soft lit will be firm enough early if
there is good drainage), apply the roller
to all grass lands whether-meadow or
pasture, and also to winter grain which
needs it even more than grass. This
packs the roots which were loosened and
exposed to the air by the frost. The
winter has been favorable to protection !;
but the spring does always more or less
harm to grass and grain, and this can
not be better corrected than by the
roller, which, in effect, is replanting.
But it must be done before the early,
sharp, drying winds hurt the plant. To
do this effectually the roller must be
much heavier than those commonly in
use; as heavy, with the usual length,
as good pair of horses can draw, better
if three horses have to be used. After
the wheat has been rolled and the plant
has made some growth. having become
well fastened, 60 over once or twice with
light harrow. This is equivalent t.
hoeing the wheat and is destructive t.
young weeds, and it favors seeding dowr
if that has been deferred"

THOUGHTS.
[Suggested while reading Luke xii. 54.]

[Suggested while reading Luke xii. 81.
We greatly fear that many professed
Christians are following Christ spirit
ually, as Peter followed Him to the
Judgment hall, .afar off," We believe
there are many such who really love the
Saviour, yet follow Him afar off for
many reasons, the chief of which is the
fear of the worlds people whom they
consider friends. 1t grieves us much to
think that they are real towards in re-
gard to this, the greatest of all happi-
ness, for we know that following afar
off is to be filed with fear and doubling
as to their safety in the eternal world.
When we follow close to the Saviour
we feel so safe that although the storms
of life beat vehemently against our frail
bark, we are assured that at His bidding
the waves will be stllled; we can feel the
presence of the dear Lord ever about US,
and we know that nothing can harm US
while we are in such sacred nearness to
Him who has power to "kill and to
make alive, to raise up and to cast
down." We earnestly hope that if
there are any who may chance to read
this who are following Jesus afar off
they will cast aside all fear of anything
the world may say, and come up nearer
to the blessed Saviour. You will be
astonished to find how little you really
care for those who will not come near
themselves and are a stumbling block to
those who would come nearer but for
their dreadful influence. May God
hasten the day when all who would be
followers of our blessed Redeemer will
come so near to Him that they may
touch the hem of His garment. When
they will be clothed with His garments
of peace and righteousness. when none
will fear to speak ''a word for Jesus
in whatever company they may find
themselves, and may we all SO live thai
none can say we are following Jesu:

OLD PASTURES.

Many farmers are at loss to know
what to do do with their fast failing
pastures, and we present for their con-
sideration what one of their number,
James R. Walker of Springfield, is
doing, as recorded in late number of
the New England Farmer. which is
worthy of careful perusal. He says:
sin the first place the pasture had
come to be worthless. The nutritious
grasses which formerly fattened all stock
turned upon it, had been crowded out
by bushes, brakes, hard hack, golden
rod. and many other worthless, bitter
plants, which neither sheep nor cattle
relish or will destroy. Granite boulders
were quite plenty. The surface had a
slight eastern inclination, with subsoil,
and brook running through its south
ern part.
I tried to improve IL acres Of the
eastern part of it, and the first thing l
did was to remove the more objection

1880 ploughed four acres more, and
in the fall | ploughed the remainder of
the field. l settled the bed of the brook

TRIBUTE

To the Rev. G. B. Thomas late lamented Pastor of the

Deep hushed and still the voice of joy and gadness.
Yet loving Father, know we it is Thou
Who givest us to drink the cup of sadness.

Dear Pastor, is thy mission with us DER?
How have our prayers wishes blended
Would that lives. deeds had blest thee more.
Ere yet thy tolls, thy faithful labors ended.
How much we loved thee now, alas. thou'rt gone
Broken the ties of people and pastor!
But thou hast fallen with thine armor on,
Bearing aloft the standard of the Master.
Long shalt thou live in memories clear and sweet.
Deeply We mourn thee, thou good and gifted.
And that our hearts should be thy shrine it's meet
Now from thy soul the clouds of earth have lifted.
May faiths bright beams beguile thee of sorrow.
Thou who hast taken her lov'd one her stay,
Give Thou glimpse of the beautiful morrow.

FLOORS TO POULTRY HOUSES

Experience has convinced US that
large number of poultry men have mis-
taken ideas about the kind of flooring
that should be used in poultry houses.
The habit, as it was years ago, of having
boarded floors proved generally ruinous
to the fowls, particularly those confined
during the warm season. Boarded floors
absorb much of the moisture and volatile
properties of the droppings and no
amount of scrubblng can make them
fresh or free from vermin and bad odors.
Some poultry raisers consider wooden
floors better adapted to secure dryness,
but this is mistake unless there is a
free circulation of air between the
ground and boards. If sunlight and ali
cannot penetrate between there is moth
ing to prevent moisture from settling

Too MUCH HAY.-Filling a horses
rack with hay, as some persons do, and
permitting constant supply to remain
before the animal, is one of the most
probable means of producing disease,
and most positive in rendering animals
unfit for fast work. Large supplies of
hay have the effect of making the stom-
ach large and weak, the belly in course
of time becoming pendulous. Not only
does the stomach increase in capacity,
but the large intestines become enlarged.

THE OLD BIRCH ROD,
DEDICATED TO THE PEOPLE OF cRAFTsBURY
BY THE AUTHOR.

DEDICATED TO THE PEOPLE OF cRAFTsBURY
BY THE AUTHOR.
My stern old sire worshipped God,
By faith in tough birch rod;
When our footsteps went astray
In dark forbidden way,
Well we knew, at close of day
He would find US; keen his search.
Then, o then, down came the birch!
That worthy sire, with iron hand,
Stood a bulwark in the land;
Did we quarrel by the way.
Did We dare bad words to say,
Or profane the Sabbath day,
Or a precept of his church;
Then down came meier failing birch.
That stern old sire, meath the sod
Lies at rest, with broken rod;
But memory fingers long.
The haunting tones breaks in song;
Wakes the music, loud and strong,
Ofmy fathers bnchen stick
When We danced in double quick.
Worthy friends, your hairs are gray,
But you quarrel on your way,
And by greed for gain and fame,
Christian faith, and fairest name
Often bear the darkest stain.
Though you're Pillars of the church,
Oft you need to feel the birch.

THERE rs NO DEATH.

Lines written by Miss G. Gilman in Memoram
her father, Edward Gilman, who departed this III
March l2th 1881.
There is no DEATH The stars go down
TIE rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heavens jeweled crown
They shine forevermore.
There is no DEATH The leaves may fall
And flowers may fade and pass away;
They only wait. through wintry hours,
The coming of May-day.
There is no death An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread
And bears our dearest ones away.
And then We call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all desoate,
He plucks our fairest. sweetest flowers,
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones
Made glad these scenes of sin and strife,
Sings now an everlasting song
Around the tree of life.
Where'er He sees smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for faint and vice,
He bears 1t to the world of light
To dwell IN Paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave US but to come again;
With joy we welcome them, the same,
Except their sin and pain.
