THE SPLINT IN THE HoRsE.-It is
we'll known to all owners of horses that
there is what may be called tunor
which at first is callous and afterwards
becomes bony, which sometimes grows
upon the horses leg, the base resting
upon the line of union of the shank bone
and the splint-bone, which frequently
causes the horse to 60 lame-indeed
almost invariably when it invades the
knee:joint, and which is frequently be-
yond the reach of the farrier to cure or
remove. A short time ago, however,
a farmer who appeared to be familiar
with the ailments of the horse informed
US that he used a remedy for it which
was completely successful with him; and
having obtained the ingredients in the
belief that the ointment might be of
service in similar cases, we append them
as follows Equal parts of oil of amber,
oil of spike, spirits of turpentine. Mix
we'll and apply twice a day, and grease
with little fresh or unsalted lard; or,
what is better, the marrow from an
uncooked beef-bone. 1t will make the
parts sore, and it will "run'' little,
but each one must be his own Judge In
the frequency of the application after
it becomes somewhat sore.

STARTING EARLY VEGETABLEs.-Win
dow boxes answer nearly all the pur-
poses of hot bed for a garden in which
the number of plants required is small.
A kitchen window is preferable to any
other, as the air is usually more moist.
Sow seeds in window boxes, and when
the plants are up, turn the boxes every
day, to bring the opposite side to the
light and keep them from growing to
one side. When the seedlings get two
or three trough" leaves, those beyond
the seed leaves should be "pricked out"
or planted in other similar boxes, setting
them an inch or more apart, according
to the kind. The young plants may
grow in these until time to put them IN
the open ground. Set the box out doors
in the middle of every mild day, or
open the windows, in order to harden
the plants. The kinds usually sown in
hotbeds, frames and window boxes, are
cabbages. cauliAowers and others of that
family; lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and
egg plants; the last two will do a
month later. Cucumbers, melons and
early squashes may be started later, a
few seeds to give plants enough for a
hill, in a small box or four inch pot.
The roots of these are large and do not
succeed in small pot.

PEAS.

The most delicious vegetable is the
garden pea. This may be grown in
great variety so as to mature at regular
intervals during the summer and fall.
one mistake made in growing peas is to
have the ground too rich. This pro-
duces vines instead of pods. Another
mistake is in not planting early and late
peas at the same time. A great gap is
thus made in the supply at a season
when the want is much felt. Last sea-
son | succeeded, after many attempts,
in having peas all through the season.
Early in April two rows of each of the
following varieties were planted on the
same day. The picking began on the
Oath of May, and lasted until the 28th
of June. A second planting was made
on the Goth of April and third in May.
Another planting was made IN the field
with oats for fodder crop in June.
The varieties were Landreth's Extra
Early, Carter's first crop, Tom Thumb,
Alpha, Blue Peter. Advancer, Little Gem,
Dwarf Marrowfat, Laxton's Prolific,
Champion of England, and Challenger.
These are set down in the order in which
they matured. The kind planted for
fodder was the large black'eye marrow
fat. A quart of each of these varieties
will give a good daily supply for a
moderate family and leave some fol
canning or drying. 1t may be peril.
nent hint just now that it is good time
to get supply of pea-sticks.-Net

There are many gluttonous horses
which swallow down their oats too fast.
Some horses will dispose of four quarts
of oats at a few mouthfuls, which of
course are not masticated and conse-
quently do the horse but very little
good. Such horses are generally poor
in flesh. This is habit of which the
horse can soon be broken, and learn to
eat his grain slowly. If the manger
extends across the whole width of the
stall, put in partition dividing off
about one-fourth of it, into which place
a number Of smooth cobble stones all
the better if piece of rock salt is add
ed. Next put in the oats, which mix
well with the cobble stones the horse
will thus be compelled to pick out the
oats slowly, which he will do thorough
ly. and at the same time as thoroughly
masticate.-American Cuitivator.

WHAT Is A CHRISTIAN ?-If you come
to US and say you are praying man,
we answer we are glad; but we would
like to ask your wife and children what
your praying is doing for you? If you
say you daily read the Bible, that is
right, but let us ask your partner in
business how much of its teaching you
practice II you say you are member
of the church, we are glad of that, if
you are worthy member, if not-we
are sorry for the church. But let us go
on to the street to see whether the peo-
pie you daily meet think you ought to
be church member. So it comes to
pass that bundle of Christian duties
may be dry and useless, or they may be
the evidence of sincere Christian life.
Whether man is a Christian or not
depends entirely upon the principles
which govern his daily life. and the
harvest the world is gathering from that
life Golden Rule.

NO DECLINE IN CHRISTIAN
WORK.

The Christian Union has a series of
interviews with prominent New York
and Brooklyn clergymen on the alleged
decline of church attendance and work.
Among these are the Rev. DR.. H. G.
Potter, the Rev. Dr. John Hall. the Rev.
Dr. Thomas Armitage, the Rev. J. B.
Thomas, the Very Rev. Thomas S. Pres
ton, the Rev. DR.. Charles f. Deems, the
Rev. DR.. Howard Crosby, the Rev. Dr.
J. A. M. Chapman, the Rev. Henry
Ward Bcecher, and the Rev. Robert
Collyer. Their testimony is absolutely
uniform that there has been no falling
off IN church attendance. Each of the
denominations represented appears to be
in as prosperous condition as it ever
was-some of them much more so. The
pithiest reply is from DIR. Crosby: 81.
know of no decline whatever in church
attendance. think things are just as
they have always been. 2. think the
sermons of to-day are as effective
as they ever have been. 3. All such
things as church fairs, private theatre
Gals, ETC., do decrease spirituality, but
don't believe there are any more Of them
now than there always have been. f. l
don't know any difference in church
work, except that there is a great deal
more of it, and that it is spread over
! larger surface. 5. | don't think the
| devil is bit more active now than he
has always been. and [ think good
deal of modern thought is a modern
humbug. | don't think modern thought
is any better than ancient thought. |
think there is great deal said about
this nineteenth century that is all bosh,
and the old doctrines are just as pre-
cious and just as much priced as they
ever WERE Father Preston says:
What | consider you mean by modern
thought is infdelity, and It's influence
is very bad But the Catholics are not
often taken by that. because the doc
trines of the Church are so plain and
simple that they must believe or else
cease to be Catholics. If they doubt
any one of the doctrines of the Church
they cease to be Catholics. Therefore
this modern liberalism does not affect
US much. | think it has produced very
serious effects among some Protestants.
[ do not like to attack them. But
think, In my experience, that there are
a great many Protestants who really
have no fixed belief, and I think that
this modern liberalism has something to
do with it. 1t seems to me, looking back
on the experience of good many years,
that Protestants have not generally as
fixed creed as they used to have. "
Mr.. Beecher says: Il think that GER
tainly there is far greater number Of
persons in the Roman Catholic Church
that implicitly believe than in the Prot
estant Churches. But, if you ask me
whether the thinking classes in the two
Christian sections are more troubled
with doubt in the one than in the other
] would reply that doubt, as the mother
of investigation, is like pimples which
are freeing the blood from morbid mat
ter, and are signs of health. In thu
Roman Church there is a vast amoun
: of thought which does not, or dare not
express itself; it is kind of suppressed
: measles. In the Protestant Church i
r is encouraged to come out on the ski
and there is speedily healed"

PAYING FERTILIzERs.-The RatraL
NeoO Yorker says: We believe, 10 this
country of cheap land. it is more profit
able, generally, to feed animals, and
obtain the extra manure by purchasing
food, than to pay money for commercial
fertilizers. More pounds of nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash can be ap-
piled in the manure made faom 500
worth of grain, linseed meal, cotton seed
meal and wheat bran fed to animals,
than if the 500 we're paid direct for
commercial fertilizers, and besides this,
the 800 paid out for food may be
received back in the growth or fattening
of the animals, and the manure really
costs little or nothing. 1t would extend
this answer too long to give examples,
but this is the direction that our farm
ing on depleted lands should take.

CHILDREN's CONFESSIONS.

The evangelist, the Rev. Mr.. Ham
mond, conducted children's service at
the Blow Street Methodist church, To-
ronto, last Sunday afternoon. After
prayer he catechized the children as to
the different names given to our Saviour
in the Bible, and asked them if they
could say by heart the verse in the New
Testament beginning "Suffer little chill
dren." One little girl. about nine years
old, stood up to say it, but Mr.. Ham
mond requested her to 60 to the platform
and do so. This she did. and on being
asked to state how she became Chris
tian she gave he experience in clear
and intelligent manner. without the
slightest hesitation. Her story briefly
was this: Some of her companions asked
her to 60 to Sherbourne Street church
to Mr.. Hammond's services, as it was
great fun to see the people crying. She
did so, and she and her companions used
to run out of the church laughing when
they saw people crying, but one day a
lady came up to them in the church and
told them of the crucifxion of Christ in
such a way that they had never heard
before. The lady prayed for them, and
then they prayed themselves and asked
God to forgive them for their sins.
Since then she knew that she was a
child of God. Prayer was again offered
and a hymn sung, and Mr. Hammond
told the children several anecdotes both
amusing and pathetic. After the formal
service was over the Sunday-school
teachers and others who had volunteered
to assist them conversed with the chill
dren as to their spiritual condition
choosing certain passages in the Scrip
lures to explain it to them.

GREENHOUSE AND WINDOW PLANTS.
The increasing heat of the sun is
favorable to Towering, but also to the
rapid propagation of insect pests. Fu-
migate with tobacco, when practicable,
and if this cannot be done, syringe with
tobacco water at frequent intervals. For
the Red Spider, thorough drenching
with water is the most effectual. Album
dant fresh air will be needed and for
this the windows and sashes may be left
open much of the day time; this will
help to harden off the plants that are
soon to 60 out-of-doors. Fuschias and
other plants that have been resting may
now be started into growth. Bedding
plants should be propagated rapidly.
Sow seeds of annual Towering plants for
transplanting to the borders.
