Permanent pastures should consist OF

A naturally moist soil, such as a

top soil, is the best land for pickles.
Daily picking is desirable, as sny that
are left too long exhaust the vines.
A French chemist reports that water
made slightly salt, and to which, uhen
boiling, bran in the proportion OF one
quart to every gallon has been added
has been found in a series of expert

twenty-five per cent, if given to the
COWS as their ordinary drink.
Every farmer who has to contend

that when the small stones are to be
picked two men with dung forks will do
more work and do it easier than four

See that your cattle aud sheep and
horses have plenty of salt to eat. No
matter whether you like salt in your
food or not, your stock will give you a
vote of thanks for the little extra trouble

Faith 10 not Always Faith.

Words mean very much or very lit
tie, according to the use made OF them;
and according to the spirit and to the
measure of understanding in those who
hear them. Words that are employed
with reference to spiritual truths have
pre.eminently a suggestive rather than
9 detnitive value. They, peculiarly,
are liable to great misconceptiou.
Perhaps there is no word that has a
wider range of values, according to the
use made of it, than the word faith"
1t runs from a dry and juiceless bundle
OF abstract statements to the life. giving
and life enjoying act of connection with
the personal Savior that secures rest
in Him forever. In any discussion of
the nature or the elements, or of the
results of faith, it is all-important that
it be understood on both sides of the
discussion in what sense the term 'faith'
is used.

Arab Bey.

Arab Pasha, or Ourabi-B Boy, as tho
Arabs call him, is the son OF q promi-
nent parsonage in the province of Char.
kirch, IN Lower Egypt, and il about
~forty-6ve years old. He received an
excellent education in q military school.
He early imbibed progressive ideas,
which he has lever failed to
propagate among his country
men. After leaving the mill.
tary school he entered the army and re-
NAMED for some time in the ranks.
Although Ismail Pasha patronized him
he did not advance above tho rank gof
major under that ruler. On three diff
ferent occasions he endeavored to obtain
the rank OF hey or colonel, but Ismail
replied to the person advocating his
canse: "If l create him a colonel, he
will create a revolt in the regiment IN
der his command in less than Fix
months" The truth of lsmail's
words vas soon made apparent to
his son and successor, TeWfk, who
shortly after his accession gazetted
Arab a colonel. Prior to the I'd Of
February, 1881, the date of the military
troubles which resulted in the present
conflict, he commanded the Fourth
regiment OF the infantry guard. That
Arab is a man of great determination is
evinced by what he has accomplished
ever since the beginning of the year.
Then he vas considered to be the most

In arranging perches for fowls allow
six inches for each bird. The perch
should not be placed high when there
is no space for the birds to fly down
with a gradual swoop, as is natural to
them when roosting in open places.
Three feet from the ground in con-
fined places is high enough, and it
should be far enough from the back
wall TO keep the tail plumage clear.
A prominent fruit culturist in Scran-
ton, Pa, uses the following as a remedy
and preventive of pear blight: A pound
of potash or concentrated lye, such as
is used for making soap, is dissolved in
twenty-five gallons of water and poured
around the trees, a pailful at a time
two or three times during the growing
season. BE claims it is thoroughly
effective, not only as a preventive, but
that i. will check and stop the blight
after it begins to show, the affected
limbs of course being cut away.
A writer in the Agricultural Gazette
of England says that milk from good
COWS, we'll fed and we'll housed, will
contain over Twelve per cent. OF SOLIDS.
Milk from ordinary COWS, poorly fed,
will not contain more than eleven and
a half per cent. of solids. Now it is
the solids in the milk that produce our
cheese and butter, and as the difference
between eleven aud a half and thirteen
is about fourteen per cent it follows
that u yield of cheese and butter
might be thus most materially increased.
