A good many farmers and coun-
try residents pay one OF their
heaviest taxes to the weather. They
pay this tax by leaving wagons,
plows, harrows, rakes, trowels,
spades, and other implements ex-
posed to dews aud rams and sun,
by which they become weak and
useless twice az quick as they
would with good usage and pro-
;ec,ions. That is, fifty per cent.
OF their actual value is lost. 1t
cannot be otherwise, unless care 10
exercised, Tor dew is very destruc-
tive to all wood, and sun cracks
admit rain and moisture to the in
terror fibers to work injury there.
Ii you do not believe this, try keep
ing your tools and implements un
der cover and protected from the
weather, and see it they do not lasI
enough longer to pay for tie trou

Tim Bunker Ou Learning
from Mistakes

We have been a good many years
learning what Crows were made for,
and the lesson is not very we'll un
derstood. This year we are likely
to get additional light. The spring
was wet in Hookertowr, and bet
ter prospects for grass were never
held out. The crop was good, but
after it was gathered the grub OF
the May-bug began TO show the re
suits Gifts depredations, both in the
pastures and in the meadows. My
attention was called TO them by the
hocks Of crows in the big pasture,
and the adjoining fields. | did hot
suppose there we've so many crows
in the neighborhood. They fire.
Quent tie shore in winter, coming
long distances to ted upon the
clam banks. when TODD is scarce
elsewhere. But their iavorlte diet
in summer seems to be the worms
that come from the May-bug. They
liza We great skill in detecting the
presence Of this grub, and if the
crows were projected i'll their
period of Incubation, they would be-
come so numerous as to extermlnate
these pests, or to reduce their
numbers so much that they would
do no serious damage. In some OF
my fields the grass roots are de-
stroyed in large patches SO that
you can scrape of the stubble with
a rake. There can be no good
crop of hay uutil these places are
re seeded. For several generations
War has been waged upon the
crow, because lie pulled corn out
in the retired fields on the edges OF
Woodland. Town and State have
put bounties upon him, and he has
been hunted at all stages OF the
year, to get the bounty money
The boys have sought out his
nesting place, climbed tall trees
and cleaned his nsst of the callow
young. Men have put dead car
cass back OF the barn to entlce him
within gun-shot, and he has been
treated as q deadly enemy. He has
been branded with a bad name, End
.scarecrow' has been applied to all
those non-descrlp; contrivances
that disfigure corntields to keep off
the birds. Still he indicates his
right to be, and the response which
Nature makes to this uureasonlng
warfare is, Project the crow or do
worse A few hills OF corn in
spring time is small damage COM
pared TO the grass cop Of a whole
farm destroyed by grubs. On the
whole, the wiseacres at the State

Love makes long service short, and
hard service easy. Nothing is pain
which love does. Aud this is Gospel
obedience. 1, is faith working by love
which retines duty into grace-the
commandments are exalted into
privileges the ordlnsncOs become hap
py means of fellowship with God
The believer meets God 10 them, aud
by face converse he exercises and
improves his love. He draws near TO
God, and God draws near TO him IN
prayer, in praise,in hearing the Word,
and the Lords Supper, and in all
sabbath duties. Ia these ways God
msnifests bis gracious presence, and
the believer rejoices in 1t. God com.
municates bis grace, aud the believer
receives it with thankfulness.l Ws

sheep ns 'Ren0vatOrs of the
Soil.

method Of keep up the vigor of the
soil Is by pasturing sheep. The
sheep and the turnip are insep-
arabic, and it is due 10 sheep
pasturlng that the farms OF that
country do not dcteriOratc in quail
ity. Their plan of managing sheep
for such urpose Is very different
from ours. We turu our sheep
on pasture and allow them TO roam
at will, picking and selecting only
such heritage as suits them best,
occasiouing thereby a greater dis
tribution Of manure than we wish.
Sheep dung is very concentrated
and fine and If the animals can be
made to iced on small spaces they
not only sirew the manure thickly,
but press it firmly into the earth
with their feet. Ii is very rich in
nitrogen and Professor johnson
claims that this is due TO the fact
ct the iced being mtrogenized by
the air taken into tue lungs and
from thence into the system and
discarded. This, however, is not
generally accepted as correct tor II
such is the case with sheep it is
also equally applicable to all other
animals. Its heterogeneous qualities
are, however, very apparent, owing
to its highly concentrated condition.
Following is practiced to a great
extent IN this country, especallyin
the South. 1t should be substituted
BY sheep pasturing. To manage it
properly the sheep should behurdled
on particular locations changing
regularly at stated periods. 1t has
been claimed that one hundred sheep
hurdled on one acre of ground for
fifteen days will manure the land
sufficiently for tour crops. The land
is first sowed with turnips, the
Sweds Or rutabagas being preferred,
as they keep well. Even in winter
these turnips remain for the sheep
As sheep eat close to the ground,
they leave but little OF the turnips.
The hurdles are made portable, and
are easily removed or changed. As
soon as tie inclosed piece OF ground
has been eaten off entirely the hur-
die is removed just sufficiently to
clear that piece to an adjoining
one and place occupied by them is
then reseeded with something else.
As sheep arc not adverse to any
kind OF iood, a choice can be made
by the farmer as TO the next crop.
Among the many plants suitable
for this purpose are peas and beans.
Cows peas are excellent Il sheep
Will eat tie pea vine, peas, hulls,
and roots, 100. if lie can get at
them. Heavy, tall grasses are not
preferred, and so eager are the
sheep iol feeding close 10 the ground
that they have been known to
bec,me poor in flesh on heavy
clover pastures that were high.
They love the young, tender grass,
and nearly all kinds Of weeds make
good feed ior them.
Ii cannot be denied that by a
system Of Ludling and frequent
changing OF location. they can be
OF imcalculabie benefit on poor soils
Instances are known in which worn
out lands have, by being turdled
with sheep, been brought to the
highest degree OF fertility, 1t is also
= very chcap method of restoring
land. tor the sheep so pastared
Will not only add an increase to the
value Of the land by bringing 1t
back to fertility, bat will with wool
and carcass pay handsome divi-
deud OF any amount OF capital
expended IN such an enterprise.
