Beset ting Sins.

Certain Christians make up their minds
that certain sins must be tolerated in
their cases. | know one who has con-
stitutionally a fiery temper, and so,
whenever he gets into towering pas
sion, he cries, cannot help it; l am so
constituted" Instead of weeping before
God, and vowing, 81 will master this
passion; God is omnipotent, and He can
make my temper reasonable one''-in-
stead of that everything else can be con-
quered in him, but not this sin for it is
constitutional. "You know that we all
have our besetments,' says one. What
do you mean by that? Some sin that
you often fall into? Do you call that a
besetting sin? If were to walk tt light
across Chapman Common, and halt
dozen men stopped me, should say that
| was beset but if at an appointed place
party met me regularly, L should not
say Il at was beset. And 50 the sin
which a man often INDUCES in is not
his besetting sin; it is his favorite
sin, sin that will be Ii, ruin. A
bsset5ing sin is one which forces itself
upon man, and ere he can be on his
guard it seizes him by the throat and
throws him down. We must be watch
full, so that the next time the temptation
comes we may escape from it.-Spurgeon

How a Pasture is Made

In Great Britain, Holland, and in
some OF the best dairy districts in the
country, land is selected for pasture as
1T Is for any particular crop. Regard is
paid to its adaptability to produce a
large amount of fine rich grasses. The
soil or sod is prepared to receive the
seed, which is selected with special refer
ence to the production of grass to be
eaten while it is in its green state
Great pains are taken to render the soil
as productive as possible Water is sup
piled or drained off as the wants of the
land require. Weeds and bushes are
exterminated or kept in subsection
Fertilizers are applied as they are to the
land devoted to cultivated crops. Loose
soils are rendered more compact by the
use of the roller, and very heavy soils
are loosened by the employment of the
harrow or scarifer. Most farmers in
this country, however, neglect all these
things. Land is not selected for a pas
ture. Ii it is too rocky, broken, or diff
hcult to cultivate if it is too wet or too
dry to produce good crops of corn, grain,
potatoes, or roots, it is devoted to pas
turage. Land is selected for other pur-
poses, but the land for pasturage is what
was rejected as unsuited for any other
use, Sometimes piece of land originally
productive is devoted to pasture pur-
poses. If this is the case it is generally
after it has been cropped to death" 1t
is first planted to corn for several years,
then sown to grain for period equally
long, and then laid down to grass suited
for moving purposes. After the crop of
grass becomes SO light that it scarcely
pays for the work of cutting, the farmer
concludes that the only thing he can do
with the land is to devote it to sup
porting stock during the summer when
he expects to make the most out of them.
There are no evidences of benefcent
design in most of the pastures in this
country. They are the work of chance
or neglect.

Live Stock statiatios

Live stock statistics for the chief pro-
ducing countries of the world have been
collected and compared by an English
newspaper, from which it appears that
the United States stands first with the
two most important articles of flesh food
cattle and hogs-and that she is Sec
ond In horses, and fourth in sheep, but
that, with regard to the latter two items,
she is making rapid strides to higher
position. These statistics credit the
United States with 100000 cattle, In
dia with 100000, and Russia with
100000. Further, it is shown that
Russia has 100000 horses, the United
States 10,500,000, and Austria 8. 100000.
Australia possesses 100000 sheep,
the Argentine Republic 100000, and
Russia 60 100000 The United States

having 48,000,000 OF goats, India is

Africa with 100000, and Mexico with

Profits of Farming

A study of the census reports of 1880
in relation to the agricultural interests Of
the United States furnishes some interest.
ing information in regard to the relative
profits arising from this chief industry in
various sections of the country. The pro-
ductiveness of the persons employed in
farming varies surprisingly. The high
est productlveness appears in the Pacific
States, where 1l0,667 persons engaged
in agriculture in 1879 produced staples
worth 1881 ,422, or 1855 to each per
son engaged in the business. The next
highest in the list are the four Middle
States, New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, and Delaware, where 755, 635
persons raised crops to the value Of
$343 Isl, 272, or $454 to each person
The Western or Mississippi Valley States
come next in order, with 2,346 ,544 per-
sons producing crops worth $9l3,96O,.
652, or $3.50 to each worker. New Eng.
lands poor soil and worse climate cut
her products down so that Sol ,815 farm
workers produce only $103, 343 500, OF
$342 each. But the astonishing result il
in the South. Here 4,07O,945 laborerl
produce values aggregating 1856, 391,
3O8, or only 1885 to each worker.

Acid Phosphate,

Made of South Carolina Phosphate, dissolved in

soluble and reduced Bone Phosphate of Lime.
This is a plain Superphosphate-som sometimes
sold under the names Of Dissolved Bone and
Dissolved South Carolina Phosphate.
We manufacture it at our works in Richmond
and are prepared to furnish an article of the
highest grade and at the lowest market price
Ba~All the fertilizers we sell are manufac-
tured by us in our own factory, under our per-
sonal supervision. Their well-earned reputation
for uniform quality, high grade and continued
excellence, rests on principles of business man
agement which are beyond the reach of change.
The amount Of capital we have invested is so
great that, considered as a matter Of policy only,
we cannot afford to lower the standard Of our
fertilizers or to make any but the best. And
having made a reputation and demand for
them, it would be worse than foolish to do any
thing to forfeit the confidence of the farmers.
and thereby destroy the business reputation of
lifetime.
We have been carrying on the business for
eighteen years, and claim to understand it and
not only to know what is required in good
fertilizer, but how and of what materials IL
should be made, so as to give the best results on
the crops
1t is our purpose, with the help of our pa
irons, to continue 10 improve, and we hope each
year to send out better goods at lower prices
and TO keep on the market at all times brand
of fertilizers which farmers can buy and use
