In the second place the resurrection
Of Christ had the effect of at once solv-
ing all former mysteries as to His
doctrines. While living He had spoken
to them in parallels which they could
not comprehend, They could not even
understand their own Scriptures, which
He SO often quoted, as to His sufferings,
sacrifcial death and spiritual kingdom.
The resurrection, when it took posses
sion of their minds as a settled fact,
poured in a new world of light on all
His teachings. 1t revealed the deep
meaning of His sublime instructions.
1t explained everything He had ever
said. 1t threw new light over all the
Scriptures, and gave them an authority
never recognized before. He who had
come back from the dead, as He had
SO often affirmed that He would, was not
only true, but He was henceforth to
them the very Lord of truth. There
could be no more doubt now as to any
thing He had ever said of Himself, and
of the sublime doctrines of His King
dom. His resurrection was the key
which fitted all His past utterances,
fitted all the sayings of Moses and the
prophets, and unlocked every mystery
1t was the solution of all difficulties, the
end of all controversies, the full ex-
PLANTATION of all those "bard and dark
enigmas " for which the Jews were so
often ready to stone HIM, and on &C
count of which, we are told, many wko
had protested to be His disciples when
He was alive, did in fact forsake Him
and go back to the world. Did any
one of them who had seen Him alive
again after death ever forsake him?
Not one. All forsook Him and fled on
the night of His betrayal. But every
one OF them, after His resurrection, was
ready to die in defense of the truth.
Still further. The resurrection of
Christ was to His disciples new and
mighty inspiration of peace and hope
and Joy. 1t not only brought to their
minds new world of truth and convic-
ton, but to their hitherto desponding
hearts, a new and eternal world of joy.
1t inspired their souls with new mo-
tives. and with aspirations for glory and
Immortality never felt before. The as
surance that their beloved Master was
alive again, that He was at Gods right
hand in Heaven, and that they would
soon follow Him, and see Him there en-
throned in celestial power and glory
this inspiring hope, this certain knowl-
edge henceforth for them threw o
charm of joy and halo of glory over
their mortal lives and over death itself.
This was not only the end of all doubts
and fears, as it regarded the past, but
this was the key that unlocked all the
bright and blessed future. Well might
St. Paul in this very passage exclaim as
climax of joy: "Brethren, I count
not myself to have apprehended; but
this one thing l do, forgetting those
things which are behind and reaching
forth unto those things which are be-
fore, press toward the mark for the
prize of the high calling of God iu
Christ Jesus" Now the important
practical thought is, that what the res
direction of Christ was to His first dis
ciples, the same may it become to us, il
we will but accept it fully as they did

What Is q RMsNeL Of Corr =

All grains in their natural state contain
more or less water, the amount depending
upon the conditions by which they have been
surrounded. In Indian corn the moisture
may reach as high as 90 per cent. and prob
ably never fall much below 20 per cent. at
tho time of harvest. Unfortunately but lit
tic is known of the exact composition of
grains as they come from the harvest field.
All published analyses give the moisture
content as the sample came to the chemist,
but usually omit to state its age manner
of curing. Prof. Brewers special Census
Report on the cereals gives ninety-eight
analyses of all varieties of Indian corn, hav-
ing an average OF IL per cent. of water, with
a range of from 4.l0 10 COOS per cent. but
most of the samples were undoubtedly taken
from well cured corn.
The curing process Of Indian corn has been
made the subject of careful experiment ut
Houghton farm. Samples are selected at
the harvest from each of the thirty one ex-
perimenta corn plats, and, being grown
with as many different manures, re epresent a
wide range of composition. These samples.
are then stored upon suspended racks and
under conditions which allow of rapid dry
ing, and weighed at regular intervals during
the succeeding year.
There is a loss Of from 10 to Ii yer cent. of
moisture during the year, and weighed
bushel at the end of this time contains this
amount of moisture, less an equal quantity
of solid matter, than the weighed bushel at
nufNest, yet tne ieRal WelHnt- nfty-slN POUNDS,
in most OF the States, remains the same for
both conditions. The only departure from
this occurs in Ohio, where n legal bushel of
corn weighs seventy pounds from harvest to
Jan. I, and sixty-eight pounds from that time
OH. At Houghton farm, the thirty-one lots
of Indian corn. selected from the crop of
1882, gave in December 70 lowing the har-
vest an average weight per bushel of 81. ]
pounds. The following April bushels from
the same lot averaged 52 pounds; in July,
53.4 pounds; and in October, one year from
harvest, 55.4 pounds. The crop OF 1881 was
followed through a similar series of changes.
and averaged 55.5 pounds per bushel one
year from harvest; hence Indian corn does
not reach standard weight per bushel until
after years drying. In business this is
important. The increase of two pounds
from July to October was a gain OF B., per
cent. in value, IL sold by weight, but not
taken into account If sold by measure

Il Tribune and Farmer correspondent at
tributes failure of modern fruit-culture to
lack of fogs, because of drying up of water
courses and pools. Fogs, he thinks, prevent
frost and serve as a sort of stimulant and
protection. He suggests making u few little
lake,ets In aud around our farms, so, when
the fruit-hilling frosts come the fog would
be little ahead. The best way of obtaining
humidity is by thorough drainage which
brings the land into state to retain mois-
turc.

Sudden Appearance of weeds.

The hitlusrialtst explains the unexpected
appearance of noxious plants thus: 1t is no
uncommon thing for weeds to grow year
after year in such diminutive form that
none but botanists recognize them. Ragwe2d,
or others us large or larger, may mature,
though no more than an inch and half
high. Thus from year to year the ground
will be polluted with the seed. When the
soil receives some different treatment favor
able to the development OF the plant, it at
tains its full size, surprising every one by it,
great abundance where none had been OBJ

T. b. Terry, who has created quite an in
terest in the minds OF many farmers by his
articles upon the plan of making a s., eciaIty
of a single kind OF crop, describes very
simple and easy way adopted by him TO
make use of swamp. The piece of swamp
was so situated that 1t could not he titled, so
an open ditch was put through it, stumps,
logs, and bushes cleared oil, and the piece
left for the grass to come up. His stock
had access TO the higher land surrounding
the swamp and contented themselves as best
they might with what grass they could get
there, refusing TO touch that in the swamp.
Mr.. Terry then fenced the three acres of
swamp by itself, und early in the spring
turned his COW into the inclosurc, and there
she stayed. giving yield of thirty pounds OF
milk per day up to October.

The Indians of Omaha have always
been accustomed to work on land in

allotments have been made.
The rage for Indian relics connected

They are manufactured in two parts and
are submitted to high pressure. When
completed they will hold spirits, acid,

cost is very low.
For some time past it has been known
that colony of bees had established

THE POULTRY YARD.

The Department of Agriculture publishes
the following remedy, recommended by DIR.
Salmon, for preventing this destructive dis
ease that annually carries Off SO many fowls:
. For this disease very cheap and most
effective disinfectant ia q solution made by
aGd ing three pounds OF eulphuric acid to
forty gallons of water Tor one-fourth pound
OF su phuric acid to three and a half gallons
of water), mixing evenly by agitating or
stirring. This may be app led to email sur
faces with small sprinkling-pot, or to
larger grounds with a barrel mounted on
wheels and arranged like a street sprinkler.
In disinfccting poultry-houses, the manure
must be first thoroughly scraped and
removed beyond the reach Of the fowls: 4
slight sprinkling Is not sufficient, but the
floors. roosts, and grounds must be thor
oughly snturate1 with the SO ution, SO that
no particle of dust, however small, escapes
being wet. 1t is impossible to thoroughly
disinfect il the manure is not removed from
the roosting-paces. Sulphuric acid is very
cheap, costing at retail not more than 25
cents pound, and at wholesale but or q
cents. The barrel of dis,nfecting solution
can therefore be made for less than 81, and
should be thorou hly applied. 1t must be
remembered. too, that sulphuric acid is a
dangerous drug to handle, as when undi-
lnted II destroys cloIhing and cauterizcs the
flesh wherever ii touches"
