B6~ Nature did great deal for Paul, but
grace did a great deal more. Paul makes
the frank acknowledgment that such was
the case. "What l am," he says, ~ am BY
the grace of Cod" God displays his great,
ness in the blue vault of heaven studded
with a countless number of stars; he dis
plays his greatness in the hills and in the
mountains, in the little brooks and in the
majestic rivers. Gods wisdom and power
all in grace. Light is brought out of dark
ness, good out of evil, a wicked sinner is
made the servant of the Most High! This
is wonderful.

g9- There is in reality great difference
between the perils and dangers which befall
the righteous and those which befall the
wicked. God in his providence chastises
his believing people, but he Furnishes sin,
ners. With those who trust in him God
deals as kind but wise father deals with
his children. He corrects their errors and
teaches them to obey his commandments;
With the wicked God acts as an offended
king whose laws have been broken by his
subjects. God loves the righteous but hates
the wicked

THE BETTER WAY.-To put phosphate in
the hill of corn is often a positive injury,
when, if applied by drill and let the roots
find it as they extend out in quest of food,
its benefits would have been decided. At
the start, when the roots are short, it would
cause vigorous growth, and when the corn
comes to mature the stimulant is exhausted
and the grain is not perfected, simply be-
cause the roots at the start were not extend
ed, and when the time comes when wide
spreading roots are needed, the phosphate is
gone and restricted roots, by its use in the
hill, cannot furnish the demand for ade-
quate supplies. TO put a compost of .phos-
phate, ashes, loam, etc, in the hill, is far
from an easy task; but if put in the drill and
scattered before planting, the hard, back
achey labor is avoided; the land is all en-
riched and the roots of the corn find their
highest development by filling the ground
with fibrous extensions, and the grain is de-
veloped more perfectly.

SOIL FOR PoTAToEs.-The potato, like all
robust growing vegetables, can be grown
with varying success on soils of all kinds,
and in all conditions of fertility, but the soil
best suited to it is sandy loam. In all
heavy soils it is more subject to disease, and
the flavor is also much inferior. In break
ing up good pasture land, the decaying sod
answers sufficiently we'll for the first year in
lieu of manure. Manure is applied either
in rows or in hills, or broadcast over the
hills and plowed in, the latter in most cases
being preferable. If the soil is good, but
little manure is required. In highly en-
riched soil the plants are more liable to dis
ease than when grown in soil that is natural
ly good. The best fertilizers are those of a
dry or absorbent nature, as plaster, lime, su-
perphosphate of lime, and bone dust. For
wet soils these are partially beneficial, as
they not only promote growth, but prevent
disease. Plant as early in the spring as the
ground can be had in fair working order, in
hills or ridges, about three feet apart, COW
ering in light, warm soils, about four inches
deep; but in cold, wet situations, two and a
half or three inches will be sufficient

1T is common thing to use any kind
of salt for butter, but unless the best be used
the butter will be inferior, and necessarily
sell low. 1t is economy to procure good salt
for such purposes.

The farm aud fiteside.

STIR THE SoIL.-The severer the drought
the greater the necessity, in my opinion, to
keep the soil of our hoed crops frequently
stirred. The atmosphere, even the hottest
days, contains considerable amount of
moisture, and will readily be seen where
there is any cause for its condensation. The
earth, if light and porous from deep prepa!-
ration and frequent culture, will absorb
much moisture from the atmosphere. The
difference in the amount of moisture ab-
sorbed by well-stirred and porous soil as
compared with one not so we'll stirred ana
porous, is much greater than is generally
supposed. The undisturbed soil soon be-
comes smooth and hard, and has a much
smaller surface and less power OF attraction
than one that is broken and disintegrated.
After it is broken the air can easily pene-
trate the soil, and meeting with the colder
particles below, gives out the moisture
which it contains, and this process is con-
stantly repeated where the surface, being
light and open, admits of continual alb
sorption. 1t is for this reason that frequent
hoeing is found to be beneficial, and that
underdrained and SUBSIDIZED land suffers
least from drought. And not only is best
absorbed by well stirred soil, but carb0nlc
acid and ammonia are also attracted ana
absorbed to greater extent. No deeply
ploughed land thoroughly disintegrated is
in danger of becoming dry from exposure to
the sun. This is a common belief, but 1t is
mistake. Keep the sUil stirred and suffer
no grass or weeds to grow, and the increased
crop in the Clubhouse or cOrn-crib at the END
of the year will demonstrate the truth of the
above statement.

Bas~ A western farmer who tried wheat
bran as manure tor wheat, reports that the
effect of an application of one ton of bran to
the acre was equal to that obtained from the
usual application of mixture of bone-dust,
guano, lime and wood ashes, and the differ
ence in the yield of the crops that received
the bran, as compared with those not so
treated, was very great.

nay@ Farmers who manure heavily should
not forget that the growth of weeds will be
as highly stimulated as the legitimate crop,
and that consequently more thorough and
cleaner cultivation is essential to giving the
crop the entire benefit Of the fertilizers.
Few farmers can afford to buy fertilizers to

AGRICULTURE.-Wa Washington wisely said
that "The cultivation of the earth is the
most important work Of man; when tillage
begins the other arts follow. The farm
ers are therefore the founders of human
civilization" Webster in eloquent words
recorded these sentiments: "Agriculture
feeds us to a great extent it clothes us !;
without it we could not have manufactures,
and we could not have commerce. These all
stand together, but they stand like pillars
in cluster, the largest in the centre, and
the largest is Agriculture"

@To the storm-tossed pilgrim on lifes
voyage it is a source of comfort to know that

it will be great calm. The wind will cease
at his bidding and the waves all 60 to sleep
on the bosom of the great deep. The tenn
pest may howl loud and last long, but not
withstanding all this, "there remaineth a
rest for the people of God" In the midst
of all their trials and troubles, sorrows and
aff1ictions. the righteous are sustained and
comforted and finally delivered. Not only
so, but all these trials and Affections and
even prosecutions are overruled and made
to rebound to Gods glory and the good of
his people.

Bar In the production of twenty-five bush
els of wheat to the acre, the soil is robbed of
1913 pounds of mineral matter. In the pro-
duction of 50 bushels Of corn to an acre, the
soil loses $50 pounds of mineral elements.
1t is plain, therefore, that unless the soil is
provided with an equal amount of the ele-
ments given up as food for the plants it will
soon be exhausted.

SEAsoNABLE H1NTs.-As gardens are
generally planted, the same kinds Of Vege-
tables occupy the same ground for many
years in succession. Seeds which admit of
the earliest sowing are sown on the warmest
and driest spot, followed at the second SOW
ing with less hardy varieties and so on until
the whole garden is filed. Thus early peas
have been growing on the same spot year
bers and other vegetables, each in their
respective locations. For convenience sake
and regularity nothing better could be de-
sired, but for the best yield and quantity no
worse plan could be devised.

the blood of Jesus Christ can conceal. One
of the tenderest petitions in the whole Bible
is the seventh verse Of the twenty-ffth

youth" Every pious individual, no matter

passes away the sins Of our youth pile up
before US like mountain ranges which seem
to block the way to the heavenly home.

Finding himself outwitted the govern
or gave him another shilling to dress it. 1t
was not long before the Indian came back
demanding a good shilling in place of the
bad one he claimed the governor had paid
him. The governor paid him another.
Returning another time with still another
brass piece to be changed, the governor,
convinced of his knavery, offered him half
a crownif he would deliver letter for him.
The letter was directed to the keeper of the
prison, and ordered him to give the bearer
a certain number of lashes.
The Indian suspecting that all was not
right, and meetinga servant of the governor,
induced him to take the letter to its address.
The result of the Indians stratagem was
that severe whipping was administered
to the unfortunate servant. The governor
was greatly chagrined at being a second
time outwitted by the Indian. On falling
in with him some time shortly after, he ac-
costed him with some severity, asking him
how he dared to cheat and deceive him so
many times.
''Head work, Governor, head work." was
the reply.

BY~ Sin is always to be feared more than
all things else. God hates it. The folly of
David kept him in trouble all his days, and
the last earthly sound which he heard was
the shout of conspirators. Paul began his
career in life by prosecuting Gods people,
and although he was by grace convicted of
sin, and converted from sin and made an
eminent servant of God, still God saw tit to
cause him to drink of the bitter cup which
he had mixed for others. God ever, as in
the case of the murmuring and rebellious
Israelites, takes vengeance of mems sins.

and from the moral pollution of our sins, we
must believe in Jesus Christ. In the gospel
Jesus Christ is offered to us freely, he is Of
