To Be Expected.

long as we are in this world we
must expect sorrow and trials. They
come as the providence of God to
chasten US, or as the result of our own
sins or the sins of our fellow-men. But
that they come, and how they come,
does not concern us so much as the way
we bear them. If accepted as from
God and submitted to in a right spirit,
they will purify our character and fit
us for larger and wider usefulness.
When disposed to murmur and to be
cast down, let these words come to mind:
Beloved, think it not strange concern
ing the fiery trial which is to try you
as though some strange thing happened
unto you, but rejoice inasmuch as we
are partakers of Christ's suirerings,
that when His glory shall be revealed
We may be glad also with exceeding
JOY. &C Christian Inquirer.

CULTIVATION OF WHEAT.
Colonel Curtis System of Rotation and
Method of Manuring.

Method of Manuring.
! have raised thirty-five bushels O
winter wheat to the acre by the follow
ing culture. The previous crops hat
been corn and oats. This is the usua
rotation in this section of the State
Sod ground is plowed for the corn ant
the land is MANFRED with barn-manurt
either plowed under or put on tht
autumn before. The last is the bes
way. If farmer has barn-manure i
is put on the surface and narrowed il
with the wheat, and if he has none
commercial fertilizers are used. NJ
one thinks of getting a good crop O
wheat without some extra fertilizer
In my own case a heavy coat of barn
manure, made during the summer, was
put on and well narrowed in. The
wheat was sown broadcast, and as the
land was a clay-loam it was not rolled
as it was not necessary for securing the
needed compactness of soil. If the
land is mellow and light it is always
best to roll it, as wheat will do bette
in firm and compact soil. The root
take a stronger hold and the plant
will not rise up so readily when prize
by the frost. In the spring, if thu
ground is baked, crusty and hard, i
should be gone over with square
toothed harrow.
In my crop, no extra work was done
After the wheat had been harvested
the land was plowed, MANFRED an(
sown with fiat turnips. The weathel
being very dry, the turnips did no
come up soon enough to make a goot
crop. Enough wheat came up to maxi
it an object to let it grow, and in thi
way a good crop was obtained of volun
teer wheat. The best way to prepar'
the ground for good crop of wheat, i
to make it rich. Barn manure is TIN
best The so-called "phosphates" vii
do, in the absence Of the other; but tn
wheat-grower on old lands must enricl
all the soil if he wants TO get goot
crop. A clover sod, or land in higi
state of cultivation, will usually brinl
good wheat; but even on such land tn
chances will be improved by using sew
eral hundred pounds of commercial
fertilizer per acre. Any old sod LAM
may be fitted for wheat by blowing il
July and several borrowings. This l
a shorter cut than the old method o
summer-fallowing, in which our father
had so much faiths and by which the,
grew good crops Of wheat d. Cur

chafed by them, half-mad with the
course of things, petulantly wondering
why this is and that is is indirectly, if
not directly, impeaching Gods provi-
dence, and never really content with
any thing, is in a mood of mind and
heart that will surely make him miser-
able. More than this is true, since his
temper is out of harmony with the God
who made him. and who. whether he
likes it or not, will rule the world as he
pleases, and will always please to rule
it under the guidance of His own wis
dom. He does not ask us fully to I'M
derstand all that He does or permitsi
but He does ask and command us to ac-
cept His appointment with devout sub
mission, and recognize Him as the all
presiding and infinite Mind.
Il do not see hoU this is best" said a
venerable woman when overwhelmed
with affection; 'but know that it is
best, and that God sees how it is best. !"
That woman was a Christian optimist.
Her faith in God supplied her lack OF
knowledge. 1t is true that God often
''moves in mysterious way" and puts
our faith to a severe test; and yet it is
just as true that He sis his own inter-
prefer" and will in due season make
it plain" Optimism, with God on the
throne is the true theory of life. The
infdel, by the terms of his own condi-
ton, can have no such theory. The
Christian should never be without it

a CHlLD'S THANKFULNESS.

Only little bird am I,
A song is all l bring
To greet the early morning Sky,
And this is why sing:
My nest is in the leafy tree,
The loving father cares for me;
So let me thank Him while / live,
Though have but song TO give!
Only simple flower am l,
Yet. with a smile, so glad,
look up to the shining sky;
Ny life is never sad.
The Father on His earth below
Gave me place to bloom and grow;
Shall not thank Him while live,
Though have but smile to giyeg
Only a meadow brook ami.
And yet murmur low
My thanks to yonder quiet sky,
AS, winding on, flow.
For when the day has gone to rest
Gods stars are cleaning on my breast!
And l shall thank Him while | live,
Though but whisper l can give! r
Only a little child ami
Shall brook and flower and bird
Thank the dear Father in the sky,
And my lips breathe no word?
He gave me home and loved ones dear;
His'gentle hand still guides me here;
Oh, let me thank him while live,
With all my grateful heart can give!

A Big Mistake.

1t is big mistake to think that the
Christian life has no place or time for
merriment and recreation. Yet tens of
thousands live and die in that error,
never stopping to consider that there
are joys apart from selfish joys, that
there is an innocent fun which is more
enjoyable than their exciting follies.
One of the first suggestions of the devil
to a young person who is longing for
the higher life is: Think what you will
have to give up! Sad, indeed, is it to
see how many are thus deceived by the
arch deceiver; how many are tricked
into giving up lasting happiness and
Heaven, rather than to give up the idle
and exhausting pleasures of a day.
But every one who turns his back on
Satan and renounces sin, finds entrance
into an incomparably happier course
of life; since the inward peace and joy
of the believer fit him the better to en-
Joy the good things God may strew
along his pathway.

"A poor tool on the farm imposes a
tax upon the user every day it is en-

An eminent botanist says that the
best time to prune vines is while the
grapes are ripeniRg, and that the
young shoots should be selected for
this purpose, as they require for then
development a large quantity Of sugar,
to the detriment of the ripening fruit.
1t is a fact, confirmed by expert
ence the world over, that clover used
in a rotation where other crops are
well MANFRED will return to the surface

Chief Justice Chase said that at a

erence to the question of its truth, Just
as he would u question of law, and the
result was a firm conviction that it is

power.-M. 7. Independent
True devotion to the church leads
men not to turn their backs upon it
when it is feeble, To go from it when
strong to help the feeble, would have
the aspect Of disinterestedness to go
from it when feeble to affiliate with the
strong, suggests the predominancy of
worldly motives. Christian AdcOcatc.
Unless a teacher is himself pos
sessed of the truth ne would teach to
another, he is not a teacher. 1t is pos
sible for a man to have a truth firmly
in his own mind without being able to
impart it to another; but it is not pos
sible for one to give to another that
which rs not in his own possession. He
may know a thing without teaching it;
but he can not teach n thing that he
does not knows. S. Times.
Are you a Christian?" 81 am a
member of the church," Yes, but that
is not the question. Alas for it, there
are church members who show by their
lives that they have yet to learn the A,

mighty stumbling block, set between
seeking souls and salvation, is every
one who has Christianity as profession
but not as a possession. Profession
without possession is one of the deadly

While in matters of religion, we
