One Of tie greatest neglects in
American agriculture, Is that Of no;
properly cultiyat,ng pasture lands.
In England fasmers pay almost as
much atten&iC- % these as they do
tC their meadows; and there is very
little difference between them in the
annual yield Of grass. There are
lands so stony Or rough OF surface
that they cannot be prepared fol-
improved pasturage except at too
great expense. These must be LEFT
to their natural state and to YIELD
such grass as they can without cul-
tiyation, But when the soil is mod.
erately good and not too billy OF
rocky, it should be put in fine con
ditlop, and the grass thus made to
come forth early in the spring, 60
durc through the summer heat and
last till late autumn-in fact The
same as in the meadoWs-so that
large instead of scant profits may
be annually obtained Greater at

That Poet of the Future.

I've been reading, Mr.. Riley. in a recent maya
zine,
OF your Poet of the Future with the truly rural
mien,
OF the careless, simple fashion in which he'll
choose to come
With the beauty of his bugles overbalancing the
drum:
And by what his hands hold not, and by what he
does not wear,
Irather think I'd know him, If I met him any
But really, Mr.. Riley, I do not clearly see
How you can at such a distance say that the
poets "he."
For it may be that this singer who shall our souls
And come to us with bugles-will wear them on
her dress;
That we shall find her shining with pearls upon
her breast,
Or radia mt in some cottage as she lulls her babes
to rest
In the choir of the cathedral we may hear her
pure voice swell,
Or murmuring some sweet measure as she serves
us from the well;
For her hands may not be
her gloves be tan:
And your poet, Mr.. Riley, may not be at all a
man!
Oh, the Poet Of the Future shall find welcome
and have ROOM,
Whether singing at the plowshare or sweeping
But this honest arm of Labor that you speak
Always to a .him" pertaining, may it not to
'her' belOngl
For some women's palms are sisters to the
''hOneSt tOiler's." too
And they cannot always fold them when the
plOwman's toll is through
And ii may be that this Poet, on whose coming
We agree,
When really come and with us win be spoken of
as "she."

A Social Reform from the Kitchen.
Edward Atkinson, in the Forum.

1t is a well-ascertained fact that, with
respect to about 80 per cent. of the COM
munity. the price paid for food comes to
One-half the income, or more. After this
food is bought. how much of it is wasted in
bad .cookingi How much human force is
wasted in consequence of bad cookingi
How much does dyspepsia or indiges-
ton, caused by bad cooking, i'm
pair the working capacity of the
people of the United States and diminish
their PRODUCT Can five cents worth per
day be savedi Is not that a very insufficient
measure of the difference between a poor.
wasteful cool and q good, economical one!
If five cents a day can be saved on food and
fuel, while at the same time that which is
bought and cooked may be converted into
more nutritious and appetizing food, the
difference in each community of 5000 people
would be Sl09,5O0 a year, or about 9 per
cent. of the total product of the typical
community, which we have assumed to be
s l,2O0,0OO a year in gross. When the Atten-
tion of the labor reformer is brought down
from grand schemes for altering the whole
constitution of society. by act of Congress
or of the State Legislature, to the simple
question of how each person, each family,
or each community may better itself under
existing conditions, great progress will have
been made in solving all the problems
which are now pending.

WASHINGTON AT HIS INAUGURATION.

How He Was Dressed and How He Conduct

April Century.
Washington was dressed in a full suit of
dark brown cloth manufactured in Hart

them, and with a steel-hilted dress sword,
white silk stockings, and plain silver shoe
buckles. His hair was dressed and pow
dered in the fashion of the day, and worn
in a bag and solitaire" Chancellor Robert
X. Livingston, one of the committee of five
to draft the Declaration of Independence,
thirteen years before, was dressed in a full
suit of black cloth and wore the robe of
Office. Just before the oath was to be
administered 1T was discovered that no
Bible was in Federal Hall. Luckily. Llv-
ingston. a grand master of Freemasons,
knew that there was one at st. Johns
Lodge, in the city assembly rooms. near by,
and a messenger was dispatched to borrow
the Bible. which is to-day the property of
st. Johns Lodge, No. 1, the third oldest Ma
sonic lodgein the United States.
Secretary Otis, of the Senate, held be-
fore him a red velvet cushion, upon which
rested the open Bible of st. Johns Lodge.

his head and kissed the sacred book, and,
with the deepest. feeling, uttered the
words. so help me GOdp The
Chancellor then proclaimed, Long
live George Washington, President of the
United Statesp The instant discharge of
thirteen cannon followed, and with loud
repeated shouts and huZZas the people
cried. God bless our Washington; long live
our beloved President The President
bowed to the people and the air again rang
with acclamations. Washington, followed
by the company at the balcony, now re-
turned to the Senate chamber, where he
took his seat ana the Senators and Repre-
sentatives their seats. When Washington
arose to speak all stood and listened with
eager and marked attention.
after delivering his address. the Presi-
dent, accompanied by the Vice-president,
the Speaker the two houses of Congress,
and all who attended the Inauguration
ceremony. proceeded on foot to st. PauPs
Church. The same order was preserved as
in the procession from the Presidents house
to Federal Hall. The military made a good
figure as they lined the street near the
church. The services in the church were
conducted by the Chaplain of the Senate.

On Sunday evening. after the triumphal
entry, Jesus returned to Bethany, and the
next morning went up again to the temple.
On the way occurred the cursing of the fig
tree, and upon arrival at the temple the
traders are driven ont. At eventide Jesus
and his disciples again sought the hospi-
fality OF bethany, and the next morning
occurred the dispute with the chief priests
which called ont the parable of the present
lesson. The parallel accounts are Matt.
xxi, 1916; Luke Xxx, 9-l9.
WHAT THE LESSON ACE
New York Independent.
The application Of this parable to the
Jews is obvious. They did cast out the
Son. and we see the full extent of their
Punishment from the land their God gave
them. The thought comes home to our own
Protestant, the gentle churches, which
lave been put into the vineyard as laborers
for God What are the fruits they have
rendered. Let us take a ample. of them.
Look at the fruits of the church IN your
neighborhood- Are grog-shOps closed. is
every den of immortality cleansedf Are poll
tics puref To dothese things is the duty of
churches. The edifcation of the pew
renter is not the whole of it. What a
small fraction of India or China is con-
verified to Christ. With all its pride in re-
suits and statisticsthe church, as a church,
deserves reproach and shame for its laxity
and sloth. 1t is now waking up. Let it be
as alert for the world as is the father for
the sustenance of his child. The p~arabolic
teaching also becomes a national warning.
There is no doubt of it. The nation that
cleaves the closest to the will of God en-
dures the longest. This Republic will
never be a failure as long as it's head begins
each day with family prayer. and as long
as he and all responsible lawmakers and
law-enforcers do their duty in the same
spirit-'.in Christ's Name" But the per-
sonal application none can escape. You are
the householder. Will you stone the Mas
ter's servants and finally kill the heirf Let
us not put such thoughts in your minds.
Your manhood, you honesty will be tested
by your life. Be too proud to act other
wise than honorably to your God.
The vineyard was complete. 1t only
needed care. The possibilities of each ma
ture are sufficient. 1t needs only the spirit
of consciousness and of work to make
pravity; beginning with cOvetOusness 1t ends
in murder. The first feeling of lawlessness
must be stamped ruthlessly under, or rather
prayed away. before security can com to
that heart. The momentum of sin is a fact
as horrible as it is real. The final stage of
sin is madness. This warning is from the
Lord.
