Grain may be fed literally to cows
when they are in full flow of milk, but if
the cows are drying off prev ious TO ealving
it is better to withhold q grain if the
animals are in good condition, in order to
avoid milk fever at ealving time. Plenty
of grass is sufficient for dry cows, grain be-

When moisture is plentiful and the
rains come at the proper times it must not
be overlooked that the weeds are benefited
by t he favorable conditions as well as the

destroying weeds, but much of the labor
may be saved by using the cultivator after
each rain so as to destroy the weeds as
soon as they appear above the ground.

While this part of the country and all
that portion lying east to the Atlantic is
kept saturated by rainy spells that have
been continuous for nearly year, and the
farmers are unable to get their spring
planting done, large part of the great
Northwest is suffering for rain. Drought
prevails in Minnesota and North Dakota,
and also in Kansas and Nebraska. So
severe is the drought that the outlook for
crops in those States is gloomy. The
situation is indicated by the fact that
Archbishop Ireland has issued letter to
every bishop and priest in his jurisdiction,
which covers the Northwest, instructing
them to add after mass a special prayer
for rain and for the general welfare of the
crops.

A New Theory Of Creeds.

The Rev. Mr.. MACQUEARY has formally re-
fused a request from the Bishop OF Ohio that
he should leave the Episcopal ministry. He
is the clergyman who rejects the doctrines
OF the resurrection Of tho body and the birth
OF JESUS from virgin, and hence would
seem to be out OF place in a Church which
has both in the creed recited at its services
MrMAcQUEARY thinks differently, and has
all along declared his intention to remain in
holy orders until he is driven out by an &C.
clesiastical sentence. He contends that the
Episcopal Church as a Protestant Church,
and under its articles OF religion, must
allow liberty OF Scriptural Interpretation
to its clergy; and no maintains, further
that II he can defend his position by Biblical
texts he has the right 10 hold it. The sixth
OF those articles takes the distinctively
Protestant ground that the Bible contains
all things necessary to salvation. and that
no man Is TO be required to believe "whatso-
ever is not read therein. nor may be proved
thereby"
Mr.. MACQCEARY denies that the resurrec-
ton OF the body and tho virgin birth OF
JESUS can be proved from Scripture and
therefore yects the authority OF the Church
70 require belief In them. He interprets
virgin" to mean merely young woman. and
quotes st. PAUL 10 prove that the resurrec-
ton Is OF the soul and not the body. He also
casts aside those commonly received doc
trines on the ground that they are contrary
10 reason and science and therefore cannot
be imposcd as beliefs without outraging the
human intellect.
That is avery radical position to take. and
yet is it essentially different from that oc-
cupied by the theologians generally who
demand the eIc!sion or reconstruction Of
fundamental articles of faith because they
are not IN accordance with modern reason and
sentiment? Prof BRIGGS q the Presbyterian
Theological Seminary and the professors
of the Congregational school OF divinity at
Andover demand that modern creeds shall
DO constructed according 10 modern methods
OF Biblical Interpretation and the reason and
sentiment OF this day. instead Of the DINNER

rover views Of two or three centuries ago.

criticism Is directed are not the same as
those selected by the Episcopal Clergyman.

The -Four Prohibition States.

The people OF two New England States.
namely, Maine and Vermont, live under pro-
hibitory liquor laws. According to the the
ory upon which the system OF prohibition Is
founded, these communities should be in an
exceptionally fourishing condition. The
census returns should indicate the benefits
of State interposition to check the conse-
quences OF bad personal habits, and to steer
the citizen straight in the pathway Of sobri-
ETY.. industry, and thrift.
What is the case In Maine, where pro-
hibition has been on trial for nearly half
century, the growth Of population during
the past ten years has been about 5000, or
one and four-tenths per cent.
In Vermont there has been no increase Of
population. On the contrary, during the
ten years since 1880, which have witnessed
such amazing progress In other common
wealths, there has been an actual decrease
OF about 800 in the number OF Vermont's In
habitants.
New Hampshire, sandwiched between
Maine and Vermont, and affected by almost
precisely similar conditions except such as
proceed from mistaken experiments in
sumptuary legislation, has grown just ten
per cent. while Maine was growing one and
iour-tenths per cent and Vermont was los
ing ground.
Turning to the West, where marvellous
growth is the rule on every side, we find the
two prohibition States o; Kansas and Iowa.
Here the experiment Is recent, but the sys-
tenn has been long enough on trial to pro-
duce results.
In Kansas the increase in population dur
ing the ten years is from 996 o96 to about
1,6s0o00. Vast as that increase seems to be,
it Is much smaller than was to be expected.
Against Kansas increase Of sixty-eight per
cent, her neighbor at the north, Nebraska,
has increased one hundred and twenty-five
per cent. and Colorado, her neiGhbor at the
west, has increased one hundred and ten
per cent. In the ten years between 1870 and
1880 the gain OF Kansas was one hundred and
seventy-three per cent
In Iowa the loss Of headway Is still moro
striking. The gain Of the ten years by that
fertile and progressive State Is only 296, 900
on 1,6246l5, or eighteen per cent. But In
Nebraska, as We have seen, whose eastern
boundary touches that Of Iowa, the in
crease has been one hundred and twenty
two per cent. and in the still older Mime
sofa, just to tho north, the increase has
been eighty-one per cent
These figures are interesting, and they de-
serve the attention OF everybody
