Forcible Language from the Pulpit.

The pastor of one of the Babylon
Qong Islan0 churches is quoted as de-
ivering the following brief but pointed
discourse at the morning service for the
benefit of the gaudily dressed young
men who had been in the habit of
sauntering into church late and leaving
before the services closed For the
benefit of the young men who come
into this church after service has COM
menced and leave before the collection
plate is passed l wish to say that the
hour of service is II o'clock and the
benediction is pronounced by II. l
would also remark that the style of at
tire adopted by these young men, while
perhaps very becoming, is more suited
for tennis court, ball field or bull fight
than for the house of God"

Chicken Chicks,

Tarred felt is used for covering the
roofs of buildings made of wood. If
tarred and sanded over it lasts a consid-
cradle time.
Hemp and sunfower seeds are excel
lent for imparting glossy appearance
to the plumage.
The pullet is so called for twelve
months, or until the year in which she
was Matched is closed.
Nothing is more fatal to the success OF
a breeder than over crowding. The poi
sonous air, the exhalations from the bod
les and the excavations of great num-
Der of fowls crowded together cannot be
combated by any influence.
The loss of feathers often proceeds
from deficient or unclean busting ar
rangements.
Bone dust is very beneficial for the
feeding of growing chickens up to five
or six months of age.

One of our best dairy authorities says
in The New York Times that another
fad, recently introduced into the dairy,
has persisted of its own inherent weak
ness and inconsistency. This is brine
sailing of butter, troublesome and use
less practice, Which has at last proved to
its advocates that it is a roundabout way
of arriving at On end fully secured by
the common practice of sailing with dry
salt. To salt butter sufficiently with
brine one must incorporate with the but
ter just so much water and no more as
will dissolve half an ounce of salt to the
pound of butter. Bnt the butter, as it
comes from the churn, washed free of
the milk, already contains more water
than will make a saturated solution with
this quantity of salt, and consequently
it is clearly impossible to get salt enough
in the butter by brine sailing without
leaving too much water in it. One ounce
of the finest dry salt well incorporated
with pound of butter will draw the
excess of water from it, leaving half an
ounce of the salt in every pound of it.

Budding Eruit Trees,

The essential conditions for budding
are a free flow of the sap in the stock
and a corresponding one in the tree from
which the buds are taken. Only when
the bark on the stock can be easily sep
arated from the wood can the operation
be successfully performed. Budding is
to be preferred to grating for all the
stone fruits and in case of failure can be
repeated on the same stock, and is best
performed on young stocks of one or two
years growth. The buds are taken from
scions of the present seasons growth,
which should be cut from thrifty young
trees. In budding select a smooth place
ON the stem of the stock to be budded,
within three or four inches of the ground.
Make an upright cut just through the
bark, about an inch and half long, with
a cross cut at its top, and within the slit
thus made insert the bud by raising the
bark sufficiently with the knife The
buds for the purpose are removed from
the stick of scions as they are wanted by
a smooth cut with sharp knife, usually
taking with the bud Il very thin shaving
of the wood. The bud is then inserted
in the slit under the bark, and the stock
is bandaged over the wound with some
kind of coarse Irvine, leaving the bud
itself uncovered by the tie. If the union
of the bud to the stock takes it will be
manifest in a couple of weeks, when the
wrapping can be removed. In the spring
the stock should beNcut off little above
the growing bud.

The Sacrament of Suffering.

We laughed together, dear, you and I,
Many time in the days gone by;
There was many Jest betwixt us twain,
But never a thought of grief or pain;
And the sun shone bright in the sky above
1t was not the sunshine taught us love.
We often fingered little while
With kindly word or passing smile
CAS- folks may do who often meet,
Or hand clasped hand in the crowded street;
But with smiling words we still could part,
1t was not yet, DEAR heart to heart.
Love grew up in the after time,
When lifes sweet joy bells ceased thoir chime.
My soul was rent with anguish sesa
A kindred sorrow kept your door;
Twas then, as we knelt and together wept,
That into each others hearts we crept-
Friends, firm friends, through the passing
years.
Friends through the sacrament of tears.

The Increased Use of Digging Harrows.
There is belief among some farmers
that the increased use of the new diggers
and cutting harrows is to be condemned
because such tools lessen the use of the
plow and lead to shallow tillage. Rural
New Yorker, with a view to deciding
the true use of digging harrows, invited
correspondence ON the subject from lead
ing agriculturists. the replies elected
made apparent the fact that the charac-
ter of the soil, the season and the crop it
self all have something to do with deter
mining the depth to which the soil should
be stirred. Professor Cook favored the
plan of blowing in the fall and harrow
ing in the spring. T. FL. Hoskins, of
Vermont, does not want deep blowing
and has used the cutting harrow with
great satisfaction. H. H. Wing, of
1thica, believes that the deep working
harrows may be used in place of the
plow in preparing stubble ground on
light friable soils for oats and barley. E.
Davenport, of Michigan, regards these
cutting harrows as great advance on
other devices for firning the bottom of
the seed bed and for fitting soil for corn
The journal quoted from says: cit is
quite evident that under certain condi-
tions the digging harrows may be used
to save great deal of work"

How to Manage Candied Comb Honey.
Comb honey that has become old and
candied so that it cannot be removed by
the honey extractor may be managed by
Mrs. L. Harrison's method. This, ac-
cording to the lady's own story, is as
follows: The honey was mashed up in a
pan and set over kettle of boiling
water and stirred frequently. Before
the honey was very hot the wax had
risen to the surface, and being set out in
the cold quickly CONCEALED, so that the
warm honey could be poured from under
it through coffee strainer into another
vessel, leaving the wax in the pan. AT
ter the honey was melted the wax was
all melted up together, and considerable
honey of inferior quality was under it,
which can be kept separate and used for
cooking, making gingerbread, etc. The
rinsings of vessels used in manipu lating
the honey will make excellent vinegar.
The wax can be melted in a pan over
boiling water, and should be poured,
when melted, through a hot coffee
strainer, and when cool will be of a
light straw color.

NEW YORK, February 15.-The stock market
was dull again to-day and weak almost from
opening to closing, and, while sugar was the
great feature of the day, material losses were
sustained in the regular list on a comparatively

The bears were again active and aggressive,
being induced to make an extra demonstration
against the list by rumors of a BAD bank state
ment which we're given color to by the asser-
ton of the Financial Chronicle that the banks
had lost So. 600 during the week. That the
calculation was correct was sho wn by the state
ment showing a loss in the surplus reserve Of
something over $20O90O0
The character of the railroad news was rather
mixed and had little effect one way or the
other upon values. The Trusts were strong in
the early dealings continuing the advance of
the past few days, but later they gave way with
the rest of the market, and Sugar Rehneries,
after an advance of 1s6 per cent to 69T, retired
to 67sk and closed at 67%.
Railroad bonds were quiet, and followed the
share list closely, maintaining heavy to weak
tone throughout, and the final changes are
generally in the direction of lower figures.
Wisconsin Central incomes were again the only
features of the dealings. though several other
issues scored material losses. The sales
