Talmage on Church Choirs.

My chief objection to church choir
singing is that | am a firm believer
in congregation doing the singing.
To me a singing church is always a
triumphant church. If a congrega
ton is silent during the exercise, OF
partially silent, it is the silence oil
death. If when the hymn is given
out you hear the faint hum of here
and there a father and mother in IS
rael, while the vast majority are 81
lent, that minister Of Christ who is
presiding needs to have a very
strong constitution if he does not get
the chills. He needs not only the
grace of God, but nerves like whale
bones 1t is a constant source of
amazement to me how some people
with voice enough to discharge all
their dutiesain the world, when they
come into the house Of God have no
voice to discharge their duty of
singing really believe that if all
our churches would rise up and sing
as they ought TO sing, that where we
have hundred souls brought into
the kingdom of Christ there would
be a thousand.-T. De Witt Tai

His Way of Putting It.

II paid bill the other day." said
a large manufacturer to me, without
a murmur, simply because of the way
it was worded. My engineer found
his hot water pump would not work,
and, after puttering at it for an
hour, sent for a machinist- He
bothered with it half day and con-
cluded it must come apart. [ was
much annoyed, for that meant a
stoppage of my factory for long
time. Before l gave the order to
take it to pieces some one suggested
that neighboring engineer be sent
for, as he was sort of genius in the
matter of machinery. He came,
and after studying the pump awhile,
he took hammer and gave three
sharp raps over the valve Il reck-
on she'll go now," he quietly said,
and, putting on steam, she did go.
The next day I received bill from
him for $3.50. The price amazed
me. but when [ had examined the
items I drew check at once. The
bill read this way: 'Messrs. Blank &
Co., DR.. to John Smith. For fixing
pump. 50 cents. For knowing how,
$25.' Had he charged me $3.50
for fixing the pump l should have
considered it exhorbitant. But 50
cents was reasonable, and I recog-
nize the value of knowledge, SO |
paid and said nothing-Br00kLy1,

hams are taken from the salt and
are wiped dry, and the cold pickle
is poured over them and well rub
bed into the meat. There should be
enough brine to cover the meat. The
hams are turned every second day
for three weeks, after which they
are taken out, wiped dry, and a
mixture of pepper, salt and bran is
thoroughly well rubbed into the
meat. They are then smoked q
little every day for three months, or
even more, until completely dry,

All hens have bright red combs

The best method is to breed for

UmbilfcaI Hernia.

A. NJ, Longmont, ol.-My filly
foaled last July had q small bunch
at the navel and it is now getting
larger every day. On examination
/ find there is rupture nearly one
inch in length through which the
contents of the bunch can be put..up.
/ find Prof. Law says: ssReturn the
mass, draw up the skin, and apply
clamp to be left on till it drops
off," Is this the best treatment,
and is there any special way of pre-
pairing and putting on clamp?
Whether tight as applied to cord
in castration, or only tight enough
to insure against slipping off? /
should say the bunch is now larger
than a mans fist. When first no.
ticed it was about the size of a wal
nut. If there is a better way to treat
than by the clamp please prescribe.
REPLY.-The method oftreatment
by the clamp is one of the most
common and perhaps the most sue
cessful in such cases. Pinch up the
skin and apply the clamp SO tightly
as to cause the circulation to be ar
rested. This will cause death of
the included portion of skin, which
will slough with the clamp some
time aftsrward. Breeders Gazette.

How to Select the Layers.

One of our readers makes the su9-
gestion that it would be valuable to
possess such information by which
one could select the hens that will
lay from those that may not be so
productive, thus saving the expense
of keeping large number of drones
in the flock. The suggestion is an
excellent one, although we have be-
fore given information in that direc-
ton. But to attempt to select the
prospective layers is as difficult as
that of anticipating the amount of
milk heifer will produce before
she comes in with her first calf. AS
with cattle, the matter is one of OBJ
servation, and we doubt if there is
any class of stock on the farm
either animals or birds-that will
give indications of their prolifcacy
before they begin production. Hens
differ individually and they differ as
breeds. knowledge of their indi-
vidual characteristics can only be
gained by constant association with
them and careful observation of the :
traits.
The laying hen is one that is ac-
tive and busy. A good scratching
hen-one that is never idle-is, as
rule, a good layer, for the reason
that her active habits keep her in
the proper condition for laying.
Hence we may advise that, in Sc
lecting, let the busy, active hen be
retained. A bright red comb. bright
wattles and happy disposition are
indications, while bright eyes and

take eight pounds of salt, five pounds
of sugar, four ounces of saltpetre
and one ounce of red pepper, and
make pickle strong enough to float
an egg, and pour it on the pork
when cold. The hams should be at
the bottom, shoulders next, and the
sides on top. This will pickle it

it should be lifted, and every part
whore the bones protrude upon the
fieshy side lightly covered with red

reach every part Of each piece.
2. Salt down the pork for about
two weeks, take up and resalt, with
one teaspoon of saltpetre to each
ham and three pounds of brown su-
gar to each hundred pounds; pack
down for two weeks more; take up
and wash hams in warm water and
put them in clean sacks of coarse,
white cloth, which have been steep
ed in solution of lime; hang and
smoke for about three weeks, and
they can then be left hanging the
entire season. No insects will mo-
lest them if thus prepared.
3. After the hams are perfectly
cool, the animal heat being entirely
out of them, put them down in salt
for few days, after which lift and
drain off all the bloody water. Make
the following pickle sufficient to
cover them: Nine pounds OF salt,
three ounces of saltpetre, one ounce
of saleratus, four pounds Of brown
sugar, and six gallons of water. At
ter lying in the pickle for month,
hang and smoke as In No. 1.
The famous Westphalia hams are
cured as follows: They are first
rubbed with dry salt and left to
drain for twenty -four hours. Four
quarts of salt, three pounds of brown
sugar, one pound of saltpeter, four
ounces of salprunella, and four ounces
OF juniper berries are bruised and
well mixed together and boiled in
six quarts of water. The brine is
then cooled and skinned. The

Excited Horses.

Excited Horses.
The best and only thing to do
when your horse is excited is to
calm him. In high state of ex-
element the horse does not COM
prehend what is wanted of him.
Every one has seen team where
one horse would 60 forward and the
other backward, often in other words
"saw." All the whipping and "hol-
lering" that q dozen men can do will
not start such a team. once in hun
dred times. The team is excited
and it shows & every action.
Lashing and lQ III only makes
matters worsd IkY to calm the
horse by gentlg "a md actions.
Time will be saved 3 half-hour is
taken to soothe the reIfactory horse.
An excited horse is just like an ex-
cited child. W. have seen child
scolded and jawed at, until it could
not comprehend what was wanted
of it to save its life. Stop scolding
and calm the child, and the work
you desire of it will soon be done.
It is idle to expect an animal to do
your bidding SO long as it cannot
understand what you want done.
Two.thirds of the horses that are
termed balky are made so by their
drivers. A man must understand
the disposition of his horse and be
governed accordingly. Another pro-
life source of excitement to a ner-
vous horse is the overcheck, in all
its varied forms. Some have small
extra bit on the overcheck, and that
and the bride bit is forced into the
horses mouth at the came time.
This quite often frets the animal and
when he starts off, is sometimes in
clined to act bad, and the whip is
used on him to make him act better,
which too often makes matters q
great deal worse. Then the horse
becomes excited and often balks and
often gains the reputation of being a
chronic slayer" I do not believe
that any horse is naturally balky,
but is in every case made SO by ex-
citable owners or drivers. Excite
ment in the horse takes various
forms; some are sullen and morose,
while others are nervous and jerky.
1t is seldom that cool, quiet man,
one that can govern his temper,
ever has fractious or nervous horse
to contend with, Horses have in

A LiIliputian Railroad.

A wonderful railroad is the one which
connects the towns of Bedford and
Bellevue, Mass, says the Albany dr.
gus. 1t is nine miles in length, and is
probably as unique as any on the globe.
The distance is not so astonishing, eX-
cept when the gauge of ten inches is
considered.
In the short distance traversed by
the pigmy it crosses eleven streams,
with bridges from five to thirty feet in
height. The rails weigh but twenty
pounds to the yard, about the size OF
those used in the mines of Missouri
and Illinois. The cars and engines are
constructed so as to be very near the
ground, insuring greater safety. The
cars are provided with single seats on
each side of the aisle.
The car itself weighs but four tons,
the weight of an ordinary car being
twenty to twenty-siX tons. The en-
CINE, without the tender, weighs seven
tons, and runs with two passenger or
freight cars at the rate of twenty miles
an hour. There is a smaller railroad
than this in the United States-the one
in Bucks County Pennsylvania-but it
is only kept us an expensive toy by d
rich farmer who has made Il fortune
out of oil.
