Dsgeneracy or Poultry.

The Introduction Of new breeds of
fowls is only a temporary benefit, unless
care is taken to breed them with purity
or to cross only with design for speci-
fed purpose, and then killing all these
crosses as soon as their purpose is ac-
complished. A great majority Of COM
plants that hens do not pay come from
those who years ago used crosses, and
have continued to breed from them
Their progeny are poor layers, subject
to disease and are generally worthless
Returning to pure blooded fowls is the
only resource of those whose flocks have
got in this condition.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Taking Care of the Stoves.

AS soon as the season for fires has
passed, if stoves are removed they should
be stored in dry place, the pipes and
elbows should be we'll cleaned out and
cared for, otherwise holes may be rusted
through them in a single season. All
the sheet iron work about the stoves of
any and every description should be
cleaned up, and cithsr be kept black
ened and polished, or be oiled to prevent
rust.
For the cheap circular heating stoves
one rubbing with kerosene oil will be
sufficient if stored in dry place, but if
put in cellar, as they sometimes are,
several oilings may be necessary through
this season. The brick Innings that have
become cracked or broken can often be
repaired with fire clay cement with but
little trouble, and so as to make them
seryiceable for very considerable time
Much subsequent annoyance may be
saved by keeping all the separatiye parts
together when storing them away, so
that none shall be mislaid or lost at the
time they are wanted.
Household Hints.
IF tablespoonful of kerosene is put
into four quarts of tepid water, and this
is used in washing windows and mir
rors, instead of pure water, there will
remain upon the cleaned surface polish
no amount Of mere friction can give.

great Joshua will command, and above
your soul the sun of prosperity will stand
still. Bleak and wave struck Patmos
shall have apocalyptic vision, and you
shall hear the cry of the elders, and the
sweep of wings, and trumpets of saliva

God forever.
Your way may wind along dangerous
bride paths, and amid VOLTS howl and
the scream of the yulture. but the way
still winds upward till angels guard it
and trees of life overarch it, and thrones

temples that are always open, and hills
that quake with perpetual song, and a
city mingling forever Sabbath and jubi-
lee and triumph and coronation.
Let pleasure chant her siren song
TITS not the song for me-
TO weeping it will turn eer long,
For this is Heaven decree.
But there's song the ransomed sing
To Jesus, their exalted king,
With joyful heart and tongue.
Oh, that's the song for me!
Courage, my brother! The father does
not give to his son at school enough
money TO last him several years, but, as
the bills for tuition and board and cloth
ing and books come in, pays them. So
God will not give You grace all at once
for the future, but will meet all your eX-
igencles as they come. Through earnest
prayer, trust Him. Putoeverything in
Gods hand and leave it there. Large
interest money to pay will soon eat up a
farm, store, an estate, aud the interest
on borrowed troubles will swamp any
body. Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof"
