Champs Mysses, Paris, just before the
battle OF Sedan in 1870. ! never saw
such enthusiasm before or since. AS
he sang that national air, oh! how: the
Frenchmen shoutedl Have you ever
in an English assemblage heard a
band play "God save the QueenY" II
you have. you know something about
the enthusiasm of q national air,
Now / tell you that these songs which
we sing Sabbath by Sabbath are the
national airs of Jesus Christ and of
the Kingdom of heaven, and If you do
not learn to sing them here, how do
you ever expect to sing the song of
Moses and the lamb? / Ishould not be
surprised at all if some OF the best an
thems of heaven were made up of
some OF the best songs of earth. May
God increase our reverence for Chris
tian .psalmody, and keep US from dis
gracing 1T by our indifference and
frivolity. When Cromwell's army
went into battle he stood at the head
OF them one day, and gave out the
long meter doxology to the tune of
the cold Hundredth," and that great
host, company by company, regiment
by regiment, battalion by battalion
joined in the doxology:
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, We heavenly host
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
And while they sang they marched,
and while they marched they fought,
and while they fought they got the
victory: o, men and women Of Jesus
Christ, lot us so into all our conflicts
singing the praises of God, and then,
instead OF falling back, as we often do,
from defeat to defeat, we shall be
marching on from victory to victory.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in
the beginning, is now and ever shall
be, world Without end. Amen.

Fruit Growing.

Experience in California and other
of the newer settlements in other
parts of the Union of late years
established fruit-growing as a most
profitable industry, 50 that there is
now no danger that it will be neglected
in the future. There is nothing the
settler at the South or West can
better do so soon as his newly pur.
chased piece of land is cleared and pre-
pared, than to plant literally of ap.
pies, pears, cherries, ounces, grapes
and small fruits.

Adulteratad Butter.

According to Mr.. Otto Hehner,
President of the Society Of Public
Analysis, foreign butter is still adul-
terated with margarine to a very con-
siderable extent. Out OF 4e samples
Of so.called butter sent to him to be
analysed, during twelve months, SO
were found to have been adulterated
with margarine to an extent varying
from 6 to IS per cent. This must not
be taken to represent theaverage con-
dition of imported. butter, as the
samples were sent because they were
regarded a. suspicious; but the fact
that 81 large . number Of adulterAtions

Bone SPAWN.

Bone SPAWN is an incurable disease.
1t may become somewhat mitigated
ii the best treatment is given at the
onset, but the bony growth, which is
the result OF disease, cannot be re-
moved, nor can the stiffness resulting
from this growth be wholly overcome.
If it is we'll treated at the first, the
horse may be saved from the worst
and may be made useful for many
years, although the blemish will al
ways remain. The treatment should
be as follows: The affected JOINT is to
be fomented with hot water and then
blistered. The horse should rest while
under treatment, but moderate exer-
else in q pasture or yard will be bene-
fetal. All the inflammation should
be removed before the blister is ap-
piled. The system must be kept cool
by proper medicines, as EPSON salts
IN one-pound doses, given at intervals
as may be found necessary.

An Imaginary Horse.

The general purpose horse is sought
for by many, yet obtained by none,
says an exchange. Strictly speaking
a general purpose horse is one that
can do everything that horse is call.
ed on to do. 1t is impossible in the
nature of things for horse to be so
constructed that he can do every
thing. A horse to be a general pur-
pose horse could combine all the
qualities of a runner, trotter, q
PAGER, a roadster, a coacher, asaddler,
hunter and draft horse, also q
lady's driving horse and children's
pony. The greatest value in horse
comes from his possessing some par
ticular quality, or combination of
qualities in the same line, and the
ability to do one thing and do it we'll.
The better adapted a horse is to do
one thing, the more valuablehe is.

The "Belted" Dutch Cattle.

These curiously marked cattle are
somewhat similar i'll general charac-
teristics to the more wide known Hol-
stein Frisians, but are not so large,
averaging in weight about one thous-
and pounds. Their distinguished
mark is broad belt or blanket" of
white around the body, while the front
and hind quarters are solid black. A
herd of these animals present singu-
lar appearance, looking as though the
owner had carefully fastened white
cloth around each one.
But this is not the sole characteris-
tic of the breed, for they are asserted
to be extraordinary mixers, yielding,
under favorable conditions, an aver
age of 10000 pounds OF milk a year.
This capacity for milk production
places the Belted cattle in the front
rank as dairy breed, and there can
be no doubt that, as they become
more generally known, they will grow
rapidly in popular esteem. At pres
ent they are chiefly confined in this
country to small herds in the eastern
and middle States, but vigorous ef-
fort is being made to introduce them
to more general notice, and at the
same time to maintain the standard
in color, shape, size and milking cap
pacity. 1t is asserted by those who
have had the opportunity OF Judging,
that the Belted cows are peculiarly
we'll suited, by their small size, gentle
ness of disposition and great milk
yield, as we'll as by their striking ap-
pearance, to meet the requirements
alike OF the dairy and the family.
The Wahpeton times., 1891-10-01
Feed for Poultry.

Where cows are kept OF course soul
milk can be provided for the growing
chicks; they are fond of it, and they
improve on it wonderfully. For solid
food, even now, give them wheat and
scalded oats. Potatoes are plentiful;
boil the small ones and work them up
with the ground feed, which should be
given in the morning; wheat and oats
ana little corn at night. This sys-
tenn of feeding is good for the old as
well as the young. Your good judg.
ment will tell you what else to feed by
way of variety.
The Wahpeton times., 1891-10-01
Raising Cream.

In a series of tests made at the
Cornell station to determine the re-
lative value of different methods in
raising cream, the following results
were obtained.
In eleven trials of milk set in the
Cooley creamer with ice water, at A
deg, the average per cent OF fat in the
skim milk was "a.
In eleven trials Of milk diluted with
an equal weight OF cold water and set
in open air, the average per cent Of
fat in the skim milk was 1.2S.
In six trials where milk was diluted
with 20 and so per cent OF cold water,
the average per cent of fat in the skim
milk was Ill.
In two trials was set in deep cans
without dilution, in running water, at
60 degrees, the average per cent of fat
in the skim milk was SO.
In two trials OF milk set in shallow
pans, at 81 degrees, the average per
cent of fat in tine skim milk was
.48.
In trial where milk was set in
shallow pans and one third of it's
weight of water at 12O degrees added,
the per cent of fat in the skim milk
was rs.
These tests were made by H. H. Wing
and c. D.Smith.

judges without analysis. Moreover,
he has reason to believe that shippers
regularly employ chemists to advise
them as to the kind and percentage of
adulteration which may with some de-
gree of safety be practiced, and for
this reason he apprehends that mix
ing will become more and more COM

more frequently resorted to as pre-

How the Prairie Looks.

Have you ever seen a western
prairie? If not, you might enjoy
being there for month in summer.
As on the ocean, SO on the prairie,
there is usually q breeze to partly.

Most prairies are slightly rolling Or
hilly, having somewhat the appear

occasionally, crowning one Of these
low swells, there is a grove of young
trees. Sometimes, however, not
even a shrub is visible for many miles.

that loud singing! Stop! Ohno, they
cannot hear me. You might as well
try to drown the thunder of the sky,
or beat back the roar of the sea, for
every soul in heaven has resolved to
do it's own singing. Alasl that we
should have on earth that which
THEY CANNOT DO IN HEAVEN.
Now, in this church, we haye re-
solved upon the plan of conducting
the music by organ and ,cornet. We
do it for two reasons; one is that by
throwing the whole responsibility up
onithe mass Of the people, making the
great multitude the choir, we might
rouse more heartiness. Then we do
not want any choir quarrels. You
know very well that in scores of
churches, there has been perpetual
contention in that direction. The
only church fight that ever occurred
under my ministry was over q melo-
deon, in my first settlement. Have
you never been in church on the Sab
bath day, and heard the choir sing,
and you said s"That is splendid mu-
sic." The next Sabbath, you were in
that church, and there was no choir
