impossible for many clergymen to reach
their churches yesterday and religious
services were therefore not held. At
Tyrone funeral procession became lost
in the snow and after futile attempts on
the part of those taking part in it to
find out where they were, the horses
became exhausted, and it was found
necessary to abandon the hearse in a
snow drift.

Our cross is doing something that we
are not compelled to do, and that our
calnal nature shrinks from doing be-
cause Christ commands it, and by it we
can manifest our love for him. 1t is ac
tive obedience, and not passive endur
ance. Sickness is not a cross III this
sense. 1t is often the penalty that we
suffer for violating physical laws. We
don't take up sickness; and so it is with
nearly all of what we call the trials of
life. But when sinner is told that he
must not only believe i'll Christ, but must
confess him before the world, the pur-
pose is upon his conscience and his heart.
There is the duty. He sees it. He ac-
knowledges it. Yet he hestitates. He
cannot make that public confession with
out great self denial, without crucifyins
his affections and lusts. But that is his
cross, and until he stoops and takes il
up he cannot follow his crucitied Lord.
A brother in the church shakes his
head when his pastor asks him to lead in
prayer. He knows that he ought to dc
it, but pleads that he is not fluent and
gifted, that he cannot pray to edification
that he has stammering tongue. But
these are the suggestions of pride. He
has no business to yield to them. If he
would just bend down and take up that
cross he would be hundredfold strong
er and happier. The cross meets an
other disciple when he is asked to teacl
in the Sabbath school. 1t meets another
when he knows that he ought to tall
with some friend or neighbor about tn,
peril of his soul. 1t meets another wheI
the duty of maintaining family worship
is urged upon him. 1t meets anothel
when he is asked to give to the cause o
Christ the money that he wants to spent
for personal luxury or comfort.-Chris

Cutting and Curing Clover.

Be sure and cut the clover early, be-
fore the seed has formed. Glover is a
biennial. one of those plants that begin
to die when once it has produced seed.
Here is the point: By cutting before the
seed forms you can cut two crops in one
season and still keep the root alive. AT
least it will not die because its purpose
has been fulfilled This year we shall
need all the hay we can get. Skillfui
management Of our clover meadows will
give us large additional yield of hay
and have the roots right for the next
season. That wise farmer. the late
Hiram Smith, once showed US field OF
medium clover nine years old from
which he had taken that year fully three
tons per acre in three cuttings. But
there is another great advantage In early
cutting. The hay for milk and butter
purposes is worth double that of the
ordinary grade. says as good authority
as Eoard's Dairyman.
The thick stems Of q rank growth OF
clover make it hard TO cure by the
ordinary means of exposure to the sun
Long before these stems are dried
through the tender thin leaves will bt
shriveied up and broken off. Thi:
necessitates curing clover by heating
and with as little stirring as possible
and that only when freshly cut. Ameri

can Cultivator says that the best way Is
to follow the mower with the hay tedder
with only the least interruption. Then
us soon us the leaves have dried rake the
clover and put it i'll cock. 1t may seem
dry because the leaves will rustic, but
leave it twenty-four hours or, if need be,
thirty-six or forty-eight. Then open and
it viii be found moist inside. The
moisture has come from the stems. ana
when this has dried off the hay will be
cured sufficiently to go into the barn or
stack. Tie slight heating which hay
thus gets not only does not injure 1t, but
really makes it more palatable to stock.
