HARVESTING CORN.

Value OF Regular system In Cutting
Each shock.
While the inventors of harvesting
machines are making successful prog
ress in constructing machinery drawn
by horses for cutting the corn crop. the
great majority of the corn fields in the
country at large are still harvested by
means of hand labor. when not allowed
to go to waste. 1t is important, there
fore, while millions of dollars are ex.
pended in labor by the cultivators Of
this crop, that every facility should be
afforded, and the labor reduced as far
as practicable. The suggestions we Of
fer on this subject are not only intend
ed to abridge labor, but to prevent
much of the existing waste by the
needless exposure of the corn fodder
The practice of planting corn in
"hills" is still very largely pursued
throughout the country, and when the
crop is ripe enough and the grain has
well hardened, it is cut by hand and
secured in shocks. These remain sew
eral weeks till the season arrives for
husklng and stacking, during which
time the shocks are exposed to weather
and storms, and portion of them are
commonly beaten down and Frustrated,
soaked with rain and rotted so as to be
of little value for fodder.
A reason for this prostration and
waste is the one-sided way in which
the shocks are built. Instead of plac-
ing the shocks in an equal circle around
the center they are often placed nearly
all on one side, pressing them more or
less out of the center, giving the shocks
IL one-sided tendency, and entirely pros
trating portion of them. This waste
could be prevented by taking the nee

GOD SPEAKS.

God speaks to thee. o man;
II may be when the heavens
Are bright with stars.
Or when the stars are blotted ont
BY clouds and rain;
II may be when the cheek
Is flushed with health,
Or when thy brow Is knotted
Hard with pain.
But then or now

II may be in the busy
Marts Of trade,
Where gold and silver strive
With all their power thy soul to snare;
1t may be in the cooling
Woodland shade,
Where lilies bloom and taxa
No thought or care.
But here or there,
o man, God speaks to thee.
God speaks to thee, o man.
He waits to make thy soul
As sweet, thine ear as sensitive,
AS any child's.
o bid Him no more
Wait outside,
But fling thy hearts door
Open wide.
And here and there
And everywhere,
o man, God dwells with thee!

Handling Lousy Hens.

The best way to treat y hen that is
very lousy is to dust her we'll with fne
ashes. Sift coal ashes, ;.nd then sift
again with -four sieve. as the ashes
must be very fine. In each peck of
ashes mix half pound of insect pow

Good Counsel.

Blessed is the man that sticks to the
place he has until the Lord leads him
into better one, No doubt there are
difficulties and draw backs--opposers
and hardships. They that dig to much
purpose must bend their backs and get
their hands and garments stained with
the clay. If we reach any depth we
must pierce the solid rock. We must
not mind the toll and stain. He that
succeeds must stick to his work.-Cum-
berland PRESBYTERIAN.

how bitter the taste it left after you
had drained it.
And you. fathers and mothers, broth
ers and sisters, friends and neighboYs,
do You know the JOY of always leEd-
ing the helping hand at home,
In the community, in the church,
III every relation of life which you
are called upon to sustain? Are you
constantly an the lookout for too
heavy burden, beneath which you can
place your shoulder and so walk little
way in the joy of love and sympathy at
your toiling brothers side? Or do you,
rather, shun these opportunities for
helpfulness? Are you always slipping
out at the back door, when some poor
brother pilgrim totters with his load of
sin and care and poverty up to your
| threshold? If you are an uncharitab'e
coward, you will have the feelings of a
| coward You will hate and despise
yourself. You will find no pleasure IN
anything which is noble, manly, I'M
selfish and Christ-like. You will be ut
terly miserable every day of your life;
and each time you sneak away from an
opportunity of doing good, you self
condemning heart will be heavier and
more troubled. When man gets to
hating himself for his own inherent
selfishness, and yet makes no effort to
break the bond of self, he is undergo

which he is capable. 1t is hell here
and now, hell begun in this world
And if a man makes no effort to get
out of hell in this world, is it not likely
that he will escape it in the next?
But if anyone is miserable and un

Christ. What is that law? Bear "
one another's burdens" How simple il
is. how practical, how easily possible
for everyone of us. Nothing so plain
so ready to hand, as this everyday duty
of helpfulness. Christ does not ash
