SILAGE CORN.

The ideal silage corn is one that grows quickly, has large, tall stalks, an abun- dance of leaves and ears well. Pride of the North comes as near this as any variety and is very heavy yielder for the ears, too. It is a dent variety and it seems strange that the dent corns are not more largely grown in the East. They produce more sheIled corn to the acre, will mature in most sections and give much larger yield of fodder. For the silo the dent kinds certainly surpass the flint varieties because they produce more stalks to the acre, and the South ern corn because this latter is too coars and does not mature. Silage corn should be planted the same as field corn and put in the silo, ears and all. Many like to plant it in rows and work 1t only one one way. By dropping a kernal every foot a heavier yield will be ob- tained and ears enough, too. If it is worked two or three times crosswise with a smoothing harrow before it is six inches high, the after cultivation will be greatly lessened and the use of a hoe can be entirely dispensed with. In fact, hand culture with a hoe costs too much at any time in the corn field and takes away all the profits The Practical Dairyman.

But when the wind began to blow, the wires began to vlbrate and to play like a Juneful IEolian harp in his window. As the wind rose into a fierce gale. the old baron sat in his castle and heard his hurricane-harp play grandly above the battlements. So there are chords in the human heart which in the calm moments Of life are still. but which, when the winds of adyersity blow and the gales of sorrow rise, send forth a grand note of holy exaltation and sublime confidence that could never have been heard in the calm moments of prosperity. What makes this glad note mid the wildness of the storm? It is the discovery of hitherto unseen stay and staff, it is a dis covery of our wonderful Friend.
 But why this sermon now? Why such thought at such a time? Around us is every sign of prosperity this bright day is suggestive of bright thought; the notes swelling from our beautiful organ this morning have been only those of praise. Yes, but that is the very reason why this thought of Christ's friendship has come home to me with force which 1 cannot tell. 1 believe in His interest in us, in all that we here say and do i; and, in our moments of gladness, let Us not forget Him who thinks more precious. ly of us than we can ever know.

 A parable. Dear moss," said the old thatch, ''I am ragged, patched and worn, come, cover me with your beautiful garb of green, so that people shall no longer call me unsightly and point at me the finger of scorn." And the gentle moss came and crept up and over and in and out, till every flaw was hidden and all was smooth and fair. Soon the sun i shone out and the thatch looked glorious in it's rays. How beaufiful the tn atch looks '" cried one. "Ahi'' replied the thatch, ''rather let them say How beau tiful is the love of the moss which spreads itself over my faults and lends me it's wonderful gree1." o dear one, you are so bruised by sin and broken by trouble and crushed with despair l let the world no longer harass you with l it's scoffing cries. Speak to Jesus, let l Him cover you with His mantle of sym. pathy, let Him shelter you with His robe | of righteousness, let Him warm you with the rich folds of His love.

DID YOU EVER THINK

of that, how Jesus can be friend for every one? Who was Jesus? He was Jew. He belonged to the most exclusive nation the world has ever known. He was brought up in the provincial town or Nazareth. He never in all His earthly life went beyond the limits of little Paies- tine. He was trained in religion that was narrow and sectarian to the last de- gree. His certainly was life rigid, cir cumscribed and hedged in. And what is the human race; is it all one? It is brok- en into numberless nationalities, sects, parties, creeds. No nation is exactly like another nation, no creed matches with another creed. And nations are broken into States, into counties, into towns, into families. In fact, no two persons on the face of the globe think alike, talk alike, feel alike. And yet this narrow life can mate itself in friend ship with the infinitely varied disposi- tions of men. l am glad this is so, for there is no danger of my being left out or feeling that possibly this divine friend ship cannot be for me. II am so glad it reads 'whosoever', ," said Richard Baxter, reading the gospel within the gospeP, the lGth verse of the 3rd chapter of ohm, flor, if it had read Richard Baxter, l might think some other Richard Baxter
 "do nlCdhIs anu WOulu uOb De CeTtalU that Jesus would receive me- Yes, Je- sus is friend for every one, He is a friend for you, He Is a friend for me.
 What effect does the thought that Je- sus is your friend make upon your life? :? It makes your service for Him sweeter. The highest service in the world is that of friendship and love. Jesus Himself tells us so: ''Henceforth I call you not servants, for the servant knoweth not what his loved doeth; but have called you friends" To serve as servant is to serve doggedly, unlovingly, not knowing the masters plans nor respecting his will; to serve as friend is to serve faith fully, heartily, with the throb of earnest devotion beating through every act that is done. That is the kind of service needed to-day, mot service for pay, for ap- plause, for position, for nything else but love.

CAUSE ALL TO DRIFT AWAY?


 But Jesus Christ is to every fainting Christian heart like star which shines only the brighter as the black night is coming on. In the fearful raging of the storm on the Mediterranean Sea the brave old apostle Paul, manacled though he was, calmed the affrighted sailors with the word There stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am and whom serve, saying, Fear not, Paul; for God hath given thee al. them that sail with thee. believe that the days of Gods reassuring presence are not all gone, believe shat Christ will ssstand by every distressed follower of His till the morning breaketh and the midnight shadows flee away.

but enforces plenty of hard work, and l say these persons have caught the spirit of true service, they are doing all they can. Yes, the world needs such work CTS, who love the kingdom of God better than they love themselves, who love their enemies and the out cast and him that hath no other helper, just because they truly love God.
 What else will the thought that Jesus is your friend do for you? The thought will make life bright even under the dark est cloud. Show me the truest friend whom you have ever known; there may yet come some moment when he will fail you, if that point has not already been reached. A certain philosopher has said man may count himself most happy if he has half dozen friends in his lifetime. Most lives are possessed of far less than that. I knew boys and girls in my boy hood. How true to each other we seem- ed! We unfOlded our secrets, we played together most joyously, we missed each others company if one chanced to be gone for single day. It really seemed as If upon life's altar we had kindled the fire of perpetual devotion, as if we had struck an indissoluble compact, by which we would be bound to the very end. And then there were the friendships of college days! College life is in many re- spects a golden vacation time; cares are few, joys are many, and friendships tie is knit true and strong. But at com mencement day separation comes, new activities engage us, the struggle of life begins in full earnest, and sadly we watch the old friendships die away How many of those noble companions do we now feel as strong an attachment for as in the days not so long gone by? There they are on the fingers of one hand, one, two, thee.
 My friend. is not such your experience? Yes, this is life's sad factor, the disillu- sioning process that is constantly going on, the things we deem steadfast and im- movable that are all the while being borne away. We have many true friends now; but in our hearts there arises the piercing question, How much sickness, how much trouble, how much misfortune will it take to break those tender ties and

The face of the earth was covered with dreary waste of waters. No tree, no shrub, no green thing anywhere, and out over the barren surface Noah sent a dove. Hither and thither the lonely bird flew, seeking for some small resting place or some sign of abated flood and returning verdure. With tiring poise on dropping wing the dove at evening re- turned, having found nothing that gave token of approaching life; and Noah, stretching forth his hand from the win dow of the ark, took the weary nestler to his breast. The earth furnished no place of refuge; that was only in the ark.
 With the historical setting of my text spropose to have little to do. It has come to me as a beautiful introduction to the thought l would place before you. Every one in this life is in quest of some thing; with some men it is riches, with others it is ia good time,' with still oth- CTS 1t is ease, with others it is reputation with others it is rest. Now all of these are familiar thoughts with you; there fore am going to pass them by and speak to you of this one common search of mankind, the search for friend.
 We all are like che dove that Noah let forth from the ark; we are roaming with weary pinion over this worlds measure less expanse and seeking for some one in whom we can thoroughly trust, some one whose sympathies are wholly in ac. cordance with our own, some one to whom we can unburden our hearts, some one who fills up to the last demand ouI longing for true, warm-hearted friend

THE DESIRE IS COMMON.

Every man needs a friend, every man must have a friend, or human life is un- bearable and all it's pleasure is gone.
 Why do we need friends? We need friends to bring us out of the secrecy of our own being, to show to ourselves what manner of men and women we really are. A true friend is to you what light is to the eye, it causes it to see what the hand is to the sweet tuned harp, it sends thrill of tuneful vibration over it's strings; what full answer is to a pleading question, it is the satisfaction of feelings and thoughts.
 What do strangers and chance ac- quaintances do for us? What more do they make of us than we really are? Not much. A formal bow satisfies them and us, careless greeting, an unfeeling clasp of the hand, light, meaningless conversation, cold, conventional phrase or word. Now there is not much in that. Such things are sometimes destructive of the little grace that is in us, they make us use idle forms and be content there with, they make us ape the manners of those whom we deem our superiors and for the while forget that we have any individuality of our own.
 And what do true friends do for us? They open up our natures; our hearts are treasure houses of thought and feel ing, and our friends hold the key. When you have engaged in lively conversation with some close friend on some subject of familiar interest that is dear to you both, have you not often been surprised to discover what thoughts you had and what feelings were yours? For the mo- ment you seemed raised to a height, an- other self than your own appeared to be speaking, and you almost stood in admir- ation of what you found yourself. to be.
 I have walked through these Newtown streets of late and watched with keenest interest nature bursting into life. A few weeks ago all the tree limbs were leaf less and bare. What a transformation to-day! Go out into these streets on this beautiful spring morning. Drink in the perfume laden air as it floats from every blossom weighted bush and every snow crowned tree.
 THE SUN IS BRIGHT,
 the air is warm, the birds are singing, every grass-spire, branchlet and leaf is throbbing with glad, joyous life. And yet all this is but Ma ture's representation of what takes place when friend touches the beating heart of friend. He comes out of the solitari- ness of his winter, out of it's coldness and mystery and chill, out into the sum- rstime of glowing sympathy and mutual love. Yes, every man and wo- man longs for this heart-touch of kim dred life, every one needs true friend.
 We all need friends to help us. The more think of religion and of what q Christians life ought to be, am convirc-
