A recent number of Dor Mitarboitor,
the organ of the German Christian En-
deavorcrs in this country, contains more
than three pages of communications
from Germany, which show the prog
ress of Christian Endoavor work In the

to take the Christian Endeavor society
just as it is and intend to organize gen.
uine Endeavor societies, like the first

Natures Touch.

Nature looked out on the woodlands
As summer was closing her eyes
And said, ''When the autumn awnltens,
I'll give her u brilliant surprise"
Then dipping hor brush in the flame tints,
She scattered them broadcast around
Till the shrubs, and tho vines, and the tree tops
With brightness and glory abound.
But the glory was transient and faded.
The leaves withcrcd up being dead
And losing their hold from the branches
Dropped down on their cold, wintry bed.
While the trees their poor, bare arms extended,
As If in u silent appeal,
That they might again have their own cover
ing,
For they seemed to think Nature must feel.
When spring, joyous spring, is returning,
Melting ice, both with sunshine and rain.
The heart of Dame Nature relenting,
She'll clothe them with verdure again.

have varieties that are better adapted
to extensive egg production than
others, yet the laying of eggs depends
altogether upon the quality of ration
the hens of any breed get. Scientific
men tell us that an egg is an ounce

up of lime, soda, sulphur. iron, phOs-

. The American Sheep Breeder says:
One of the most prevalent diseases in
young lambs is that commonly known
as the white scours, a form of diarrhea
due to- Indigestion of the ewes milk,
which is passed through the bowels
with very little change. This is one Of
those common instances. of the we'll
known fact that a young animal suffers
from the disease Of its dam, due to the.
milk conveying the disease by its un-
wholesome character. This trouble in
the flock is mostly at a time when the
ewes are turned On the grass for the
first time, and the young and immature
heritage has not sufficient nutrinnent in
it, but too much water, and turns sour
in the stomach Of the eve. Necessari-
ly. this affects the milk. the poisonous
matter passing off from the eve in this
way without affecting her in
marked way. And thus the lambs suf-
fer while the dams escape. Prevention
is always the safest in a flock, and to
avoid long feeding on a rank growth
of young grass. especially on a rich or
moist soil, and a gradual change from
dry feed to green grass, will always be
a safeguard against this disorder, which
IL not quickly suppressed, will kill Off
the lambs in a few hours after they are
taken with 1t.

The farmers Of the south. despite the

During the same period the New Eng
land and middle states had increased
but q per cent. From 1880 to 1890, the
south gained IS per cent in the amount
OF agricultural products. the rest of the
country gaining 9 per cent. The re-
ceipts for farm produce were over 81
per cent on the capital invested: the
other states in the union received but
II per cent. These are the gross re-
ceipts, and show that the southern
farmer receives on the capital invested
nearly 81 where the northern farmer
receives 81. Then. II the cost Of living.

son are considered, it will largely in

southern farmer. The crops that can

THE Stove Made Them Law.

A reader at Pittsburg, Pa. sends us
an interesting letter and states how he
secured eggs in winter from thirty hens
by the use of a stove. He says.
I'VE have thirty brown Leghorn hens,
eight of which are in their second or
third year., the others poultry from
last May. They r inclosed in two
c0ops. each 9x12 feet, with plenty Of
light. clean quarters (being cleaned
twice a week and daily in summer).
and floors covered with cut straw to
the depth of three or four inches. Also.
a free range of. two or three acres in
fair weather. Our method of feeding is
as follows: Morning meal, potatoes OF
any other kind of. vegetables, with bits
OF meat. pieces Of dry. bread (scalded}.
and on this enough bran. crushed bone.
and fine grit to make all amount to
two and one-half quarts. This is al

is served warm and renewed at noon
daily. At noon, three or four handfuls
of oats, miliet; small feeds among lit

corn or oats. alternately. They start
ed to lay in November and continued
till winter, when they stopped for want
of sufficient warmth. We then pro-
cured a small stove and by running the
pipe through both coops warmed both.

is probable that the Black Minorca

In. this country the dog is, in nine
cases out of ten, the master of the man,
writes the Brussels correspondent Of the
Baltimore News. In continental Europe
the reverse is the case, the dog there
being too often the martyr Of the man.
In Belgium is this especially noticeable,
for one of the first, things that. i'm
presses the stranger In Brussels Is the
immense number Of dogs employed in
drawing barrows and small carts about
the. streets. In that city alone over
ten thousand dogs are so engaged. and
the total number Of. .draught. dogs in.
the whole country. is probably not less
than fifty thousand.
Generations of servitude have made
the Belgian dog a race apart. For his
size he Is said to possess the greatest
pulling power Of any animal, four times
his own weight being considered q load
well within his power. Taking his aver
age weight as half a hundred weight.
this means that. something like 5000
tons are daily dragged about by canine
labor in Belgium.
The economic importance Of the Bel
gian dog and his inability to. give ef-
fective expression to his own grfev-
ances. have caused the Royal Society
for the Protection of Animals to I'M
dertake. an agitation for the ameliora-
ton of his lot. It Is urged that the
animals are frequently overloaded and
often cruelty treated, and that in many
cases they are given no opportunity for
resting when the cart or barrow is not
actually in motion. Among the reforms
demanded are "a the abolition Of the
whip and severe penalties against
the S:utal practice Of kicking
tired-out dogs; -(2) the raising
of the minimum shoulder height
for dogs Of burden from twenty
to twenty-five inches; 81 a penalty
against. drunkenness when in charge
and against the employment of children
as drivers. and a. the compulsory ar
Of harness and shafts SO as
to permit the animals to lie down when.
the vehicle is at rest. Although there
is no demand as yet by either the dogs

law. there al be no doubt that the
adoption Of these planks in the platform
of canine emancipation will be hailed
with gratitude throughout weary dog
dom in the domain Of King Leopold. i

Growing Granberries.

Last week we had something to say
about cranberries and the soil on which
they could be- best grown. The soil
best adapted to the growing Of this
fruit is a mixture of sand and muck.
One way to obtain this desired soil is
to haul onto the ground designed for
c~ranberries large Quantities. of muck.
After this has decomposed we 1t
with fine sand from the beach. In a
few years the two will become inc0rp0-
rated. making a fine, black, sandy soil.
On ground prominently fitted for the
growing Of ~cranberies the soil rarely
becomes dry except on the surface.
Stagnant water is to be avoided. as it
usually proves fatal. Running brooks in
such a meadow are Of value, but they
must be under full control. The
ground must be in such shape that it
can be drained. from one to two feet
below the. surface. The streams arc to
be used for winter flooding and sum-
mer irrigation. Some people, advise
planting vines upon uplands, but such
locations are not advisable. True, the
vines will sometimes live and bear.
but 1t is an unusual state of affairs and
should not be encouraged; for. instance.
writers on cranberry growing say that
vines. upon dry lands are .shOrt-lived,
blossoms are blasted. and the fruit is
dwarfed or badly worm eaten, the raw
ages of the fruit worm being greatest
upon dry soils.
According to the opinions of. some
growers, soil heavily impregpated with
oxide of iron should not be selected.
Nearly. all Of readers will readily
recognize such soil by the iron rust"
that collects in the little stag
nant pools. The main objection to
such soil Is that 1t freezes In a different
manner from most other soils, the ice
and frozen earth forming long crystals,
and these latter have a. tendency to
throw out of the ground the little roots
Of the cranberry. 1t is rue that such
lands a be used, but they will need
to be kept flooded in winter, and IL BY
any reason the water becomes drawn
of. a disaster may follow.
The same objection is urged against
pure muck, as it will heave out the
vines during the freezing and thawing
process, II not covered by water or sand.
One or two inches of sand over the
muck will prevent this. Coarse or
flakey mucks are also to be avoided. as
they neither retain moisture, o act as
capillary sponge to draw up water
in dry seasons. Such soil can be used
only with irrigation.
Preparing a Swamp.
First dig a draining ditch about two
feet deep l~engthwise of the swamp and
wide enough to take all the storm water
that comes. The next move Is to re-
the turf, which may be some
times more easily done by first burning
OF the dry grass. After the turf has
been removed, the branch drains may
be ding. The distance apart Of these
will depend much upon the con-
dition Of the soil. but some place them
at. two rods apart. After this comes
blowing and sanding. As to the
depth Of sand everything will depend
On the conditions. The depth must
vary according to the depth Of the
muck and condition Of the bottom, |
most sand being required on those
weedevs that have the deepest muck. ]
