At the Maryland Agricultural Station
Professor Patterson has experimental with
cornstalks that have had the pith removed.
The pith is now used as protection to YES
sells against the ingress of water, but in the
extraction of the pith the blades and husks
are cut up, and after the removal of the
pth the remainder is ground into meal,
which resembles bran. Professor Patterson
claims that the ground material, weight
for weight, is more dgestible than whole
fodder contains more digestible protein
than timothy, and that rations made up
with it can be prepared with less labor
than with corn blades also that animals
fatten rapidly when fed with it, and that
its keeping qualities are equal to bran or

Fodder corn can be grown at less expense
than corn which is cultivated mostly for its
grain. 1t can be drilled thickly in the
lows, which will give more stalks and
which will be smaller in diameter, and. as
the corn should be cut just as the ears are
about to glaze, the crop will be in no
danger from frost There is no crop which
gives such large returns for its cost as
fodder corn.

Diseased plants should never be added
to the manure heap, as they contamnate
the whole mass. 1t is possible to spread
plant diseases over the entire farm through
the agency of the manure, and no farm
will get rid Of any disease that attacks
plants until all refuse is burnt. Onion
smut, potato scab and sweet potato rot are
spread when the tops are thrown on the
manure. Every tree or plant that is
brought on the farm from other places be-
comes medium for communicating disease
and should he carefully examined on arri-
val, as the nurseryman may not be aware
of the fact that plant is not healthy. 1t
is cheaper to keep disease away than to
combat it after it becomes established.

Two giggling girls pushed their way
into the crowded car. The one was
pretty, and knew it; while the other
wasn't, and didn't seem to know It.
After a great deal of squeezing that
almost took their breath away, they
at last reached the front part of the
car. They kept up their glggling until
a man who was trying to read in the
corner seat got up in disgust and went
out on the front platform. Although
they both wanted to sit down, neither
wished to deprive the other of the
seat.

one.
81 wouldn't enjoy It at all if 1 knew
you were standing" replied the other.
Then they began giggling again.
At last, when another woman rush
ed up to take 1t, the pretty girl showed
Ler friend into the seat, saying: "The
first thing we know we'll lose 1t. Be-
sides, my dear, it's better for you to
take it, because I'm more likely to
have a seat offered me-"
The homely girl stopped ,giggling
and turned red in the face, and when
her friend got out about a mile be-

She ceased her TRADE, and stood gaz
Ing keenly at Marjorie, who sat still
listening in wonder. Despite her sharI
tone and brusque manner, there was
a tenderness in her tone that could MOI
be mistaken. Then, all at once, with
the abruptness peculiar to her, she
changed her tone again, and broke into
a low, chuckling laugh.
And now l haze preach'd my SER
mon," she said, with her grim smile
"hae you had breakfast? Will you tax
some tea?"
But Marjorie had breakfastcd before
starting, and wanted nothing.
Very well. Come and walk in the
garden"
She led the way from the room, and
Marjorie quietly followed.
Passing out by the rear of The house
cross lonely court yard, they reached
a door in the high wall, and entered
the garden-a wilderness of fruit trees,
shrubs, and currant bushes, sadly in
need of the gardeners hand. Tangled
creepers and weeds grew over the
grassy paths. Here and there were
seats, and in one corner was an arbor
almost buried in umbrage. 1t was a
desolate, neglected place, but the sun
was shining, and the air was bright
and warm.
Miss Hetherington took her compan-
ions arm and walked slowly from path
to path.
1.-The gardens like it's mistress" she
said presently, lonesome and neglectit.
Since Waite Henderson died, haze
never employed a regular gardener.
But it's bonny in summer time, for a.
that, and I like it. wild as it is. l
should like weel to be buried here,
right in the heart O. the auld place."
She entered the neglected arbor and
sat down YEARLY. Marjorie stood lock-
ing at her in timid sympathy, while
she pursued the dreary current Of her
thought.
Folk say I'm mean, and maybe l
am; but it's no that! I'm the last o
the Hetheringtons, and it's right and
fitting that the place should waste ava

The question came so abruptly at the

that Marjorie scarcely knew what to

peated the question.

OF these three individuals Caussidiere

again, finally going to sleep.
He was awakened by loul noise
and looking round him, he saw the
congregation moving toward the door,
and Solomon Mucklebacklt, from the
precentor's desk, glaring down at him
in indignation. He rose languidly, and

She walked slowly down the path,
while Marjorie followed in astOniSh-

Frenchman, she looked him deliberate
ly over from head to foot. Not at all
disconnected, he took off his hat again,
and bowed politely.

Caussidiere bowed again With great
respect.

VALUABLE TIME sQUANDERBD.

To one who hears the discussion in
our conventions, and reads the COM
ments on the proposed change of our
creed, and is also familiar with the
creed, its history and its meaning, it
seems to be valuable time squandered
that is spent in a controversy over
any change. Creeds are not what
the world needs. There never was a
soul saved by any creed.
We may spend much time in max
ing a perfect creed, and plate it with
silver or gold and stud it with dia-
monds, yet not one soul will be one
whit better for it. Jesus said Fol
low me-" We are not following the
Divine Master when we while away
our time ''a-tinkering" our creed.
When a Christian church has moth
ing else to do, let it busy itself by
making and repairing creeds, but as
long as the world needs the most
earnest, consecrated and devoted
work out door today, as long as there
is "hell on earth," just so long are
we Shining away the day of grace" by
trying to arrange our creed so that it
will suit every Universalist. Our
old creed is good enough for creed
let it tstand. Its history and its mean
ing should be it's protection. The
work of Christian is not so much to
find out what he believes as it is ''to
follow Him" and feed his lambs"

EVOLUTION OF THE CREED.

Much has been written of late con-
corning the revision of our Confession
of Faith. This is we'll in view of the
fact that the General Convention is to
take action on this matter this fall in
Chicago. Full and free discussion may
pave the way to wise and, we trust, final
action, at least for the present.
1t strikes us that the principle of evo-
luton should be observed in whatever
changes may be made, observed, we
mean, not only in the substance but in
the form of the creed. That it will be
observed in the substance there is no
doubt. Anything like radical change
in the doctrines set forth is not to be
thought of, and will not be attempted.
But any such change ought not to be
attempted in the form. 1t would be
very unwise, we imagine, to attempt
any such thing as complete new form
of words. Our people are familiar with
this form. They are attached to it.
They have been taught it in our Sun
day schools, and they know it as our
Confession of Faith. Many of them
can repeat it word for word; many of
them do 80 repeat it, as an expression
of their own individual faith. The
words to them are sacred, aud anything
like radical change would be rude
and unnecessary shock to their feelings.
1t would seem to them like cutting up
their faith by the roots. The new creed
would be to them new faith. The
doctrine has become identified with the
works, the substance with the form. To
change the latter therefore would be to
change the former. to give a new faith
with the new creed.
1t may be said that this is all senti.
ment. that these feelings are irrational
and unworthy of respect. But he who.
in church building does not respect
them will prove himself anything but
wise master builder. He is cutting the
very cords that bind denomination to-
gether. These sentiments are the de-
nominational cement that maintains the
oneness of the church. Without them
the building would fall into fragments.
Not revolution, then, but evolution
should be the aim of our creed reform
ers. Let the new creed be evolved from
the old, not made "out of whole cloth. /"
Let there be an improvement of the
wording. if need be, but no absolutely
new form. Let nothing be done that
seems like cutting off the past and
starting anew. Continuity should be
maintained in the very form of our con-
fession. II there is any doctrine taught
in the creed that we do not believe, let
that be changed, but nothing more.
The truth is that the doctrines which
the fathers intended to express in our
creed are believed by our people now
just as much as they ever were. They
are the fundamental doctrines of our
church, and essential TO our existence as
a Chris ian Universalist church. The
words chosen to express these doctrines
may not be the best in all cases. II so.

Falls the light of Gods face, bending
Down and watching US below.
And as feeble babes that suffer,
Toss and cry, and will not rest,
Are the ones the tender mother
Holds the closest, loves the best;
So, when we are weak and wretched,
BY our sins weighed down, distressed
Then it is that Gods great patience
Holds us closest, loves us best.
Oh, great heart of God whose loving
Cannot hindered be nor crossed,
