The Ever Present Crisis.
Backward look across the ages and the beacon
moments see,
That like peaks of some sunk continent 1uo
through oblivions sea,
Not an ear in court or market for the low, fore
boding cry
Of those crises, Gods stern winnowers, from
whose feet earth 8 chaff must fly.
Never shows the choice moinentous till the
Judgment hath passed by.
Careless seems the great Avenser. History's
pages but record
One death grapple in the darkness 'twixt old
systems and the word.
Truth forever on the sca1fold, wrong forever
on the throne,
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and be.
hind the dim unknown
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping
watch above his own.
We see dimly in the present what is small and
what is great
Slow of faith, how weak an arm may turn the
iron helm of fate.
But the soul is still oracular amid the markets.

Then to side with truth is noble when we
share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit and tbs
prosperous to be just
Then it is the brave man chooses whlle tine
coward stands aside,
Doubling in his abject spirit till his LORD Is
crucifed
And the multitude make virtue OF the talth

Count me DER earths chosen heroes. They
We're souls that stood alone
While the men they agonized for hurled the
contumelious stone,
Stood serene and down the future saw l1e
golden beam incline
To the side of perfect justice, mastered by
their faith divine,
BY one mans plain truth to manhood and TO
Gods supreme design.

THE SWEET, SAD YEARS.

The sweet, sad years, the sun, the rain
Alas too quickly did they wane!
For each some boon, some blessing bore.
OF smiles and tears each had its store,
Its checkered lot of bliss and pain.
Although II idle be and vain,
Yet cannot the wish restrain
That l had held them evermore-
The sweet, sad years!
Like echo of an old refrain
That long within the mind has lain,
keep repeating Ger and Ger,
"Nothing can e'er the past restore.
Nothing bring back the years again.
This sweet, sad years!

Ripe For a Miracle.

Ripe For a Miracle,
Why are the churches emptyP
Why do the people passY
Ministers offer them musty hay,
And people yearn for grass.
Yon ragged wretch that famished sinks
Sullenly down the street
Can never be reached by canting prayers.
The thing he needs is meat
Christ raised the weak but Christ Is gone
Shall we who praise his deeds
Do us he did or waste our days
Battling for wornout creedsf
The times are ripe for miracle
AS surely as you are you
Jesus gave to the hungry bread.
That should his churches do.

Self Control.

Self Control.
l saw an angel with majestic mien
And radiant brow and smile divinely sweet.
Strong human passions writhed beneath his
feet.
There, too, expired those coward faults which
screen
Themselves behind inheritance and lean
On dead men for their strength and think 1t
meet.
All, all, lay PROSTATE, owning their defeat
Then to the spirit with the eyes serene
l cried aloud in wonder and in awe:
80 mighty one, who art thou, that thy glance
Can circumvent heredity, cheat chance
And conquer nature? What thine occult law
Art thou incarnate force, the oversoul?'
The angel answered, IT am self control. "

While plows and other agricultural
implements of American manufacture
to a considerable amount in dollars are
exported to many foreign countries, the
value of the American harvesting ma
chinery exported is greater than that of
any of them. American harvesting ma
chimes, mowers, reapers and binders,
and so on, are used all over the world
and in many countries extensively
American machines, like other Amer
lean products, are copied by foreign
manufacturers. but the foreigners are
of course year behind. The American
machine placed on the market contem-
poraneously with the foreign copy is
likely to contain improvements over the
machine copied from one of year be-
fore, and it is sure to have some touch
of superiority III detail or workmanship
American harvesting machines are

strongest and the hest adapted to their

LONG. Low NARROW FRAME.

of sides, such as is found in farm wag-
ons. The accompanying illustration
from the New York Tribune shows such
a frame, with a simple arrangement for
supporting the center. This permits the
use of light frame and likewise the
hauling of heavy loads, since an invert-
ed truss Of this sort is extremely power
full.
A frame like this can easily be made
by any one from spruce lumber and at
tached to two pairs of wheels-rigidly
to those in the rear and by a loose iron
pin TO the axle of those in front, thus
permitting the forward wheels to turn
readily beneath the frame. Two men
can work on either side of such rig as
this, both in loading and unloading,
and the work can be done with expedi
ton.
The same outfit can be used for han
ding other farm crops by the addition
of a light flooring of boards, such as
apples III barrels, potatoes, wool and
wood. Spruce is the best wood to use in
its construction because this wood is
very light and at the same time very
tough and strong.

Rye Before Wheat.

Buckwheat and rye sown upon the
land for the purpose of conducting a
green fallow if plowed under need not
increase smut, rust or blight or tend to
winter killing if fall wheat be sown
upon inverted land. The only prereq-
uisite to sure success consists in
blowing under the rye or buckwheat
most thoror hly at least one month be-
fore the wheat is to be sown Rural
New Yorker says: During July the land
should be rolled and harrC wed frequent
ly, and the former implement should
precede the latter that the land may
be left with soft mulch on the surface
in the intervals between the different
tillage operations. This frequent tillage
will soidify the subsurface soil, set
free plant food, tend to bring moisture
from the subsoil to near the surface and
in every way tends to fit the land for
successful winter wheat culture FIRE.
quently winter wheat is sown upon land
which is entirely too loose in the SUBJ
surface soil. This plant loves soft,
mellow surface and well fined, COM

Transplanting Vegetables.

In setting out cabbage and celery the
top should be shortened severely SO as
to lessen evaporation. This will make a
very vigorous growth, besides prevent
ing the setback which a withered leaf
on transplanted plant always gives.
With each trausplanting there will come
a large mass of roots, SO that after be-
ing twice trausplanted the cabbage or
other vegetable Will grow without any
perceptibe check. If the weather is not
suitable heel the plants in, covering tops
and all for two CT three days Then the
roots will be ready to grow at once. -
