Mr. Milton has been giving us Eng
lish song, now we will have the lottier
music of King David"
And we shall get no grander music,
sir" said Doctor Owen, than is to be
found in the Bible. Sublimity is He
brew by birth. We must go to the
Holy Book for words beyond our
words. Is there a man living who
could have written that glorious
hymn.
Lord, Thou hast been our dwell
ing place in all generations;
before the mountains were
brought forth, or ever Thou hadst
formed the earth and the world; even
from everlasting to everlasting Thou
art God'?"
Cromwell did not answer; he was
turning the leaves of the dear, homely
looking volume which his daughter
had laid before him. She hung affec-
tionately over his shoulder, and when
he had found what he wanted, he look
ed up at her and she smiled and nod
ded her appreciation. Then he said:
Truly, l think no mortal pen but
st. Johns could have written these
lines; and I give not st. John the
honor for the Holy One must have
put them into his heart, and the
hand of his angel guided his
pen" And he began to read, and the
words fell like a splendid vision, and
a great awe filled the room as they
dropped from Cromwell's lips.
And when he ceased there was a
silence that could be felt, a silence
almost painful, ere DR.. Owens silvery
voice penetrated it with the words of
the Benediction. Then the Protector
and Mrs. Cromwell kissed the girls
and the clergymen blessed them, and
they went to their rooms as from the
very presence of God.
But Mrs. Cromwell fingered a long
time. She could not rest until she had
seen the silver and crystal and fine
damask put away in safety; and she
thought it no shame to look-as her
Lord did-after the fragments of the
abundant dinner.

said to the steward, nor given tC

Some Irrigation Profits.

The United States Department of
Agriculture reports a series of expert
ments for testing the effect of irriga-
ton and fertilization on sandy soils,
such as are common in large sections
of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minneso-
ia. These lands are poor in plant
food, and retain so little moisture that
all attempts to farm them have failed.
Inc experiments included the supply
ing OF both manure and water. Ma
nure alone was of little use, as there
was not water enough to make the
plant food available. Water alone pro-
duced good results, but the applica-
ton of both gave the best results. The
cost of irrigation was $50 per acre,
and the net gain from irrigation was
as follows: Potatoes, $50 per acre;
corn, 81 per acre; watermelons, $58
per acre; muskmelons, $45 per acre.
From these experiments it seems that
with special crops irrigation of the
sandy lands is profitable, but the in
crease in yield of corn is not enough
to justify the expense of securing a
has been used on small fruits and veg
etables, and the added returns due
to irrigation vary a great deal with
the seasons. Some years no irrigation
is needed, in others all crops need it,
but in most years some crops are
helped by it. Professor voorhees,, who
has charge of this work, reports that
in his opinion irrigation where tried
has paid well. Pumping from streams
or wells is the most common way Of
getting water for fruit and garden ir-
rigation. Small plants furnishing wa
ter enough for from five to ten acres,
including pump and engine, cost from
5000 to $500.

More In Prosnect.

A certain professors young wife
lately tried to make an impression on
the obdurate heart Of her husband by
bursting into food of tears.
She did not get much by it, however.
for, shaking his head, he observed:
"Come now. cease crying: tears are
not good for much. have tested
them chemically. They merely con-
sist of little phosphate or lime and
chloride of soda. but for the most part
nothing but insipid water"
"That may be-" rejoined the wife,
"but I should like to know whose tears
you have been experimenting with.

POULTRY
Land for Poultry Culture.

Idnu TOT Poultry Cuiture.
Poultry culture has the advantage
over most other kinds of farming
operations in that little land is re-
quired for extensive operations and
that land unusable for anything else
may be made serviceable for poultry
raising For the production of food
for poultry of couse good land is re-
quired, but for their runs any kind of
land will do. 1t is possible to take
a sandy waste and use 1t to advantage
in providing runs for poultry. When
it comes to the question of alloting
land for the support of a large flock
of poultry it is rather difficult to get
down to a business basis. This is
largely because the food of the poultry
comes largely from waste products.
For instance there Is the supply of
bone and meat scraps from the
butchers, which will make a consider
able part of the feed. The use of this
reduces the land requirements for sus-
tanning the flock. Other waste prod
ucts can be utilized which all works
in the same direction On the farm
the land requirement for poultry cul.
ture is comparatively small even when
fiocks of considerable size are kept.
This is especially true of water fowls,
where there is stream or lake acces-
sible. Leaving out the question Of
producing food for the poultry, one
acre will be found sufficient for 200
hens, if they be kept in small 1ocks.
This land may be made to grow a
good deal of green stuff, If each yard
be divided into two and the fowls per-
mitted for forage on the green stuff
in one part of the yard while new
supply is growing in the other.

Water From creamerles.

\ number of dairy and creamery
journals have been discussing the
question of using the waste water
from creameries for the purpose OF
irrigation. The water is applied with
in short distance of the creameries
to vegetables and flower gardens.
Such use of the waste water is certain
ly commendable one, and would be
especially sensible in the states where
there is deficiency In the rainfall.
Using the water In this way both gets
rid Of the wsser and gets profit out

CUTTING Fodder for Horses.

1t Is perhaps the general opinion
that when horses have ample time for
chewing and digesting their feed there
Is no necessity for chatting or cutting
hay and straw. When the time for
feeding is limited chatting and cutting
coarse fodder is regarded as advan-
tageous. This Is an item of special
importance with hard-worked horses
kept in the stable only at night. Fur
thermore, chaffed feed occupies less
space for storage than uncut hay or
straw, and can be readily handled.
Shredding corn fodder is regarded as
an economical practice, but apparent
ly few experiments on the comparative
merits of shredded and whole corn fod-
der for horses have yet been reported.
No marked variation was observed in
the weights of two lots of horses fed
whole and cut timothy or whole and
cut alfalfa and clover hay mixed, in
test carried on at the Utah Station.
At the Maryland Station, in studies
OF the digestibility of a number Of
whole and ground feeds, it was found
that grinding corn shives-that is,
cornstalks from which the blades,
husks and pith are removed-until the
material resembled coarse bran, did
not destroy its value as coarse fod-
der, and that the Underground mate
rial supplied the necessary bulk to the
ration. as well as the same material
ungrounI. 1t was further claimed
that the Underground coarss fodder
possessed an advantage over the un-
ground material in that it could be
mixed with grain to form a weil-bal
anced ration and fed to horses on ship
board, or under similar conditions,
more readily than unground fodder
end grain.-Government Bulletin.
