The LAST

When that last Sabbath comes-the Sab
bath of all creation-the heart, wearied
with it's tumultuous beatings, shall have
rest: the soul, fevered With its anxieties,
shall enjoy peace. The sun of the Sabbath
will never set or hide its ~splenGors in a
cloud. The flowers that grow in its light
will never fade. Our earthly Sabbaths are
but dim reflections of the heavenly Sab
bath, cast down upon the earth, dimmed
by the transit of their rays from so great
a height and so distant a world. The fair
est landscapes, or combinations of scenery
upon earth, are but tie outskirts of the
paradise of God, fore-earnests and intima-
lions of that which lies beyond them, and
the happiest Sabbath heart. whose very
pulse is a Sabbath bell, hears but a very in
adequate echo of the chimes and harmo-
mics of that Sabbath, that rest, where We
crest not day and night" in which the
song is never new. and yet ever sung

Creamerv Associations.

In New Zealand the secretaries Of the
creameries have formed an organiza-
ton and have held IN institute. The
suggestion contained in the formation
of this organization will doubtless be
acted upon elsewhere and will result
in a closer drawing together Of these
interests. In this country the eam
cry managers doubtless hold about the
same relative relation to the cream-
cries that the secretaries do in New
Zealand. It certainly would be a step
in advance if the managers of cream
cries could get together once in
awhile and hold an institute. 1t should
result in a decided Improvement Of
the service.

PENIS GROVE, Nj, FRIDAY. AUGUST I. 1908.
A MUSICAL DISPUTE.

Those who haven't heard me warble,"
Said the Pencil to the Slate.
Have missed. in my opinion,
A treat that's very great.
Some singers use their threats, I know.
But that's not what / do;
! use my foot, and SO I sing,
When | walk over you."
You're mistaken, Madame PENCIL
Cried the Slate, Indignantly;
The lovely notes which then arise
Belong, of course, to me.
The song I sing is very fine,
Of that there's not a doubt,
But credit isn't due to you,
Who simply stroll about"
The Pen had heard them pickering,
And ~interposed like this:
When Slate and Pencil squabble thus
They act, l think, amiss.
You both of you produce those sounds
Which 10 one can forget,
So do be sensible, my friends,
And call tia duet!'

The Likeness of Christ.

DR.. LYMAN Abbott says: The artist
stands at his easel painting the portrait
of one before him; and l go and look at 1t:
and scowl and shrug my shoulders n
say: 1T is not like him; can see the ghost
lustreless eyes and the untrue features,
but it is not my friend And the artist
says: Wait when / have finished the
picture, and put the purpose--the soul
into it, then Judge, not before So Christ
sits for His portrait, and God takes me for
a canvas, and paints, and ever and anon l
grow foolish enough to look at myself. and
Shake my head in despair, and say, That
win never be a portrait. and then l come
hack to His promise: "You shall be salts
fed when you awake IN His likeness and
/ am satisfied beforehand in this hope that
He gives me-" -

Liberals Now Fear Arrest at the Instance
of the Empress Dowager. hsss
Pekin.-China is witnessing a return
to the conditions which followed the
coup d'etat of 1898. Political discus
sion, which increased during the impe-
rial courts recent policy of friendliness
toward foreigners, has suddenly
stopped, the plan Of the Dowager EN-
press to terrify the reformers by the
execution Of Shen Chen having been
successful.
All the liberal Chinese, partiularly
those who have been associated with
the reformers, are in the greatest fear
of arrest, and it is difficult to find a
Chinaman who is willing to mention
politics. officials are particularly
dumb.
The affair is Disappointing to the for
eigners, who had hoped that the EN-
press Dowager's association with the
ladies of the legations would have a
ciyilizing influence.

Boys Kill Monster Rather

A rattlesnake bearing eleven rattles
and a button was captured in the
woods near Vineland, after a lively
battle, by James and Mahlon Souders
and Reading Daniels. Daniels think
ing that it was a harmless pine snake,
was about to pick it up when it coiled
and sprang at his body. The Souders
boys, obtaining a long pole, killed the
snake. It was two inches in circell-
ference and over four feet long.

Cucumbers For Picking.


Factories for picking cucnmbers are
being established wherever the farm
ers will become interested. Small
pickles, not over two and a half inches
long, usually bring about fifty cents
per bushel, a bushel containing about
300 pickles. The average yield is esti-
mated at 100 bushels per acre, though
several hundred bushels may be grown
upon an acre. The mildew destroys
the vines in some sections, but this Is
kept down by spraying. The striped
cucumber beetle, which cannot be de-
stroycd by Paris green or ordinary in
secticides, is a formidable enemy
where it makes its appearance. The
long green varieties of cucumbers are
used. Plenty of manure should be APP
piled. A fertilizer consisting of one
part nitrogen, one part phosphoric
acid and two parts potash is about the
proper formula for cucumbers. Gu
cumbers are sailed with two quarts
Of salt per bushel Of cucumbers, packed
closely in .tireces or barrels, and
enough brine added to cover them.
The brine must be added daily. as
evaporation will lower the water in
the vessel and expose the eucumbers,
which will damage them. Growers
can cooperate, form a.joint stock COM
pany, and sell the pickles on the mar
ket. thus securing the largest profit
possible from growing them.

what We Can Give.

One of the bravest things in the world Is
to give to others out of ones deepest pow
erty, whatever that may be-cheer out of
sorrow, hope out of disappointment, help
out of WEAKNESS, courage out of defeat, the
precious mite out of the slender store. 1t
IS a brave thing to do this, and yet not Of
ten an unrewarded thing. We do not
know that the recording angel keeps any
special account of such heroic benevoiences,
but surely they do not escape the loving
cognizance of God.ZWeilspring.

value of silage and Cured Fodder.


Experiments have been made at the
Vermont and Wisconsin stations, in
which two rows Of corn across the
field were cut and placed in shocks,
while the next two were run through
the feed cutter aa3d placed in the silo.
By thus alternating until the silo was
filed equal quantities of material cut
at the same time and from the same
field were obtained. The field cured
fodder was later through the feed
cutter and fed in comparison with the
silage. to dairy cows, with equal guam
titles of hay and grain.
The results at the Vermont station
were as follows: The 1892 pounds
green fodder corn when dried, fed
with a uniform daily allowance Of hay
and grain, produced 1858 pounds milk.
The 1892 pounds greed fodder corn
converted into silage and fed with the
same daily ration Of hay and grain,
produced 1925 pounds milk.
At the Wisconsin station from %, 800
pounds green fodder were obtained
24,440 pounds silage, which. fed with
1913 pounds hay and 1884 pounds
grain. produced 1896 pounds milk, con-
tanning 340.4 pounds fat. From %, O
pounds green fodder We're obtained
1880 pounds field cured fodder corn,
which, fed with 1867 pounds hay and
2743 pounds grain, produced 7119
pounds milk, containing 1882 pounds
fat.
At the Vermont station the silage ra-
ton produced 237 pounds or IL per
cent. more milk than was obtained
from the dry fodder ration. At the
Wisconsin station the silage ration
yielded 3H pounds more milk and %
