THE SENSE OF SIN.
DR.. Hills Declares We Must Not Lose
Our Ffneness of Fiber and
DeHcacy of Conscience.

Consider the importance OF sensitive
ness to the minutest form of error or
transgression. Alas for him who has
become coarse and callous and lost the
sense of sin! Hardness is hopelessness.
Delicacy is life and salvation. Blessed
is the man in whom transgression leaves
black bruise or bloody cash. AS men
become scholarly they are disturbed by
bad rhetoric or grammar. AS men be-
come musical they become sensitive to
discord. A perfect orator is tortured by
the voice and gesture and posture of a
poor speaker. 1t is wounded man that
values physician. 1t is the sense of
pain that longs for ether or chloroform:
it is blindness that recognizes the real
value OF sight; it is the man who has
been in dungeon who appreciates lib
erty. Above all else. it is the sense of
sin and the consciousness of error that
lend value TO thoughts about Saviour
and His forgiveness.
MI Gladstone thought the difference
between our generation and the for
mer one was the loss of the sense of sin.
A man of equal intellect added that we
have also erred in thinking there is
nothing in God to fear Nothing in
God to fear! What greater mistake
can be made than that? | do not mean
future punishment. Gone forever the
inferno of Dante and Milton Gone the
lurid flames of Michael Angeles Last
Judgment" Gone all thought of saints
who lean over the battlements of
Heaven to rejoice in the agonies of
the lost soul. The last remnant of
these Grass and vulgar interpretations
has persisted forever. But God is love.
and God remains. Love that pities. love
that forgives, love that redeems and
saves. But there is nothing so much to
be feared as love! What is so terrible
as love? 1t is a thousand times easier
to go toward blows than toward silent
and injured love. One could endure
martyrdom that is physical, easily
what noble nature, in view of the woes
OF the slave and the sorrows of chill
dren, has not been caught up into the
moods when martyrdom would have
been Joy-in imagination at least
when one would not have gladly died a
thousand deaths for the weak and op-
pressed!
But death by fire and death by the
scourge and death by stones and death
by the bullet-all these are physical.
and the pains are brief and the death
throes come swiftly. How can this
youth, who has brought his fathers
gray hairs down in sorrow to the grave.
ever forgive himself for having wound
ed his fathers love? How can a man
forget his ungenerosity toward the all
generous God? 1t is the love of God
that holds terror 1t is His all-endur-
ing mercy that stirs alarm No harsh
er thing, therefore, can be said of our
generation than that we have lost the
sense of sin. Our age has suffered MANY
forms of injury. Let us hope that we
have not suffered so grievously that
for us there is nothing in God to fear,
we can lose our art, our libraries, our
tools and recover; but we must not lose
our flneness of fiber and delicacy of con-
science, that feels every form of sin and
is afraid of injured love.-Dr. Newell

FARMERAND Pr ANTER.
LABOR ON THE FARM.
Why Should the Farmer Demand
Fifteen Hours' work Day Of
His Hired Hands,.

| There Is great deal said of late
years about the difficulty of securing
reliable farm help at prices that farm
ers can afford. There has been great
change within the last thirty or forty
years in this respect. The wonderful
development of the country requires
labor, then there are the large facto-
rles that manufacture all kinds of ma
chinery for the economical saving OF
labor; these things have increased the
capacity OF the farm production, have
furnished an increased demand for
farm productions, and have furnished
a demand for labor in other fields at
better wages than the farmer can af-
ford to pay under the old plans of man
aging the farm. The result is that the
best hands in many sections have left
the farm and sought employment else
where. AS result of these changes
the farmer finds himself under the ne
cessity of doing his work himself, or of
trusting it to such unreliable help as
he can employ at low wages. 1t seems
to me that many farmers expect too
AAoSh Vi ehSiA Ill GU hClP oily way w ny
should farmer expect Is hours for
a days work when public works only
demand ten. | have known farmers to
require their hands to work from
sunup until shutdown. OF course this
may be the exception rather than the
rule, but nearly all farmers expect
longer days work than are required at
public works. Who can blame the la
borer for going where he can get
shorter hours and better wages. l no

wailing his fate concerning farm help,

have no sympathy for farmers who
want to make mere drudges of their
farm hands. They should have to do
their work themselves. But what is
the remedy? l am acquainted with
farmer living only a few miles from
here who keeps several hands all the
time. He does not pay extra high
wages either, but always seems to get
hands when he wants them. Then ev-
cry hand knows just what is expected
of him, and he goes right ahead and
does his work. This man in some way
manages to keep the same hands from
year to year, and they all seem inter-
ested in their work. If there is pub
lie day, such as political speech or
other place of entertainment for this
mon to attend, his work hands go as
well as himself. By this means the
hands see that their rights are respect
ed and that they are not regarded by
their employer as, being of degraded
class, just because they are hired hands.
can not help but think that if there
were home farm journals and rural
books put in reach of the farm labor
ers, and they had some time each day
to read them, there would be more in
terest taken in the work. The labor
er would think more for himself about
his work, and thinking would naturally
beget an interest that a man who just
goes on with his work to get in the
day can not have. | remember SEN
tence given in Harvey's grammar, that
used to have to study, which reads:
"All work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy" Is this not also true of the
farm laborer?-A. j. Legg, in Agricul-
tural Epitomist.

1t is not always the cow that gives
the richest milk that fills the pocket
book A homely farmer put this truth
to me the other day in bright if homely
words. In answer to the statement
that certain lot of cows gave milk so
rich that 16 pounds of it would make a
pound of butter, he said: Eyes, and it
would take 16 of them to make the
pound of butter"
The fact is, quality is not the only
thing we must seek in the COW. There
must be quantity as well. Suppose we
figure on this little. Here is a COW
that gives milk, 16 pounds of which
will make pound of butter In day
we will say she gives the 16 pounds.
This butter is sold at say % cents
pound. This the cow does 800 days
in the year. At the end of the season
she has to her credit, if she can main
tain this record and the price remains
the same, 800 pounds of butter, worth
SIS. Here is another COW that gives
milk requiring 20 pounds for pouni
of butter Every day for the 300 days
she gives % pounds of milk, making
IN pounds of butter When the sea-
son ends she has 375 pounds of butter,
worth $93.75, to show for her work.

ALFALFA FOR DAIRY FARMS.
IL IL Prolific and Has n Feeding VAL
ne Almost Exactly Equal to
That of Bran.

State Dairy Commissioner Wright, of
Iowa, has issued. little pamphlet on
alfalfa growing, from which the follow
Ing paragraphs are taken:
Not only does successfully grown
alfalfa produce three or more tons of
hay to the acre, but it has feeding
value almost exactly equal to that of
bran. 1t furnishes the protein which
Is not found in sufficient amount in any
of the commonly grown grains and
folders from which a balanced ration
can be put together. If Iowa farmers
can grow alfalfa they will no longer
need to buy bran and oatmeal to feed
with their corn to cows, and neither
will the steer feeder find it necessary
to buy cotton seed meal to balance his
ration for his steers. The extraordi-
nary value of alfalfa will warrant con-
siderable expense in experimenting on
a few acres.
1T is useless to try alfalfa on soil
that is wet or had hardpan subsoil.
1T requires soil sufficiently porous SO
that it's roots may go down from ten

most vigorous plants, but young alfalfa
is one of the weakest plants grown. 1t
grows slowly, is weak feeder. and is
easily checked by weeds or other un-
favorable conditions of soil or wealth
er. Hence, the soil should be free
from weeds, in the best possible filth,
rich in plant food, and not too loose
on the surface, or the seed will like
moisture for termination and growth.
Alfalfa should be seeded at the rate of
twenty or more pounds to the acre,
and should have the full use of the
land the first year, should be moved,
but not removed from the ground, as
soon as the blossoms begin to appear.
If the soil is at all sour, lime may be
added with profit.
Some experiments in Illinois seem
to indicate a probability that inocula-
ton of the soil will be a valuable aid
in growing alfalfa. By putting in the
soil some of the soil brought from
old alfalfa fields of western Iowa or
Nebraska is is believed that the bacte
ria necessary for the successful growth
of alfalfa will be furnished, and will
quickly multiply and insure the best
results from the alfalfa. The farmers
of the state will find the question OF the
proper ration completely solved as soon
as they can raise sufficient alfalfa hay
for their cattle, as alfalfa hay and corn
make a balanced ration for cattle. I'm
der present conditions, even if the
farmer has good clover hay, he must
buy oil meal or bran or some other
feed that will supply the lack of pro-
tein in corn and corn fodder, and the
other farm grains and rough feeds"
