SERMONETTES.

Faith at it's best is but friendship
Worry is either too late or too soon
Sympathy may speak best in silence
No man is so small he cannot be
great in mercy.
Strength is largely matter Of dis
covering allies.
Many a thorn lies hidden in bunch
of soft words.
Influence is our shadow falling often
far beyond our reach.
No man is right with God who is
askew with his fellows.
The way to get even with your de-
tractors is to disappoint them.
For the understanding of others the
heart is the best philosopher.
The fool reaches the limits of knowl-
edge from the outside.
Most of us have to be pulled up short
or we would not live long.
The empty head is always eloquent
on the subject of full heart.
Much preaching is attempting 10 get
water by polishing the faucet.
One form of pious gymnastics is to
walk one way and point the other.
The more a man can pardon in him.
self the less he will forgive in others.
Seldom do we regret uRsaid words
save when they would have been kind
ones.
One true man in false faith is bet
ter than a score of false men in any
true faith.
Only the blind will use the Bible to
condemn others and not feel its in
dictment on himself.

Cultivation for Forest Trees.

The young farmer forester should be
experienced in the art of stimulating
the growth of trees in natural groves
bv cultivation. When we come to think
how hard the ground Is in some woods
it is really strange that trees get
enough moisture to support them
selves. The difference in the amount
of rainfall absorbed by level-plowcd
field and hard-baked hillside is very
great, and it Is wonderful how an oak
or hickory growing on hillside ever
attains to great height and size.

HYMNS AND THEIR AUTHORS
NATIONAL HYMN.
BY Samuel Francis Smith.

1.-THE Rev Samuel Francis Smith, who
was born at Boston, Mass, Oct. Fl, lSoS,
and who died in 1895. was classmate at
Harvard of Oliver Wendell Holmes After
wards graduating from AndoVer ne Ell,
tered the Baptist ministry and served
therein an honorable career, both as pas
tor professor and editor lie Is the
author of several popular hymns, tue peot
of them being on foreign missions put
his claim to fame Will rest on Wnal i"
commonly recognized now as the Amerl-
can National hymn. 1t was Wfltten III
1882. during the authors student lie aC
Andover, and as result OF nnolhs lile
air in German tune book. 1t was Irst
used in public at SUNDAY scll4o rn s~ch
ering on July at the Park Street CnurGh,
Boston. Comparing this hymn win ing
British National anthem we must agree
that DR. Smith succeeded In ms atteii mp
as he put it, to give the ola lulie ' u
ing of American republican patriotism.
MY country! it's of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee l sing;
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the pilgrims pride!
From every mountain sloe
Let freedom ring!
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name | love;
love thy rocks and rills.
Thy woods and tempted Mills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedoms song:
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break
The sound prolong.
Our fathers God, to thee,
Author of liberty,
To thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedoms holy light;
Protect US by thy might,
Great God, our King.

Difference in Types.

The man who has been accustomed
all his life to raising the lard type OF
hog will have his troubles when he
comes to shift over to the bacon breeds.
This has nothing to do with the merits
Of the breeds in question, but the feed
ing habits, the general character and
makeup of the two types are different,
and some time and possibly some ex-
pense is necessary before the ex-
perienced feeder of the one type can
shift over and became a successful
fodder of the other

thinning sheep Effectively.

To rid sheep of external parasites or
the scab mite they should be dipped in
some effective dip. Coal tar dips are
elective nonpoisonOus and do not
ordinarily injure the wool They are
therefore considered among the best.
Before using all dips should be tested.
Nix one teaspoonful of dip with fifty
to seventy-fye Of water, according to
directions Wrap a few ticks or bed
bugs In gauZe and dip them in this
mixture for thirty seconds Then
place them under a tumbler, and if
they are not dead in six hours the dip
s not strong enough. 1t should be
made strong enough to make a thirty
second dip effective. Sheep are to be
kept in the dip one minute. Place the
dip in the tank before the water, so
the mixture will be uniform.
The best time to dip is when tho
wool is One-fourth to one-half inch
long, so that the dip will adhere to
the fleece. If the ticks are present at
shearing time the whole flock should
he dipped at once to prevent the ticks
from getting to the lambs.
