Corn and water in the crude state will


::.'t make hogs out of pigs-but runts
Corn is infiammatory, and in crude form
promotes very little growth, each pound

times its value. Better sell your corr

necessary, for the same material can be
manipulated so as to make pork.raisins
profitable at two cents pound.


The secret is in feeding essence of corn
and no crude corn. Ispeak of the treat
mept of hogs during the growing period
and finish for market being different
process. Get one, three, or five sugar
hogsheads, according to the size of your
herd remove the inside hoop that holds
the battom, caulk we'll with oakum
around the bottom, replace the hoop.
and bury side by side in the ground three
feet or more, near well or spring where
there will be plenty of water, and hinge
lid to each one. If in
one h og pasture, fence around,
or you will lose hogs by getting an over
dose, as our experience will fully verify.
Have large troughs, made Of two>inch
plank, placed contiguous, grind your
corn fine, and put in each hogshead four
to six bushels, and quart of salt. This
may make you sick, but wait. Fill up
with water, stir occasionally for two or
three days, and when fermentation has
fully set in--say two or three
days--begin to feed. 1t is always ready
afterwards, for there is yeast in the bot
tom. Feed and fill up with water
at once, always keeping them full;
repeating twice each day, until the ho-
meopatchic dilution reminds you that
further progress in that direction might
be cruelty to animals, then throw in a
sack OF feed and proceed as before. Those
who havenot tried the plan will be as
tonished to what attenuation corn can
be thus reduced, and what results can
be wrought. -.s.ss.


We have seven hogshead running IN
this way and have demonstrated the fact
that 200 pound porker can be kept
growing by this process on cost of one
cent day. Each hog will drink from
three to five gallons at feed, distend
lay down, grunt and grow For the
young pigs trough should Ee shut off
from the herd, and their food made
richer. They need distension as do
hogs, and will acquire the alternating
largely. Into these tubs can be thrown
the refuse from the kitchen and dairy,
thereby increasing the good results.
Wheat, rye, barley, millet, broom, corn,
seed, etc, can be ground and utilized in
the same manner. ann aware that slop
for hogs !s no new thing, and that the
farmer of the east uses his bran and
shorts in that way, but what we now
aim at, is how to convert the corn and
surplus grain of the farm into pork with
the greatest profit, applicable alike to a
small or large business. The reader will
understand that where hogs have no
range cr grass, the slop must be fed three
times day, and be OF increased strength.
In districts where there are no facilities

Who may engage in this work Of turning
men to righteousness Is it the exclusive
privilege of official men in the church, or
have others a warrant TO enter this service
In Proverbs XII 30, it is written, " He that
winneth souls is wise" In the Sermon on
the Mount the Lord said TO his disciples,
4" Let your light so shine before men that
they may see your good works and glorify
your Father which is in heaven" In the
eighth chapter of Acts we are told that
there was "a great persecution against the
church which was at Jerusalem, and they
were all scattered abroad, except the apostles,
and went everywhere preaching the word"
To the Philippians Paul thus testified, " Ye
shine as lights in the world, holding forth
the word of life" lie also entreated them
ito help the women which labored with
him in the gospel" James says, Brethren,
ii any of you do err from the truth and one
convert him, let him know that he that con
verteth sinner from the error of his way
shall save a soul from death and shall hide
| multitude of sins" In addition TO all this
we have those emphatic words contained in
that stirring message from our risen and
glorifed Lord, contained in the closing
chapter of the Apocalypse, AND LET HIM
THAT HEARETH SAY COME" Yes every
soul that hears the gospel has warrant to

There is something peculiarly dignifed
and gentle in the experience of aged believ-
ers whose serene piety and mellowed charac-
ters develop the child-spirit of the genuine
disciple. We see the last tints glowing on
the golden grain the shock of corn coming
in his season, when it is fully ripe. How
beautiful is that single memorial in the
Acts of the Apostles And Mnason, an
old disciple" That is all we know of him,
but that is enough to let us see " the crown
of glory" siIvering his noble head. There
1t Will stand as long as the world lasts, a
monumental inscription more enduring than
brass. Second childhood" in the common
meaning of the words, indicates the painful
lapse of age into childikeuess. But there
is a " second childhood which is the beau
tiful childlikeness Of the hoary head when it
is "found in the way of righteousness"
Then it becomes a "crown of glory" 1t is
not merely growing old gracefully" but
growing old graciously, which makes the
beauty of reverend age. Not seldom we may
see the gradual mellowing of character, like
the ripening of golden grain in the waving
harvest field. 1t bends and sways before
the breeze as readily as when it was still
green but its waves are tinted with sunset
hues, and every day makes it more ready for
the sickle. Infrmities of the flesh scarcely
touch the spiritual past, and even amid the
weakening of both mind and body the refin-
ing process goes on silently, but with in
creasing power; unconsciously, perhaps, to
all around. Sometimes old age is peevish,
fretful, cross and morose, but where grace is
working, it as often loses its asperity and
softens into serene and happy contentment.
And then, when sickness brings the latter
day visions of eternal things close to view,
how gently does the Lord our Shepherd lead
down into the valley and beside the still
waters for his own names sake Surely,
the old age of such believers is more than
venerable. 1t is apostolic, sanity, Christ
like.-Christian InteRigencer.

standing collars, was particularly trying TO
a man who felt a good deal of pride in the
dressing of his neck, as it spoiled the effect
of his cravat, and often left gap for the
display of either the collar band of the shirt
or a haf-inch of bare skin. While talking
with n practical shirtmaker, one day. he
mentioned his annoyance, and inquired if
there was any means of relieving it. Yes
answered the man, the fault lies with your
laundress. While doing up your collars she
stretches them the wrong way. Damp linen
is very pliable, and good pull will alter a
fourteen-inch into fifteen-inch collar in the
twinklng of an eye. She ought to stretch
them crosswise, and not lengthwise. Then in
Strengthening out your shirt bosom she makes
another mistake of the same sort. They,
also, ought to be pulled crosswise instead Of
lengthwise, particularly in the neighborhood
of the neck. A lengthwise pull draws the
front of the neckband up somewhere di-
rectly under your chin, where it was never
meant to go, and of course that spoils the
set of your collar. With the front of your
neckband an inch too high, and your collar
an inch too long, you have a most undesira-
ble combination "The speaker was right.
As soon as my husband ordered the neces-
sary changes to be made in the methods of
our laundry, wonderful difference man
ifested itself in the appearance of that most
important part of his clad anatomy, the

hint to other distressed women"

And why, may we not ask, does God per-
init the socialists and infidels of Europe to
invade our land as locusts and hornets, de-
stroying all that we deem sacred ? The
answer is easy. All these things have been
too lightly esteemed by us, and now we who
have been sowing to the wind must get
ready for the reaping of the whirlwind. God
allows the evils to grow and mature which
Christians have disregarded. What ade-
quate influence have we been exercising to
educate the ignorant and reform the vicious,
the dangerous classes of our cities and vii
lagos And can we then wonder that bad
has steadily been growing worse when we
were doing nothing to make it better Z
There is power in the gospel to meet and
master every device of bad men, if only Gods
people have faith to take hold of Gods
strength, which abides in the gospel always
ready for action when prayer and faith call
it into exercise. No husbandry like spir-
itual husbandry for the certainty and large
ness of its products And no field becomes
so soon and so hopelessly bad as the spirit
ual field when neglected and given up to the
tares which the enemy sows when men sleep.
If we neglect the bad at home, they will be-
come the instruments whereby God will
punish our sin. If we neglect the heather,
they too will be made Gods avengers.
Hordes from the East may come down ere
long upon Europe not only, but landing on
our Western coast may sweep over our land
as the Northern hordes in former ages swept
over Christian Europe The neglected classes
at home and abroad are TO be the scourges
of God, by whom our unbelief, apathy, and
seishness will be severely punished.-Chris

In few instances, equally rare and beauti-
full, the development of our nature is SO
healthy that the soul, almost from the first,
asserts its rightful supremacy This is
sometimes the result of pure Christian in
fuences, the wise training of parents, the ex-
ample of good and pious teachers, which
may be called the human agency by which
the Divine Spirit is working. Sometimes,
even when surrounded by the worst inhu-
ences of sin, in the dens of iniquity, or in
the high places of worldliness the child is
seen TO grow up with almost stainless purity,
through some mysterious guiding of which
it is not conscious, but which leads heaven
ward, as by an angels hand. In such cases
there seems never to be a struggle between
the flesh and the spirit. The soul grows up
to the heavenly life, almost as the seed grows
up to its appointed beauty, Yet believe
that, even in such cases. if we could under
stand the full working of the soul, we should
find here, as elsewhere, what is called the
new birth, which is passing from the earthly
or natural state to the spiritual or heavenly
1t may take place very early and very grad
ually, but think that it is not the less real
The life of the spirit is not that TO which we
are first born, but the life of the flesh The
second man, and not the first, is the Lord
from heaven. When Christ is formed in the
soul 1t is the redemption of the soul from
