Swine.
The Berkshires and poland Chinas
are, probably, two as good breeds of swine
as exist, yet there are many men who like
other breeds better. Indeed, it is not pos.
sible to nit everybody with one or two
breeds of any live stook. If you ask a
farmer what objection he has to this or
that breed of hogs, be may not be able to
give any other reason, only "I don't like
'em." Twenty-five years ago the great
objection to Berkshires was, "they are all
hams and shoulders, with too little rib
pork," -but now this breed is selling at
enormous prices, $25 a pair for pigs six
weeks old, and we hear nothing in regard
to the "all ham" objection. But it is
certain that they fatten easily, and come
to maturity early, and they often weigh
quite enough to satisfy most fihmers. A
&mei who breeds them says: "I killed
a two-year-old Berkshire last week that
weighed 505 pounds, and 150 pounds of
lard. They sometimes run up to 600
pounds, if highly bred." Another farmer
gives his reasons for preferring the Berk
shires to Poland Chinas as follows : "The
difference between the two breeds in re
speot to early maturity is perhaps from
three to six months, that is, a Berkshire
at one year old has arrived at as great a
state of maturity as a Poland China at
15 to 18 months. A certain stage of ma
turity is necessary before an animal will
fatten to the best advantage and make the
best quality of meat of which the breed is
capable. As we think it most profitable
to turn off our hogs at from nine to
thirteen months, and as the Berkshires
at this age are matured enough to feed well
and make a prime article of pork, and the
Poland Chinas are not, it furnishes a good
reason for oar preference.
It Pays to Know How.
When a farmer has a good farm, and
fails to make a good living from it without
running in debt, the cause must be that
be dosen't know bow to manage a farm.
I annei an illustration from an agricul
tural paper : "One man sows a crop of
beets. He doesn't know much about rais
ing them, but he thinks he will try it.
He gets barely enough to pay for his labor,
and concludes that it dosen't pay to raise
beets. Another man knows all about rais
ing them. He has not himself tried every
variety, nor every kind of manure and
culture, but he knows what others have
done, and how they have succeeded best.
He adds their experience to his own, and
selects the best seed, sows it at the proper
season, the right distance apart, and covers
it the proper depth in soil manured and
prepared in the best manner. He does
not stop here. He begins early to culti
vate, weed thoroughly, hoes often—and
harvests seventy tons to the acre. Does
this pay for knowing how and doing his
work in the best manner ? The man who
sows onions without learning the best way,
gets the wrong seed, puts it in ground
that is not suitable for it, sows it at the
wrong season, doesn't sow it thick enough
because the seed cost too much,doesn't sow
it evenly because he cannot afford to buy
a seed drill, covers it unevenly and his
crop is a failure. The man who has
taken the trouble to find out how to raise
onions, and what kind to saw, raises one
thousand bushels per acre. So it pays in
farming to know what to do and how to do
it, and to make the best use of the experi
ence of others. And what is true of
onions or beets, is true in a greeter or less
degree, of all other kinds of farm produce."
Ground Grain.
The Western Farm Journal can scarcely
be in earnest when it expresses the opinion
that neither cooked nor ground grain pro
motes growth or increases flesh in animals
oommensurate with the expense of grind
ing ; it also claims that there are many
cases in which the feeding of whole grain
has given as great a gain as when meal has
been used; certainly such a doctrine will
not do in Pennsylvania, even with an lowa
indorsement. The nutriment of the grain
is inclosed in minute seeks of partially in
digestible matter. When the grain is fed
whole many of these escape the action of
the teeth and gastrin juice and are lost.
The effect of grinding is to rupture these
and render theircontents available. Steam
or heat will make sure all which may have
escaped the action of the mill stones and
economize the whole. Theoretically, each
of these operations is entitled to a certain
amount of credit for the work which it
performs, and in the final account must be
compared with the cost. If the latter
exceeds the benefit., a proper and natural
observer of economic rules will lead to the
abandonment of either cooking or grind
ing or both. After fair experiment, we
are ready to give up the former, but not
the latter. So long as the grain can be
ground for one-tenth of its value, the bal
ance is certainly on the miller's side, and
we think no practical farmer will oppose
the theory that eight bushels properly
ground is as valuable as ten fed whole.
IN ENGLAND they are adopting a horse
shoe made of cowhide, and known as the
Yates shoe. It is composed of three
thickness of cowhide compressed into a
steel mould, and then subjected to chemi
'cal preparation. It is claimed for it that
it lasts longer and weighs only one-fourth
as much as the common iron shoe; that it
will never cause the hoof to split, nor have
the least injurious influence upon the foot.
It requires no calks ; even on asphalt the
the horse never slips. The shoe is 7o
elastic that the horse's step is lighter and
surer. It adheres 53 closely to the foot
that neither dust nor water can penetrate
between the shoe and the hoof.
STATISTICS dhow that the American
people eat more butter than bread—at
least the value of the butter annually con
sumed is greater than the yearly supply of
wheat. So says an able writer upon the
subject.
WITHIN fifty years the number of vari
eties of tomatoes has increased from three
lrounb Ifirts6t.
All Works for Good.
"And we know that all Ming,' work together for
good to them that love God."—Rom. vltt. 29.
All things, dear Lord! Is there no thread of woe
Too dark ; too tangled, for the bright design ?
No drop of rain too heavy for the how
Set in the cloud in convenant divine!
I know that all Thy full designs are bright;
The darkest threads grow golden in Thy hand ;
That bending lines grow straight—the tangled
right—
The bitter drops all sweet at Thy command
Command the Eweetnoss ! Make the crooked
straight;
And turn these dusky tangled threads of gold'
Swifter, dear Lord ! I cannot longer wait ;
Faith hath grown weary—longing to behold.
I know the promise; but I crave the eight;
I yearn to see the beautiful design ;
To hail the rose-tints of the morning light;
To watch the straightening of the bended line.
Why these enigmas ? Wherefore not receive
. . .
Their bright solution? Then a voice drew near:
"Blessed are they who see not, yet believe !"
And One I knew approached, and wiped my tear.
With wounded hand, and sighed. Ah ! then I fell
Down on my knees, and held Him by the feet,
My Lord ! my God ! All, all is well !
With Thee, the dark is light, the bitter sweet
Power of Habit.
Rev. N. L. Brakeman, of Frankfort
Lod., is delivering a caurse of lectures to
the young people of his congregation on
"The harmony between the Bible truth
and human experience." One lecture (on
the harmony of these two great teachers
as to the formation, growth, and power of
habit) closes in these words :
Of what we have said on the subject,
this is the sum :
Little acts, carelessly done at first, are
repeated until they run into custom; cus
tom forms a habit; habits crystalize into
character, and character makes immortal
destiny. So that habits may yet. bind the
soul in chains of eternal fate.
A flake of snow i 3 a light and little
thing, but flak 36 make the avalanche which
shakes the mountain is its fall, overwhelms
the city and floods the vailey. That spark
from the electric wheel is a little thing;
but it is electricity that leaps, in the light
ning's volt, from the storm cloud, shatters
the giant oak of the forest, and makes the
earth tremble to the pulsations of its power.
That fantastic spray of frost upon the
window pane is a small thing, but it is
frost that makes the great icebergs, float
ing in the Northern seas, and grinding to
atoms the strongest ships caught between
their ponderous bodies. Sands form the
globe; drops fill the vast ocean's bed; and
stars form the innumerable shining hosts
that crowd infinite space. Learn well the
lesson which flakes and sparks, and sands,
and drops, and stars would teach. Take
care of the littles, and guard well the be
ginnings of thoughts, desires, and deeds.
A little, careless habit, may end in a wast
ed fortune, a blighted name, a wrecked
soul, a ruined life, and a wretched immor
tality. Every habit is the representative
of almost infinite power for weal or woe;
for time and for eternity.
Thus have we traced the power of habit,
and seen in it a law of sin and the soul ;
of character of life; of time and eternity.
So does sin iuslave the soul. So helpless
is man when bound by the cords of iniqui
ty. And so do eternal consciousness, per
sonal experience, and human history har
monize and demonstrate the truth of th e
Bible teaching on the subject. I close
with these lines of the poet :
Habit, at first, is but a silken thread.
Fine as the light-winged gossamers that sway
In the warm sunbeam of a summer's day 4;
. . . . .
A shallow streanalet rippling o'er its bed;
A tiny sapling e'er its roots are spread;
A yet unhardened thorn upon the spray ;
A lion's whelp that bath not seer,ted prey;
A little smiling child obedient led.
Beware !
That thread may bind thee as a chain;
That etreamlet, gather to a fatal sea ;
That sapling, spread into a gnarled tree ;
That thorn, grown hard, may wound and give thee
pain;
That whelp, his murderous fangs reveal;
That child, a giant grown, may crush thee 'neath
his heel."
Religious Duties.
Many persons have an idea that they are
free from religious duties until they agree
to be bound by them. They think that
attendance upon worship, the support of
the Church, the avoidance of unprofitable
amusements, and the maintenance of high
Christian character may be binding upon
the acknowledged Christian, but they do
not apply to the irreligious man—especially
the avowed skeptic. But moral obligation
is not created by contract, nor does it de
pend upon belief. It requires no contract
to bring a man within the range of God's
physical laws. Disregard of the laws of
health is punished, irrespective of the ig
norance or disbelief of him who disregards
them. Strychnine would kill, eve though
the victim did not believe in the power of
poison or the fact of death ; and so of the
moral laws ; it requires no contract to
bring man under their authority. By the
very nature of his being he is under
their authority. There can be no eva
sion of the laws by which God carries
on his moral government. They must
be obeyed or disobeyed. Among these
laws are the duties pertaining to the
Church of Christ That Church is a
most important part of that moral govern_
meat. Indeed, it is, on earth, the very
embodiment of that moral government. It
is the duty of every one to whom that
Church is presented, to enter it, sustain it
and to be conformed in conduct and char
acter to its teachings. Each one of these
duties is binding ; and the non-performance
of the first—that of entering the Church
—by no means lessens the obligations of
the others, nor does disregard of all either
change their nature or diminish their
force. The Divine law, which lays these
duties upon every one, is an eternal fact;
and neither its existence nor its power is
in any way affected by man's belief con
cerning it.

Thorns.
The highwa3s of life are thickly set
with thorns. Everywhere do they spring
up—from numberless directions do they
obtrude to trouble and wound us. The
name of their hiding place is legion. An
old, long disused garment—a day and fad
ed flower pressed and laid away—a look or
tone recalling bygones—a sunset hour—a
familiar scene of nature may each awake
thorny memories, to pierce us in some
silent hour of retrospect. The thorns
which oftenest wound, and with sharpest
sting, are those we ourselves plant along
the wayside of our pilgrimage—thorns we
plant in carelessness, in selfishness, in
pride and in passion. And we come in
short and painful contact with them, per
chance, in long years afterward.
