for them, and loved them, and thee have
turned away from Him.
And what is the in
defense? Why,
that the services the temple are more
elaborate and beautiful than they have ever
been before that sacrifices are daily offered,
prayer is hourly uttered, and all, the holy
smells reverently kept. To which God
answers that ritual without righteousness is
abominable in His sight, thac no magnifi-
cence of ecclesiastical architecture, no beauty
of °mato service, no costliness of sacrifice,
can be of any value apart from genuine
obedience to his moral laws. "Wash you,
;mike you clean, put away the evil of your
doings from before Mine eyes. Cease to do
evil, learn to do well." Thus alone cen

righteous God. Do justices to the fatherless,

The hiring of farm help for the season is
OW in order and merits thoughtful atten-
on. The aim should be to secure not only
niustrures and skillful man, but such as
re of good habits, and known to be trust-
orthy. This rare combination of qualities

oo particular as to the moral charaoter of
heaver he employs. The better way is to
ecertain fully as to the habits and mite-
etlents of each man before engaging him,
id hence 111 18 well to commence looking
or help early in the season. Some farmers
ever hire an assistant without an investi-
ation, except in an emergency—such as
eing short handed in harvest—and hence
sually retain help that is competent and
atisfactora. Such 0 course is wise, and
orthy of imitation by all desiring the ser-
inekof men who are alike efficient and

TEAMS AND TOOLS.
Some Odd Notes,
"What makes off' years in fruit bear-
ing" asks a correspoudent of the Vermont
State Journal. "The trees are starved to
death, that's more than half that makes' off
years," be answers.
The French have a system of fattening
fowls that produces poultry superior in
quality to that found, as a rule, in any other
country, There is & praetice of mixing with
the ration certain specs and herbs that give
a most delicious flavor to the flesh. That
highly flavored foods impart some of their
agreeable qualities to flesh is shown in the
case of such of our own game birds as feed
upon wild celery. ,
Many a wonderful cew passes her whole
life without her oNylier kneWing what 55
prize he has, simply because lie has never
tested her capacity. Two cows with the
same amount of feed may give the same
amount of dairy produce, when if you in-
crease the feed, one will respond by an in-
creased produce, while the other will not.
The Otte has reached her limit, while the
other has not, and the careless feeder will
continually be throwing away his feed on a
cow el small natural capaeity. 18 is not
necessary or perhaps profitable to feed con-
tinually to the highest limit of the cow, but
each cow in the herd thoulti be known by
actual test.
An ald very observant farmer once told
me to plant very few potatoeswhen the
seed cost $1 it bushel in the spring ; that
they would be very cheap in the fall. I
have found this to be practically true.
When potatoes are very high-priced in the
spring many get very enthusiastic about
potatoes ; an unusually large area is pre-
pared, and prepared unusually well, and the
plants aro given extra good cultivation ;
the result is that there is a very large orop,
potatoes are very cheap, and the nextstaring
no one wants to raise potatoes at Is uch priees.
Result ; Few planted, it short crop, und high
prices. These fluctuations are scarcely, if
any, less marked in some other crops. We
had an unusually good yield of wheat this
year that promised to "bring is fair price.
The result was that many farmers were anx-
ious to sow an unusually large area of wheat,
and would. have done so had not the drought
prevented. them. This, the chances are, was
really fortunate for if all the breadth de-
sired had been put in wheat, a good yield
would have of course, been equally unprofit-
able, It was well that the drought enforc-
ed conservatism at wheat sowing time.—
[John Stahl in Country Gentleman.
M Girard, a French experimenter, believ-
es that with good cultivation and suitable
manures all soils can be fitted for the culti-
vation of the potato, but he nevertheless
lays eoneiderable stress on the necessity of
taking into a,ecomitthe nitturalfertility. On
the preparation of the soil he sums -up the
question by saying that hi tensive cultivation
of potatoes cannot be followed except by
deep cultivation, and he recommended the
soil to be worked to a depth of 14 inches at
least Onefoot between the plants is given
as about the proper distance along the rows.
Early planting is important.
Good teams and the most epproved imple
nents are essential factors in farming, and
both should be provided before the busy sea -
on opens. No farmer worthy of the name
will begin his spring work with weak, crow -
mit teams or old style, shackly machines.
horefore let working animals be put in
good condition for theheavylabor they will
atm be required to perform, and all farm
eachinery bo prepared for use when wanted,
Naw, also, is the time to purchase or engage
such new tools and implements as may be
ceded. nirmers who give these matters
imely attention will be likely to make pro-
gress in the right direction.
SUORT-STOP STIGGF,STIONS.
Close up the winter's work at the end of
Feburary oe early. in March. "Gather in"
your share of the ice crop. Plan and pre-
pare for plowing and planting. Engage
sober and trusty farm -help. Dot down
data of daily doings. Investigate new modes
of culture. Raise no scrub animals this
year. Look well after the lambs and calves
Use plenty of litter in stables and sheds.
The mother -hen is the best incubator, unless
you know how to run the other kind. "Get
the best" seeds, plants, and trees. Have
you obtained catalogues and selected What
you need? Let amateurs try high-priced
and highly praised novelties. Use no infer-
ior seeds or fertilizers. In purchasing deal
with principals rather than agents. Resolve
to be a reading, thinking, progressive farmer
Get and study good rural text -books. Miss
no meeting where agricultural topics are
discussed. Much rural gospel may be
heard at sessions offarms' clubs and iestit-
des. Don't be a chronla croaker, but work
on cheerfully aha hopefully. Pluck wins
while luck is unreliable.

• The Strange Freak 'of a young Lady.
Shortly before nine o'clock on Friday Melt
Mr. Bridger, of the Great Western Railway
Gloucester (Eng.) received a wire from Mr.
Evav.son, handed in at Shrewsbury, to the
effect that his sister, the young lady who
left her clothing in a railway carriage near
Gloucester, and dressed in a boy's suit was
overea.ken and was safe. After a fruitless
journey to Monmouth on Thera:lay night,
Mr. Evanson, it seems, weut on to Hereford,
where, after inquiries, he discovered that
she had slept there on Wednesday night.
The landlady of the coffee tavern where she
stayed was quite certain as to her identity,
although the young lady was attired in boy's
clothing, which the police have found had
been purchased at Gloucester early on Wed-
nesday afternoon, Miss Evanson remarking
at the time that she required them for
charity. She also visited &local hair -dresser
and ouite astonished the man by demand-
ing that ber hair should be cut short On
being remonstrated with, she replied that
her head was .bad, and that a Reading lady
had.advised her to have her hair out. After
she had' spent the night in Hereford, her
brother ascertained that she had booked to
Shrewsbury, evidently with the idea of
reaching Liverpool. Since a child,it appears,
she has been imbued with the idea of go-
ing to tea, and some years ago she attempt-
ed a similar freakto that which she has just
lambing season. As this time approaches
there should be provided in a separate build-
ing or in one end of the sheep shed a warm,
comfortable room divided into several little
pens four feet square or larger, in each one
of which there ;should be room for one ewe
and her lamb or lambs.
In this apartment the early lambing ewes
should be placed a few days before they
may have quiet surroundings and a warm
reception room for the little newcomers.

four 0110,1,AR:is falls into three divisions :
(1) The id.eal of the kingdom of God, (2) the
hindranees to its fulfillment, and (3) the
sure puuisnment that awaits the hinderers,
The ideal of the kingdom is the abselute

God of Sion, of tho boly eity. of the temple,

Progressive. God changes not but our
ideal of God grows wider and Maher and
truer, as We grow. Isaiah knew more of
Gocl than 'Moses. We know more of God,
ought to know more of God, than Isaiah.
The God of Sion io to rnle some day over
all the nations of the earth. Isaiah looked
forward to that day; Jesus looked forward.
tothat day, and taught us to pray for it.
We are looking toward i t still. John Fiske,
speaking as the prophet of our most )nodern
philosophy closes the pages of his paper on
" The Destiny of Man ' with a look into
the future such as Isaiah dimly had in the
old. time. It is this old chapter translated
over again, with all the wisdom of the ages
brought into it,
"18 shall come to pass in the last
days," says Isaiah, 's that the mountain of
the Lord's house shall be established. in the
top of the mountains and shall be exalted,
above the hills ; and all naeiont shall flow
into it. And many people shall go and
say, come ye and let us go up to the mount-
ain of the Lord, to the house of the God of
ham') ; and he will teeth es of his ways,
and we will walk in his paths ; for out of
Sion shall go forth the law, and the word of
the Lord from. Jerusalem. And He shall
judge among the nations, and shall rebuke
many people ; and they shall beat their
spears into pruning hooks ; nation shallnot
lift up sword against nation, neither shall
they learn war any more,"
"Tho future," says Fiske, "is lighted for
ua with the radiant colors of hope. Strife
and sorrow shall disappear. Peste.e and love
shall reign supreme. The dream of poets,
the lesson of priest and prophet, the inspira-
tion of the great musican, Is confirmed in
the light of modern knowledge; and as we
yield ourselves up to the work of life, we
may look forward to the time when ia the
truest eense the kingdoms of the world shall
become the kingdom of Christ, and. Bethel'
reign forever eaid ever, king of kings, and
lord of lords."
The realization of the 'Fatherhood af Gads
ea Isaiah faintly saw it, as Christ plainly
eaw it, will be the supreme characteristie oz
the ideal kingdom. God is our Father, the
Father of the meanest, the obscurest, the
poorest, even the mese depraved of humeri
kind, and all we are brethren. Even now
we are but beginning to realize the blessed. -
nese, the desirability, the supreme necessity
of that old idea
Isaiah says that that day of the Lord will
come not by force, by conquest, by the
sword, not by insistence upon uniformity
nor by peraeentions for heresy, not by
strikes nor by lnekonts ; uo, by instruction,
by teaching, by the persuasiveness of the
simple truth. •
Isaiah saysthat when the day of the Lord
comes all =brotherliness will slink away
out of its glorious light And he singles
out for illustration that most. =brotherly
of all our inatitutions—war. All disputes
will then be settled, he says, by arbitration.
God will be the Judge; that is, all troubles
will be adjusted by reference to the eternal
laws of God. The military establishments
which exist in the nations of Europe will
be exchanged for industrial conditions ;
swords will be converted into ploughshares.
Nor will there ever be any further instruc-
tions given in the art of war.
The two chief characteristics of the ideal
kingdom, then, are truth and love; truth in
docurine, tor God. will be the teacher; and
love in conduct, for God will be the judge.
Now, in Isaiah's time, what hindered the
coming of this ideal kingdom? The preach-
er, in Ms sermon, gives an abundance of
plain answers. In the second chapter, he
says that the hindrances are the soothsayers
and the worshipers of idols, and the posses-
sors of inordinate riches. In the third
chapter he says that the hindrances are the
elders and the princes who oppressthe poor,
and the aristocratic ladies who think only
of their fine apparel. In the fifth chapter
he describes the hindrances -ander the head
ings of six woes; woe to the great landlords
woe to the luxurious livers, ,woe to open
sinners and sacrificing =believers, woe to
the teachers Of a false morality, who per-
suade people that stealing and lying are all
right when they are carraea on upon a large
scale in business. and that murder is com-
mendable when it is done by a large army in
war, woe to the self-eonceited politicians
who oppose reform, woe to the unjust judges
who oppress the poor.
"0 Lord and. Master, not ours the guilt
We belld but as our fathers built;
Behold thine images, how tboy stand
Sovereign and solo, through 1b our land."
Thee Chriet sought out an. artiean,
A low-browed. stunted, haggard man,
And a motherless girl, whose fingers thin
Pushed from her faintly want and sin.
These set he in the midst of them,
And as they drew back their garment -hem .
For fear of defilement, "Lo, hero," said. He
"The images ye have made of mei"
Nevertheless, there is a promise. Who-
ever turns back to God and seeks to do Him
service, offering to Him the acceptable sac-
rifice of a just, and up; ight, and helpfullife,
trying to serve God, not only in the temple,
but ottt of it also, at home, and in the street,
and through the hours of business, God will
receive and forgive. Yet God knows that
the promise of pardon will not be heeded.
The chapter closes with the prophecy of pun-
ishment. And yet not a universal nor a
final punishment. Some will turn and be
saved.; and after punishment there will be
righteousness.
The next four chapters belong together.
They were probably preached at the close
of the reign of Jetham, or at the beginnieg
of the reign of Alias. These chapters are
all one sermon. And they are different
from most other sermons in the Bible in
that they begin with a text. The text,
which was also used leyIsaiah's contempor-
ary, Micah, is at the beginning of the second
chapter. Nobody knows who wrote it ;
probably. some older prophet than Isaiah or
Micah, now forgotten. It sets forth an
ideal of the kingdom of God.
One day in Jerusalem the man who had
that all from God of winch I spoke lase
week stood up to preach. He was not an
ecclesiastic. He was not a professional in-
structor in religion. He was only a layman,
a young man belonging to one of the pro-
minent families of the city.
That is worth remembering. That the
greatest preacher of the Old Testament was
not a clergyman at all. The idea that all
the preaching ought to be left to the par-
sons, is one of the most mistaken ideas in
the world, Every layman, according to
his ability, ought to speak every chance he
has for the cause of righteousness. The
two religious societies width have made the
most remarkable progress in the course of
recent history are the Methodist Church
and the Salvation Army, and in both of
these ehasis is laid on the importance Of
lay preaching. ,
This young layman stood up, somewhere
in the city, in a court of the temple, in the
Market, or on the curbstone of some crowd-
ed street and recited his text. And at once,
as he uttered the words, his eyes fell upon
the people who were hindering the fulfill-
ment of God's; ideal for his people. Some
were soothsayere, dealers ih magic, devotees
of false and degrading religions ; some were
rich people, riding by in handsome car-
rie.gei, decked out with gold and silver and
all manner of luxurious adornment. At
once the preacher flames out against them.
On account of such As these the church and
That is, the root of all real hindrance to
the coining of theideal kingdom was the
love of money, which even yet is not ex-
tinct.
Then follows the declaration of punish-
ment. Isaiah says two things about this
absolutely certain punishment It is a can
sequence- Really, we punish ourselves.
We set in motion the great inevitable laws
which visit our transgressions on our own
heads. Sin is a cause which always has
punishment for a consequence. There is no
escape from punishment. And punishment
Is remedial. God has set this consequence
with this cams°, not in anger, but in mercy,
for our good. All punishment in this world,
and in the world to come must be remedial.
Or else, God is not as good as we are.
-Finally, it is worth noticing that in all
these utteranaes of Isaiah, he addresses not
the individual but the n Won. We need a
great increase of national religion. We
need a great increase of national religion.
We nee -d to bring the Creed, the- Lord's
Prayer, and the Ten Commandments into
our national politics. We need to learn
that whi
atever s wrong for an individual is
Wrong also for a nation.
