A SUBSTITUTE FOR HA.Y,
rrom preeent indieations the bay crop
is likely to be comparatively light, tak-
ing the eountry over, and as a conse-
quence, many farniere will likely be
looklug for a ,substitute for fodder, For
this, Andrew Rose, Superintendent of
the University Farm, at $t. Paul, Minn,
reeotamends the use of field corn SOWn
in drilla from 3i1 to 44 ludo apart, and
sowing 30 to 40 pounds of 'seed per acre.
It may be planted as iate as July 1St,
and a good erop of fodder •obtained un-
der au -aside moisture conditioun, Earlier
planting is preferred, but the actual
yield of the hay erop le not always
known until quite late. The two crops
are vet'y nearly alike In digestible con-
stituente, the hay being a trifle richer;
but what the corn lacks in composition
isanore than miule up in the added suc-
culency which it gives the ration, and
the lucrease in yield per acre over that
of hay gives it a decided advantage! On
farm where hay is scarce, this method

GREEN wiNultnca.
Four of the advantages of green, ma -
tuning given by prof. Marshall, of Col
-
tirade Agrieulturel College, are"
Inereases soil fertility by the large
amount of organic matter added,
2. Increases the water -holding capac-
ity of the soil. ,
3. Utilize soluble plant food that
would otherwise escape from the soil.
4, Brings plant food from the lower
011 to the surface.
These advantages are all very im-
portant, and elmuld be impreeseel ou the
minds of all agriculturists. It is one
of the easiest, muokest and most eine!,
eut methods of keeping up s,nd increas-
the produetivenees of the soil it should
however, be practiced in moderatien, as
it is possible that. the soil might be in-
jured if an excess of green orgenie mat-
ter wee ineorporated In it. This ex-
cess might cause a slight aticlity in the
soil which would be detrimental to plant
growth, but, if applied in reasonable
quantity, it ie one of the best methods
of adding home to the soil.

GUERNSEY OBARACTERISTIOS,
1Ihe characteristics of Guernsey cat-
tle are distinetive, and. should be dis-
tinguished from those of the Jenseys,
whieh they somewhat resemble. We
quote the authorized scale of points as
adopted by the English Guernsey Cat-
tle Society:
1, Head fine and, long; muzzle expand-
er; eyes large, with gentle expression;
forehead broed; horns curved, not
coarse.
2. Long Milk nick, clean throat,
chine fine.
3, Beek level to setting -on of tail,
broad and. level across loins; thighs
thin and long; tail fine and long, goOd
switch.
4. Ribs amply spreing and wide apart,
barrel large and deep.
B. Hide mellow and flexible, close-
ly covered with fine hair; cream -colored
nose.
6. Escutcheon wide on thighs, high
and broad, with thigh ovals.
7hMk veins prominent, long and
tortuous, with large, deep fountains;
lulder full in front, full and well up be-
hind, of large size and capacity; teats
well apart, squarely placed, and of good
size; skin yellow in ear and end of tail,
at base of horns, on udder, and body
generally; hoofs amber -colored„
HORSES.
Old rains are hard on the working
horse, and he is better kept in the
stableetai:ae sueli weather.
A short holiday on pasture is a
good thing for the farm driving horse.
.Pull off his shoes and let him run for
a few weeks, and his • feet, as well as
his general health, will be greatly bene-
fited.
• Wheee wide binders aye uted, 'a
tongue truck takes a greht amount of
the weight off the home's melts, thus
decreasing the tendeney to sore necks.
Too large collars are' a very prevalent
cause of sore shoulders and during the
summer the horse usually falls off in
, flesh, and it is well to see that this has
not left the collar too lane.
Do not turn the horse away to pasture
after a hard day's work in the hot sun
without first giving him a good clean-
ing. Cleaning the horse after the day's
work always is a saving on feed, and
goes agreat way towards keeping the
i
hothe n good eondition and his coat
sleek.
The overtired horse or a horse that
is in an overheated condition shouldnot
be turned but on pasture while in such
a state, as there is danger of acute in-
digestion, eaused by the stomach of the
horse not being able to digest the large
amount of gra.se eaten.
Nothing is more relished by the hard -
worked horse than to be allowed out
oo fresh pasture. True, it make,' the

PLYMOUTH ROCK.

day and others landed on another.

adoration, so December 22 and. Ply,

The Rock is preteded by a stone
canopy which may be inferior archi-
tecturally to many other monuments,
but is massive enough to have a cer-
tain dignity. As a landing place is
on the water and commerce is carried
on by water there are piers near the
Rock to whiali schooners
are tied and on whieh eordid cont.
merce is carried on and there are
even coal sheds in the near vicinity.
The Pilgrim Fathers, by and by,
would have been grateful for the coal
had it been there in 1620.
But The New York Sun, which rare-
ly betrays evidences of sentimentality,
has been stirred • up to belabor Ply-
mouth and Massachusetts and Amer-
ica in general for neglecting a spot
of incomparable historic interest. We
welcome this evidence of something
besides cynicism and satire in the
brilliant sun, but we cannot forget
that the person who inflamed it on
this subject did so by describing his
visit to the Rock in company with
Iwo European, friends, one an Eng-
lishman and one a Continental and
they overwhelmed him with mortal,
cation by telling him what beauty and
sanctity would. endow Plymouth Rock
if it wer only in their countries.
Now it happens that their countries
are even richer in historic monuments
or spots than ours, and not nearly all
of them are splendidly marked or
sacredly preserved. Mr. Howells has

The Archdeacon of Leicester deelered

offensive to brides.
tither clerice said that when officiat-

to eut out these partieutar words and

was agreed that the eletiee reciting that
neerriage "is not by any to be enter-
prise(' or taken in timid lightly" should
be altered to read, "marriage 1 not by
any to be taken iit hand unadvisedly,
lightly, but advisedly, soberly and in
fear of God, daly coniedering the chief
causes for which matrlmony Is ordain-
ed."
The members also Agreed that the
paseage stating that marriage "was or-
dathed for the prodeation of mankind,'
should run "for the increase of man-
kind." It was then proposed to omit
the passage in the exhortation which
gives the second reason for whieh mar-

Criminals

It you want to know the criminal
front the inside you roost go to the ar-
tists who have the supreme gifts of in-
eight- and imagination, who can put
themselves into other men's -skins and
are psychologists by inspiration and in-
tuition rather than by study. There is
Zola, with his "Bete Humaine;" Gorki,
with his "In the Deptlis''m Bourget, with
his "Andre Cornelis;" Steveneon, with
his 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde;" Dos-
toieffsky, with his :Pictures from the
Dead House."' Eugene Sue and Edger
l'oe are not so valuable, becatige they
are more interested in the - crime than
in the criminal. It 1 the mystery end
horror of the crime whieh canes the
thrill to the reader; the actors are lay
figures, pegs en whieh the ghastly.series
of events may be hung. But. supreme
among all 1 a great dramatist like
Shakespeare, who gives us ai in a pic-
ture the whole tangled. skein of motives
which a.et oiLa man and explains the
tomplleated and intrieate threads oh

this way, and no other, given his' eharac-

teach us criminal psychology, itt Shake-
speare.
Shakespeare has a long list of crimh
nit's, and Auguat Goll only selects one
at two typical instances which serve hie
particular purpose. Thus, beginning with
a man like Brutus, who attempts to
subvert society with the most admir-
able motives in the world, he passes on
to Macbeth, Lady 'Macbeth and Richard
III., and ends with the man or the fiend
Iago, whose malignity is almost motive-

With milk and honey blest!
Beneath thy contempation
Sink heart and YO ee opprest.
I know not, alit I know net
What joya await me there;
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyondcompare
They stand, those halls of Zion,
All 'anent with song,
And bright with many an angel,
And all the martyr throng.
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight ever bright;
The pastures of the blessed
Are deeked in glorious light;
There is the throne of David;
And there from care released,
The shout of them that triumph,
The song of them that feast;
A.nd they wixo with their Leader
Ifave conquered in the light,
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.

The home of God's elect!
0 sweet and blessed country,
That eager hearts expect!

To that deal land of rest;
Who art, with God the Father
And Spirit, ever blest.

FOLLOWING CHRIST.
To follow Christ does not necessar.
ily involve any.thing new or unwonted;
to be perteet Ilira does not always
need . change. To "abide in the same
calling wherein we are called?" to strive
each day to do the wonted service more
perfectly; to infuse and maintain in
every detail a purer motive; to reeetor
each impulse, and bring each thought
under it holier discipline; to be blame-
less in word; to sacrifice self, as a
habitual law, in each sudden call to ac-
tion; to take more and more secretly
the lowest place; to move amid con-
stant distractions, and above "them un.
aisturbedly; to be content to do noth-
ing that attracts notice, but to do it al-
ways for the greater glory of God; to
let each day pass seemingly all though
it were lost, bearing. no manifest fruit,
nothing eventful, only the monotony of
the "trivial round.;" to be ever grow-
ing in watchfulness and care, faithfully
bearing the secret unknown burden of
thia undisguised destiny, drawing everz
impulse and 'wish more and more into
union with the unseen, but ever-present
Goda--sueh it course of necessity is the
general lot, and as the preparation of

every one the sure hope of final peace.
LOST AND FOUND..
Where is the love that lost its heat,
Its beauty and its bloom?
The march that ended in defeat,
And brought a dismal gloom?
The snow came down in silent might,
And frozen grief laid bow,
The fibres and fumes of the gentle heart
And tired feet went slow.
13ut look into the lily's mout.h,
Hark to the golden tongue,'
The balmy breath of the sunny tioutit
Unseals love's laden song.' .
Dark and dank is the lonely hour,
Love never turns to dust,
The perfume of the heart's sweet flower
Evokes immortal trust.
