"AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST."
I31 N. E.
, Rest ! Oh, how the words do linger ,
On my ear. ,
Labor—yes, life seems all a toil,
Hard battle, strife and sad turmoil,
Pain,wearinese, disappointment,. sorrow
Is to -day, and what will be tomorrow ?
I do not know—
Nor do I care, since there is
Rest.
Rest ! And is it truly possible
That there can be,
'Mid all these scenes of storm, a calm,
A quiet, inmost rest, a balm ,
That heals, and soothes and quiets
every fear;
PI Yes, I have found there is; 'tis very dear,
'Tis found in Christ.
'Tis He says, "Come, I'll give you
Rest."
Rest. And who is Jesus? He is
Omnipotence; '
The great I Am, the. very God
Himself ; He shake the gracious word
Of promised rest. He cannot lie.
Should I remain away Irot:n•Him, I'll
• 'Twill tend to death, [die,
To do without this joy, this peace,
This rest,
•
Rest. Well, I'll come to him and trust
That precious word ;
I'm sure, since He all powerful is,
And true, that all these -promises
Are mine, if I can but believe,
For this I know, if I receive
What Jesus gives,
I have just \\•hat I mostl:• need --
Sweet rest, •

MEMORIE.S OF IIOME.
Evening shadows gather round me,
Softly steals the close of day ;
And I wander by the sea shore,
Badly dreaming hours away.
Placid waters ! stretching ,Westward,
Westward to the setting sun ;
Did thy wavelets ripple Eastward, .
Then with thee my thoughts might
run.
For, beyond the mountains lofty,
Far across the verdant plain,
Was the "home"where mcm'rics cluster,
Mingling pleasures oft with pain. .
IIere the vale, and there the hillside,
IIere the cornfields, there the wood,
•Risen from buried recollections,
How long years ago each stood.
And the time when "home" was broken,
(Dark the pages as I turn)
When leer "lamp" of life burned dimly,
Flickered, and then ceased to burn.
Mother! home! are these forgotten?
Ah t the rooms in which she moved,
Let my hand forgetibts cunning,
Rather than the 'thing she loved.
No ! the grave is not forgotten, .
Nor the clay that rests beneath,
Nor the smile so full of sunshine,
Nor the voice now hushed in death.
Nor ttie counsels kindly spoken, '
Oft repeated even now:
" Do thy part in life's work nobly,"
Live in the eternal now."
Unforeseen this separation,
Unforeseen this blight of love,
But methinks I see them weaving
A. reunion up above.
"So while lwre the cross we're bearing,
Breasting storms and billows wild,"
She (though bliss with Christ enjoying)
Waits for each home•l:nming child.
WELL -KEPT FARM TEAMS.
Tho motive power on the farm
is now in demand. It is easy to
select those horses that have been
well cared for through the winter,
as far as they can be seen at work
in the field. The well -kepi team
will move with such apparent case
with a plow that you would hardly
know they were at work. The
spring work generally comes with
a rush, and there is no time to be
wasted with inefficient teams.
Tho coming crops depend largely
upon the capacity sof the farm
teams. Who has not known
cases where the losses on late and
badly put -in crops have been
moro than the value of a good
team? And all this has come
from tho short-sighted and perni-
cious effort to save a little on the
keeping of the farm horses over
winter. This kind of economy
can only properly bo described as
"penny wise and pound foolish."
A groat number of teams that we
see coming with produce to tbo
market, if appearances toll any-
thing, aro only in a frail condition
to go through a hard spring's
work. Tho losses every year
caused by ineffieient teams would
aggregate millions, and the matter
thus becomes an important subject
for discussion and reform. Too
many farmers .and
the best part
of their grain and the best part of
hay., and feed their horses on oat
straw and poor hay, and probably
work them hard all winter draw-
ing cordwood, with poor feed and
exposure. All farmers should
long since have learned that both
horse and man get their strength
endurance from what they oat,and
that without good food . neither
can work well. Teams should bo
uniformly well fed instead of
being well -fed at certain peri-
ods and then • half-starved at
other times: A team cannot be
profitable that is worked only
three months in the year. It
should 'always be in condition for
service and kept regularly at work
whether it is hauling cordwood or
anything else. There should be a
radical reform in this matter of
the farm team, and the general
custom is to work the teams only
in the busy seasons of the year—
seed time and harvest. At other
times they. are mostly ,idle except
in going errands. And in order
to have the keeping cost as little
as possible, the horses are fed so
sparingly that they are .not in
prime condition•for work at any
portion of the year, so that much
moro time is taken to do the work
in consequence. Now, it is well
known that a team well kept must
work half its time barely to pay
its keeping, and if it.stafds in the
stable, or runs at pasture the other
half the time, it is kept at the ex-
p0flse of a ruinous loss. And on
small farms' this loess is most
severely fort, .for it -takes iso• large
a proportion of The crop of a small
farm to feed the farm team, and
when this team is kept in com-
parative idleness tor more than
half the year, it makes a serious
encroachment t'n the family sup-
port. No team should be -kept
that does not stave profitable work
at least three-fi)urths of the year.
It is not only bad fir the owner
but bud for the team to remain
idle so much of the time.. The
team should be generously fed and
steadily worked and it. will be-
come a source of profit instead of
loss as is often the e'•t e \tri i1, our
fitymers.
SPRING i'I,;1N T iN(;•
Get ;vi mug, pct„ to
plant.
S•ce that the roots arc :,bindant
and fibrous. •
See that there .are nn scale lice
on the bark.
The roots of the trees must not
get dry before planting.
Do not plant too deep, hardly
as deep as the trees stood in the
n ursery.
Take your fingers and a light
rammer, and poke and punch the
dirt under the roots, so there will
be no space under the trees unoc-
cupied with soil.
Tramp fine, mellow, dry soap
hard upon the roots at planting.
Trim off two thirds of the tops
of the trees, forming a symmetri.
cal heats, or, if the roots aro not
abundant, cut off all the top of the
tree, letting a new head form.
Keep the tree rows cultivated
and hoed just as you do your hills
of corn. Do this the first summer,
and until the trees are 10 years old.
After that a clover sod will do.
Open the center of the tree hard
by cutting out interior' branches,
so that it will be shaped like a
goblet. Thus the sun will get in
to all the fruit.
Wash the trunk of the trees
with soapsuds twice in tho sum—
mer, and watch that no insects of
any kind prey upon tho vitality
of tho twee, either below or above
ground.
And so if your (n'chli•d be nut a
final success write and let me
know. It will be the only fhilure
ever known, lender such manage-
ment, I shall be unable to ac-
count for it, unless it be that you
have a good %we mum for a wife, a
great deal better than you deserve
ard treat her badly, this being a
just punishment for your tvicked•

I'ullnsan Vestibuled Train
It is universally conceded that, not•
withstanding the advent of old and new
lines into the field of competition for
passenger traffic between Chicago, Mil-
waukee, St. Paul Ad Minneaiiolis, the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway
maintains its pre-eminent position as
the leading line, and carries the greater
portion of the business between these
points;_ It is not hard to account for
this, when we consider that it was the
first in the field, and gained its popular-
ity by long years of first-class service.
It has kept up to the times by adopting
all modern improvements in equipment
and methods, the latest being complete
PullmanVestibuledtrains ranning daily
between Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul
and Minneapolis, and its route being
along the banks of the Mississippi,
through the finest farming country, the
most populous and prosperous tom -is
and villages, it offers to its patrons the
very best service their mcney can buy.
Its dining cars are celebrated through-
out the length and breadth of the land
as .being the finest in the world. Its
sleeping cars are the best belonging to
the Pullman company, being marvels of
elegance, ooinfort and luxury; its day
coaches are the best made, and its em-
ployees, by long -continued service in
their respective capacities, are experts,
courteous and accommodating to all.
It is not at all strange, therefore, that
an intelligent and discriminating tra-
velling public should almost exclusively
patronize this great railway, with its
separate through linos running between
Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Min-
neapolis; Chicago, Council Bluffs and
Omaha; Chicago, Kansas City, and St.
