Sufficient Farm IIelp.
H we start out in the -spring to tiil a farm
of a certain number of acres without suffi-
cient help, then a part of the necessary
work must be left undone or the workonly
partially accomplished. Then is when the
fanner has too -much to do and gets behind
with his work ; neglect disturbs method
and all things are soon out of balance.
Many farmers say they cannot afford to
lure much help. it is as necessary to have
sufficient help to carry on a farm success-
fully as it is to have ally help. If help
cannot be had then let some farmer have
a pf
;.", t of the farm to work, for the extra
" azu(, -ad of land which cannot beproperly
tilli, 1 is so zuuch laud lying. idle. Thus
writes a correspondent of the ifusbandri.an.
He goes. on to state his own naethod :
. "1 will give the 'method whicli I have
followed for years. and I cannot say that I
have had too uniali to do, and at no time
. have been behind with my work. The first
thing I do is to_ provide the -best tools for
all kinds of work and sufficient team power
to use them. 1 mploy the best help I can
get, as I have learned that skilled labor is
the cheapest. Hiring cheap labor to save
- a few.dollars does not pay ;-loss in damage
`-to teams and tools more than offsetting:any
saving so made. It takes_ but a few hours
for an inexperienced or a careless hand to
do much damage. It is my method to
keep as much help as the farm requires.. I
am well aware. that 'many farmers will
. - ..- sa,y..1 as has been . said before, that they
cannot afford to hire so much; but all I
have to say to such. is, start next spring
with more help and tilt- yonr. land as it
.
should be tilled, and put the farm in proper
shape, and- when - the. year comes. round
ffgure up the difference, and see if money

destroyed :by boiling,- - In milk used by
children, whose systems are being built up
and formed, this is of vital importance,
but it is to be seriously considered by
adults whose nerves are repaired and
strengthened by this albumen or nerve
food. The above applies also to eggs and
to all food, The French, who rarely suffer
from disorders of thestomach, never boil
their food. Their cooks are taught to cook
slowly and gently, so that their dishes are
tender, nutritious and easy of digestion.
I am quite aware of the tendency of milk
to hold and even Promote the growth of
germs, as vell as of the typhoid fever
some few years ago in Marylebone and Pad-
dington, and of the source to which it was
attributed ; . nevertheless, except under
extraordinivy circumstances, and for a
short time only, do not boil your milk.—

Green Manuring.
What is the best crop to plough in? This
question is often asked and does not admit
of a very decisive answer. Much depends
uprin the uature of the soil, time of year in
whiclt it is _wished to manure in this man-
ner, climate, etc. If the soil -is worn out or
naturallypoor, -and a very rapid growth is
desired to turn under in early autumn,
buckwheat is recetnruended. It is a close
feeder, and *will make a large and tepid
growth, whore many other crops fail. Too
much cannot be said in favor of the com-
mon red clover/is a green manuring 'crop.
Its roots run very deep', and bring up much
of the fertilizing materials in the subsoil to
be ,deposited in the stems and roots,
especially- the latter, which, --when turned
oyer by the plough, soon decay and yield
a -supply of food for other plants. In some
localities rye is ranked very high as a green
crop to be ploughed under. A few years
ago there was much said in favor of fodder
corn as a -green manure, but repeated trials
proved it to difficult to plough under,- un--.
Jess turned when quite small. The best
treatment of fodder cern is to let it.grOw to
a good size, and -feed to- live Seek; abd.

RAINSFORD AND BERNHARDT.
The Actrese Gets the Necessary Advertise -
meta from the Revivalist - A Severe
Indictment.
Rev. W. S. Rainsford, of Toronto, in a
letter just published, says: I wish I saw
any prospect of a reformation in the
theatre. I wish I could indulge a hope
that first rate conic or tragic representa-
tions might at no distan' date be acted by
actors of good moral tone and pure life.
None but a bigot could, I think, fail to
welcome such a means of afferding to the
care -worn thousands of our twang bread-
winners it means at once of elevating relax-
ation and instruction. Those who go to
hear Sara Bernhardt on Sattirday will by
the -act, unconsciously, 1 dare say, never-
theless effectually, make this most desirable
reformation even more impossible of
attainment than it seems at present. This
woman, of undoubted genius, openly flaunts
her immorality in the face of Europe. She,
a queen of the stage, having attaineda-a
position .from which her influence is
immense, casts aside restraints, the most
vitally important that bind moral, not to
say religious, society together. • Everywhere
she is greeted with applause. Are her
admirers blind? Can they fail to be aware
that. in homage rendered to such genius,
allied to such overt immorality, they make
the path of virtue the more difficult, the
path of vicious compliance the easier, to
toe many struggling for success amid the
tainted .atmospheres that unfortunately
already surround the Profession of the
stage? Moral considerations alone should
keep fathers and. mothers away.. Shall those
who take the natne of Christ en their lips,
kneel at His holy table, and call 'themselves
His followers, turn' aSide 'Worship it

NIIIIIASM : ITS RISE, pROGRESS
AND CHIMERICAL II BJECTS.
Though the assassinated Crar of Russia
liberated many millions of serfs and
accomplished other beneficial reforms for
his people, his rule was by no means that
of an enlightened sovereign, w'po recognized
the right of the people to ride. To this
fact, lamentable although it is, must be
traced the numerous attenipts on the
Czar's life, and the final terrible end.
Apart • from his own slIzort-comings,
Alexander II. had to answer f r many sins
cornniittecl by his predecess rs, rItlizing
what the British Governmen is nSw dis-
covering with regard to ' reland, that
misgovernment, however re note, rarely
fails to bring disaster on the i ling power.
The knowledge of these facts;, the prevail-
ing cerruption and pilfering oil the officials;
and the censorship of the prest,till it could
publish nothing without the liberty of the
Emperor his life. It was, hewever, the
imperial authorities, all tende 3 to fan the
flame of dissatisfaction whi b cost the
extraordinary and unwarranted proceed-
ings of the Emperor's private *freak). which
most seriously irritated the disaffected
populace. The third sect on: of this
li.
" chancery " took entire cognaance of the
secret police. Their chief,'. icting in the
Czar's name, had power to ar est any per-
son on any pretext whatever, hold him for
an indefinite period and it so pleased
transport him to a- fortress o to Siberia.
Persons arrested in this niann r could only
i
be released by order of the bief of these
secret geadarmerie. Thestat' excused the
existence of this powerful find tyrannic
force on the plea that -polit al offenders
/
had to be dealt with by an fficer acting
ander the Emperor's eye. ' 'he most re-
volting cruelties have been perpetrated
