When the manure Is applied In the autumn, or as early as possible after the harvest, It will have time to decay, and all Its soluble Ingre dients will be evenly distributed through the soil by means of the rains, and therefore It. will become accessible to all the roots of the vine the following spring. As soon as the soli cau be easily turned up artar autumn rains will thus be the heal, time to spread manure, as when covered deeply no In gredients beneficial to the vine can he lost. There Is, however, In some In stances, an excess of ammonia In the soil and manure present, and tills will produce a rank growth of wood or vege table matter, and also Influence the droit, and thus give to the wine hail Qualities, affecting its taste and lasting Hoeing $ time* . 3.74 Plants nod resetting missing hills 8.75 Nipping and pruning. 2.&* Mulching and manure. 25.00 Posts for support., 02. * *0 Stakes for support of vines. 300.. fi.00 Wire for support, 300 lbs.

It 1h apt to grow In chiflters; hut this can be avoided, to a very great extent, by good cultivation of the land, and by sowing It thickly. It requires Lo be sown thickly two or three bushels of seed to the acre, If sown alone; but a liberal mixture of other species will give a better result. ! —C. L. K. I,«ltinic In til. I.lght. A firmer faith In the capacity and value of the roll Is the need of the hour, and will give to our youth that charac I Where Por»»*» *'•••» Tt*e Tim ita of foreata upon tbt faith are determined by climate, and more especially by two principal elements •f climate, heat and humidity. The na ture of the aoll la of only aecondary importance. There are trees for al! kinds of aoll, even for the moat un grateful some accommodate them selves to pure sand, other* to compact clay, othern to the ateep and rocky aides of mountains, others to the depths of the marshes. But no tree can pass beyond Its con ditions of humidity or of heat. It la necessary for this great vegetable to have the heat of a summer of at least three months' duration, to permit It to develop Ita foliage, to blossom and bear | fruit, to push out buds destined to ex puna tne following year, iu auu b layer of W'ood to the thickness of It* trunk charged with the support of an ever-increasing aummlt. And It I* nec essary for It to have water, a great deal 1 of water, to convey without ceasing [ the nutritive aitbstance* from the roots to the leave*, where the wap 1* elaborat ! ed. When, by reason of loo little rain fall, the soil dries, the alimentation of the tree ceases, and. as a consequence, its growth. These requirement* bring about the result* that In the arctic zone, where cold reigns almost continually all (lie year, where the oblique rays of the sun never succeed In melting more than the mere surface of the soil, of which the depths remain frozen, the conditions necessary for the life of the tree cease, and we find no more forests. If some birches and wIIIowh appear In that des olate region, they are unable to de velop. They creep on the ground, draw themselves to some protection or are twisted and gnarled. They are hardly able to suipass In height the bumble Htature of the mosses and lichens that ' iiurrdund them.

The growers of berries for market, should realize that ordinary farm meth ods are not sufficient. Berries cannot be grown and market ed as easily as wheat, corn and pota toes. Berry growing, like market garden ing, requires the greatest concentra tion of good soil, labor and thought. Too much land Is the bane of most fruit growing as well as farming. Success would be more certain if acre age were divided, and fertility, prepara tion and cultivation increased. Intensified farming and concentration of energy are the diamond drills that bore out success. Take counsel front books, papers, and pructical growers, but let it be tem pered with your own best judgment and experience. Actual knowledge and practical ex perience should go hand in hand. l<et the beginner commence mode rately, and go slow. Do only what >-an y be well done. Nothing but the la st produet will pay.

We do not hear the discouraging word uttered without re calling an interview with an Intelligent man from New York, whose grandfa ther conceived the idea of reclaiming a tract of land larger than Green Harbor marsh; going to work with courage, he cleared off the hushes and trees, opened drains at considerable expense, letting In light, receiving much in retur-i, though not enough to pay the expenses. The property passed Into the hands of a relative, who, with commendable spirit, prosecuted the work already be gun. "Let us have more light,” said he. “Does the property pay now?" we asked. "Yes; the net profit is ten thousand dollars every year.”- G. J. Peterson. ri«tlllute iklid Msiiilniite OritNiiki. The grasses differ in their floral structure. They are not all uniform in their mode of growth. We have a class that may he called dioecious grasses; that Is, grasses in which the male Hnd the female, or the staminute and pistillate, organs of the flower are arranged on entirely distinct plants. That is the case with only a very lim ited number of species. What Is call* 1 the "buffalo grass," which grows In the South, und In Colorado, and generally on the plains, la one of that kind. I have seen patches of buffalo grass In Colorado, composed entirely of stam Inate, or nisle plants; and other patches composed entirely of pistillate, or fe male planta.

Below that line I he forests appear and extend over all the earth southward to the limits of the continents, which do not approach too near th'* antarctic zone to prevent the growth of trees. However, these forests are broken here and there by mighty plains, such as the steppes of Russia, the prairies of the United States, and the pampas of the Argentine Confederation. There are also the great plains of Australia, the desert of Sahara, the sandy plains of Persia and of Chinese Mongolia, the latter like great leprous patches upon the face of our earth.

We give his in quiry below: 1 have a lot of young chickens four to six months old, and want to know Just how long it will take to fatten them up in the quickest lime. Also how to dress for the Philadelphia mar ket. It Is not at' eaay matter to fatten broilers, as the food rather makes them grow Instead of fattening. Then, again, to force them, may result In leg weakness, bowel disease, etc. Do nut beg I u to fstten until they are eight weeks old. uml then allow two weeks for them to fallen.

It was not always so. Tbe world tried hard to put him down and to put him out. In the year 1200, while excavating for antiquities fifty-three miles northeast of Horne, a copper plate tablet was found containing the death-warrant of the Istrd Jesus Christ, reading In thla wise. "In the year 17 of the empire of Ti berius Caesar,and on the 26th of March, I, Pontius Pilate, governor of the Prae tore, condemn Jesus of Nazareth to dl> between two thieves. Quliitlus Come Huh to lead him forth to the place of execution." The death-warrant was signed by acveral names. First, by Daniel, rabbi Pharisee; secondly, by Johannes, rabbi; thirdly, by Raphael; fourthly, by Capet, a private citizen. This capital punish ment was executed according to law. Tf»« name of the thief crucified on the right-band side of Christ was Ulemas; the name of the thief crucified on de left band side of Christ was Gestus. Pontius Pilate describing the tragedy Bays tbe whole world lighted candles from noon until night. Thirty-three years of rna I treatment. They ascribe Ills birth to bastardy and his death to excruciation. A wail of the city, bull* about those times and recently ex posed by archaeologists, shows a cari cature of Jesus Christ, evidencing the contempt In which he w-im held by runny In IiIh day that caricature on the wall representing a ci-ohh and a don key nailed to It, and under It the In scription: "This Is tbe Christ whom ' the people worship." Out I rejoice that that day Is gone by. Our Christ is com ing out from under the world's abuse The most popular name on -arth today Is the name of Christ. Where he had one frh-nd Christ ban a thousand friends. The scoffers have become wor shipers. Of tbe twenty most celebrated Infidels In Great Britain In our day, sixteen have conic back to Christ, try ing to undo the blatant mischief of tlo-ir . lives- sixteen out of the twenty, livery man who writes a letter or signs a doc ument, wittingly or unwittingly, hon ors Jesus Christ.

I only want to tell you that “unto him shall the gathering of the people be.” In the first place, the people are gath ering around Christ for pardon. No sensible man or healthfully ambitious man Is satisfied with his past lift. A fool may think he is all right. A sens ible man knows he Is not. I do not cere who the thoughtful man la, the review of bis lifetime behavior before God and man gives to him no especial satisfaction. “Oh," he says, "there have been so tunny things I have done I ought not to have done, there have been so many things I have said I ought never to have said there have been so many things I have written I ought never to have written, there have been so many things I have thought I ought never to have thought, I must somehow get things readjusted, I must somehow have the past reconstructed; there are days and niontha and years which cry j out against me In horrible vocifera tion." Ah, my brother, Christ adjusts the past by obliterating It. He does not erase the record of our misduiug with a dash of Ink from a register's pen, but lifting his right bund, crushed, red at the paliu, be puts It agwlust his bleeding brow, and then against Ills pierced side, end with the crltuwou ac cumulation of all those wounds he rubs out the accusatory chapter, tie blots out our iniquities- Ob! never be wi> 1 lous about lbs future: better be anxious shout the past, I put It not at tbs end of my sermon; I put It st the front: Mercy and psrdon through .Shiloh, the Sin pardoning Christ “1'nto him shall the gathering of the people tie " oh! ‘ My a aewa man, **| bava fur fully yaara baaa aa bad aa I ruttlil ba. and la Ibara any warvy far war* Mar. > fur yuu "lib”* aaya aowa uaa bar*.
