ACCLIMATIZING FRUITS.
Improving: Fruit Trees with Reference to
Hardiness.
It scorns to rue that there are only
two possible points of view. You must
begin With first-class fruits and increase
their hardiness, or elso start out with
hardy fruits and improve them, 'ihe
lines may not he drawn as distinctly as
above stated, but the division serves as
a basis of discussion and experiment.
If you have a first-class variety of fruit
that is not able to stand the severity of
the climate of a locality, there is little
use of trying to toughen it by attempt
ing to grow it. The fact that it kills
preeludes the possibility of its becom
ing hardy. If a disease Is invariably
fatal to a certain class of men of a na
tion, it would be folly to expose such
people to the ivifb a hope of
establishing immunity through lifefedi
ty. There is a great deal in the
method of progressive approach, as the
logicians call it Using the same illus
tration, it is a well-established fact
that certain races of men have become
hardened to many things that will kill
off, with much certainty, men whose
ancestors have not been ca’led upon
to resist such unfavorable conditions
in gradual increasing severity. In other
words, it is a law of the individual to
some extent, and of the species or
race to a greater degree, that
living things can gradually become ac
customed to circumstances and condi
tions that would prove fatal if sudden
ly experienced. For example, if lam
not misinformed, there are fruits grow
ing in Southern lowa that will not at
present thrive in the northern part of
the State. It is doubtless true that as
time goes on these plants will gradu
ally acquire a hardiness which will per
mit of their successful culture in North
ern lowa. In this way t!ie good fruits
may become acclimatized in regions
where at first they could not. grow. It
seems to me that nursery-men are
not much given to doing this work in
this way. They send a list of fruits
into a severe region and test the cli
mate and the trees in a wholesale and
unfair way. In this discussion we
must not overlook the fact that a good
deal is known concerning the effect of
climate upon species. For example,
the seed of a tree growing in an ex
posed mountainous place may pro
duce plants that will bear a given cli
mate, while other seeds from a tree of
the same species growing in a sub
tropical climate will produce plants that
readily succumb. Plants from one side
of a mountain may correspond in out
ward characteristics to others of the
same species on the opposite side of the
mountain range, but differ greatly in
their hardiness. The seeds of the one
are offsprings of hardy plants, and
produce plants of great hardiness,
while the others are from parents that
have not been severely tested, and,
therefore, produce tender plants. The
short of it is this: Develop the hardi
ness of good sorts by continually sub
jecting them to less severity than they
can withstand. Do not weaken them
bv -undue exposure, but strengthen
them by a proper amount. On the
other hand, it may be best in some
cases to bring in species or varieties
that are well able to withstand the
severest tests of an almost Arctic win
ter, and, after having once established
orchards or fruit gardens of such
soits, begin the improvement of the
same hv the various methods as iaid
do’wn in the works on the subject, and
existing in the minds of intelligent
fruit growers.
The importance of hardiness is only
appreciated by those who live in re
gions where the climate is severe, and
where as yet fruit trees are uncertain
property. The orchard may do well
for a few years, after which a test sea
son comes and the trees are killed. In
such places it is the iron-clad varieties
or none. These must be introduced
from an equally severe climate, when
they have become hardy by the slow
process of natural selection. Which
ever way Ihe work is done it is slow.
The question of time most annoys the
American. — Dr. B. D. llcilstcd,. in

FEEDING YOUNG CHICK3.
Opinions of a Poultry-Keeper Who Ha*
Achieved Remarkable Success.
I have raised and cared for young
chicks from my boyhood, and seldom
lose any of them, never had a case of
gapes in my experience, and no
amount of disease of any kind, save
only once, a number of years ago,
when I had a bad case of cholera
among my old fowls. For years I have
fed only one way, and always with
success—no hard-boiled eggs, or any
other fancy dishes. From the day they
are hatched 1 feed them as much aa
they will eat live times a day, with a
johnny-cake, made of coarse meal,
mixed with water as stiff as it can be
and thoroughly wet it all; bake in an
oven until done and erumble it when
fed. In addition to this,
old, I keep good wdioffe or
cracked corn where they can help
themselves to it at pleasure. With an
abundance of clean, cold water, and
coops well whitewashed and kept thor
oughly clean, the above treatment will
be found simple, and all that is re
quired. Of course the cake must be
baked every few days, and none fed
that is not perfectly sweet. After
chicks are a month old they will not
require much of the johnny-cake, but
will prefer the cracked corn and wheat,
though they will always relish an oc
casional feed of the cake. Cor. Poul
try Yard.
—William Horne, in the Country
GentlcrAan , encourages those who have
so far pinned their faith to the old hen
in the chicken business, as follows:
“ Few make a genuine success of arti
ficial incubation. I have tried and
tried, schemed and studied, to make a
Euecess of perverted nature in hatch
ing, tending and rearing chickens, and
in the end made a signal failure, entail
ing upon myself much anxiety and
financial loss.”

Rrv.-.'TJTS MISCELLANY.
THE BUND MAN'S TESTIMONY.
Jle stood before the Sanhedrim:
The scowling rabbles gazed at him;
lie rooked not of their praise or blame:
There was no fear, there was no shame,
For one upon whose dazzled eyes
The whole world poured its vast surprise;
The open heaven was far too near,
His Srst day’s lig’at t*o sweet and clear.
To Jet him waste his new-gained ken
On tbe h te clouded face of men.
But still the., questioned: “Who. rtthcm?
What hast thou been? What art thou now?
Thou art not he who yesterday
Sat hero and begged b#Ai<le the way;
For he wai blind.”
—•“And I am he;
For I was olmd, but now I see.”
He told the story o’er and o'er;
It was his full heart’s only lore;
A prophet, on the Sabbath day.
Had touched his sightless eyes with ciaj'.
And made him see who had been blind.
Their words passed by him like tbe wind
Which raves and howls, but can not shock
The hundred-lathom-looted rock.
Their threats aud fury all went wide;
Thoy could not touch his Hebrew pride;
Their sneers at Jesus and His band,
Nameless and homeless in the land.
Their boasts of Moses and his Lord,
All could not change him by one word.
M I know not what this man may be.
Finner or saint, but as for me
One thing I know, that I am he
That once was blind, but now I see.”
They were all doctors of renown,
The great men of a famous town,
With deep brows wrinkled, broad and wise,
Beneath their broad phylacteries;
Tue wisdom of the East was theirs,
Aud honor crowned their silver hairs.
The man they jeered and laughed to scorn
Was unlearned, poor and humbly born;
But he knew better far than they
What came to him that Sabbath day;
And wliat the Christ had done for him
He knew, and not the Sanhedrim.

WHAT THE BIBLE DOES.
The Great Educator of Humanity—lts So
cial, Intellectual and Political Intluenoe.
Travelers tell us that, in traversing
some of oar great Southwestern prairies
there will occasionally appear to them,
amid the dreary wilderness, in summer,
of faded flowers and withered grasses,
a beautiful and refreshing oasis, and
upon examining into the origin of it, it
will be found that it has been produced
by' a subterranean stream which sends
up its moisture through gravel and
shale. What that stream is to that belt
of prairie is the Bible to true, genuine
civilization—its hidden and unappreci
ated, but efficient and unfailing source
of verdure and beauty. Its principles,
its virtues, its atmosphere, its glory,
lay the basis and erect the superstruct
ure of the best social and national life.
Compare Channings 1 strong testimony
here. Not to art or science, culture or
education, but to the word of God,
Europe and America are indebted for
their grand and noble advancement in
those elements that give character to
society and a firm abiding basis to na
tional existence. And in our age this
truth needs emphatic enforcement.
Latter-day philosophers talk otherwise.
It is contended by some that the Bible
excites fear, paralyzes inquiry, im
pedes freedom of thought and speech,
resists science, etc. As contradictory to
this position recall Bacon and Locke in
philosophy; Miller, Dana, Cuvier in
science; Galileo, Kepler and Newtonin
astronomical studies; Milton, Dante,
Scott and Addison in literature; Mo
zart, Iladyn, Handel and Beethoven in
music; Raphael, Leonardo and Angelo
in art; Washington, Kent, Garfield,
and Gladstone in statesmanship.
Truly lias Robertson said: “Expand
the heart and you enlarge the intel
lect.” Even Schleiermacher declared
that to abolish the Bible is to pluck up by
the root all that is grandest and noblest
m truest civilization. The testimony on
this subject of Bacon, Bolingbroke and
Rosseau is remarkable. The Bible is
the great civilizer and educator of hu
manity—a charter of rights and lib
erties as well as an oracle of faith and
a manual of devotion. In substantia
tion of this position look at the part
played by the Bible in man’s life from
three distinct standpoints; socially, in
tellectually and politically.
Socially— Look at family life where
the Bilde has not been, and where it
has breathed its vital breath. Com
pare pictures by Maurice and Farrar of
Roman life before Christ and since—
the position of women and childhood,
for instance. Look at philanthropy in
Bible lands. Where Rome had amphi
theaters for perpetration of murder in
gladiatorial contests, Christian lands
have asylums, hospitals, etc. Note
that the Latin word humanitas and
Greek word agape have taken new
meanings in Bible lands. The iron
age of misanthropy has been changed
into the golden age of philanthropy by
the Bible's influence.
Intellectually Read what Adams,
Webster and Newton says about the
Bible's literary elements and Influence.
Study Genesis’ history, Leviticus’ law,
Job’s poetry, the narratives of Ruth
and the evangelists. The Justinian
code on the Mosaic law.
MoseS supplies materials for “Paradise
Lost.” Scott got his Rebekah in
“Ivauhoe, ” probably, from the Bible.
Wycliffe’s influence is seen in “Canter
bury Tales.” The age of the Reforma
tion is the palmiest age of European
literature. Banyan’s “Progress,”
Dante’s “Inferno,” A’Kempis’ “Imi
tation,” Byron’s “Hebrew Melodies,”
Burns’ “Cotter’s Saturday Night,” and
parts of Tennyson’s “In Memoriam,"
are from the Bible. So in science.
Though not a scientific book, the Bible
has helped to mold scientific thought.
In Bible lands we find the names Locke,
Leibnitz, Newton, Pascal, Linnaeus,
Morse, Herschel, Davy—in Bible lands,
TintoreUi, Titan, Raphael, Angelo,
Ghiberti, and such masterpieces as St.
Paul’s, St. Peter’s, the Vatican; also
the greatest pieces of sculpture and.
painting.
Politically —Tbe Bible, though not a
political work, is a great political pow
er. Read what Mills, Macaulay, Maz
zini and Gladstone say. Talleyrand
said scornfully but truly; “The Bible
is the grain of musk that has perfumed
all Europe.” The Bible will yet destroy

THE HUMAN WILL.
Rev. Sam Jones’ Views as to Who Are the
Fleet and the Non-Elect.
Brother, I am so glad at last the will
of man is the pivotal point. lam so
glad God throws it all at last upon the
human will. Whosoever will. It is
not “whosoever feels, now, nor whoso
ever thinks, nor whosoever mourns,
nor whosoever cries,” but “whosoever
will.” That is it. That makes the
elect straight out, for the elect are the
“whosoever will;” and tlie non-elect
are the “whosoever won't;” and that
is all there is of it. God Almighty has
foreordained from the foundation of the
world that whosoever will may take the
water of life freely; and he has foreor
dained from the foundation of the world
that whosoever won’t take it shall perish
forever. Whosoever will. Brother, he
throws it on the will. Christ says: “if
any man will be my disciple.” “Who
soever will come after me, let him de
ny himself.” The will. There it is.
Now, brother, here is the will and the
intellect and the sensibilities. There is
the trinity that makes the unity—the
will, the intellect, the sensibilities.
Now, God comes through my sensibil
ities and traverses my whole nature.
My sensibilities—He comes up through
my love and affection and my fears
and mv hopes. He just goes all
through my sensibilities, and there
isn’t a door shut in His face. Ho goes
through the whole. Then He comes
up through my intellect, my percep
tion, conception, judgment, memory,
reason. He just runs up through every
avenue of my intellect, and there isn’t
a door to open or to close. But when
God has come up through my sensibili
ties and up through my intellect and
reaches the door- of the human will,
He tiptoes, and says: “Behold, I stand
at the door and knock. If any man
will open to Me I will come in and sup
with him and ho shall sup with Me.”
And God can do all things, but God
never has broken down the door of a
human will. Oh, God will never bring
ife to you until you unlock the door of
your will and pull it open yourself,
and when you do God Himself comes
in and brings life and salvation to you.
Wonderful Progress in Japan.
It is now twenty-live years since
Protestant missions fairly began in
Japan. After the lapse of seven years
there was but one convert, six years
later there were butte one con
vert a year for the last thirteen years.
Now there are 120 churches, 8,000
communicants, and not less than 250
native preachers. Suppose that at the
close of that long thirteen years of
seemingly fruitless labor, some one
had computed the “cost of a convert”
in Japan, pronounced it extravagant,
and advised the abandonment of the
land! The Presbyterian board has in
Japan 11 ordained missionaries, and
1,572 communicants in the churches;
307 were received last year. There are
besides, 27 women from America in
their missions, 10 ordained Japanese
preachers, and 14 licentiates. In the
schools are 833 scholars.
The Gospel has diffused itself, so to
speak, in many cases* and at no cost to
oar missionary agencies. Thus we are
told that a youn£ Japanese had been
imprisoned for being too outspoken.
In his prison at Tokio he set to work
to preach Christ to his fellow-sufferers,
and the news of these efforts attracted
others, till he had 300 hearers. When
released he laid the neglected state of
the prisoners before those in office, and
he has been appointed governor of a
new prison, with the consent of the
authorities to pursue his religious work
—an evidence of the value of words
spoken in season.— N. W. Christian
■ Ad cocate.
The Working-men’s Friend.
The observance cf the day of rest by
abstaining from the ordinary labors of
life, and turning the mind expressly to
the teaching of religion and the care of
the spiritual nature, is one of the
primary teachings of Christianity.
And upon it hang the best interests of
society, while it is deeply related to
home-life and personal character.
The Sabbath is the working-man’s
friend. It was made for man—for a
world of toilers. It is also the friend
of the capitalist He will receive
higher and better work from men who
rest upon the Sabbath and appropri
ately use it. The right observance of
it, it need hardly be said, tends to
healthfulneess, industry, intelligence,
sound morality.
On the score of social economy—not
to speak of the higher plane of spirit
ual life—it becomes of inestimable im
portance for employers to secure for
their workmen the full enjoyment of
the Sabbath, and to set them the ex
ample of the right use of it, and for the
working-men rightly to guard and use
their day of rest. The Sabbath-keep
ing people will have more true com
fort and self-respect and enjoyment of
life. Here, as elsewhere, obedience to
the law of God is the surest way to
healthiest living, to soundest secular
prosperity. — Rev. Joseph Few Smith,
2>. D.
—When we habituate ourselves to
asking: “ What shall I get from the
world?” instead of: “What shall I
give it?” we have put ourselves into
positions that can promise us but lit
tle. The promise of the Gospel—
which is that of nature, too—is to
those who “minister,” not to those
who are “ministered unto.”— United
Presbyterian.

—A writer in the Indiana Farmer
thinks that overwork and the abom
inably early hours of rising on many
farms ere the great reasons why boys
do not stay on the farms. lie thinks
it is a crying abuse for farmers to
drive their business as if their only
aim in life was to see how much work
they could get done in a day, and how
little rest and enjoyment they could
get along with.
—A correspondent of the lowa
Homestead thinks he has discovered a
new way of milking that increases the
flow of milk. lie used to milk with
“one hand up while the other was
down.” He now milks with “b®th
hands up and down together, instead
of alternately.” The correspondent
referred to thinks ho has increased tho
flow of milk from one cow by the
simultaneous movement of both hands
at least eight or ten per cent., andfrom
another four or five per cent.
TO PREVENT* RUST.
Hovr to Increase the Years of Usefulness
of Farm Machinery.
The rusting of iron causes endless in
convenience in all brauces of mechan
ical work. Iron rust impairs the value
of the farmer’s machinery, and the
rusting of nails and bolt3 causes wood
work to lose strength, become leaky
and fall to pieces. Rust may be ban
ished and thorough protection given to
iron whenever it is in such a position
that a coating applied with a brush
does not interfere with its usefulness.
Bright and rough work can be alike
protected, and so may nails, wood
screws and bolts.
Get two or three pounds of red lead
and some boiled linseed oil; do not be
persuaded into Using raw oil. Get
also some Japan drier; this will be
needed at the rate of perhaps a tablq
spoonful to the pint of oil. Red lead
can net be bought ready mixed be
cause it hardens too rapidly. Remove
all the red rust from the iron, steel, tin
or other metal; if painted, take off all
that is not hard and firmly attached to
the iron. Mix up a small pot of the
paint, but not more than will be wanted
for tho work in hand. The Japan is
used 1 ecause quick drying is con
venient. One-tenth as much litharge
in powder as lead is sometimes an ad
vantage, Give the articles a thin coat;
•keep the paint well stirred up as it set
tles very rapidly. When one coat is
dry mix up another and apply as be
fore. If closely covered the mixed
paint will keep twenty-four hours or
more.
This paint is water-proof, and in
making a tank or trough .it is better
than the best white lead for putting in
to the joints when they are put together.
Dip a nail into red lead and put a drop
under the head before it is driven home
and there will be little or no danger
that the wood will ever become “iron
iick” around it. Swab screws or bolt
holes with it, and give the screws or
bolts a coating, and they will not rust
in the wood.
Tin pails covered with two or three
rood coats of red lead paint resist
water as well as though they were rub
ber. The coating is hard and very
lurable; in this respect being greatly
hi advance of any other paint If the
telor is objectionable on iron, a coat of
>rdinary paint may be put on the out
ride.
Red lead paint actually forms a per
fect protecting coating for iron, as wqR
as a cement of no mean strength. The
reason why it is not generally used by
manufacturers may be asked. The
answer is simple. It can not be mixed
in large quantities, in advance, as it
hardens too soon; it is heavy and some
what costly, ys compared with other
paints; it settles in the bottom of the
bucket and is not so easily applied as
white lead and other paints. To the
farmer none of these things are special
objections. The superior protection i9
worth all the trouble required. Finally,
try red lead in putty or make a putty
of it when a water-tight job is wanted.
Joints of carriages, wagons or wheels,
set in red lead putty or paint will not
open, find a red lead coating or prim
ing on & carriage, cart or any other
farm tool, will insure most perfect pro
tection for the wood. By all means,
try it and test it before discussing its
advantages with a wagon-maker. In
dividual knowledge and practical ex
perience is worth considerably more
than good “trade” reasons.— American
