A deapatch from Washington. says: â€"Rev. Dr. T-almage preached from the fololwivng text: “And he took the calf which they had made, and he burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children 011 Israel drink of it."â€"Exodus xxxii. 20. People will have a god of some kind, and they prefer one of their o‘wn making. Here come the Israelites, breaking clft their golden earrings, the mom. as well as the women. 10W in those times they were masculine ar. well as feminine decorations. Whe‘e did they get these beautiful gold earrings, coming up as they did from the desert? Oh, they borrowed them of the Egyptians when they left Egypt. These earrings are piled up into a pyramid of glittering beauty. “Any metre earrings to bring 3” says Aaron. None. Fire is kindled; the earrings are melted and panned into a mould, not of an eagle or a wars charger, but vi a silly calf; the gold canals off; the mould is taken a‘way, and the idol is set up on its. four legs; THIS IS A MIGHTY # GOD. A11 altar is built in front of .the shin- icng calf. Then the people throw up their arms, and gyrate and shriek, and dance mightly, and worship, 510.503 has been six weeks on Mount Sinai, and he comes back and hears the howling and sees the dancing elf these golden-cam fanatics, and he loses his; patience, and he takes the two plates of stone on which were written the 'l'en Commandments and flings them so hard againat a rock that they split all to pieces. \V’hen a man got: mad he is very apt to break all the 'l'en Commandm nts! Moses rushes in and he takes this calf-god and throws it into a. hot fire, until it i3 melted all out of shape, and then pulverizes itâ€"no't by the modern ap- pllance of nitro mariatic acid, but by the ancient appliance of nitre, or by the cld-[ashbuned file. He stirs for the people a most nauseating draught, He takes this pulverized golden calf and throws it in the only brook ‘.‘.-'thh is accessible, and the people are compelled to drink of that brook, or not drink at all. 1 shall describe to you the god Spok- en c‘.‘ in the text, the temple, ms A'L't’Alt O'c‘ SACRIFICE, the music that is made in. the tem- pie, anl then the finii breaking up of I the \thmlc ceulg'eg, ratrou 0'. ido aters. 1:5 no exceptiem. lts temple is vast- cr than St. Paul of the Luglib'h, and St. Peter of tee Italians, and the Al- hambra CI the bptniartls, and the Parthenon of the Greeks, and the i'aj Mun-.1; 01' the Himuttws, and all the oth- er euttwdrals put together.

Further: every god must have not only its temple; but its altar of sacri- fice, and this golden calf of the text is no exception. lts altar is not made out of stone as other altars, but out of counting room desks, and fire- proof safes, and it is a broad, a long, a high altar. \Vhat ducts this god care about the groans and struggles of the victims hefw'e it?

They get down. The hus- band and father flung his family so hard they never got up. There was the mark on them for lite-the mark of the split heatâ€"the death-dealing hoot of the golden calf. Solomon offered in one sacrifice, on one occasion, twenty-two thousand oxen and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep; but that was a tame sacrifice compared with the multi- tude of men who are sacrificing them- selves on this altar of the golden calf, and sacrificing their families with them. The soldiers at General Have- lock, in India._ yvalkecl literally ankle deep in the blood of “the house of massacre," where two hundred we- men and children had been slain by the Sepoya; but the bleed around about this altar of the golden call flown up to the knee, flows to the girdle, flown to the shoulder, flows; to lip. Great God of heaven and earth, have many! The golden call has Still the degrading worship goes on and the devotees kneel and kiss the dust, and count their golden beads, and cross themSel-ves with the blood of their own sacrifice. The music rolls on under the arches; it is made of clinking silver and clinking gold, and the rattling of the banks and brokers' shops, and the voices of alll the exchanges. The soprano of the worship is carried by the timid voices of men who have just begun to specu- late, while the deep bass rolls out from those who for ten years of in- iquity have been doubly damned.‘ Chorus of voices rejoicing over what they have made. Chorus of voices wailing over what they have lost. This temple of which I speak stands open day and night, and there is the glit- tering god with his (our feet on brok- en hcarts, and there is the smoking altar of sacrifice, new victims every moment on it, and there are the kneeling devotees, and the doxology of the worship rolls on, while Death stands with mouldy and skeleton arm beating time for the chorus- “MORE ! MORE! MORE 1" But my text suggests that this worship has got to be broken up, as‘ the behaviour of Moses in. my text indicated. There are those who say that this golden calf spoken of in my text was hollow, and merely plated with gold; otherwise, they say, Moses could not have carried it. ,I do not know that; but somehow, perhaps by the assistance of his friends, he takes up this golden calf, which is an in- ternal insult to God and man, and throws it into the fire, and it is melted, and than it comes out and is cooled off, and by some chemical ap- pliance, or by an old-fashioned file, it is pulverized, and it is thrown in- to the brook, and as a punishment, the people are compelled to drink the namcating stuff. So, my hearers, you may depend upon it that God will burn, and he will grind to pieces the golden calf of modern idolatry, and he will compel the people in thm'u' agony to drink it. If not be- fore. it will be so on the last day. __ The golden calf of our day, like the cone of the text, is very apt to be made out of borrowed gold. These Israelites of the text borrowed ear- rings of the Egyptians, and then melted them into a god. That is the way the golden (39.1! is made nowadays. A great many housekeepers not pay- ing for the articles they get borrow of the grocer, and the baker, and the butcher, and the dry goods seller. Then the retailer borrows of the wholesale dealer. Then the wholesale dealer borrows of the capitalist, and we borrow and borrow, until the com- munity is divided into two classes,those who borrow, and those who are bor- rowed of; and after awhile the cap- italist wants his money. and he rushes Upon the wholesale dealer, and the wholesale dealer wants this money,and he rushes upon the retailer, and the retailer wants his money and he rushes upon the consumer, and we all go down together. There is many a man in this day who rides in near- riage and owes the blacksmith for the tire, and the .wheelwright for the wheel, and the trimmer for the cur- tain, and the driver for unpaid wages, and the harness-maker for the bridle, and the furrier for the robe, while from the tip of the carriage tongue clear back to the tip of the camel’s hair shawl fluttering out of the back of the vehicle everything is paid for by notes that have been THREE TIMES RENEWED. ing to take with you into the next? Will you have two pocketsâ€"one in each side of your shroud? Will you cushion your casket with bonds and mortgages and certificates of stock? Ah! no.

You may, perhaps, take five hundred dollars with you two or three miles, in the shape of funeral trappings to Green- wood, but you will 'have to leave them there. It would not be safe for you to lie down there with a gold watch or diamond ring; it would 'be a temp- tation to the pillagers. Ah, my friends! it we have made this world our god, when we die we will see our idol ground to pieces by our pillow, and we will have to drink it in bitter regrets for the wasted opportunities of a lifetime. Soon we will be gone. Oh! this is a fleeting world, it is a dying world. ‘A man who had wor- shiped it all his days, in his dying moment described himself, when ht- ,said “Fool! Fool! Fool!” But, my friends, it we have made this world our god, when we come to die we will two out idol demolished. How much of this world are you go: 'I want you to change temples, and to give up the worship of this unsatis- fying and cruel god for the service of the Lord Jesus Christ. Here is the gel-1 that will never crumble. Here are securities that will never fail. Here are banks that will never break. Here is an altar on which there has been one sacrifice that does for all. Here is a God who will comfort you when you are in trouble, and soothe you when you are sick, and save you when you die. When your parentsl have breathed their last ,and the old,! wrinkled, and trembling thands can 1105 more be put upon your head for a; blessing, He will be to you father andj mother both, giving you the defense of the one and the comfort of the other; and when your children go‘ away from you, the sweet darlings, you will not kiss them goodâ€"by forâ€" ever. He only wants to hold them for a little while. He will [give them back to you again, and He will have them all waiting for you at the gates of eternal welcome! Oh! what a God he is! He will allow you to come so close this morning that you can put your arms arOund ‘his neck, while he in response will put his arms around your neck, and all the windows of heaven will be hoisted to let the re- deemed look out and see the spectacle of a rejoicing Father and a returneo rprodigal looked in glorious embrace. [Quit worshiping the golden calf, and The difficulty of securing good grass crop on old land makes the work dis- couraging in many localities. The ,grass crop is really an index to the 3farm conditions of the place. You may be able to raise other crops for a few years where grass will not grow, but this will not continue in- definitely. [Each successive year the crops will turn poorer. and diseases will appear which are the result of the impoverished condition of the soil. Farms degenerate in this way rapidly. and in the course of a few years “farming docsnft pay” on that' particular land. When the grass crop begins to fail on any field or farm it is time to enquire into the cause. .There is something radically wrong in the system of farming. Now one system will not apply to all farms. We must adapt them to different soils and find out for ourselves what par- t1cular system is best suited to ours. Take rich soil filled with humus. and the farmer can go forward almost any time in «winter and sew his grass with perfect confidence in obtaining a full crop. But this method applied to a farm where the soil is worn out and deficient 1n humus would utter- ly fail of all good results. Moreover we need more seed to an acre than formerly. especially on poor land, not because the seed is poor but because the soil is not evenly rich. Some of the seed will fall in barren spots and failure to mature and grow. We must to-day prepare our seed bed for grass with the utmost care. This must be done systematically and continually. ’The poorer the more carefully must Ifail to mature and grow. We must 3 also experiment with seeds. Try dif- iferent seed mixtures and find out which produce the best results. ‘We :cannot accept somebody else’ 3 state- ? ment in this regard. Systematic study ' and experiment in seeding grass will “in course of a few years enable a ‘ farmer to get his land well under con- ’trol. Let grass then be the crop to generate the soil. Cultivate and fer- ltilize the soil until grass will grow anywhere in it. Then one can face :the future hopefully. bow: this day before Him in whose presence we must all appear when the world has turned to ashes and the scorched parchment ot the sky shall be rolled together like an historic scroll. . 1 t The first requisite for a good gar- den or farm, is good soil; this is indispensable. Plants cannot reach perfection unless the conditions of growth are favorable. It does not fol- low that the soil must be naturally rich, but plants do not live upon soil, they live in it, and partake of the food it contains. It therefore follows that if the soil does not contain the food the plant demands for growth. and the development of its fruits, it must be supplied. The Question as to the best kind of soil is an arbitrary one. Natural conditions must be ac- cepted as we find them, but it does not follow that a naturally uncongen- ial soil cannot be made to produce good crops.“ . A AI ‘0‘ 9.. -1 l,â€" The condition of the soil is of far greater importance than its charac- ter, and it is upon the former that success largely depends. A lively loam is undoubtedly the best soil (or a garden. Experience and observation show conclusively that many unpro- ductive soils are such from lack of proper tillage. I 0 ‘,__ 9.. AL-‘ 'C'rw- vv_â€" The very general opinion is that the difference in the cost of labor to produce a crap is more than sufficient to pay for the manure used'on the sandy soil, where all the plant food employed is at once available. The de- licate roots of the plants can easily penetrate the sandy soil in every di- rection. At the same time the soil is pressed firmly around the roots. This is an important consideration, as they are so delicate that they will imme- diately perish if exposed to the air, as is, frequently the case in heavy, poorly-prepared soils. 9‘ ,_ 1.A__ O ‘vâ€"â€"â€" Another important consideration is that a greater variety of vegetables can be grown on light soils than on clay ,and they will also be of better quality. tl‘here are but few plants that cannot be successfully grown on light, sandy soils. while there are many that cannot be induced to per- fect their crops on heavy, wet, clay soil. DIF F ICULTY IN CHURNING. Several winters ago we had difficul- ty in churning, says a writer. Our cows were due to come in in the spring and were fed .with good hay and corn fodder, but no grain. The milk was set in small pans for 36 hours, then skim- med and after the cream was slight- ly sour we tried to churn it, but could not make it separate. This winter we have a small quantity of milk, not enough to take to creamery. so we are setting in small pans again the same as before. I put about 1 ,qt boil- ing water into each pan of milk. The cream stirs to butter in a few min- utes, so I conclude the milk was too rich was the reason the butter did not separate. I set the pail of cream on a shelf back of the stove several hours before churning. When just ready to caper-to, 1 add a little Iklmmllk. - JAPANESE \VOMEN'S COLLEGE.

There has been much complaint this‘ tail of an “invasion” of the Colorado potato beetle. The “bugs" have strip- pod the tomato vines in the gardens and have eaten tomatoes and potatoes when no vines remained for them. They belong to the second or third brood. and I am quite sure that any such brood in size that is really harm- ful to crops is wholly unneeeuary and is possible only because many farmers are careless in their method of lighting the first brood. The beetles that appear in the spring deposit their eggs in May and June. The young. after a few weeks of feeding, go into the ground and in about ten days emerge as beetles. ready to begin the work of producing another brood. If the first brood is fought eiIective- ly, there is no later brood to damage crops in August and September. The! beetles that come out of the ground in . midsummer do not scatter much to! other fields, but deposit their eggs on f the vines about them. It is the beetles f i that appear in the spring that seek out l new fields wherever they may be found. At least this is the rule in all localities where an early crop is grown 1 that furnishes breeding ground for the second brood. It is my experience that if the young of the first lot of beetles be killed no second lot may be feared that year. The trouble simply is that L most growers do not kill all the young. ' They do not apply the poison until many of the young have scattered over the entire potato top, and then some es- cape, go into the ground and lay the foundation for another brood. The ‘ grower of 20 acres of potatoes can kill the young as eflectively as the grower of a garden patch. The secret is to ap ‘ ply the arsenite with some sticky dilu- ent to the bud of each plant before any of the young leave the bad. The mix- ture should be strong. it remains where the young come within a day after hatching, and it kills as fast at :hey appear in the bud. When grain is not plump, as was the' case throughout much of the great Ohio valley this year, there is a distinct gain from sweating it in mow or stack lye-' t'ore thrashing. There is an old belief among farmers that the grain becomes more plump in the mow. 1 should not; like to assert that this Is coxrect. yet; we do know that the sweating bright-‘ ens the grain and makes it more at-' tractlve. Shriveled grains are often! bleached, and after six weeks in the; mow they come out much brighter. i The improvement in appearance helps. When timothy is seeded with the wheat, I believe that it is best to let the seed fall behind the drill hoes in- stead of in front of them. Many farm- ers turn the timothy seed sprouts for- ward, so that the drill hoes may cover the secd,and in this way a better stand of plants may be got in a dry fall, but to sell the crop to local mills that do not use the tester, and even with the tester it may grade better on account of the perfectly dry condition. The moisture in grain thrashed early from the shock causes it to test lower than it would when perfectly dry. too many of the plants come on the ridges between the little drills and per- ish later on. The safe place for the timothy plant is in the furrow with the wheat plant, as it is then protected by the ridge on each side, says a Farm and Fireside writer, from whose items of farm theory and practice the fore going are gleaned. Late Fall Pin-thus. We think there is no better time to set apple or pear trees, grapevines and the bush fruits than in the fail if the work is properly done. We would cut back the tops considerably, that they may not dry out, and set them in good soil, but using no manure around them and making the earth a little higher near the plants than away from them, so that no water will stand arouno them, and we should expect to find them all alive and growing the next spring, ready to make new wood that season and to prepare for a fruit crop or fruit buds in the fall if they were old enough. We should not care how late in the tall the work was done; in tact, think the later the better. as we want no new growth to start that season. This holds equally true with almost anything excepting the stone fruits, as peaches and plums. We have been told that they would not thrive under such treatment, but we should not be afraid to chance it it we had occasion to try it, remarks American Cultivator. ._ it has been shown during {our years or field esperiments in New Jersey that the sweet potato soil rot can be controlled by the use of sulphur, and tire years of field testing have demon- mrated that lime is a satisfactory rem cdy tor the club root of turnips.

Tendency to Finish 01 Cattle at I. Early Ase. There is an undoum demand for Prime young beef and mutton m‘ade ready for the market under conditions that will produce rich. red, tender meat suitable for the consumers of choice goods, says C. W. Jones in The Amer- ican Cultivator: This meat is dificult to secure in any market. and it is al- ways high priced, for customers who can secure it are willing to pay extra for it. This meat cannot be raised without attention to what-is needed. iln the case of beef the cattle are not ; young calves, but animals that are ‘ brought to maturity rapidly and finish- Eed of! perfectly. Old cattle finished 06 iafter their third or fourth year do not produce as desirable meat as the year and a half animal brought to maturity I under good feeding and care. The proper time to finish oi! cattle for the E fancy market is from 1 to 2 years old. {The nearer we can get to the former I the better, provided the animal has f reached full maturity and weighs about i: as much as it ever will. It is a ques- ition of feeding and breeding. so that the animal grows smoothly and rapidly from the time of its birth to the day it is sold for the fancy market. i i i Experience has shown that the most profitable age to finish oi! cattle is from 20 to 24 months. That applies to the I . average animal and breeder and is a ’ pretty safe rule to go by, but it is pos- i i s i i : sible to finish on? very tine cattle in 18 ' or even 15 months and obtain for them larger profits than those which reach maturity later. It is all a question of breed and breeding. Animals selected for this tancy work should be without blemish and indicate a strong, vigorous constitution from the start. If they possess these merits, they will prove satisfactory at all times. They need good care from the start and should be alio“ ed to suck the mothers until they are ready for \metning, and then they should be fed as liberally as they can 3 stand of highly concentrated food. We fare not looking beyond the year and a half period, and, no matter what grave results forced feeding may have later in life, the animals selected for this :purpose should hate it. The flesh is Q 'sure then to be rich and tender. When sucking. the mothers must also be fed : liberally on rich, concentrated foods. The whole question of whether cattle raised in this way will be profitable de~ pends largely upon the market one can i send them to. They cannot be classed ‘wlth ordinary cattle, but must seek a 8 . special market where fancy stock is in gdemand. In nearly every large city there are butchers who make a special- ‘ty of securing tine beef cattle. They ‘ have a line of customers who demand ‘better meat than can be found in the .ordinary cattle yards. One must put lhimselt in touch with this side of the 'market to make the most of such a l specialty. An Ideal Cheviot. The Earl is an ideal Cheviot ram owned by Professor C. S.
